There is no grace period and I believe only 1 attempt is made for a card payment, so if this has failed, you will need to pay manually and then reset the payment method for next month. <BR /><BR /><STRONG>Restrictions are an automated process and we’ve been told Customer Service agents can’t stop it (even if you’re told otherwise on the phone). Sky don’t allow payment plans (except on a legitimately closed account) or a promise to pay on or by a certain date. </STRONG> <BR /><BR />These links may also provide some advice <BR /><A href="https://www.sky.com/help/articles/cost-of-living-support" target="_blank">https://www.sky.com/help/articles/cost-of-living-support</A> <BR /><BR /><A href="https://www.sky.com/help/articles/support-with-financial-difficulty" target="_blank">https://www.sky.com/help/articles/support-with-financial-difficulty</A><BR /><BR />If you are behind with Stream or Glass payments there is further information on this link:<BR /><A href="https://www.sky.com/help/articles/missed-payments-sky-glass" target="_blank">https://www.sky.com/help/articles/missed-payments-sky-glass</A></P> Sat, 28 Mar 2026 17:29:54 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Account-Billing/Extra-time-to-pay-my-bill/m-p/5241281#M286905 Daniel0210 2026-03-28T17:29:54Z
