Number of TV license Direct Debit refund requests refused in 2016 and 2017

The request was successful.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
Although I pay for my TV license by Quarterly Direct Debit I was charged for a second TV license by an Annual Direct Debit which I did not authorise. This second TV license was for a different person at a different address. A refund was refused as the TV Licensing Authority only refunds to the license holder irrespective of who pays. They refused to release the name of the license holder due to Data Protection Legislation.

My Freedom of Information Request is for the number of License Fee Direct Debit requests that have been refused in the years 2016 and 2017.

Yours faithfully,

Malcolm C Thomas

Dear Mr Thomas

 

We require some clarification in regards to your FOI request RFI2018079.

 

Your request isn’t entirely clear can you please confirm whether you mean
“the number of refund requests made by customers paying by Direct Debit
that have been refused”?

 

Please note the 20 working day FOI deadline will now pause and will
continue once you have clarified the above.

 

Kind regards
