The quote above relates to renewing a contract that has already run its 12 month minimum course. When you renew there is no second 12 month minimum. I was talking about what you said way back at the start of the thread: "New subs carry a 12 month minimum (in fact a 13 month minimum as Sky won't accept cancellation notices until the end of the first year, though this could easily be disputed in court). Only people re-activating an existing sub can cancel after one month." You clearly said that all new subs carried an effective 13 month subscription period. You were wrong. If they ever did, then it stopped at least a year ago. You seem to have quietly dropped that claim as the thread has went on and you have been proved wrong. You clearly can't read. Actually, you seem to be the one with the comprehension problem. I made it quite clear that I was referring to something you said earlier in the thread. This was in response to your habit of repeatedly making authorative sounding statements, being brought up on them and then trying to spin things. I highlighted something that you got wrong earlier in this very thread as I thought your behaviour was quite ironic in that light. On the contrary, it was demonstrated and accepted that Sky did indeed require subs to run for 12 months before accepting a cancellation order, thus making the minimum sub 13 months, as I said. The only thing that I didn't know was that they had stopped doing this since. Maybe you should check things out more thoroughly before making blanket statements then. You did a similar thing with regard to the need for a telephone line to use a Sky+ box in another thread, which is why I noticed it when reading this thread. I was delighted to learn this and mentioned at the time that this would explain why the subject hadn't arisen recently. No - I checked back and it's clear you tried to gloss over it and make out that you were right all along. quote: ------------------------------------------- I work at sky's call centre in Dunfermline and it was the case about 12-18 months ago we would not accept cancelations over the phone UNTIL 12 months contract had been fufilled, effectively forcing customers to subscribe for 13 months. Thank you for the confirmation. ------------------------------------------- Far from confirming what you said, the poster showed that you were completely wrong in claiming that this was actually happening yet you tried to make out that he was somehow backing you up. If I were you I'd just drop the thread instead of continuing to make assertions that everything you said was right. If I were you I would go back and read the messages in question instead of getting two different subjects mixed up. Maybe you should examine your 'know it all' attitude and your habit of trying to spin things when you are corrected. Then you might make a few more friends. Gav |
In article ,
lid says... I was delighted to learn this and mentioned at the time that this would explain why the subject hadn't arisen recently. No - I checked back and it's clear you tried to gloss over it and make out that you were right all along.

Only people re-activating an existing sub can cancel after one month." You clearly said that all new subs carried an effective 13 month subscription period. You were wrong. If they ever did, then it stopped at least a year ago. As I said, I was right about the principle but wrong about the timing. There is no question that they did effectively insist on a 13 month minimum sub at one time, even though most other participants in the thread claimed otherwise. You seem to have quietly dropped that claim as the thread has went on and you have been proved wrong. You clearly can't read. Actually, you seem to be the one with the comprehension problem. I made it quite clear that I was referring to something you said earlier in the thread. This was in response to your habit of repeatedly making authorative sounding statements, being brought up on them and then trying to spin things. I highlighted something that you got wrong earlier in this very thread as I thought your behaviour was quite ironic in that light. I don't see why. You will forgive me if I incorrectly assumed that you were making factual comments about the questions raised in the thread when you were actually making off-topic character assessments. Surely there are specific groups for that sort of thing? On the contrary, it was demonstrated and accepted that Sky did indeed require subs to run for 12 months before accepting a cancellation order, thus making the minimum sub 13 months, as I said. The only thing that I didn't know was that they had stopped doing this since. Maybe you should check things out more thoroughly before making blanket statements then. You did a similar thing with regard to the need for a telephone line to use a Sky+ box in another thread, which is why I noticed it when reading this thread. And just where does one check such things out? As if Sky would admit to illegally refusing to accept cancellations, or admit that the Sky+ phone requirement is not policed and that the Sky+ T&Cs are as clear as mud. I was delighted to learn this and mentioned at the time that this would explain why the subject hadn't arisen recently. No - I checked back and it's clear you tried to gloss over it and make out that you were right all along. quote: ------------------------------------------- I work at sky's call centre in Dunfermline and it was the case about 12-18 months ago we would not accept cancelations over the phone UNTIL 12 months contract had been fufilled, effectively forcing customers to subscribe for 13 months. Thank you for the confirmation. ------------------------------------------- Far from confirming what you said, the poster showed that you were completely wrong in claiming that this was actually happening yet you tried to make out that he was somehow backing you up. If you study the rest of the thread you will see that most of the other contributors insisted variously that at no time had Sky ever done any such thing, that no one apart from myself had ever raised the issue and that the entire thing was an invention of my own. I was merely thanking the other poster for his confirmation that Sky did do it, and that it wasn't my invention. Maybe you should examine your 'know it all' attitude and your habit of trying to spin things when you are corrected. Then you might make a few more friends. As soon as I feel the need to look for chat-room chums I shall certainly let you know and buy a copy of your book. I doubt that it will be any time soon so don't hold your breath. -- Digibox problem? : A reboot solves 90% of these.
