And then there's this variation of it. Does that company [Capita] really know what it's doing?! Or is it purely playing it by ear, trying to catch people unaware?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842058748829949605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-70175415389574644342014-04-16T11:24:00.462+01:002014-04-16T11:24:00.462+01:00Thanks for your comment.

You may well be right, but as this story made the front page of The Sun we thought we'd mention it.<br /><br />The real concern is when some one pays by monthly DD. In those circumstances they are forced to make double payments (about £24/mo) for the first 6 months, then the payment reverts to about £12/mo from then on. This arrangement means that the first licence is paid for within 6 months and the licence holder is effectively 6 months in credit for every payment after that.<br /><br />Even though the licence holder is in credit by that stage, should they default on a DD payment then TV Licensing will set their dogs on them.<br /><br />That really is criminal behaviour.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702203117069680585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-10045380615534623282014-04-16T00:24:06.375+01:002014-04-16T00:24:06.375+01:00Forgive my ignorance, but isn't it normal prac...Forgive my ignorance, but isn't it normal practice for a company to charge extra for people paying via Direct Debits? I know not all companies do it, but it isn't beyond the ordinary. When I had a licence a few years ago, I was paying by card on a fortnightly basis, so I didn't have to deal with Direct Debits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842058748829949605noreply@blogger.com
