    Good on them - you're over a week behind in your payments.

    Pay up or face the consequences.

    It means that your license isn't valid at the moment so surely they are doing you a favour. Your wouldn't want to be caught without a license would you.

    It doesn't though. Their current license is fully paid up.

    I do agree that chasing up a payment that was due over a week ago is not impatient at all. Giving the customer the chance to put things right rather than letting things slide until there was a real problem- very responsible.

    Not as impatient as someone who, for example, complains because they only get told an ATM has no cash once they've inserted their card and asked for cash.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    Companies can't win, they inform you of a missed payment, your not happy. If they had sent you a demand in a months time you still wouldn't have been happy.

    Easiest solution, don't miss a payment and they wont contact you!!!
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    They rang you?? We're lucky then because we got a text message to say a payment was due even thought we're paid up and now paying for the next one.

    I'm glad I got rid of my TV - no longer have to fund or deal with this shower of extortionists!
