In case you know someone who might be taken in -
I received an email from TV LICENSING - GOV UK,
Dear TV Licensing Customer,
This is an automatic notification from TV Licensing.
We are sorry to let you know that the TV Licence could not be automatically renewed. Something's gone wrong with your payments
As we couldn't take the latest payment from your bank account, this amount will also need to be paid when you set up your new Direct Debit.
Setup Direct Debit
Remember, if you don't keep up with your payments, we may be forced to cancel your license or pass your details to a debt collection agency.
...............
You could warn people who might be taken in by this - what a sneaky trick when we are so dependent on our TVs.
