Television is an essential part of our daily lives. We spend hours watching our favourite shows and movies, but many of us forget to keep a check on our TV licence balance. It's crucial to keep track of your TV licence balance to avoid any legal consequences.
What is a TV Licence?
A TV Licence is a legal permission to watch or record broadcast television. You need a TV Licence to watch or record live television programmes as they are being broadcast. You also need a TV Licence to download or watch BBC programmes on demand.
Why should you check your TV Licence Balance?
If you don't have a valid TV Licence or if your licence has expired, you can be fined up to £1,000. A TV Licence is valid for a year and needs to be renewed annually. It's important to check your TV Licence balance to ensure that it's up-to-date.
How to Check your TV Licence Balance?
You can check your TV Licence balance online by visiting the official website of TV Licensing. Follow these easy steps to check your TV Licence balance:
- Go to the TV Licensing website.
- Click on 'Check if you need one'.
- Select 'Already have a licence'.
- Enter your TV Licence number or your postcode.
- Click on 'Check now'.
If your TV Licence is up-to-date, you will see a message confirming that you're covered. If your licence has expired, you can renew it online. If you don't have a TV Licence, you can purchase one online.
Other Ways to Check your TV Licence Balance
You can also check your TV Licence balance by calling the TV Licensing customer service. The customer service is available from Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 6.30 pm, and on Saturday from 8.30 am to 1.00 pm.
It's important to check your TV Licence balance regularly to avoid any legal consequences. Make sure to renew your TV Licence before it expires to continue watching your favourite programmes without any interruptions.
