The Simple Payment Plan was created for those in financial difficulty.

Qualifying customers can choose from either a fortnightly or monthly payment plan that spreads the cost of a TV Licence over 12-months, this means you make smaller payments more frequently, helping you to better manage your finances.

TV Licensing accepts referrals to the Simple Payment Plan from not-for-profit organisations such as charities or local authorities. It does accept referrals from commercial organisations.

More information on the simple payment plan and how to access it can be found on the TV Licensing website. There are other TV licence concessions, which you might be eligible for depending on your circumstances.

There are concessions available for:

• People who are aged 75 or over and receive Pension Credit.
• People who are blind (severely sight impaired).
• People who live in qualifying residential care and are disabled or over 60 and retired.
