I've just had an e-mail from this lot, telling me that they haven't been able to process my direct debit for my TV licence that expired at the end of February.
Of course they wouldn't as there isn't one. We've had a free TV licence for fve years, so how can it "expire?" They want me to set up a new direct debit.
As I understand it the free TV licences for Pensioners ends in June. The e-mail I received was of the, "Do not respond to this e-mail, go to this site and answer a lot of fool questions," nonsense, how I hate those, it really put my back up.
So I e-mailed 'em back through their maze of a website telling them to contact me again in June.
What I think's happened, is that some overpaid manager at the BBC has told the tech boys to stick all those people who currently have an OAP free licence, back in the system, so they automatically get picked up by "the late payment" "app."
