Hi all this is my first time writing in a forum, so i am a bit nervous. Early last year a TVL officer gave me a visit. I have a TV but I haven't watched TV for about 7 years. My understanding was that you had to pay TVL if you owned a TV. Was taken to court but never attended as it was on my birthday and that is depressing. I was fined £310. I called the court to pay, but they said it had gone to the enforcement. I called them up and made an arrangement to pay £80 a month. before or on 28th I made 28th October payment. Then paid 29th October for november payment. Then 29th November which was December payment because I knew it would be a sticky month. So for me I am up to date. But I made no payments in december. So now i got a notice of attendance. More money has been added. Not dated which is quite scary! While researching on the TVL website I noticed that I didn't have to pay license because I do not watch live TV nor do i watch catch up. My T.V is strictly for game console. I have called TVL and they are reimbursing me money I have paid for this years License. My two questions. Even though I am up to date but didn't pay in December can they add on money. Can i go back to the courts and say I was wrongfully taken to court with misguided information. Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi I have the above mentioned demanding an outstanding amount of £590.00. I do not know what this amount is for or where this originated from. Collectica themselves are not able to tell me either when I contacted them, just that it was for a non motoring offence dating 2007. They put any action on hold for 28days for me to try and trace what the sum is for. They gave me contact numbers for the local Magistrates (Stratford), and for Port Talbot, saying that the debt had been transferred from there. Stratford simply stated they did not deal with transfers and referred me back to Collectica. Port Talbot could not find any information, they said they checked all four systems and nothing was coming up on my name. They said, dating 2007, this was pre the systems they have in place now and without more information about the debt, like the originating Court, could not help any further. I went back to Collectica and relayed to them what I had been told. I was told that was incorrect, even though they cannot tell me the originating Court, Port Talbot can find it, they keep diaries and can locate by date. Collectica put another 28day hold on the account. I contacted Port Talbot again telling them what I had been told by Collectica, only for Port Talbot to inform me that Collectica were incorrect. The lady even checked with a senior colleague if there was any way they could help to trace the information. They were unable to help but advised that Collectica must have the information because they cannot accept the transfer without the information. I am completely confused and don't know what to do next as now I have received a Pre Removal Notice from Collectica dated 5th Feb - (2nd 28 day stay was up 5th Feb) Can they enforce given that I know nothing about this and they themselves cannot tell me what it's for? Is the alleged debt even mine? Thanks for your time
