  • Is there no way that you can reinstate the contract. And then cancel it in a couple of weeks time. You will probs have to pay another month's bill but will deffo be cheaper than £120. Out of interest did you not ask them to action it when your contract was due to expire, that's what I usually do.

    Personally I would be inclined to explain that there has been a misunderstanding and the cancellation was meant to coincide with the end of the contract. However also try to dig out the original contract and look for the exact wording and date on which the contract started.

    Sky can be quite nasty and I would like to have faith in our judicial system to throw such triviality out (however find it hard to).
