Overpaid

RhiannonBoylan — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 19:30:53 GMT

Hi, I know there's been other posts about having overpaid but they all say that they raised it with someone else but I can't figure out how to raise it. I didn’t mean to overpay and would like it refunded rather than kept as credit, can anyone help?

@RhiannonBoylan
The T's and C's you’ve agreed to state you should have a direct debit or continuous card payment method set up meaning you don’t need to make a manual payment unless your services have been restricted.

Once Sky have processed the planned payment they are expecting, a credit should appear on your Sky account for the amount you have overpaid. This credit should automatically be used to pay your next months bill so on that bill date no/less money should be taken from your account. I would suggest NOT making any manual payments unless requested to by Sky.

If you prefer, once your extra payment is showing as a credit, we can perhaps get you some help in getting it refunded (within the standard 3-5 WORKING days) through staff from the Community Messaging Team on here. Let us know on this thread if you want to do that but please confirm it’s currently showing as a credit.

@RhiannonBoylan
We need to wait at least 10 minutes from your original post before we can escalate your issue to Sky so I’ll escalate it at that point and staff from their Community Messaging Team should contact you (but may be tomorrow now).

Look out for a post on this thread from one of the team inviting you to a private chat and then you should see a blue/red speech bubble at the bottom of your forum page. You’ll have 48 hours to click on it and start the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to a chat reply within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread periodically.

Please be aware conversations automatically close if there is no response within 48 hours.
