Charged for returned equipment

Hi

I was sent a new Sky Q hub in November 2022. I returned my old hub to Sky on 3 December 2022. I have my proof of posting. 
I have now received a text from Sky telling me they are charging me £50 for not returning the equipment!! This is outrageous! 
I have tried to speak to someone at Sky, but that is not possible as I can't get past the useless automated service. 
How can I resolve this please?

Thanks.

@Lost77 

As you have retained your proof of posting I’ve escalated your post to Sky and the Escalation Team may get in touch with you later.

Look out for an email and also a blue/red speech bubble at the bottom of your forum page. Once that speech bubble appears you only have 48 hours to join the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to each chat reply from Sky within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread regularly.

You need to make sure that your email/private message notifications are switched to ‘on’ to avoid missing the alerts.

If you are using Safari also make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the chat bubble. If you have trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Chrome or Firefox.
