Re: Sk iys ripping me off
Hi Mark.
YES, I have a confirmation email stated that fact, I also returned WiFi plug, also got confirmation as well.
All my account was cleared and got text confirming that.
Got an email this evening asking me to return and they will waive the charge of £29.95 if I rejoin, total threat and and corruption.
They have also threatened me with dept collection.
I've had enough.
Any help, or email phone number for head office.
Colin

What exactly do they say the charge of £29.95 is for?

Re: Sk iys ripping me off
Do you have the receipt with the tracking details on when you returned the hub so is that £29.95 a non return fee bewcause we might be bale to get you some help via here if it is and you do have the tracking details.

Re: Sk iys ripping me off
Yes, royal mail collected it but I have an email saying " thanks for returning router and WiFi plug" so they acknowledge receiving it.
Can't trust sky done me 15 years ago, thought they had changed, never again, doing my box in. Thanks for the reply, I really don't understand the rip off tactics.

Re: Sk iys ripping me off
But do you have the tracking details to hand and can you confirm the £29.95 charge is a "non return" one ?

Re: Sk iys ripping me off
Do not state anything about what the money is for just I owe it and they will contact a collection/ baliff to handle it
I will never use sky again ever. Thanks for the reply Mel

Re: Sk iys ripping me off
Hi @ColinLeader I'm guessing the logistics team to whom you returned the broadband Hub haven't notified Sky that they've received it. Consequently you've been charged a £29.95 non-return fee. Unfortunately it does happen.
It's easy to put right if you have the tracking information which confirms it has been delivered.

Re: Sk iys ripping me off
Hi Mark.
Think it's sorted.
Phoned Sky resolutions team, nice lady wiped off charge so hopefully now clear of sky.
I am going to give you a number to call sky, it was given to me by the sky engineer that came to try and sort things out. Its a call centre just outside Edinburgh, you might get Leeds also. important thing is they are English speaking, and I'm not prejudice in anyway, but difficult abroad. This the number. But won't let me put it why
SKY (removed)
Hope this helps other users.
Thanks for all replies and help.
Colin.
Moderator note: Removed contact details.
