Sky don't normally take payments twice, did you make a manual payment for any reason?

If so this isn't needed and won't stop a scheduled recurring payment as you've discovered.

You should never make any manual payments unless asked to buy Sky.

To get you some help with this your post has been escalated to the Sky Messaging team.

Keep an eye out for an invite or blue chat bubble.

When the blue bubble does appear you have 48 hours to respond or it will be automatically closed.

Be reassured the email & message is from Sky and your details are safe and secure.
If you are using Safari please make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the blue bubble. If you are having trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Firefox, Chrome etc.

I would also recommend that if not already on, that you turn email/private message notifications on to avoid missing any alerts

It said online it was due and to pay so I paid it in the morning  they took it out the same evening

Is your bill usually Sid by a direct debit because should it fail then Sky will try again 10 days later.

Do you see a credit on your account now and if so do you want this refunded or are you happy to leave it there as it should be used to pay your next bill ?

Would like it refunded as can't afford to pay it twice
