What to Say When They Try to Keep You

  • Sky's retentions team has authority to offer significant discounts (30-50% off)
  • Call and say 'I'd like to cancel' — you'll be transferred to retentions
  • Have competitor prices ready (e.g. NOW TV, BT, Virgin Media)
  • Be prepared to actually cancel — they can tell if you're bluffing

Your Legal Rights

Your cancellation rights are protected under Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, Communications Act 2003. For new contracts, you have a 14-day cooling-off period during which you can cancel for any reason and receive a full refund.

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, subscription services purchased online or by phone must allow cancellation without penalty during the cooling-off period. Companies that make cancellation unreasonably difficult may be in breach of consumer protection law.
