I had to check the sort code on the letter, to find the bank. They will
take it from my TSB debit account. I will ring TV licensing in the
morning.

My car insurers started using the auto-renew a few years ago, without
my consent. I made it clear that if they didn't stop it immediately
they had lost me as a customer. They have never tried it on since.

I'm quite happy paying the regular auto-payments each month for gas,
electric, phone, council tax and water - I have agreed to those and
expect them, but not these large annual sums.
If you sign in (uses licence number, surname and postcode) you should
be able to see, and change, how they think you are paying.
