Hi I'm struggling to manage my bill! I'm only on Jobseeker's Allowance! And with the cost of living it's really hard! Is there anyway I could get help to reduce my bill?
kind Regards Leah.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Leahsmith there is no leeway from the following
If you have a continuous payment method setup (direct debit or card) and first attempt fails Sky will automatically retry 10 calendar days later (so don't make a manual payment unless Sky requests you too) if that second attempt fails an automatic process of restrictions will kick in (which we've been told can't be overriden by sky cs agents) starting with tv followed a few days later by broadband if sky is your isp
if restrictions are imposed they won't be lifted until the outstanding payment is paid in full and a new continuous payment method is setup
Note: if you don’t have a continuous payment setup the 10 day grace period does not apply and therefore unless full payment due is showing as credit on your account by payment due date restrictions will be applied almost instantly
also note sky don’t do payment plans or promises to pay on active accounts I’m afraid
to reduce bills you would need to call sky and negotiate a lower price but in return you will need to commit to a new minimum term

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreIf you're out of contract you could call Sky and negotiate a new discount which will come with the obligation of a new 18 month deal. If you are still in a minimum term deal you may not be able to cancel/reduce. Otherwise the billing process is as set out by @SKY1992bf and I'm afraid is pretty much what you've been told in similar posts last year.
