Sorry for your loss.

To have your services restored you do need to pay the outstanding bill in full and setup your regular payment method again as you will not get your services back until this has been done no matter what your personal circumstances are.

Very sorry for your loss.

Unfortunately the same rules apply to everyone.

If your services have already been restricted that will only be because of a missed payment. Sky won’t reinstate them until you’ve paid what you owe 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 pay.

If your payment is 2+ 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 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

Sky won't discuss your account with you until the entire balance is cleared and your continuous payment method is in place ie: Direct debit etc...

Depending on how late your payment is through may also require next month's payment also
