“Official gov site but run like a loan shark company”

written by dingding1 on 15/07/2022

I pay for my TV Licence. Always have. 30+ years. But dealing online with this website is a poor poor experience. Having paid for a licence for my daughters student house, they moved out after 9 months, and then the TVLA start chasing with threatening letters. She moved back in, new housemates and time to renew a licence. But all TVLA can do is backdate it 4 months to when the old one expired, despite noone having been there and without confirming that point to me. Now the new licence will run out '3 months early' and I will not buy another licence just for that. The real point is that the tvlicensing.co.uk website is officious, nasty and hard to use. Its no wonder they will scrap the system as the means to fund the BBC. Just put it on everyone's taxes and avoid the nastiness behind this interface.
