@Trinity7 you agreed when signing up via the terms and conditions to make payments via direct debit or continuous card payments , so are obliged to have one or the other setup
as for the early payment the following applies
If you have a continuous payment method setup you should never need to make a manual payment as it won’t stop the automatic payment process if you make the manual payment 4 days before payment due date as the payment request has already been submitted
For direct debits if first attempt fails sky try again 10 calendar days later automatically and if second attempt fails your service will be restricted and that's the point to make a manual payment
you need to let sky take payment as normal because your payment has been applied to next month's bill not the bill that is due to be paid now
You can now either leave the overpayment on your account as credit to use against a future bill or contact Sky and request a refund which will take 3-5 working days to complete
For future reference if you want to make a manual payment to prevent the automatic payment being taken you need to make sure that the total bill amount is showing as credit on your Sky account 4 working days before your payment due date
