Re: Payment holiday
See this link on the payment holiday scheme. To be honest I'm not sure if it can be applied if you're already in arrears
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-payment-holiday
▪️
If your services have already been restricted any calls made to Sky will only prompt you to pay.
Sky won’t reinstate services until you’ve paid what is owed and set up a new continuous payment method. If your payment is two or more weeks overdue you will have to pay the next bill as well. It’s worth noting that it you’re in arrears for 56+ days Sky can fully terminate your subscription.
If you can’t pay what you owe in one go you can pay what you want, but until the bill is fully paid Sky will not normally reinstate your services. On rare occasions they will allow you to carry over up to £25 to the next month but that is based on your previous payment history. Sky don't allow payment plans on overdue live accounts, nor will they consider promises to pay on or by a certain date.
Once your full payment has cleared and is in Sky’s account your services should be reinstated, but this may not be instant. Also, any payment you make over a weekend or on a Bank Holiday won’t be processed until the following week.
You should be able to pay the bill and set up your direct debit via the MySky app or online using this link
https://www.sky.com/manage/bill/
Its also worth mentioning that you can’t cancel whilst restricted.
Once you’ve done the above you’ll be able to call Sky if you still need to speak to an agent.

Re: Payment holiday
I have already added to the reply above. Are your services restricted? If they are then you won't be able to speak with Sky as detailed above.

Then presumably you're not in arrears with your Sky bill so give Sky a call. If you’re not already aware this is a customer helps customer forum and you aren’t contacting Sky Customer Services on here.
