Sky tried to take 317 from my account today and I am trying to understand why I am sure I'm caught up that is shocking to be fair I want to lower my package

@Nathan971  have you checked your online bill to see what the amount is for

We're other customers here, so we don't know either.

Check your online billing - if you have items on credit then full payment could be requested if you have defaulted on monthyl payments for example.

To cancel all your TV subscription, if you’re out of contract you’ll need to give Sky the required 31 days notice. The latest T’s and C’s explicitly state you can’t cancel when still in a minimum term deal unless Sky agree. If they agree you’ll have to pay the remainder of your discounted term.

Select ‘Need more help’ at the bottom of the following link which will lead to contact details.
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/cancel-sky-tv#contact-leave
(Make sure the flag in the bottom right corner is the correct one ie; UK or ROI).
UK customer ~ The link may include an email link and also a Message Us option (which is normally available between 9am and 7.30pm).
ROI customer ~ it’s only by calling Sky Ireland or writing in.

If you are cancelling Sky Q, return packaging will be sent out near the end of your notice period. Obtain proof of posting and keep it safe and indefinitely.

So apparently I can't cancel my tv package because I'm contacted which I never knew also I've been with sky for 6 years and they was charging me 193 a month so I have decided to contact my bank and cancel the direct debit I will be getting my broadband from else where

If you are within a minimum term contract then you cannot cancel.  Cancelling your Direct Debit won't change this fact.  If you fail then pay then recovery actions will commence and missed payments advised to credit agencies.

You are welcome to ignore this advice.

The advice from @PandJ2020 is correct. I'm afraid to say that there are a few posts on here from customers who think cancelling the payment method is the way forward. It's definitely not. Skys services will be restricted, you will incur late payment fees, you won't be able to speak to Sky, you'll probably be referred to a credit recovery company and you still won't have cancelled.
