SABC's TV license ******* practice

ID: ********** 159085 TV license no. - ********** 77

Good day,

I received a call from MBD attorney's last night saying that SABC has handed me over to them for overdue TV license. They say that it had to be paid in September 2017 and I remember getting a reminder but then I forgot and I got no other correspondence or phone calls from them to remind me again. I totally forgot as this is an annual payment. Also, we don't even watch SABC and only use Netflix or the Internet for our entertainment. I don't even own an aerial to receive SABC reception.

So, I am not sure exactly why you are forced to pay TV license when you don't use their services? Should I pay simply becaue I own a Television which I paid for and paid tax on? The law needs to be changed in this regard in my opinion.

I will be making a payment today and then I will follow up with you about clearing my ITC record for this judgement you have placed on my name. If this affects my record in any way then I will seek legal assistance.

I have also read on Legal Talk on Facebook that it is ******** for the SABC to send your account to a debt collection agency and placing such judgements on your record.

I will be putting this on Social Media and HelloPeter today so that South Africa can know how we are being ****med.

Thank you all.
