I told her I returned it pointing out that it sates "YOU" are obliged under such and such an act to complete the form and that I wanted to clarify who you is...

She said "you, the householder"....

I said, I'm not YOU though I'm me, there's no one here with that name...

I explained that the Central Statistics Office was a company and that it's my right not to do business with them.

"You, the householder"...

-"That's not my name..."

She said she'll pass it on to the legal department and they'll be in touch...

I told her to tell them to let me know who YOU is...
