Answer 1

Of course - you are paying over the odds for the privilege of laying monthly, same as any other provider!

Answer 2

I think you are a bit muddled.
I pay my TV licence by direct debit and there is no charge for doing so, as it is worth their while to have this security of payment rather than chasing up annual payments.
My 135.50 is paid as follows; 1 @ 11.41 (March 2007), 5 @ 11.37 (Apr to Aug), 1 @ 9.19 (Sep) and 5 @11.61 (Oct 07 to Feb 08).
My licence runs from 1st Sep until 31 Aug so you pay half of it before 1 Sep and half of it after.
However to get you on this system, I quote as follows:- Your new licence is paid for in monthly instalments within the first 6 months. You can then start to pay for your next licence in 12 monthly instalments of around £11 - six payments before it begins and 6 after. These payments will ALWAYS add up to the ANNUAL licence fee.
If you pay quarterly there is a premium of £1.25 per quarter because most of your licence is paid for in arrears.

Answer 3

£22.50 for 6 months works out at £135. if you have the money and can buy a full years license, youll not have to remember to buy it again, as theyll send you a letter near the time it needs renewing. or you can pay £35 a quarter by direct debit. they only thing with that is that you have to pay £140.50 for the full thing. the full price of the license is £135.50 a year.

Answer 4

why is your spelling so bad? it makes it hard to read your question!

and it looks like you copied and pasted your answer, you know you only need to ask a question once!

but anyway... it really depends on how much money you have.

the monthly instalments wont be cheaper than paying off all in one go!
its normally for people who don't have all the money in their account and need to pay it monthly when they have the money.

if you do have the full £135 then pay it off for the whole year and you wont need to worry about it again until next year.

i personally prefer to pay for it for the whole year, so that i can forget about it and don't need to keep worrying about this and that bill still needing to be paid.

Answer 5

We do,purely so its not something else we have to worry about.
