Just had a very convincing email from "TV Licensing". Tells me my license could not be automatically renewed, and that if I don't keep up the payments, they will cancel the license and pass the details to a debt collection agency. Did seem a bit odd that "you're now covered until 11/13/2019" as this isn't the way we write dates in UK.
So I printed it off, to take into my bank and check the direct debit. And the email address was " at telenet.be". Not dot uk. I've checked the Money Saving Expert website and it's a scam. So if you get one of these, don't click on the link to set up a direct debit.

2025=3 sites, 5 nights; 2024 = 20 sites / 41 nights. 2023 = 9/23. 2022 = 13/35. 2021 = 11/29. 2020 = 4/20. 2019 = 13/35. 2018 = 20/33. 2017 = 10/22. 2016 = 19/33. 2015 = 15 sites / 27 nights. Didn't count 1976 to 2014.

XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

We got one but as we are still on the Free licence until June 2020 i just ignored it. There are a load doing the rounds at this time of the year.

Despite all the clues that it's "not right", Which? reports that more than £830,000 has been lost to this scam. (That article was dated March 2019, so the figure is likely to have increased by now.) That's a lot of folk who've been fooled & are out of pocket.
