Any idea why my TV Licence renewal notice shows an increase in the direct debit amount? Last year was €12.66 per month and the notice for this year tells me it will be €12.91. I don't recall any increase in the last year, and it seems like a tiny amount of an increase regardless. I'll give them a call on Monday, but I know one of our clever readers has the answer!
 
The quality of the programming on RTE 1 and 2 has increased to such an extent that you should be glad to pay and extra €0.25 per month.

Either that of the entertaining Mr. Tubridy has gotten a pay rise.
 
According to the rate was increased on 1st April 2005 from €152 to €155.
I pay mine annually in June and the new rate was applied then.
It looks like you got 8 months at the old rate. So that should make you happy with the service

Rainyday, are you going to pay them the extra money for the eight months?

My good friend Jem has a great saying for situations like this - Don't feed the trolls!
 
So you actually get a discount of €0.08 if you pay by monthly DD?

12 x €12.66 = €151.92
12 x €12.91 = €154.92
 
There's probably a balloon payment at the end to cover the €0.08.
 
I attempted to pay my TV Licence today by phoning the low cost number and paying by credit card. I had to deal with a machine that asked me to quote my 16 digit TV licence number. Not an easy thing to do. Why do I need to quote 16 digits?
I had been sent my renewal notice with a PIN number attached but couldn't use this?
I was then asked to key in my credit card number. The system didn't recognise my credit card. Eventually I was transferred to a human being who could not match up my account number with my address. When I asked why, I was told that they were updating their records.
I was told that it will take 10 days to have my licence posted out.
 
...and so you dredged up a five year old thread to have a moan about it....

Good work!!


On a side note... ClubMan - do you realise you've averaged 20.26 posts per day for nearly six years...?
 
and RainyDay...CCOVICH....GeneralZod....who are they when they are at home now?

Incidentally PetrolHead, I thought that we were supposed to search for topics to see if they have been covered before rather than start a new one. Sometimes itis nice to see if things have changed from 5 yeras ago to today or are some companies still as inneficient as ever etc.
