@annrobtom You will have to call Sky to discuss your options, threatening to cancel your direct debit won't achieve anything.

We are mainly customers on here trying to help other customers and you aren’t directly contacting Sky Customer Services. I'm afraid cancelling a payment method will cause you all sorts of additional problems including late payment fees, services restricted and even debt collectors getting involved.
If you need to contact Sky to potentially amend your subscription then:
From a Sky Talk landline or a Sky mobile dial 150 to call Sky (free) or alternatively use this link:
https://www.sky.com/help/home
UK customers: Scroll down and click on ‘Need more help’ and a dedicated 03** UK number is displayed.
ROI customers: change the flag in the bottom right corner of the link to the ROI flag then scroll down and click on ‘Need more help’ and it provides a dedicated 0818 ROI number.
(The forum doesn’t allow us to type the numbers in full).
Similar to calling other large companies the start will be automated which may also try to send you here to the forum. Stay on the line as long as possible and don’t hang up. If necessary say nothing when the automated system asks you what your call is about as it should then route your call into a queue for the next available agent.

It will not cancel your contract and you will be liable for late payment charges and potential further action.
If you want to cancel then you can to do it properly: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/cancel-sky-tv
