Charged for Returned Equipment

Tony225 — Tue, 27 May 2025 07:58:15 GMT

We returned some unwanted Sky equipment using supplied packaging and have been billed for (alleged) non-return of this equipment. We have proof of postage alongside emails and letters from Sky saying couriers have this equipment.

One example from email/letter 24/2/25: 'Just a quick note to say thank you for sending back our Sky kit - it's now with our courier and will be with us shortly.'

Another example from email/letter 27/2/25: 'We still haven't received our Sky equipment. To avoid being charged, please return the below to us by 08 April 2025. Sky Q Mini box (Installed) £52.00. If you've recently returned the equipment, then there is nothing for you to do.'

I called helpline before billing date (that would include a £52.00 surcharge) and been told that we would not be charged, however we have been charged.

We would like a full refund ASAP.
