Refund of credit on my account

[GeoffL2]

When my account was closed, I was told there was £51-43 credit, which would be applied to my next bill. As there will be no next bill, how can i get a refund?

Refunds should take about 6 weeks from your last day of connection (but appear to be taking longer in some cases), however if your payment method has been cancelled Sky will have to manually raise a cheque via a back office team and post it to you so it’ll take even longer.

If the payment method is still active we can try to help get it refunded within 3-5 working days via the Messaging Team on here if you wish.

If the payment method has been cancelled you have two options…
1) you can call Sky to get a cheque raised or
2) we can escalate to the Messaging Team who can re-set your payment method.

Let us know on this thread what you want to do but before we can escalate it to Sky please confirm in your reply it’s currently showing as a credit on your Sky account and whether the payment method is still active.

Thanks for the response. Yes, the credit is showing on my account and the payment method is still active. The latter, because when I signed up, the DD setup was not working on-line and I reluctantly gave Sky my Debit Card details to pay the subscription. Of course, this does mean Sky can make a payment back to my Debit Card.

Your post has been escalated to Sky and their Messaging Team should contact you later.

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.
