▪️If you have a Direct Debit set up and the payment fails on the normal payment date Sky will automatically attempt it again 10 calendar days later (so DO NOT be tempted to make a manual payment in this period).

After 10 days, if that second attempt also fails Sky may send a text and/or email notifying you that your payment has failed again and you then have a day or two before they restrict your services.

▪️If you have a Continuous Card payment method set up, if the payment fails Sky send the text/email notification about the failed payment and you usually have at best 2/3 days before being restricted. There is no grace period and 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.

Restrictions are an automated process and we’ve been told Customer Service agents can’t stop it… even if you’re told otherwise.

Sky don’t allow payment plans (except on a legitimately closed account) or a promise to pay on or by a certain date.

@Johnnyroper

Sounds like your services have already been restricted. Is that correct?

You might be Ok if you pay by a direct debit. Firstly because the payment will not be taken in a Sunday as it would be Monday at the earliest when the billing date falls on a weekend and secondly if the payment dies fail Sky will try for a second time 10 days later so no action on your part is needed if you do pay by a direct debit.
