    I negotiated a price of £76 back in March and the lady said that there would be a couple of adjustments for March and April but it would settle on £76 after that. However, the monthly payment has settled on £85 a month.

    I've emailed them and telephoned them 4 times but they keep saying the original operator needs to sort it as she doesn't appear to have applied a manager's discount. They keep promising it will be sorted in a couple of days but I'm going round in circles and getting nowhere with it.

    Does anyone have any ideas where I can go from here? An address for a formal complaint maybe or a UK based customer complaints service?

    Thanks.

    I complained to Sky Help Centre <help@skycustomersupport.com> about Customer Priority Team hijacking the admin of my Sky account - and preventing me from accessing any decent deal - For example, I am still paying a ridiculous £9 extra for HD and almost £100 for my (standard) service
    Anyway - I received a response this morning - telling me :
    "Thanks for your recent e-mail. We're sorry you're having some difficulties with your Sky products. Our Customer Priority Team is now managing your case, they're specialists in resolving complaints. I know you want to discuss over e-mail, but did you know you can now message us instead? It's the fastest way to get support with your complaint."

    What should I do next ?

    Is there a HIGHER level that I can complain to ?

    Less than a year ago I used to pay £66.50 for the following: 
    Sky Signature£18.00
    Ultimate TV Add on £6.00
    Sky Sports Complete  £12.00
    Sky Sports Subscription :£13.00
    Sky Broadband Superfast £17.50
    I now pay £80.50 a month so said I want to cancel- this will be done on 2 June. They asked me to call for an offer (have been with them for 18 years) but said the cheapest offer the could give me now was £86!!! I asked about Broadband only and they said the cheapest offer was £27- but it is advertised for new customers at £22. So seems like I will be going elsewhere - such a faff!

    So have I, last month, and it absolutely wasn't ignored. They were on the phone to me apologising within 18 hours. The response came from ExecutiveResponseGroup@sky.uk, so you can try that.
    If in doubt - do something. (With fond memories of Harry Chapin)
