No billing received for past 3 years

<p>I am not happy with the SABC, I have not received an account or TV licence in the past 3 or 4 years. Generally I remember more or less when it has to be paid. During April this year, I received a call from the SABC and then checked my Bank account, as I thought I had paid them. I then realised I did not make a payment and paid R300 on 20 April. I immediately received an sms thanking me for my payment. Today I realised it is July, I should probably pay the licence. I then checked on their site what the 2017 fee is, as once again I received no statement or reminder that my licence is due. What a shock, according to the SABC I owe them almost R500! Low and behold, I have been charged R26.50 interest per month on an amount of R265 per year. Come on, that is surely not legal and secondly, not once was I informed of this outstanding money. I also find it interesting that they managed to have a current cell phone number for me, but I have not received any correspondence via SMS, email or Post to inform me of this fee. At R26.50 per month, that is over a 100% interest rate per year. Get real guys - we don't even watch any of your programmes. </p>
