He or she for all I know hadn't mentioned anything about Sky at that point.....Post #10 is where they brought up the name of the company. So I can definitely be forgiven for mentioning the Financial Ombudsman Service because usually, someone complaining about their Sky TV would use the consumer rights board.Moneyineptitude wrote: »The Financial Ombudsman Service won't entertain a complaint referral about a disputed Sky bill I'm afraid...Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi0 -

I am not OBSESSED with making business incur costs - I am just trying to get Sky to pay for mistreating my financially - they are trying to increase my charges - despite my being on a fixed price contract and are now totally blanking me !!
You ought to check what the terms say e.g. if they are allowed an inflation increase or if you have cancellation rights. Why not just ring and threaten to cancel and see if they offer you a dealSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Because I spent a good week obtaining what I thought was a good deal - just 6 weeks ago (£43 for everything HD) and was told that my price would not increase over the next 18 months !!
I have an email from Sky telling me this..0 -
I have a sim only phone contract which is £x a month, they are allowed inflationary increases as per Ofcom rules, so long as they detail this in the contract you signed.
So again, regardless of what you think you did, read the terms and conditions and see if they are allowed to do it.Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:

The OP has already been quoted those terms and conditions on a different thread in the (more appropriate) "TV Moneysaving " board.regardless of what you think you did, read the terms and conditions and see if they are allowed to do it.
