Payment taken twice

[Kezzy01204]

Hi I went in my

app and it told me my

bill was due to be taken on the 16th, the money hadn't come out of my bank account, so I manually paid it so it was on time, then later in the day they took the payment again. It now says im

in credit is there a way I could get this back?
thanks 🙂

@Kezzy01204  Making a manual payment close to your  direct debit date won't stop the direct debit as you've found.  

You should never be making manual payments unless Sky have asked you to.

Does you current bill also show as paid as well as the credit showing?  If so we can ask the community mesaaging team to help with the refund.

Yes the bill shows as

paid. I paid manually as I am new with sky and have come to realise that skys direct debits come out later in the day.

Also I have just changed bank accounts recently and was worried the direct debit was unsuccessfully taken and didn't want to be late with my payment. 
Many thanks for making  me feel like a 5 year old though. 

Have a lovely day Karen. 🙂

@Kezzy01204  Do you want the Community Messaging team to help with the refund? As we can ask them to help.
