Missed Bill Payment

Hi Guys,

Apologies for posting in the credit card section but I have a query regarding credit reference agencies and thought this might be a better section to receive a reply.

I have recently subscribed to Sky for my landline telephone service but using online banking I accidentally cancelled my direct debit meaning I missed my bill payment this month.

My question is - Are telephone landlines monitored by credit reference agencies? I'm kicking myself for this happening but don't mind too much as long as it doesn't go down as a missed payment on my credit report. I have sent away for a copy of my credit report but it won't be here until a few days time.

Many thanks for any advice you can offer,

    As far as I know Sky does not report account conduct to credit reference agencies...

    Many thanks Stephane - this is a huge relief to me as I am working hard to build my credit history and pay off my debts at the moment.

    I am hugely annoyed with myself for doing it - I was cancelling my old telephone providers' direct debit and cancelled my existing one by accident.

    Many thanks again,
