Digital Satellite Warranty scam

I have apparently been paying DSW fees for years. I thought I had sky insurance, but when I contacted sky they said it has lapsed. Long story short I now have 2 insurances for sky, but Digital Satellite Warranty is fraudulent (High Court just said so), and now they're in liquidation. To complicate matters, I have just switched banks. I was going through my finances to make sure I had enough money in the new bank for DD's when I came across the 2 payments. Question : How do I get this money back?

    There used to be a lot of cold calls on that scam.
    High Court just said so

    Wasnt this back in 2013? Or have you found another one? Digital Satellite Warranty Cover Limited was back then.

    Put a claim into the administrator and you may be lucky if you get a few pence back in the pound.
