Thieving TV License b**

2004/2005 I had a TV License for the first time in my uni halls. As it was the first license I had they made me pay for a year in the first 4 months and then each month after that took a second years money until i cancelled it. When I cancelled it i called and asked for a refund and was told that there was not a full quarter to refund so couldn't get one. However I've now double checked and I've overpaid (on my second year of the license) by just over £40. Can't ring them up now because the office hours are shut, so i don't know what they're going to say, but if they fob me off, what can i do about this? im a student and £40 could well come in handy!

They tend to want to hold onto it and take it off next year
You might as well have wiped your arse with a crisp £50 and then set fire to it, you won't see that money again if you try and fight them for it back.
I would suggest you use the Direct Debit guarantee through your bank and get the money returned. The bank are obliged to refund you the money if you argue any DD payment.
Still, you can rest in bed safe in the knowledge that your £40 has been spent wisely on Anne Robinson's £1,000,000.00 salary:)
I couldn't find owt on the website.
I've been paying for one on my uni room since january, and stopped using it at the end of June.
How do I cancel it?
and um... i'm not altogether too sure that i know what it is either, so i shall sit here and claim it's some terribly foul word in a foreign language.
But since when have the thieving lying cunts over at the BBC given a flying fuck about the law? Time to put every single BBC employee in prison, me thinks.
I wouldn't piss about trying to get money out of them, they're all cunts, you'll be there forever. You might as well set fire to wad of fivers. I would use the DD guarantee to recall all the payments.
