Perhaps there call centre staff are so quiet they now going on to forums to protect there companies name.

Is this the same company that twice was featured on watchdog for misleading its customers into thinking they are from sky?

Well what becky.o said is true that "her" company was only incorporated this month as a new company. But the scammers that Watchdog featured and others do tend to close and open new companies but do the same thing and run by the same people. Maybe we should give becky.o benefit of the doubt and assume it's a complete coincidence that all these companies (including "hers") are all in West Sussex.

Quite possibly. Some of the companies have been closed down, only to be started up again under different names. According to the Watchdog programme there's a wretched hive of scum and villainy that all these companies operate out of. And they apparently all use the same tactics.

I had a call from one of these firms last night, calling "from Sky". When I questioned was he actually from Sky, he said he was calling "on behalf of Sky". So I asked his company name, and he just repeated he was calling on behalf of Sky. I terminated the call and told him why; if he can't tell me who he represents, I am not going to waste my private time (on a Sunday evening) trying to establish his company name.

My Sky installation was in January 06 and this is the first call I've had from one of these people, I don't suppose it will be the last.

Why bother. Sky charge a fixed price of £65 ALL IN, so you box would need to break down more often that every 17 months to be worth while at £4 a month... Doesn't sound worth it to me...

Besides, IMHO if the box breaks and Sky don't fix it for free then they lose a customer... Sky agreed with me last week and waived the £65 fee as they would rather have a customer paying full package subs then lose them over a box

I just thought I would let everyone know that sky...make their money by...charging their customers a £65 call out charge and then repair and replacement fees on top to fix the equipment.

Do you tell your prospective [strike]mugs[/strike] customers these lies?

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.

Good Sue me.

I do not need a repair plan and I am registered with TPS. One wonders when interrogating my phone at home, i am rang by the DRP scammers.

No I do not need your advice on my sky+ box, if it should fail, the nice man from sky will fix it for me at a flat rate (£65) and then guarantee it for another year. Ring me if you can beat that, oh, and the call out is about 1 in 6 years as well

I wait for your answers

Its beginning to sound more like Panda pops trying to be Coca Cola with Ice from where I am looking at the moment.

Becky can you beat the offer I pay at sky. £65 every six years, that is less than £11 a year or less than £1 a month.

One suggest the Cola drinker in your call centre cannot beat that quote, therefore we take it that my previous offer to sue remains valid.
