I transferred broadband to sky from BT and have been charged a leaving fee- how do I get this

I recently transferred broadband to sky and have been charged a cancellation fee at BT- how do I get this reimbursed? I was told I would receive an email to explain?

@Nixjashton  You can claim under the switching credit however this may not cover the full cost of an early termination, see the link here https://www.sky.com/help/articles/switching-credit-offer

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

@Nixjashton 

It's called credit switching and this link explains what to do. Sky will reimburse up to £100

@Jerrycans 

My link in the post immediately above yours explains but you won't get that much. It's a maximum of £100 for TV and £100 for Broadband.

You don't: realistically that's considerably more than Sky would be making in profit from a broadband subscription during its initial minimum term, particularly on a discounted price.  No ISP can afford to pay anything like that much to encourage switching.

@Jerrycans 

Then it's a maximum £100 only.

With the end of PSTN sales, those are the same thing anyway.

If you were assured of that without any caveats such as the maximum amount of credit available then you may have a case for claiming misselling: you'll need to request that Sky reviews the call recording/ chat log.
