"Your services are currently being restricted" but I have no payments outstanding

mjay56 — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 01:16:03 GMT

When I am logged into my account, I cannot access any products.

To replicate this:

1. Log into my account.
2. Select Mobile across the top
3. Choose Phones
4. Choose any phone
5. I am sent here: https://www.sky.com/shop/mobile/error?code=NO_DEBT_AMOUNT

It states:

Your services are currently being restricted

There is an outstanding action on your account which is resulting in your services being restricted. Find out how to remove these restrictions.

I click the blue button that says "Reinstate my services" and it sends me to https://www.sky.com/bill/tv-broadband-talk/already-restored

It says:

Your service is up and running

There is an option to click "View bill".

I click that and it shows me my most recent bill and all is up to date.

I have checked my account and I do not owe any money to sky.

Also, If I try to view Broadband deals here - https://www.sky.com/broadband/buy/?sc=broadband-ec-customer&irct=broadband-discovery-sticky-customer

It sends me to a page saying:

"Before you continue with your order, it looks like you've got a bill outstanding."

I am 100% certain there are no outstanding bills.

@mjay56 it's worth a try but try clearing your cookies or use a different Internet browser. If your sure payments are up to date and your device has not been restricted, then if all else fails you might need to give sky a call on 150.

I have exactly the same issue, on different browsers and devices. Cookies cleared, app completely uninstalled and reinstalled, and payments are up to date. All services are running, but I cannot upgrade my phone nor renew my tv package. Reported a few times with no meaningful response.

I have had the EXACT same issue for the past 5 months., Called 3 times to get told its sorted, for nothing to happen, waited to upgrade my phone next week and still cant!! I dont know how sky cannot fix something they did themselves.

I have the same issue - pretty wild I can't even browse around looking at phones, just keeps saying there's an outstanding action yet takes me to my most recent bill which was paid a week ago on time as always, and shows an outstanding balance of £0.

I also noticed 2 other things:

1. I'm eligible for a phone swap, yet the app and site still says I'm not, so I can't go anywhere with that

2. Using the app I get put into a queue - just to look at my own account which is ludicrous. I'm not queing to purchase a brand new phone that's been released or anything, literally just to get to my mobile bill I am put into a queue.

Sort it out, Sky!

@mjay56 what was the outcome of the private chat with Sky?

This was the last response I received from Sky back in July...

"Hi, it`s Sky!

Kindly note that I am still waiting on a confirmation from the Backoffice on the issue you have reported. I am monitoring and will update you, once I have any news. NoReply"

Might be best to give Sky a call?

I have had this for months and today finally someone made sense on the phone. So I had an outstanding balance on my market place for paramount plus, which was £12.

This is apparently the issue so I'd advice looking on your market place subscriptions and make sure there are none unpaid
