Cancelling your DD doens't in turn canel the contract, so that's why sky will still chase you for the money
Made me feel better tho.
It's a long and complicated story and I can't be arsed writing it all out but it involved me taking days off my work, kunts not showing up, kunts showing up with mucky feet, leaving footprints all over our new hall carpet. Sky Customer services (and I use the term loosely) making me out to be an idiot.
Eventually box was collected from front door step as it was not fit for purpose. I had a contract with Sky to provide me with a certain level of television and they failed to do that. Contract has been cancelled and letters sent, just waiting on final refund.
They even wanted to send out some head regional sales guy to sort things out, but guess what? I had to take another day off my work so told him to get tae.
Doubt I'll get Sky again although they have made me some very attractive offers.
Will think about it again when football season starts and I get some more holidays sorted.
