Evening,
Back in December I received a package from sky containing equipment, I've never been a sky account holder and the household is with virgin media and has been for last 20+ years.
I contacted sky to say I've received this in error. I was told to send back the items... broadband box and TV box that was sent and they would pass onto investigations team. I even had an sky engineer turn up to install... for last 3 months had nothing I just presumed someone used my details. ( they used an old mobile number haven't used in 10 years and very old bank details)
and now last week I've received a Debt collection letter for £29 for sky glass... which never even arrived.
I've tried emailing and live chat with no help
... they keep saying they tried to call me... obviously on the old mobile number or the email the scammer used to setup. All I've got is 1 letter actually from sky stating I owe £29 and now 2 ccs collection letters by post.
Can anyone help please?

I've contacted the debt collection agency,
I presume sky will have to close it down, as last contacted I had with them was to say it was being passed onto investigations team.... I thought they had sorted it.. now I supposedly have sky glass services....

You can lodge a complaint through sky's website https://www.sky.com/help/articles/how-to-make-a-complaint-roi#message-us-only
But you need to come through with Ann agreement with the debt collectors separately while sky handle the complaints, to prevent the debt collectors sending sheriffs to enforce collection on the debt.
