Refund of Credit

[Julie700]

I cancelled my sky broadband and tv in March as I have switched provider. After paying my final bill I now have a credit on my account. It says the credit will be applied to my next bill, but I have no active services. How can I get a refund?

@Julie700 
Refunds after cancelling should take about 6 weeks from your last day of connection however posts here do suggest it’s taking longer.

We can potentially help get it refunded within 3-5 working days via the Community Messaging Team on here if you wish. Let us know on this thread if you want to do that.

Note: …The same applies if you’ve moved address since cancelling and you’ve had an email from Sky about posting a cheque to you. The team can either reinstate your payment method to refund you in 3-5 working days or arrange a back office team to send out a cheque to your new address which will obviously take much longer.

Before we can escalate it to Sky please confirm in your reply that the payment method is still active.

My direct debit is still active

I’ve escalated your post to Sky and their Community Messaging Team should make contact with you tomorrow. 

Look out for a post on this thread from one of the team inviting you to a private chat and then you should see a blue/red speech bubble at the bottom of your forum page. You’ll have 48 hours to click on it and start the private chat or it will close automatically. If you fail to respond to a chat reply within 48 hours the chat will again close down automatically even if your issue hasn’t been resolved. Replies from Sky aren’t instant so you’ll need to check the chat thread periodically.

Thanks. A  refund will be processed in May when my bill is ready.

I recently asked for help getting a refund as I have left sky. I spoke to a sky advisor on this page who said my refund would be processed on the 4th of May, but I still haven't received it.

Is the credit still showing on your account (Sky bill) ?
