I'm surprised there isn't a tonne of threads about this as well as the price hike.
On the same price hike letter, on the back is a statement about how they will now charge 4% a day, if you miss a payment, until you pay it back.
Disgraceful.

Ian.
I agree with you there. One might ask how does anyone "miss" a payment if paid by D/D? I cannot remember ever "missing" a payment to anyone in my 70+ years. Simple, if a subscriber does not like terms offered they can always give up Sky, it is not obligatory.
Completely agree with all of you.
Plus it creates an incentive to not miss a payment or make sure your bank account has the relevant funds to pay the DD.
Sky are not a charity, so why do they suck up to people who threaten to leave. they should take your view and if they cant afford to pay leave and don't come back
Don't know if they still offer this option, but my ex used to pay her Sky bill by cheque, this would have been around 2005.
Every so often she would forget to send it and the channels would suddenly go off. Eventually she just never sent the cheque and disconnected the box. She probably still owes them money!
Again, a bit like BT did for you, or doesn't that count?
For them to justify charging 4% per day i suspect there's more to this than the OP suggests.
Barclays’ Base rate is currently 0.5%, so if it remained the same, that would be daily interest based on a yearly rate of 4.5%.
The full scope of the charges Sky propose to impose is:
www.sky.com/latepaymentfee is yet to outline the specific fees that will come in to effect on 1st July 2015. It currently states:
I have never said BT are a charity please post it if I have, popeye13 was posting "Sky are not a charity" and I just agree with the post
So how did you get this orgasmic deal with BT then? Couldn't you afford full price?
Pity they had to "suck up to you" to make you stay.
I never said you did, please read it again, i am talking about BT sucking up to you to offer you a better deal, you are making out Sky are bad for doing this, yet BT have done it for you, so they are just the same.
yes you did as I was replying to some one who said Sky was not a charity. BT & Sky are both looking at damage limitation and Sky have more to loose
The same way you could if you could tear yourself away from sky, you just pick up the phone tell them you are not happy and leaving and you might get the deal I have,

I used to own a radiogram many years ago in my bedsit, but it would not look right now in my 1.6 million £ home, price is not the problem but I never like to pay more than I have to for anything.
I suggest you try reading it again, as i never mentioned the word CHARITY in my post, i was referring to your claim that Sky suck up to customers to offer deals, as BT have done with you, have they not (should you not leave BT, as you state Sky customers should do, if they won't pay full price)?
