@NeilWat 

Which services did you cancel?

How did you cancel them?

Did you receive an email from Sky acknowledging the cancellation (s)?

@NeilWat If you used OTS then that only cancels broadband , it doesn't cover tv services which is the customer's responsibility to cancel by giving 31 days notice to sky

 

Your not talking directly with Sky, this is a customer helps customer forum only with no account access,you can’t cancel/downgrade online I’m afraid

if you wish to cancel/downgrade choose an option on the link below (which includes a message service - not available in ROI) (just click on yes I need more help)

https://www.sky.com/help/articles/cancel-sky-tv#M1014

Note that if your within a minimum term (most Sky contracts have a minimum term of 18/24 months) for the service you wish to cancel you may not be able to

Also note you have to give the required relevant notice to cancel which is 31 days for tv and 14 days for broadband


Additional information on Broadband: If you are changing to Virgin or cancelling broadband totally you'll have to contact Sky This link should help

https://www.sky.com/help/articles/cancel-sky-broadband#M1014


If you are changing to another ISP who uses the Openreach infrastructure then join up with them and they should contact Sky on your behalf

If in ROI make sure the flag in bottom right hand corner is set to ROI and refresh the page before selecting an option

for reference cancellations are only confirmed once you have written email confirmation, also remember that if you are cancelling sky q or stream (where stream was ordered on or after 23/02/23) completely all equipment will need returning so make sure when sending back you obtain and keep very safe and indefinitely proof of postage, also note that billing continues as normal right upto and including last day of notice period and must be paid, any overpayment for days beyond termination date will be refunded within six weeks of termination date or you can call sky and they will refund within 3-5 working days once the credit is showing on your sky account

apparently best times to call are first thing in the morning 7am or last thing at night 9pm

Was meant to be cancelled by the new provider but only Broadband was cancelled, still being billed for TV etc

@NeilWat see my reply above for the reason why you are still being charged for tv

@NeilWat 

Then you need to contact Sky and give your 31 days notice. 

edit: posts crossed. Appears you've now contacted Sky to cancel.

If your new provider told you they would cancel your TV with Sky then you may have a valid complaint against them...  (As already noted, only broadband can be 'switched' automatically)
