How to talk to someone instead of a robot
I really need to talk to someone about my account as its been restricted due to missed payments, I only have broadband that I knew off but looking on my bill I have a landline that I didn't know or ever used, sky glass, sky TV. So £92 on sky broadband and talk, then £86 for sky glass TV. I've been paying £42 a month for broadband I thought but looking on my account I see all these others
I'm under the mental health and classed as vulnerable, my partner is disabled, I have 3 children that needs Internet for school work, I also claim universal credit due to my mental health issues so should be on a social tariff, I struggle to even talk on the phone with anyone but then get a robot that doesn't help or give me an option to press for my query. My social life /communication is through the Internet, I have no life as it it cause of servere anxiety.this is just a constant worry cause I don't like debt. It stress me out and make my health worse
Please can anyone point me in the right direction for this matter, I'd be very grateful 🙏

Re: How to talk to someone instead of a robot
@Kerry163 You won't be able to speak to anyone until you pay what you owe in full and setup a new continuous payment method
this applies to all customers regardless of circumstances
further you may want to register your account with the accessibility team as they may be able to provide further assistance

Re: How to talk to someone instead of a robot
@Katherine1x Is It possible a former partner or family member has used your details to get a Glass TV?

Re: How to talk to someone instead of a robot
@Katherine1x Possibly. I would ring Sky straight away to find out what's going on and cancel anything if you're still in the 31 day cooling off period.

Re: How to talk to someone instead of a robot
@Katherine1x You say you're a new customer so what services/products did you order?
note streaming tv services (sky glass / stream) are chargeable 21 days after delivery whether there's a working connection or not

Re: How to talk to someone instead of a robot
As @SKY1992bf has sad billing for Sky Stream can start before the service has been activated so is it Sky Stream that you have ordered ?

Re: my landline doesn't work, BT Outreach said they've fixed today but it is still down
O wow I ordered for the first time broadband and TV only ever had Freeview and internet on my prepaid mobile phone I was supposed to be connected today with internet and TV, but they haven't even came out to do anything but want to charge me tomorrow? When I order it nearly a month ago? Sky was supposed to ring me bk today just got a message that you can't reply to saying sorry still looking into what's going on? I'm going on? And for some reason I've got a sky glass account when I don't have a sky glass TV and never heard of it before??? I'm going to cancel my direct debit today.. they have broken the contract with me. Citizen advice told me to do it.

Re: How to talk to someone instead of a robot
Yeah sky streaming and broadband have not been connected but still want to charge me? How can they charge you for a service you are not receiving?

@Katherine1x Sky Stream is self install. Have you received your streaming Puck?
