My partner has recently moved out. The problem is, the sky bill is in his name. Can it be transfered to me?
Leftie and proud :beer:

    yes, although it does extend for another 12 months
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    If not, then it's not your problem, as he is liable for the payments-not you.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Sky wanted me to pay off the remaining term, then take out a new contract when I split with my ex (Sky was in my name). I just dropped the package to the bare minimum and carried on paying it for the remaining 5 months or so.

    They told me they couldn't transfer the contract into someone else's name. This was a few years ago though.
