@Hayley19841
If your services are already restricted that will only be because of a missed payment. Sky won’t reinstate them until you’ve paid what you owe (regardless of any individual circumstances) and you’ve also set up a new continuous payment method.

Until you’ve done this all calls to Sky will only prompt you to pay.

If your payment is two weeks or more 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 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

And this is why I will be terminating my agreement. People have hardship at times. Circumstances are unpredictable. Sky are only interested in the bottom line.

@JustWilliams While I agree that people's circumstances can and do indeed change, it's entirely unrealistic to expect a company to allow you to continue using a service if you are not paying for it. Suspending services stops a bigger debt from being accrued.

@JustWilliams

At the end of the day that's what they're in business for. Your discount for example will be based on you fulfilling the full 24 month period, which is why early termination fees are applied if you want to leave early, and in the case of a TV subscription Sky allow you to cancel.
