Spread the cost with TV Licensing
Torfaen Council has teamed up with TV Licensing to advise people in Torfaen about how they can spread the cost of the TV licence.
TV Licensing understands that in the current economic climate some people may struggle to pay for their licence all in one go.
A new cash payment scheme means that customers can make small weekly or fortnightly payments towards the cost of their licence They can also check their balance and change their details online at www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cashplans| or by text message.
Transactions are quick and simple, making it more straightforward for cash schemes customers to manage their payments. Customers can still choose to pay over the counter or by phone – an automated service is available 24 hours a day.
TV Licensing would always prefer people to buy a licence rather than risk prosecution and a fine, which is why we offer a range of ways to pay.
People can also spread the cost using monthly or quarterly Direct Debit, which can be set up online, by debit or credit card over the phone or online, over the counter at any PayPoint outlet or by putting a cheque in the post.
Remember, if you are over 75, or are living with someone who is over 75, the licence is free.
