Like most people, I've always hated paying the TV license but like their bullying tactics, their payment system is also pretty corrupt. If I pay in quarterly DDs, they want to add a £5 premium. If I set up a monthly DD payment, you pay the full fee in 7 months, yet they still keep charging you £13.25. So unless you cancel the DD, you'll always be £60 in credit!
Canceled many moons ago, but then don't watch TV (to much) TV license is as old and popular as this forum.. going downhill.
