Cancelling Sky before end of contract

pcombo

Sky dont not put default or anything on your file ever.

The OP has the right to have the contract ended if there not staying in the house the contract was made. If sky are unable to transfer services to new house then they need to cancel.

They cant force someone to pay for a service there not getting.

But Sky are able to transfer the service to the new property-there's nothing in the original post to say that Sky cannot be received there.
And even if they couldn't, the original contract still applies-because it applies to the original property, not the new one. Sky do not guarantee 100% coverage (just like any mobile phone provider). If You choose to move to a property with no signal, it does not void your contract.
Sky have 10m subscribers, are you seriously saying that they never chase any debts or use the standard processes for recovery?

What do you not understand about a 12 month contract. It is not Sky who are breaking the contract - it is not their fault that the OP is moving The address the contract was taken out in has absolutely no bearing - the contract is with a person NOT an address. There is nothing whatsoever that has been posted so far to say that the Sky cannot be transferred to the new premises.

Sky dont not put default

BTW your double negative here actually means they do and they really do in virtually every case of such breeches of contract as you propose. Get in the real world.

of course sky use debt collectors, All im saying is they dont put defaults etc on your credit file, As its not credit there given you, I do know because i owe them 2k and i have 0 information regarding sky on my file.

macman

Eh? If you owe Sky £2K, then you are a debtor and they are a creditor.

pcombo

Im not gonna sit and reply to the post.

Your right macman, your information is 100% correct, Who am i to say its not.

Good day, have fun.

macman

It's also worth mentioning that the Sky Home Move service will be free-so the OP has nothing to lose by taking out that option.

Many thanks, on behalf of my friend for all your replies and offers of advice.
It certainly seems that Sky will have NO sympathy whatsoever and is hardly worth the bother.:mad:
Perhaps thats why her parents have Virgin Media!!:)

In this current financial situation, just what is somebody supposed to do? Maybe as in 'debt problems' whereby you write to the creditor and perhaps offer '£5' a month, I suggested she should try that. lol

they can and will put a default on the credit file, its a consumer credit agreement you enter into. I would love to know how you owe 2k as sky is max £80 a month

Try telling that to BT, Orange, O2, Vodaphone, 3, BBC Licence Fee, all energy suppliers with 12 month tie-in contracts, plus lots of others I can't remember.
