The normal procedure is if you have a continuous payment set up (Direct Debit or Card) and it fails on the normal due date, Sky will try again 10 calendar days later. If that also fails an automated process starts whereby your services start being restricted. Skys Customer Service agents can’t stop that automated process.

If you don’t have a continuous payment setup and you don’t pay by the due date your services are likely to be restricted much quicker.

Very likely, yes, I'm afraid.

To get your services back after they have been restricted as well as paying the bill you would also need to setup the payment method on your account again.
