I brought this up and was told that management tried but were turned down due to all customers not meeting the criteria and again after appealing that they would take off those customers still no. I don't understand what this means. Does anyone know how to find help with this? Thanks.

Might be easier to simply not require a TV license at all. That would be by not watching any live tv or using BBC iPlayer. This would only work for you of course if you are paying your license yourself.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe and Old Style Money Saving boards.

ok - so maybe you could explain or find out a bit more info as to why not all residents meet the criteria. That seems to be the crucial bit I think. Do you apply for your license separately? Maybe there's something on the application process that allows you to request the discount?? I did just apply for a license myself but didn't notice anything.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe and Old Style Money Saving boards.

I ended up buying a license but will ask the warden again - it's just she does not seem very reliable or honest. It says nowhere that all residents must ,meet the criteria which is what I have been told.0

I rang them up and apparently all residents must be over 60 retired or disabled which makes it just about impossible! We have 2 residents working so that's it. No concessions.0
