Refund on a credit balance now I've cancelled sky tv and broadband

[JLW23]

Hi - I've cancelled sky tv and broadband.  I have a credit balance that on my account is being held for future bills - obviously there aren't any future bills.  

Please can you help me in requesting a refund to my bank account.  I can't see an option for this in my sky account.

thank you

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

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

Before we can escalate it to Sky please confirm in your reply that:
▪️it’s still currently showing as a credit on your Sky account and,
▪️if the payment method is still active.

If you’ve already cancelled your payment method Sky can reinstate it, or get a back office team to raise a cheque to post to you but that obviously takes a lot longer.

Hi - many thanks for quick reply

yes - still showing as credit around £46

yes - payment method still active 

if you can request refund that will be great.  We cancelled in April this year

many thanks

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