If the system hasn't moved the bill to next months then it isn't going to be possible to do this as it is an automatic process so would have already happened if this was going to be possible.

 

Sky has this article for situations like this:

Sorry to hear of the diagnosis.


If your services are not yet restricted the following process applies to everyone, regardless of any personal circumstances …

🟫If you have a Direct Debit set up and the full payment fails on the normal payment date Sky will automatically attempt it again 10 calendar days later (so DO NOT be tempted to make a manual payment in this period).

After 10 days, if that second attempt also fails Sky may send a text and/or email notifying you that your payment has failed again and you then have a day or two at best before they restrict your services.

🟫If you have a Continuous Card payment method set up, if the full payment fails Sky send the text/email notification about the failed payment and you usually have at best 2/3 days before being restricted. There is no grace period and I believe only 1 attempt is made for a card payment, so if this has failed, you will need to pay manually and then reset the payment method for next month.

Restrictions are an automated process and we’ve been told Customer Service agents can’t stop it… even if you’re told otherwise on the phone. Sky don’t allow payment plans (except on a legitimately closed account) or a promise to pay on or by a certain date.

If last months bill was not paid and they have brought it forward to your next bill then as long as that next bill is paid you should have no issues with this. You will not have an issue with this bill as it has been moved to your next one.
