Extend bill

[Samanthaish]

Hello i need my bill extended I wa only able to pay £30 off my bill. And I don't want to be cut off and I don't want the direct debit to take money from my account as I'm in need of the money I've got as I don't have a lot of money and my next payment is 30th of July

@Samanthaish You need to ring Sky asap and explain the situation. They may be able to allow you to make a partial payment to keep your service active. It depends which service you are talking about though (TV, Broadband or Mobile?).

If your services are not yet restricted the following process applies…

🔹If you have a Direct Debit set up and the payment fails on the normal payment date Sky will automatically attempt it again 10 calendar days later (so DO NOT be tempted to make a manual payment in this period).

After 10 days, if that second attempt also fails Sky may send a text and/or email notifying you that your payment has failed again and you then have a day or two at best before they restrict your services.

🔹If you have a Continuous Card payment method set up, if the payment fails Sky send the text/email notification about the failed payment and you usually have at best 2/3 days before being restricted. There is no grace period and I believe only 1 attempt is made for a card payment, so if this has failed, you will need to pay manually and then reset the payment method for next month.

Restrictions are an automated process and we’ve been told Customer Service agents can’t stop it… even if you’re told otherwise on the phone. Sky don’t allow payment plans (except on a legitimately closed account) or a promise to pay on or by a certain date.
