Re: TV Licence gone up??
The colour one has definitely NOT gone up. Pay loads of these on behalf of tenants as part of my job.

Re: TV Licence gone up??
Oh is this then because it went up in april it is effected me now. The dd thing is crazy, as this is just another extra bit they take off you, if anything it should be cheaper.

i would have thought that paying by dd wouldn't incur an extra charge at least ,alot of companies tend to charge extra for not paying by dd so yes it is a bit of a rip ,that's why i don't use them

The fee has not gone up, you are paying more because you have chosen to pay in 4 quarterly instalments which incur a £1.25 charge every 3 months nothing more, if you want the cheaper price pay in one instalment.

You pay instalments of around £37 every three months. By paying quarterly the majority of your licence is paid for on a pay-as-you-go basis. This differs from our other instalment schemes, where at least half of the licence fee is collected in advance. As a result, quarterly payments incur a small premium of £1.25 per quarter which is included in your payment.

Re: TV Licence gone up??
Even monthly DD only cost £2.94 pa 0.245p pcm. Seems a very steep price for quarterly by comparison.
