That only results from a missed payment.

Sky won’t reinstate services until you’ve paid what they believe you owe (regardless of any individual circumstances) and you’ve also set up a new continuous payment method.

Until you’ve done this any calls to Sky will only prompt you to make a full payment.

If your payment is two or more weeks overdue you will have to pay the next bill as well and if you’re in arrears for 56+ days Sky can fully terminate your subscription (but you’ll still owe the arrears). If this is part of a credit agreement purchase (mobile or Sky Glass for example) non payment can see the credit agreement cancelled at which point the full amount becomes due in one payment .

Restrictions of services are automatic and are only applied due to a missed payment/s. Skys agents can’t override the process even if you’re told otherwise. Sky don't allow payment plans on overdue live accounts, nor will they consider promises to pay on or by a certain date.

Once your full payment has cleared and is in Sky’s account your services should be reinstated, but this may not be instant. Any payment you make over a weekend or on a Bank Holiday won’t be processed until the following week.

You should be able to pay the bill and set up your direct debit via the MySky app or online using this link

If the bill was due within 14 days of making the change then it doesn't take effect until the following month.

Also, the bill amount will change - possibly higher or lower depending on the timing.

@Gazza49

Changing your billing date shouldnt usually mean a missed payment because if you change it to close to your billing date then it would apply from the following month so has a bill not be paid ?

As I've already stated above…
Skys agents can’t override the process even if you’re told otherwise.
