I can not pay my bill atm and have found out today that I am lightly to have surgery. I have been unable to work since the start of April 2023. Is there someone I can speak to over the phone ? They have already restricted my services.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Halfpintkaren If your account is restricted then unless you can get through via a number not linked to your account or by putting 141 before sky’s number then unfortunately you will need to do one of the following in order to remove the restrictions as sky won’t take your call until you do
1. Pay the outstanding balance in full (which you can do here https://www.sky.com/myaccount/bill/pay#M1014) and setup a new continuous payment method (which you can do here https://www.sky.com/myaccount/bill/change-payment-method#M1014) (services won’t be restored until the payment has cleared, so if payment is/was made on a weekend or bank holiday then it’s unlikely that payment will clear and services are restored until the next available working day)
Or
2. Pay all bar £25 (use the link posted above)(the unpaid £25 will be added to the next bill) and setup a new continuous payment method (use the link posted above) (services won’t be restored until the payment has cleared, so if payment is/was made on a weekend or bank holiday then it’s unlikely that payment will clear and services are restored until the next available working day)
Two important points about option 2
1. There is no guarantee that it will work as it depends on payment history
2. It is not applicable to mobile accounts
If your more than two weeks late in paying sky will insist on you paying next months bill in advance as well before restoring services
It is also important to note that sky don’t do payment plans I’m afraid (except on a legitimately closed account)
If you disagree with the billed amount it’s advised to pay it first to get service restored then you will be able to contact sky to dispute it and should sky agree an error has been made they will refund any overpayment
important note: if no payment is made within 56 days of payment due date of the last unpaid bill, Sky could cancel your account automatically.

My last bill was a whopping £179 it's now up to £249. I already had talks with sky to get the payments down but no help was offered on £179 outstanding. Now I'm stuck !!

I can't afford to pay that amount in one go

Of course , I am happy for any suggestions at this point. I have reset my direct debit for August 2023 but will they try and take that money owed on the 1st of July??

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreIt's not what you'll want to hear but unfortunately if payment isn't forthcoming Sky are likely to involve a debt collection agency which will cause you further problems.

Very depressing when a multi-million pound company can't help you out as a customer of over 10 years. I shall probably look forward to the debt collectors coming then !!
