I think this is what you are looking for..

I still get to this page!
https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/pay-for-your-tv-licence/index.app

on which there is nothing about anything except paying!

I had a look earlier, and yes you're right Alie - there's no option on the page it directs you to (to convert to a short-term licence) to actually do so!

this page ?

Ah I see what you mean.. I'm not sure where you go then sorry...

When you reach 75 you apply for the free licence, they issue it and refund the extra money you paid when you bought your regular tv licence.

Or you could use this page

this answers it. I think Click on third answer down.

'Your session has expired'!

My third answer is about a Company Group Licence...this is getting a bit surreal......

www.tvlicensing.co.uk/faqs/FAQ56

This at least gives you a phone number to call - and it does confirm what jingl said, that you'll get a refund of any overpaid licence fee once your free licence is issued when you reach 75.

Phew....

I have now found this, which may be useful for others here!:

What if I have already paid for a full year's TV Licence but am due to turn 75 before it expires?
Don't worry. We can convert your licence to a Short Term TV Licence, which will cover you until you qualify for a free Over 75 licence. If you have made any overpayments, we will send you a refund once your application is complete and your free Over 75 TV Licence has been issued.
To convert your licence to a Short Term TV Licence, please call 0300 790 6165 with the following information to hand:
Your name and address.
Your date of birth.
Your National Insurance number.
Your current TV Licence number.
Alternatively you can complete the online renewal form and we will send you a refund when we issue your free over 75 licence.

Except of course, that I obviously don't get the refund until NEXT YEAR!

This is a con. People fall into the trap I did, because there is no option on that page, - which means they pay the full amount and BT keeps the extra until next year.

Yes Ana thanks... I still think it's deliberate!

We got the refund very quickly. Only a month or two. You get a letter to say you don't have to pay it also.

Brenda did you get it after paying the full amount?

Hi AlieOxon,
Here I am reproducing the solution to your problem:-
"You can usually request a refund for every three months left on your license. This means you could be refunded for three, six or nine months. To request a refund,you have to fill online refund form".
If you are not satisfied with the above solution, you can also visit TV license customer service here qwikfix.co.uk/tv-licence-contact-number/
