Cancelling Sky

[bobby5]

Anybody had experience doing this? I'm about to cancel my contract and I've heard many horror stories about their customer services.

Cheers

I tried before my move to Germany. They cancelled it, then continued to bill me the next month.

If your canelling it, make sure you cancel the direct debit from your bank too.

Get your revenge in first ... cancel the direct debit THEN tell them.

I tried to shut one down after a bereavement. Could I persuade them ? Could I buggery. The bank-account was closed and they then tried to bill me, as executor. They told me the service was still being offered until the day I notified them & so they were owed 6 weeks worth. I said it may well have been offered but it hadn't been used, exactly.

They still tried to get me to pay the money.

I explained, in simple, but direct words, that I wished them well, that they'd better get used to some bad publicity and a good deal of effort, worth considerably more than the amount they were seeking.

I got 3 more reminders before sending calling them a final time & eventually they agreed "without prejudice" to drop the charge.

Good of them.

I cancelled my second box. The channels had gone within the hour.

If I cancelled Sky, would it stop raining?

it's simple. cancel your direct debit then ring them and tell them to cancel your subscription. they're fecked then.

They will ask you why you are cancelling. Tell them it's because you are going to Virgin.

I got movies/sports et all free for a month, then £10.99 for the next 2 months.

I still went to Virgin though, after the 3 months was up.

Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.

its got some way to go yet.

the idea's sound, but i dont think it works completely.

sky tv is a good example.

i remember rupert himself going

"we carnt charge more than £50 a month , people are gonna go "i'm stopping that" or "i'm only spending £40 knock whatever off" theres a limit to what people'll spend on tv (or whatever)" about 12 year ago .

dont know where that fits in a capitalist/socialist 'system'

although.

the markets changed to a "get 5 things for £50" one now..

you either have/pay it or you dont.

stop it , they'll ring you back in 8 weeks and give you a discount of some kind [probably]
