some sky card agents are now actively seeking a yearly (or 6 monthly payment) for the privalige of using the agents UK address for the sky card. previously this was not actively seeked, but now they are. 130 per year is cheap compared to some of the others prices for the "fee" - i have seen them at 200 euros a year.
hence, if you do not want to pay this fee, then set up a sky card using your own uk address.
or give the company a UK address and get them to transfer the account there...so you do not have to pay the "fee", of course the agent will charge you for doing the transfer, and you can tell if it has been done as your uk address should start to get the monthly Sky Magazine.
if you are unable to provide a uk address then pay the fee by the agent - he is providing you with a service, and if you do not like it then stop using it or seek an alternative.
this is why i always that for the cards i assist in setting up the clients provide me with a uk address of their own, citing the "just in case i get hit by a bus" and then my clients will be left with no contact with their sky account.
many people cannot contact their installers "who have done a runner!", and so do not know where their new cards are..... if you are in this situation the best thing to do is to cancel your sky Direcet Debit ASAP, as someone may be using your card and you area paying for it! then set up another using your own uk address.
