Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@Sarah+J89 unless you can get through on a number not linked to your account or by putting 141 before sky's number
there isn't much you can do other than trying to contact them via twitter or facebook
even if you get through there probably isn't much they will be able to do as skys system is automated and can't be overridden as far as we know
providing you pay and setup a new continuous payment method inside 56 days of the first unpaid bill due date you should be ok

Hi I have recently had my account restricted due to no-payment.
How recently was this, as Sky can cancel an account is no payment has been received on it for a period of 56 days.

I don't have social media at all so can't contact them that way.
It will be within one calendar month. Will that prevent further action?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreIf you are planning in paying in a few days at the very least once you have done this and setup a payment method again it should then let you get through to Sky which you will need to do about those cancellation emails.

You should be ok, but just to warn you, you're likely to have to pay next month's bill in advance, too

The direct debit has not been cancelled and on the app its showing that the last bill has been added on to next months bill. I have no issue paying both as long as the account isn't going to be cancelled before then.
Will I still need to contact customer services once the balance is cleared?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreSo to be clear, a payment has been missed and it has been added to your next bill, so where does your account restriction come in, are your services restricted now because if they are it is odd they have done this will moving the bill to next months ?

It says on my sky app that the bill for next month includes the amount missed from last month. The services have been restricted for nearly 2 weeks.

Just to show what I mean if I'm not making sense.
Also the bill says paid on 7th June which it hasn't actually come out yet.
If I go onto a sky channel it says I need to upgrade and still have no WiFi.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreSky does sometimes allow a bill to be carried over and added to the next one which they have done but it is odd that they have also suspended your services from the non payment of it. You could get your services back by paying it and seting your payment method again but doing so will probably not stop the double amount being taken on your next bill.

I'll wait until the 7th and see what happens. I was just more concerned that they would cancel my subscription altogether and start adding charges etc.
Thank you for all the help. It's a shame I couldn't have just been able to contact customer services so my account wasn't at risk of being cancelled.
