Woman penned heartbreaking letter to court saying: ‘I am so sorry for this’
A grieving mother in Northamptonshire received a criminal conviction for not paying her TV Licence through the UK's Single Justice Procedure (SJP) after the death of her unborn son. She was unaware her license had been cancelled and was prosecuted despite offering proof of payments and explaining her circumstances in a mitigation letter that TV Licensing did not see prior to the conviction. TV Licensing stated they aim to help people stay licensed and prosecution is a last resort, offering opportunities to disclose personal circumstances.
