Sky done do extensions on bills @Lynn1994 so the following applies
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

Re: Extention
@Lynn1994 Sky don't give extensions on bills, if your bill isn;t paiud on the due date and if you pay by direct debit sky will retry payment 10 days later if the 1st one fauils.
If both fails Sky will start to restrict services.

Re: Extention
See the previous posts which tell you that Sky don't give extensions.
If your services are not yet restricted the following process applies to everyone regardless of any personal circumstances …
🔹If you have a Direct Debit set up and the full 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 full 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.
