What happens next?
As a Sky customer, we will always treat you with respect and in a reasonable and fair manner, and will be clear in our communications to you.
We'll get back to you within 3 working days of us receiving your complaint. If we can’t resolve it straight away, or if it is a complex matter, we’ll let you know how long it might take for us to investigate and who will be taking care of it for you.
We treat every complaint with importance, and we will always aim to resolve it with you as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than within 20 working days of receiving your complaint.
If you are not happy with the outcome of your complaint, you can reach out to the Telecommunications Dispute Resolution Scheme (TDR).
