https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Account-Billing/My-bill/m-p/5110565#M270357 <P>Hi. So, I've pre paid my bill and the balance says £10 in credit but its stating that my scheduled bill hasn't been received even though it's been prepaid. Surely sky would take that prepayment to cover the bill. It's says on my banking app that £10 was paid to sky specifically for the bill.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So why is it still stating that I need to pay when ive already paid I?!?!</P> Wed, 08 Oct 2025 18:29:34 GMT Staceypanda1993 2025-10-08T18:29:34Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Account-Billing/My-bill/m-p/5110565#M270357 <P>Hi.

The advice is to never make a manual payment if you have a DD or continuous payment card set up.</P> Wed, 08 Oct 2025 18:33:38 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Account-Billing/My-bill/m-p/5110577#M270358 MightyQuinn 2025-10-08T18:33:38Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Account-Billing/My-bill/m-p/5110581#M270359 <P>This has happened&nbsp;as you have made a manual payment when there is no need to as Sky will take the bill automatically from you each month via whatever payment method you have setup on your account so this will still happen probably over the coming days if you pay by a direct debit. The £10 credit will be used against your next bill so again there is no need to manual pay it yourself as it will be taken&nbsp;on your billing date or on the Monday should that fall on a weekend.</P> Wed, 08 Oct 2025 18:34:35 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Account-Billing/My-bill/m-p/5110581#M270359 caesarome 2025-10-08T18:34:35Z
