Tv Licence Farce!

[Bobbisox1]

I've applied twice with the form and set up my DD, today I've received yet another same form to fill in, now holding on the phone, 40 minutes and counting , I'm near to saying
Okay you won't take notice of me then ***! I'll not have a licence !

[barry1010]

I had the same but when I spoke to them they told me to ignore the letter, it was being dealt with and would take time. As long as you have proof of your first application I wouldn't bother to contact them.

[emmie]

i found mine easy peasy....

[Bobbisox1]

I don't have proof though Barry, I sent it to them....twice

[barry1010]

emmie, it is easy peasy to apply - but they aren't processing the applications quickly enough so are sending out reminders to people who have already applied

[barry1010]

Didn't you do it online, Bobbi?

[teacake44]

Not really a problem or a farce.

[Bobbisox1]

Btw, the swear word was no more than s-o-d it!

[emmie]

ok. i did mine a while ago, and found the whole thing straight forward

[barry1010]

Have you had your licence, emmie? I applied on 13th August and still have not received it

[pumpjack]

You do not need to pay TV Licence I have never paid a TV licence in my entire life ,
I am in my mid 50s,

anyway it's daylight Robbery they don't even give her pensioners Free TV
why would you want to give the lying fake BBC money anyway utter Madness

[barry1010]

I'm not surprised you have never bought a tv licence, pumpjack. However, I don't expect to get something for nothing and still consider it great value so I am happy to pay.
Pensioners on pension credit do get free tv licences.

When we came back from Spain I applied for a TV licence and it was a nightmare and went on for months.
I received an application form,I filled it in and returned it,then I received another..............infuriating.
Then a final one telling me that further measures were to be taken.
That was 3 years ago.

[ummmm]

Just go to a shop with a pay point and pay it in full. That's what I do. It's not like it's loads of money.

[barry1010]

Are you no longer living in Spain, Sqad?

[emmie]

barry, if i get pension credit when turn 66 in december, does that mean i get free Licence.....

[barry1010]

When you reach 75, emmie.

[Mamyalynne]

Over 75s on Pension Credit don't have to pay.

[Bobbisox1]

I've done it online as I'm waiting for them to speak on the phone , I need to speak to them as I've been now without a licence , eventually got through and guess what's to blame?
Yep it's that C word again

[ummmm]

I don't understand the hostility towards the BBC. They have produced some brilliant TV,

barry...no, we came back 2 years ago.
