Sky Tv

on 29th december, i recieved a call from sky offering me a "special promotion" of £5 a month for movie channels. i accepted although i usually decline these offers.

i have just checked my online bill and see my bill has gone up from £18.50 a month to £42.50 shouldn't it be £23.50 per month?
i called sky and spoke to two members of staff that were not very helpful, all i was advised was to call back on 29th january to cancel the package.

i am not happy at all and want the package cancelled and my payments reimbursed, please advice on what i shall do.

kind regards

    bump :confused:
  • I would be tempted to put your complaint in writing, stating all the above facts, making the letter sound assertive but not aggressive - had real issues with AOL last year and no amount of phoning them solved the problem so I resorted to putting it in writing and got sorted in the end. Perhaps use registered post so you know they received it.

    I think this is the address for Sky Complaints
    Sky Subscriber Services Ltd
    4 Macintosh Road
    Kirkton Campus
    Livingston
    West Lothian
    EH54 7BW
  • oh and make sure you save a copy of your letter, handy if you have to send another one and you can then enclose a copy of the original.
    good luck.

    The same thing happened to me and i was refunded without any problem.All they did was take the amount they owe me off my next direct debit. It was a well know issue according to the girl i spoke to using the phone number on the viewing card.
