SKY TV Customer Service

Dear All

I wonder if anyone can help me to get to right department or person for resolving below two issues,

1, I had Sky TV until May last year on my name & sent email to terminate my contract (Automated Ref number from SKY Website email sent on 21/05/09, Cancel Sky TV KMM2063622I15977L0KM)</SPAN> and started new SKY+ account on my wife's name.

I found out only two weeks ago they still kept on charging my account while I was thinking it's SKY+ Direct Debit however my wife told me she set up a direct debit from different account from which money is also going every month regularly (I know it sounds a bit silly why we didn’t find out earlier).

If anyone can advise what would be right course of action for asking a refund from Sky or should i invlove any other government department in this?

2, We had SKY+ since May 2009 on a special promotion courtsey of MSE (:T)website £50 M&S vouchers which still didn’t arrive although a reminder email sent to sky on 21st September 2009 (Automated Ref number form email sent 21st September 2009, General Enquiry KMM3023970I15977L0KM</SPAN>)

Thanks in advance to everyone.

    You'll be lucky getting a refund if it's to the same address.

    Sky would be unhappy if you signed up for a new deal with a special offer given that you're not supposed to get the offer if you're already a member - and they class swapping between husband / wife as "already a member".

    I would strongly suspect that your best bet would be to *never* mention to Sky the new deal and just phone up and tell them you're still being charged - make sure you use a different phone or put 141 before the number when you dial because they do account verification on phone number and will see both accounts ;)

    Customer Services should sort you out.

    Once that's done, phone them back and this time leave your number in and chase up the M&S Vouchers!

    Keep the two issues seperate.

    Do not cause confusion by metioning them both in the same phone call.

    1. You make a phone call to Sky customer service quoting your old account number and address and give them the cancelation reference from the e-mail explain you gave your one months notice on date x and that you can't understand why they are still taking payment. Ask for a full refund.

    2. Your wife makes a seperate phone call to Sky with the new details and asks for the voucher.

    If you start crossing the accounts it will confuse the mater.

    I used to work there keep it simple! Trust me!
