Re: Paid bill and direct debit still due

Got through surprisingly quickly to Sky and the customer service person told me to cancel the direct debit to stop the amount coming out. 

They told me that I don't really need to set up another direct debit instruction as I've been paying it manually without issue for over a year.

Well that is contrary to the terms and conditions you agreed to so I'd be very wary of doing that.

I would say that is pretty poor advice because should you do that and the payment is taken and Sky will try again 10 days later you could find your services are suspended.

Re: Paid bill and direct debit still due

Seeing as my account would be at zero balance with nothing owed it would be pretty poor of them to suspend my services.

 

In fact I think it would be quite funny if they did suddenly send me an email warning me that if I didn't pay zero then they would suspend my broadband. 

 

I assume they record all calls anyway 🙂

@Chris11521  It's quite common on here that we hear of customers receiving the information they want to hear from cs agents rather than the actual truth of the matter 

 

and we end up having to give the correct advice 

 

I concur with both @caesarome and @Daniel0210  that the advice given to you in this instance is totally inaccurate
