TV licence coc* up

hi all.
rather interesting 1 for you.
bought a tv licence in my gf name on the internet about a week ago now.
there was a problem with the payment, they attempted to take 4 yes 4 payments from the bank, none of which cleared though.
received my tv licence via email as it said i would, i have now received a letter though saying that the tv licence has been revoked because they never received the payment due to "Technical Fault" and that i have to pay again for a new 1 (bit annoyed due to messed around but fair enough i guess)
The really annoying thing now though, is i have rung the tv licence to pay for a fresh 1 and i've told on 2-3 occasions that i have a valid licence from what the call centre operative can see. He can see a payment was successfully taken, even though nothing has even left my girlfreind's account.
So no idea what i should do, i would be happy to keep quiet if they think i have a valid licence and not pay, also i dont mind being legit and paying for 1 (mainly so i dont get upto a 1000 quid fine)

wait 2 weeks and try again saying you do not have a license.
If not give up and create one under your name.
Trust me you do not want to get fined0 -
they wont let me put 1 under mine as the licence covers the house not the people in it0

all sorted now
