  1. Hi Baliff, Very informative, thank you. Yes it is for my partner. On the visit, the agent didn't sign us up to a DD, he asked how we wanted to pay; and arranged a card/payment date. He did suggest DD would be a cheaper option. He advised us it would cover the payments missed via our original DD. And when Akinika got involved, they advised they were to collect the balance for the license for the year, which included our original missed couple of DDs and when the job was lost. We're not looking at contesting it, as that seems a bit pointless, although we were advised elsewhere just to send it back blank because of the name (surely they'll just amend it?) My partnerer spoke to the clerk at the court in question today and they advised a quick return, outline everything re job loss etc and buy a new license, which I've already done. Then hope you get a magistrate in a good mood. They also said chances are, first offence, will be a small fine and costs to about £120. He advised there shouldn't be a mark on record that shows via a 5 year checkable history in this case. Can that be confirmed as so far I've found answers in both camps. Cheers to both of you, so much appreciated.
  2. This is what mystifies us, everything else was in the right name when dealing with Akinika. I'll check if the statement is about later. Thanks for the links! Baliff Advice, I'll look through your longer post and come back to you.
  3. Hi guys, Sorry if this is in the wrong place. We didn't notice our TV License payments had stopped going out the account, fair cop, had a visit and arranged a payment card. Made a couple of payments as arranged, lost my job, cut out TV use* and started having letters from Akinika. While waiting for benefits to come through (a saga in itself), I advised them of the job loss, and they set it aside for 14 days while the JSA claim went through. This was later August, and the claim took longer than expected. I have written several times asking to then to agree to a repayment plan for the outstanding owed, and the fact we no longer use/stream/record TV. No response. Today I've received a SJPN summoning me to court for non payment, and I'm looking at how to proceed: As far as I was aware, this was still with Akinika. We informed them the was not Tv use several times, lost job = cut backs at home. They've addressed it to the wrong person, surname is right, no idea where they got the first name from. Doesn't bear any resemblance to mine or my partner's name. Any advice appreciated. *Has been used only for consoles since. No mobile streaming either. (If I'm slow to reply this afternoon, appointments and school run)
