    @jammierooroo @SkyUK It's not usually Sky calling but one of their affiliates calling. They call me on a daily basis on different numbers even though it's the same people. They are aggressive and often call back when you hang up on them @skyuk need to do something about them

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK Just about the worst company, I now wouldn’t have anything from @SkyUK if it was free, and I was a customer for over 25 years! Scum!

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK You could just cancel the direct debit, and tell them to **** off. What they gonna do? It's unsecured debt. She's elderly. Is she gonna be taking out credit cards? Doubt it. Tell them where to go. Sign upto Virgin instead.

    @jammierooroo @bertrumtamblyn @SkyUK These companies make it so difficult to terminate contracts and the best way is just stop paying them.

    @jammierooroo @JAU_4 @SkyUK Doesn’t help when the call centre is based outside of the UK. They just work off a script, no empty or emotions on that script. I do hope you get it sorted, they are the worst company for customer service

    @SkySports Chelsea at 48 points and 5 straight Ls, but SkySports still wants a post-mortem on Rosenior like the problem was one man.

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK Steer clear of @EE twice sky prices and want £300 to terminate contract, new customers offered prices cheaper than #Sky.. its all a rip off

    @OliviaD150 @jammierooroo @SkyUK The law has altered on cancelling adirect debit, you can now cancel it via your bank. You no longer need the recipient of the DD to cancel it.

    @jammierooroo @Bredebeck @SkyUK Absolutely do the SAR request and make it clear that you want that recording so you can complaint the ombudsman. They'll try and say oh it's a mistake and we've resolved it so there's no need for the SAR but make sure you get that recording regardless. Then hammer the bastards.

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK There is a cooling off period - I checked, you won't have a problem but yeah, give 'em hell!

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK ****** are they still doing that? I helped an elderly lady over 15yrs ago fight against Sky for the same reason! I've personally never had and never will have a Sky subscription, they're rip off merchants in my eyes. Heck I don't even watch TV any more, don't have one.

    @jammierooroo @Noritaeden @SkyUK I had a similar experience with their Indian call ctr. I called back and demanded to speak to someone in the UK (they have a call ctr in Scotland). The guy was v helpful and easy to understand. Got my bill down by over £45 a month. Moral of story, demand to speak to a brit!

  • TheFluffster1
    TheFluffster1 (@TheFluffster1) reported

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK Do take a look at the distance selling regulations under the Consumer Rights Act if needs be. There's a right to cancel within 14 days. Sky should be fully aware of this.

    @jammierooroo @Nelia23893053 @SkyUK You yourself must be sick in the head spending 1300 quid a year on watching woke/ celebrity/ lefty shite on TV, never mind your MIL. No sympathy whatsoever. £25 a week for **** sake.

    @CindyTh3Dog @jammierooroo @SkyUK They’re the worst. All farmed out to foreign call centres who don’t speak good English. They mumble and constantly try the upsell. When my mum wasn’t budging they just hung up on her. Others have been equally rude. Moved her off from BT to Vodafone and they’re just as bad.

    @jammierooroo @SkyUK When my mum was in a similar position (no sky ) but recently bereaved we told her to,say no to any calls for any services be it to change landline, energy provider etc. Shame you didn’t tell your mum the same as she would have just put the phone down. £110 a month? What for?

    So sorry to hear this. SkyUK are very demanding. I’ve had problems with them too. Very bad senior management I’d say.
