I posted,
I'd heard of long waits on 087 numbers so I
1 Told my bank to stop the Direct Debit.
2 Sent an email to Sky telling them so
No phone bill, no wasted time & no argument !

Dazbear's response---
Actually emails are legally binding contracts, far more than a phone call and even a letter.
---This can be confirmed by anyone who has been sacked for, in an email, describing his/her boss as something I could not repeat here.
Some ways of ensuring proof are
1---use web-based email e.g. Hotmail, Gmail etc. proves sending easily & lack of a "could not deliver" shows arrival.
2---Send as a "reply" to an earlier email.
3---Send to multiple Sky recipients ( remember Oscar Wild's "losing one parent is unfortunate losing 2 smacks of carelessness!)
4---provoke a response! If I say how I did it, then it wouldn't work for you !!
SWIZZ?
