Declined payment

Hi, my payment failed earlier so I paid manually, but now my account shows -£56. Please ensure you won't charge my Direct Debit again for this month. Thank you!

You aren’t actually contacting Sky by posting here as this is a customer ▶️ customer discussion forum where we try to assist other customers.

You needn't have paid manually. Sky will try it again 10 days after the failure. Your Any manual payment has correctly gone as a credit on your Sky account to now be used next month, and then if the planned payment Sky try to take fails your services stand the risk of being restricted.

All you have done is to put a credit on your account as you have not actually paid this bill so Sky will try to take it in 10 days time if your payment is taken as a direct debit and the credit will be used to pay next months bill if you leave it on the account.
