After you have paid the 6 monthly instalments for this year's licence, just cancel the direct debit. Then, if you can't afford to pay in one lump sum again next year, just do the same again.

Yeah, I think I will have to do that. I am sure they won't like that though.\

Good.

I've done it before and wil be doing it again in October once I've paid for this years licence. They just send a letter confirming you have cancelled the dd. Like I'm gonna give them my hard-earned money in advance!

i would ask them why you must pay in front, what is the reason for this? we all have direct debits for ins etc but we dont pay 6 months up front first, plus over the year we will all have paid 18 months!!, this is their way of having a full years licence money from us plus the extra 6 months all in half the time, think of the interest they will get

Reading this post highlights how credit orientated we are nowadays! Personally. I am OK with paying a bit in advance for TV licence & all in advance for road tax, rather than charge going up.

I'm not bothered now about paying 6 months in advance for my TV Licence. It's easier for me to part with £11ish a month than scrape together the full fee when it comes around to renewal time. I know it seems a bit daft the first year when in effect you pay for 1.5 licences but once the payments drop from £20something it gets a lot easier and to be honest, it's not really something I think of anymore.

You'll then start to pay for your next licence in 12 monthly instalments of around £11 per month (six months before and six months after) and continue paying for licences in this way. If you don't require a licence for the entire year, you may be able to apply for a refund.

Cheeky SCUM!

It's not bad enough they continuously send threatening letters if you don't have a TV, they want you to overpay them by up to 6 MONTHS?!

How bothered will you be lying in the mortuary with the knowledge that you've paid for a couple of months tv licence that you won't be using!

On a side note - I don't have one as I don't watch tv.

You pay 12 months in 6 monthly payments (or 26 weekly or fortnightly) and thereafter 6 months in advance and 6 months in arrears, no extra charge. (cash, debit card, DD, text)

You could pay Direct Debit quarterly in advance but they add £1.25 x 4 !!!
