Re: My direct debit keeps trying to come out
It sounds like you've made an unnecessary manual payment.
The T's and C's state you should have a direct debit or continuous card payment method set up. You therefore never need to make a manual payment. Once Sky have processed the planned payment they are expecting, a credit should appear on your Sky account for the amount you have overpaid.
This credit should automatically be used to pay your next months bill so on that bill date no/less money should be taken from your account. I would suggest NOT making any manual payments unless requested to by Sky.
If you prefer, once your extra payment is showing as a credit, contact Sky who can arrange a refund within the standard 3-5 working days.
Either call, use Sky Assistant or perhaps use social media to initially make contact.

So my bill was due ive topped up the balance to pay the bill
That is where you went wrong @Jakew as you do not need to do this as Sky will take it automatically from you each month.
