£16.92 into bank

hornetstinger · 25 Nov 2019 at 20:01

Just logged j to my bank and I have been credited £16.92

I don't have a mobile phone contract, home internet, or home TV sky package.

I did put in some cash and tax rebate on that day but I can't figure out where that sky credit has appeared from. And it's not a round figure either

Any ideas?

Sky digital.

Likely a mistake then...but at that amount it's not worth worrying about?

Only thing I can think of is two years ago I had sky ADSL , but that was in previous address, and got it cancelled two years agoand any money I was on credit was credited back to me

Make sure you charge him 3 pounds for the 'transaction fee'

It'll be this, Sky are utterly useless when it comes to cancelling services.

They continued billing me for years after I moved out despite repeated multiple attempts to stop them, and then when they wouldnt listen I cancelled the DD myself. This made them rack up a debt and hire a solicitors, who unsurprisingly never replied again after I sent them copies of the emails.

It takes up to 3 days before a bank will reverse the money, so give it till that time.

I have a brilliant IDEA!!! Ask random strangers on the Internet, instead of asking the company that paid the money into your account......

You can get a 10 pack of 70mm M8's for £16.92

I only charge £35 for mine... including expenses

Mattmanslim · 26 Nov 2019 at 11:16

I've just had £14.09 credited into mine on the 25th too. Last had sky in 2017, like you, as an ADSL service which had long been cancelled. I suspect this is on the back of an audit.
