TV Licence Query

    Hey guys, a TV Licence inspector recently called to my house about paying for the licence. He asked if I had a TV set, I told him I did indeed, he instructed me on how to go about paying and told me to get around to it sometime in the coming month. Everything was going smoothly thus far, no issues.

    Now, unfortunately, not more than a couple of weeks after his visit, our TV broke down. We're in rented accommodation with a lease expiring this coming December, so we decided it wouldn't be worth the hassle of getting our landlord to replace the damn thing, so we're just getting rid of it.

    So as you can probably surmise, my question is...can I take back my "yes I have a TV" answer after the fact? They've written to me now looking for payment, and it just seems like I have managed to find myself in the awkward position of having to pay 160 quid for something I don't actually have anymore.

    Anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Will they just assume I'm chancing my arm/trying to get away with not paying? Its just typical this would happen after he called and not before!
