    Hi

    Does anybody know if you get any period of grace to buy a TV licence after you receive a call from the Inspector?

    Thanks in advance

    I just got a letter on Friday to say 'I wish to inform you that the TV Licence Database indicates that the above address is not covered etc'.

    Should I wait until the Inspector calls? Do I have a few more weeks? Will I get a reminder letter sent out?

    If you never held a TV licence at that address (i.e. you don't have an expired licence), I'd wait till the knock comes to the door. After you get called upon, you're given 10 days to get the licence.

    You can put the license on direct debit, monthly payments of 13 euro, easier than the one lump sum.

    ok inspector called yesterday and left a calling card saying we had 5 days for the "occupier" to get a licence. My question is do I have to give my full name when I buy it or can I just put the householder on it and pay my money.

    I'm guessing that would be too easy. I'd say they will be looking for a name.

    I got one a year ago once I moved into my house, Thankfully my name wasn't on it, Heard nothing since thankfully. I reckon one of them spotted the house and noticed it wasn't on their database and decided to chance sending a letter.

    Hi, I am new to this posting business but I do have a question regarding TV licence. As it is 2018 and it will soon (if not already) be coming in that every house hold will now need a TV licence. I have moved into a house recently and I have never had a TV licence in my name. The house is in an estate. We do have a TV and will get a licence but only when I have to. So im just wondering, if there is a grace period if an inspector comes to the door. Or should i just avoid answering the door until I have the cash to get the licence.
