whitehorses Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have just received notice that my TV licence is up for renewal on or before 31st August. All very well except I purchased it in September 2012 (25th) It's supposed to be for twelve months unless I'm very much mistaken. I contacted them and they say that it runs from the 1st of a month and they cannot change the expiry date on my licence. It's a right flippin rip off, has anyone else had this ?

PAKS4 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Always buy it at the beginning of the month, like road tax! Or you will lose out, nice scam they've got going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staunton Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 When you say TV licencing, I presume you mean Capita plc, the tax-avoiding multinational? http://tvlicensingwatch.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/never-ever-talk-to-capita-bbc-tv.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjon Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I don't pay,havn't for ages.No one has bothered me and if they did, just don't sign owt. Do you also take what you want from shops without paying? Or mug old ladies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehorses Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Thanks for your replies and links. Still feel cross, it wouldn't be so painfully irritating if it was say a small business doing it, but this just feels like robbery while the powers that be happily look the other way. Honesty doesn't pay any more does it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
