Paypoint barcodes and person's name.
Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
In my local area shops with paypoint terminals are outright refusing to issue new TV licences, therefore they only way to pay without ownership of a bank card is through a £12.50 postal order plus postage and license costs. How many complaints have you had about not being able to purchase a new license via paypoint? Have you investigated creating a session based barcode that has the address details for a new license so it can be used with paypoint terminals. All paypoint shop staff asked for a barcode which does not exist for new TV licenses.
When buying a new license for a single domestic dwelling, what are the specific laws and regulations that say a person's name must be supplied for a new license to be issued? Can a new TV license be purchased without providing any name?
Yours faithfully,
Joe Kemp
