Hold on Sky account due to BR!

JPS29

Nearing the end of my Br so phoned sky to see what deals they have for reconnecting customers. I disconnected voluntarily before my BR and paid all up to date.

To my surprise I was told by the rep that there were notes all over my account telling them not to reinstate. I was then informed that this was due to the insolvency service informing them that I was BR!

They must have got the details form my bank sstatement, but what difference does it make to them anyway as Im not even on an IPA

Guess I'll just wait 2 more weeks til I'm discharged then show them proof of my discharge to get reinstated.

Anyone else heard of this or is it just my OR being a b1tch:cool:

Sorry no idea. I just carried on paying my DD and nothing has been said to me.

I have not had any problems at all so that is weird! Sorry to hear you having trouble with it and your OR.

us too we are both undischarged BR and have no problem with sky so far so good .

JPS29

Thats the thing, had I have kept the dd going and not cancelled then I am sure that Sky wouldnt have bpthered about the Insolvency letter, just a pain as I only cancelled to watch the pennies:rolleyes:

fatou256

it is indeed bizarre, as at the begining of my BR i didnt have sky for the same reasons watching the pennies . but after few month and realise that we have a little surplus we decided to go for sky and they didnt turn us down

dreamcatcher73

think how much money they have saved you by turning you down

Buy a freeview box, same carp programmes on there :rotfl:

I am already getting freeview from the old boxes, I jusst wanted to get my landline, broadband and a basic package off them as im coming out of contract with BT and the broadband speed is pooh so i might as well pay less money and get more products.

Mrs can apply anyway or I will re aplly in a fortnight when Im discharged, they did ssay If i gave them proof the block would be lifted

have you though of BT vision or virgin ( a lot cheaper) ?

we didn't have skyt full package though only entertianment and movie that' s all . we used ot have freeview but with poor coverage and etc.. decided to go with freesat and it is there we decided to subscribe to sky
regarding internet we are with o2 no problem at all with them they are pretty god and good price too .

I qualified for BT viion free but the line needs to run at 2 meg minimum. Mine is at roughly0.75 due to distance from exchange.

I am on a new estate so cable isnt an option either unless I want their through the phone line service which is carp

That does seem rather odd! My OR didn't contact Sky (or at least I don't think they did)
