Can anyone advise me on how to deal with Collectica.
They wrote to me back in August saying that I have to pay £505.00 for not paying Lancashire Magistrates court
the money that I owe for not having a tv licence.
This is quite in depth and goes back to 2012
I will keep the long winded story to a minimum.
I was staying at my sisters.
Her home,
her tv
In my ignorance I signed to say that there was in fact no valid tv license at this address
He already knew this ( obviously)
I just thought there was little point in pleading ignorant and signed !
It goes on further by writing to the courts and explaining the situation,twice !
I never received a response from either.
The court has since instructed Collectica to collect the money from me.
A letter of their intention was sent to an address that I no longer lived at and hadn't done for almost 6 months.
Eventually I received a letter from them at my current address.
I called them as instructed in the letter deciding that this wasn't going to go away and make an arrangement with them.
...as stated in the letter.
Long story short, the guy was rude,
wouldnt let me speak and refused point blank to accept an arrangement
as I have been ignoring them for months.
It was at this point that their screw up with the wrong address came to light
but the guy just didn't want to know saying that there was no intention of accepting any such arrangement
and that the letter was a ruse just to get me to call
and make immediate payment in full.
Eventually he agreed, after supposedly speaking with his 'manager' to give me until November 16th to get the money together
which brought huge sense of relief !
but now today 20th October.
I received a text to say that full payment is due tomorrow and to make the payment by then.
I have called them but got nowhere.
They just don't want to listen and said if payment inst received tomorrow
then I have to accept the consequence
Sorry if I have gone on a bit...really stressed with this !
