Tv licence

    My friend got a summons to appear in court over not paying his tv licence. He has been on back to education, and was un-able to pay his tv licence, he didn't realise that it could be paid in instalments, until now.

    Has anyone been in this situation before? What can he expect when he goes to court. If he pays the tv licence now, can he get out of going to court. I am not looking for Legal advise, I am just looking to see if anyone has been in this situation before, and would be able to guide him.

    Thanks for any guidance, or past experiences.

    Did you really think reposting this after a mod locked it and explained why was a good idea?

    Just tell him to buy licence and bring it with him to court. Tell judge that at time of offence he wasn't working but was slowly saving for it and has now purchased one.

    If it's 1st time offence the judge will ask the prosecution if they wish to proceed and normally they don't.

    Well the Mod said that one could not get legal advise, so I reposted the thread stating that I was not looking for legal advice, but was looking to see if anyone had been in this situation before, and how did it go.

    Thanks for that. Thats what he was thinking about doing, but he was wondering would he be listened to.
