Payment

[Yolanda2]

Payment taken without my authorisation

@Yolanda2  If you have a service from Sky you authorised them to take payment each month either by Direct debit or card.

What makes you think Sky don't have your authority?  Maybe explaining in more detail on what the issue is would help.

[Yolanda2]

I paid my bill manually. Then sky toke a payment at 10pm. For double the amount. They didn't take it as direct debit. This has now put me in a very difficult situation. As I have no money for my gas or electricity.

@Yolanda2  You should never make manual payments as this very issue is caused by doing so.

Does a credit now show on your account?  If so we can escalate your post to the Community Messaging team who will pick it up later this morning.

[Yolanda2]

Yes it shows on there. Could someone please call me tomorrow???? 

[GD1]

@Yolanda2  No one can call you from a forum post, the messaging team will contact via a chat link here in this forum if you want your post escalating.

[Yolanda2]

Yes please. Thank u

@Yolanda2 To get you some help with this I have escalated your post to the Sky Messaging team. This link explains how it works https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Did-you-know/Escalating-a-post-to-a-Sky-expert/ba-p/3711147#M1014

Keep an eye out for an invite or blue chat bubble.

When the blue bubble does appear you have 48 hours to respond or it will be automatically closed.

Be reassured the email & message is from Sky and your details are safe and secure.
If you are using Safari please make sure that Hide IP Address is not checked in order to see the blue bubble. If you are having trouble finding this to check the settings, use another browser such as Firefox, Chrome etc.

I would also recommend that if not already on, that you turn email/private message notifications on to avoid missing any alerts

Thank you. I really appreciate it

Hi @Yolanda2 

An invite was sent but there was no response within 48 hours so it has automatically closed.

If you still need help with this please let us know by posting on the forum again and we will get it escalated through to us.
