@icemanx23 did you make the payments manually, as if you did that may be the problem. The T&Cs required a direct debit or card payment to be setup on your account which will automatically take the payment on your payment date. When you make a manual payment, even if it is before the billing date, as the automated collection is already scheduled, the manual payment would end up as a credit on your account for future bills instead of paying the current one.

Re: BBilling Dispute
Yes, I do pay by direct debit, but it wasn't taken out. But I don't know why. Please stop trying to use this as an excuse

Re: BBilling Dispute
If a direct debit fails Sky will try again within 10 days so it is only after a second failed attempt will your account be restricted.
You have said that it wasn't taken so have you spoken to your bank about this ?

@icemanx23 have you asked your bank? Looks like they've reversed the payments for some reason.
Note we're customers here, not Sky customer services.
