NBC complaint: CHARGES FOR 3 TV’S DO NOT HAVE

I received an invoice from NBC to pay 3 TV licences for annual licenc period 1 October 2020 to September 2020.

I sent email informing that I do not have, nor ever had 3 TV’s. I also informed that I have been living in New Zealand and Australia from 2011 to 2019, when I returned. I also informed that the very old Sansui TV I had shortly before I departed January 2011 to Australia, was not working properly and I was going to dump it. But my maid asked to have it as she wanted to try and get it repaired. I thus gave it to her.

On my return to Namibia 2019, I bought a TV from Game on 3 May 2019. It was faulty. Game took it back the next day, and replaced it on 22 May 2019. ONE TV only. I therefore only have one TV and not 3. The Head of the TV Licence department is badgering me and refusing to accept my notification to her and correct the NBC records.

I find this type of badgering and threats from NBC upon an elderly pensioner of 75, who has been honest with them and is willing to pay for TV licence, unacceptable. There are hundreds of Namibian watching TV that never pay, and when I as an honest person try to declare the situation, I get badgered and threatened.

I have stated that the NBC inspector is welcome to come to my small apartment and I will prove to him I have only one (1) TV and show the Game invoice when I bought it and when they took the faulty one away, and and replaced it on 22 May 2019. I have both Australian and New Zealand permanent residency and can proof this with my Passport.

I think that NBC is wrong to question my integrity and honesty refusing to acknowledge what I have informed them, and correct their records to indicating oonly 1 TV owned by me. It is robbery of my pensioner minimum inome to try and bleed me financially for payment of 2 other TV’s that Ihat I have not possessed nor have I been in Namibia to use or watch any TV. I sold my property and left the country. I sold all my furniture with the property when I left as well.
