Credit balance

[Ava-Maex]

Hi everyone, I paid my bill early- which went into credit balance. My bill was due today and they are now trying to take the money out of my bank account when it's in credit balance. Even when I go to make a payment it says outstanding payment is £0.00. I also cannot contact sky for some reason. Just wondering if anyone knows if they will take the credit balance? 
Thanks.

Paying your bill early can cause issues like this as there is no need to do this. The bill will still be taken from your account (it doesn't happens at weekends) possibly tomorrow. If you leave the credit in place it should be used to pay your next bill or if you prefer you can call Sky tomorrow to ask them to refund it to you which should take no more than 5 working days.

Hiya, thank you so much, for some reason I can't contact sky unless I have a phone with them? Do you know why this is or how to contact them regarding a refund?

That's incorrect. 

The current methods for contacting Sky are below and depending on your reason for making contact some methods will be more appropriate than others……

🟦 📞 Customer Services by dialling 150 (free) from either a Sky mobile or a Sky Talk landline. The forum doesn’t allow the display of other numbers. Other official numbers to Sky from the UK are 03 numbers which are normally inclusive from non Sky phones.

All calls will start automated which may offer you the online help route or try to send you here to the forum. Stay on the line as long as possible and saying nothing when asked the reason for the call sometimes helps being put in the queue for an agent.

🟦 Sky Assistant 💬 should also be available via

for most service issues and gives you 24/7 help and a quick response. It should provide you with multiple choice options based on your problem and will provide troubleshooting steps to fix any service issues.

🟦 Social Media You can also get in touch via the messaging services on: Facebook, Instagram, or X (links at the bottom of the forum page).
