We are customers like you @Lesleyann123 Perhaps ring Sky and see if you are able to reduce your package (if out of contract). Otherwise, if your services are not yet restricted, if you normally pay by Direct Debit and it fails on the normal due date, Sky will try again 10 calendar days later. If that also fails an automated process starts whereby your services start being restricted. We’ve been told that Skys Customer Service agents can’t stop that automated process.
We’ve also been told Sky don’t allow payment plans (except on a legitimately closed account) or promises to pay.

@Marley1908 If you have a continuous payment method and first attempt fails Sky will automatically retry 10 calendar days later (so don't make a manual payment unless Sky requests you too) if that second attempt fails an automatic process of restrictions will kick in (which we've been told can't be overriden by sky cs agents)starting with tv followed a few days later by broadband if sky is your isp

if restrictions are imposed they won't be lifted until the outstanding payment is paid in full and a new continuous payment method is setup

Note: if you don’t have a continuous payment setup the 10 day grace period does not apply and therefore unless full payment due is showing as credit on your account by payment due date restrictions will be applied almost instantly

We are customers so all we can say is if the bill isn't paid then your services might be suspended until the bill is paid in full.

also note sky do payment plans or promises to pay on active accounts I’m afraid

@AIDENSOPHIE17  No, only full payment will prevent restrictions I'm afraid

@AIDENSOPHIE17 
Sky will try again 10 calendar days later. If that also fails an automated process starts whereby your services start being restricted. We’ve been told that Skys Customer Service agents can’t stop that automated process (doesn't matter what they may tell you). We’ve also been told Sky don’t allow payment plans (except on a legitimately closed account) or promises to pay.

If your services end up being restricted you will have to pay what you owe in full before they are reinstated.
