Outstanding credit on account

[XciteUK86]

I cancelled my broadband in April and have an outstanding credit on my account. I'm unable to ring Sky to get this refunded, how else can this be arranged? I'm not sure why this isn't done automatically?

It it usually done automatically @XciteUK86 

Ideally refunds after cancelling should take about 6 weeks from your last day of connection however posts on here do suggest it’s taking longer.

We can potentially help you get it refunded within 3-5 working days via staff from the Community Messaging Team on here. Let us know on this thread if you want to do that.

Before we can escalate it to Sky please confirm in your reply if the payment method is still active.

If you’ve already cancelled your payment method Sky can reinstate it, or get a back office team to raise a cheque to post to you but that obviously takes a lot longer.

Thanks for the fast reply! Yes, if you could escalate it to the team, I'd really appreciate it. The payment method is still showing as active in my banking app so we should be all good. Thanks again!

@XciteUK86 
I’ve escalated your post to Sky and staff from their Community Messaging Team should make contact with you later.

Look out for a post on this thread from one of the team inviting you to a private chat and then you should see a blue/red speech bubble at the bottom of your forum page. You’ll have 48 hours to click on it and start the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to a chat reply within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread periodically.
