Never.
They will happily keep taking payments until individuals cancel their subscriptions.
If they offer refunds would they then not pay the clubs?
This... As far as they're concerned you've had what you paid for up to now.... If you ain't happy with what you're getting at the mo then it's down to you to cancel.Quote:

I have no doubt they'll continue to take what they can,however surely at some point there must be contractual issues when people are signed-up for however many advertised 'live' sports events and are locked-in to 18 month subscriptions etc on that basis? Maybe they'll still get the majority of these events later in the year I suppose...Quote:

My parents are in their 70's and have had their sky package for over 20 years.
I had always suggested that they cancel to get a better deal but they would never do it.
They wont be registered with them online as they dont use a computer.
Can I cancel or pause the sports channel for them?
I notice on the link above that it asks for their email address but they have never registered.
I think if you register for My Sky, perhaps on behalf of whichever one of your parents is the account holder, then you could log on and pause it for them.Quote:

They should definitely cancel and try and get a better deal. We done this with Virgin a few months back - originally our deal package went up to £109 which we said to cancel , they came back with £89 and we said no just cancel.Quote:

Anyone tried to stop their Premier Sports subscription?
I have paused Sky Sports and cancelled BT Sports (30 day notice still required :confused:) but no joy with Premier Sports -
I am almost 100% sure they have changed my login details for my account, there is no call centre operating and the skeleton staff working can only deal with account sign in issues by email which they ignore! :greengrin
Total cowboys. I only pay £11 a month or something so not the end of the world but its crazy companies can behave like this
Doesn't premier come out as a recurring debit card payment? I know it's a pain but your bank could stop this. Not the best time to be contacting them though.Quote:

How much are Sky deducting each month, for “pausing” Sky Sports
yeah i emailed that email address - I will try to find out about the card payment. As i say only £11 a month so not a drama but no point in paying it every month if there is no sport on.
I saved £16.50 a month I think by pausing Sky Sports but I had just entered into a new package so not sure if some people might be saving more
cancelled BT Sport which was costing me £36.50 a month cause I had never bothered to phone them up so when the football comes back on I should get it for cheaper than that when renewing
Think my brother is saving £26 for pausing his Sky Sports
Have a look on your most recent bill and it will tell you how much of that is based on your sports subscription. Of our £66 a month, £20 is for sports and £2 for sports in HD.Quote:

It shows up on mine under My Bills, Charges £31.75CR.Quote:
