Going bankrupt next week. I dont have any debts with Sky or 02 but will the Receiver tell me I cant have them, are they a luxury. I pay £90 a month with sky but that's tv,broadband and phone and £17 top up on 02

They can't order you to cancel anything, what they can do is to refuse or reduce an allowed budget item, which forces you to either economize in other areas, or reduce that expenditure.A lot will also depend on  the rest of the budget, if you are allowed some money for gym, hobbies or presents say you might not get a TV package too. It's not unreasonable imho to budget the following

Landline and broadband £30

Mobile £10-£20 (I'd think giffahff, voxi or smarty could cut your payg spend down)

TV £20 (I think they normally allow for a basic package, not all channels, sports and mobies)

TV license £14

If your not in contract with Sky it maybe a good time to see what's on offer retentions wise(although I'd avoid commiting until you know what OR is happy with). You could also look at freeview\freesat and say Netflix, BritBix, Amazon prime etc as an alternative
