Sky Tv restricted

I've had my TV restricted due to my bill, does anyone know if I could have it removed or do I need to pay the amount in full only reason I'm asking is I don't have the funds until next week and I'm scared they completely cut me off I've been trying to source their online chat and speak to someone but I keep getting back to the start

Sky won’t reinstate restricted services 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.

Restrictions of services are because of a missed payment, are automatically applied 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.

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) non payment can see the credit agreement cancelled at which point the full amount becomes due in one payment.

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

You need to pay it in full and set up again your monthly payment method.

As well as paying what you owed have you also setup your payment method again as this will also need doing if you are yet to do this, once you have done this you are waiting on the banks to clear this payment you made before your service will be restored.
