    Another of these warranty companies has just been closed down by the Insolvency Service, supported by the Financial Services Authority:-

    becko you are trying to get people believe you are something to do with sky and that is to me a scam..maybe we will see you on watchdog soon?
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    we make it very clear we are not sky. you have no right to tell me what i say, we offer a service and so far every one is very happy with us sky no about us and have no problem, if you take a closer look at your car insurance the charnces are you wont be insured by who you think you are insured by this thread should be closed very soon because its against the law.
    d/g started ste same way we did the only differance is they pay sky a silly amount of money to use there name, any more questions ill be happy to answer.
  • It sounds unfortunate that your new business name is similar to the Scam artists and as for that last chap saying your trying to pretend to be sky, Pepsi are doing quite well! Are they trying to be Coca Cola? Good luck in your new venture and I look forward to seeing an apology posted to you soon.
  • And Virgin Cola! I'm sorry to hear the rabbit lady did'nt do her homework properly before she made these illegal slanderous suggestions. You can go legal if you feel it has effected your business Becky.My friend went through a similar thing and sued the person for £15000 because he lost customers as a direct result of slanderous comments. It's a shame people are so quick to assume the worst now days.I hope you get this sorted soon. all the best with Digital Repair plan Ltd.
  • So stevearizona, TinaJ and becky.o you all registered in the last 24 hours to post only to this thread.
    I'm sure that digital repair plan ltd is a fine company that only employs the most morally pure behavior in its business dealings.

  • Thankyou Stevearizona and TinaJ for your moral support on this forum its a shame that others members on this site do not feel the same way. We offer the same service as any other warranty company would for any household appliance. I just thought I would let everyone know that sky themselves do not offer a warranty protection that is how they make their money by employing engineers and charging their customers a £65 call out charge and then repair and replacement fees on top to fix the equipment. Digital repair plan ltd. is a genuine legal company that take the worry off someone having to pay those charges, as a customer would pay us just over £4 a month for a warranty, I personally think that is a good and fair deal.

    I found out my parents had been paying for a repair plan despite having a new Sky+ box. I got my mum to phone up Sky to tell them to cancel and she was told the repair plan wasn't actually with Sky. In my opinion these warranty companies don't make it clear they're not actually Sky.
