Renewal mis-sold

Hi, I called yesterday to close my account due to cost and service but after speaking to someone decided to extend with a new price and the Sky Sports Package. I asked if this was complete and was told it was, but I have only been given the SD channels which, on my TV are very poor quality.

I would not have agreed to stay if I knew this so, please can someone assist and either add the channels or let me know how to cancel this contract?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi jmkb007 

    You have a 14 day cooling off period so contact retentions again and cancel the new contract. They would then revert you back to your old contract and pricing. You then have the choice of either renegotiating and try and get the HD add on for Sky Sports for free instead of paying the additional £7 extra, or cancel.  You never know, you might even be able to negotiate a better deal this time.

    Hi jmkb007 

    Welcome back to the community forms

    Sorry to hear of your concerns with your package. 

    Sky Sports HD is a separate add on than the standard Sky Sport channel package that's offered and is at an additional cost. 
    Did the agent advise, or does you contract sat that Sky Sports HD was adding into the package?

    Hi Carley,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    To be completely honest they did not mention HD outright, I asked if it was all of the Sky Sports Channels assuming that includes the HD ones so it could be put down to a miscommunication rather than mis-selling but I feel it was misleading at the very least.

    Do I need to call again if I want to cancel?

      Hi jmkb007, 

      Thanks for coming back to us on this one. I'm sorry to hear there was some miscommunication. 

      As HD was never mentioned, it certainly wouldn't be a case of mis-selling or misleading however as you've expressed an interest in adding HD, we can take a look to build this into your new package for you. 

      In order to do that I will need to confirm some information with you to pass security so I have sent you a direct message to allow us to do this with you in a private space. If you are using a PC/Laptop then you can just click on the little ✉ at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox. If you are on a mobile/tablet device then instead click on the little circle icon in the top right then select 'Messages'. 😊

      Thanks,
