How to actually get a payment holiday
I've been round the ringer now being sent to the app and website and back to the assistant and the virtual phone assistant, please does anyone know where I can go to actually get one? My dog passed last month and my grandmother on NYE so money has been tight recently but I can't seem to actually find where to apply for one.
thanks guys 🙂

Re: How to actually get a payment holiday
@Youan1877 @sorry about your losses
Further to the advice given, I suggest you look at possible opportunities to reduce Sky and other financial out goings particularly those involving long contracts eg I have a rolling month sim card (Smarty) and buy cheap sim free Chinese mobile phones.
Sky TV is IMHO a luxury not a necessity, which is why I subscribe to Sky's Now TV which is cheaper and much shorter contracts.
Now TV Sports + Entertainment + Cinema + Ultra Boost @ £33 pm
2 x FTTP lines: Digi £15 pm 900/900 & Aquiss £36pm 80/20
Connected in dual WAN to 3 x Asus XT9 mesh & 2 x Asus RT-AC58U
65" Samsung S92C OLED TV
6 other streaming TVs
