Tv Licence Bill
23 Answers
is it easy to set up paying for tv licence by direct debit, monthly or even weekly, hadn't looked into this before. so want to know if its a complicated process, where do i start. ?
Answers
No. Sort it out at least 6 months before your licence expires - that way your monthly payments will be smaller as you have to pay 6 months in advance so speak to them in January.

Very easy ^ But the ONLY way to spread the cost that does not cost extra is the way I do it quarterly payments.

Yes Eddie you are paying an extra £5 per year.
I currently pay £12.37 per month for mine but paid £12.12. for the first six months. At some stage (usually in December) they will take an extra 6p, making £147 in total. The TVL people (like many government agencies) seem to have a very strange way of collecting the sum due by monthly direct debit. It seems you pay for six months up front and six months in arrears (or rather, as you use the licence). I never really got to the bottom of it because the total always works out OK. Quite why they cannot simply take £12.25 per month is beyond me. I suppose it’s for the same reason that the State Pension people (unlike just about everybody else in the known universe) make their payments every four weeks instead of every calendar month.

"but if you died part way thru a month, you might have an extra days' pension you are not entitled to"
No you wouldn't because it's paid in arrears. However, if you died (say) 10 days before the payment was made and the Pensions people were not told in time to stop the payment, your executors would have to pay back 10 days' pension. This would apply whether the payments were made every four weeks or every calendar month.
Almost everybody's bills these days are calendar monthly. Those relying solely on a State Pension must find it very difficult to manage their affairs when the date of their bills and the date of their pension payment can be up to two weeks apart.
