10 yearsWe've got the Premier Sky Repairs scheme set up, and I must say they've been incredibly helpful and polite every time we've interacted with them. The moment we encounter a problem, an engineer is on our doorstep the very next day. Their efficiency is truly commendable!Premier Sky Repairs10 yearsWe received a call from this company claiming to represent Sky, and they proceeded to sell us some kind of warranty, which resulted in a £20 deduction from our debit card. We're not gullible folks, but their apparent connection with Sky made them seem quite credible, so we went along with it. However, it's worth noting that we haven't received any documentation to back this up. Now, we're left with no choice but to cancel our card and switch bank accounts to stop them from making any further claims against us.Sky10 yearsSo, we had this chap named Paul reach out to us, using the same old spiel that had us convinced he was affiliated with SKY. We were in the process of renewing our current account when this occurred. He had all sorts of our details, even the first four digits of our account number. The moment the email landed in our inbox and we realised we’d been taken in, our phone suddenly started ringing off the hook with this dubious outfit. They didn’t lift a finger to assist, which just ignited our anger - both towards them and ourselves for being so gullible. We're definitely going to be contacting Trading Standards about this!PaulSKY10 yearsJust to add to what’s been mentioned previously, the caller turned out to be from a company called Premier Sky Repairs (registration number 6865916) and has no affiliation with SKY TV in the slightest. This cold caller is trying to get you to sign up for their service plan by fishing for your bank details. Best to steer clear and not provide any information!Premier Sky RepairsSKY TV10 yearsWe recently switched to the premier Sky repairs package and were pleasantly surprised by how supportive the lady on the phone was. She took the time to clarify the straightforward process for us and addressed all our queries. When we needed to get in touch with an engineer, the service was incredibly swift. We would certainly suggest this company to anyone in need!Sky11 yearsI had a rather peculiar phone call from someone claiming to be a representative of SKY, stating they were eager to help me save some cash on my services. However, when I asked for a bit more detail about why they needed my account information, the caller became quite huffy and abruptly hung up on me. Interestingly, the chap who called introduced himself as Derek, and I noticed he had a distinct Scottish accent. He mentioned an extension number of 3745. Quite the dodgy encounter, if you ask me!Derek11 yearsHaving been a customer for more than a year now, I've found that when I had to reach out regarding our Sky TV, everything went smoothly. Honestly, it seems rather unjust to label them as scammers. Perhaps the company ought to take note of all this unfounded negativity and consider seeking legal action against it. Come on, everyone, Sky TV only manages its own channels. When these representatives contacted us, they made it explicitly clear that they're a third-party service. Maybe it's time folks cleaned out their minds and stopped the incessant complaining. How about taking these matters to court, Premier Sky?Sky TVSky12 yearsAs a long-standing client of Sky Premier, I found myself rather perplexed by a recent call from some unfamiliar individuals. A sales representative was kind enough to connect us with their manager, David Wilson, who was incredibly accommodating. He patiently addressed all our queries and proved to be exceptionally helpful. We’ve been with them for some time now, and I must say, the service has been consistently excellent.SkyDavid Wilson12 yearsHonestly, some individuals on this platform could do with a dose of reality! I’ve been engaging the services of Premier Sky Repairs for nearly a year now, and I can confidently say I've had three callouts in that time. Remarkably, each request for assistance was addressed within a mere 48 hours. We’ve been thoroughly impressed with the calibre of service provided on every occasion. The staff were not only polite but genuinely helpful too! I’d wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need. Finding a service of such quality at such a reasonable price is no easy feat!Premier Sky Repairs12 yearsReceived a call from a chap named David Wilson who claimed he could help us save some cash on our Sky subscription. He started talking about what seemed like a smashing deal, but then asked for our card details to sort it all out. Naturally, we were a bit wary and said we weren't comfortable sharing that information. He then gave us a number to call back for added security. Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else has had a similar experience. David Wilson, if you're looking for him!David WilsonSky12 yearsI spent a month at Premier Sky Repairs, and I wouldn't recommend them at all. The place was run by a twenty-something who seemed to have no clue what was going on. It's staffed by a bunch of dodgy characters who are only in it for the quick buck, raking in a meagre £3 for every customer they manage to shift. The calls are far from automated, which means these folk can utter whatever nonsense they fancy. Just steer clear, trust me on this one!Premier Sky Repairs12 yearsI've just received a call from some individuals claiming to be associated with Sky. A chap by the name of Jack was on the line. He proceeded to give me the first four digits of my card number, but then insisted that I provide additional information in exchange - quite the character, isn't he? We suspect that others might fall prey to this scam. The number they provided is 08005677149. We want to alert the relevant authorities about this. What steps should we take? Cheers, Walt.SkyJackWalt12 yearsUtterly dodgy characters, these folks should be steered clear of, much like one would from a contagious illness. They relentlessly pursue your credit card information and have absolutely no connection to Sky whatsoever. Consider this a major warning sign!Sky13 yearsUsual dodgy tactics with those cold calls, isn’t it? Don’t be taken in by their spiel. If you do end up giving out your bank or credit card info, brace yourself - they’ll hit your account right away but you won’t get an email confirming the transaction until weeks later. Remember, you've only got a mere seven days to change your mind, and they insist on receiving cancellation requests in writing. It’s yet another case ready for Trading Standards. I wouldn’t be surprised if they rebranded themselves shortly to dodge any scrutiny!13 yearsWe had the pleasure of speaking with Sarah, who was remarkably polite and provided a thorough explanation of the whole procedure over the phone. Her assistance was invaluable, and we truly appreciate it-definitely an asset to your team!Sarah14 yearsIt’s quite curious to learn that this firm operates out of Bournemouth. Earlier this year, I stumbled upon a rather distressing situation involving a trusting elderly acquaintance of mine, who unfortunately fell victim to a scam that led them to acquire three different insurance policies, each misrepresenting themselves as associated with Sky. Following the guidance of the Citizens Advice Bureau, I got in touch with Action Fraud, who advised me to formally inform them that the agreements were voided under the Misrepresentation Act of 1967. When I pointed out that all three companies were located in the Bournemouth region along the South Coast, I suspected a possibility of them sharing client details. Action Fraud confirmed my suspicions, suggesting that it was likely these firms were all part of the same criminal operation, as it wouldn’t be financially viable for them to operate independently.BournemouthSkyCitizens Advice BureauAction FraudSouth CoastSubmit Your Own Report (0800 567 7149)
