Did you make a manual payment?

@GeoffreyMorgan

It does sound like you've made an unnecessary manual payment. If you have a continuous payment method set up you should never need to make a manual payment. A credit will appear on your account for the amount you have overpaid. This should automatically be used to pay your next bill so on that bill date no/less money should be taken from your account. I would recommend not making manual payments unless requested to by Sky.

However, if you prefer, once your extra payment is showing as a credit we can perhaps get you some help in getting it refunded (within the standard 3-5 working days) through the Messaging Team. Let us know on this thread if you want to do that having confirmed it’s showing as a credit.

So I haven't got a direct debit setup so I pay it manually so they have committed fraud and theft by taking money off my card because they should not be saving my details

@GeoffreyMorgan

Your T's and C's state you should have a continuous payment method set up therefore Sky are within their rights to take payments from method's previously used. There's no fraud or Theft.

You've agreed to it.

This is of your doing.

You can either leave the balance there against next month's bill or once the credit shows request a refund (which takes 3-5 working days).
