Missed payment

Garydarby1984 — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:39:24 GMT

Hi, I have missed my latest payment, as I wasn't paid correct from work, but they cannot pay me properly until Friday 20th, I've been trying to contact someone to setup a promise to pay for that date but when I call, it says I need to make a payment before I can speak to an agent and the online chat thing is useless

How can I speak to a human being to setup a promise to pay for next Friday????

Sky has never done promises to pay so if your bill is usually paid by a direct debit and this fails you do not need to do anything as Sky will try again in around 10 days time. If you pay by a card and you find your services restricted then you will have to pay the bill in full and set the card payment up again before your services will be restored.

That suggests your services are already restricted.

Restrictions to services occur due to missed payments, they are automatically applied and agents cannot override the process, even if you’re told otherwise.

Sky won’t reinstate restricted services until the arrears have been paid and you’ve also set up a new continuous payment method. Until then any calls to Sky will only prompt you to pay.

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

As above, you can't.
