Can't renew, chat doesn't work - phone lines useless

Managing Your Account - Cable

Dear anyone,

If I try to renew online - I get an error "Oops - looks like something went wrong". Call Virgin, "oh no we give you any better discount on your internet than what you'd see online" - promptly get hung up on as a I query getting a better offer. I've also been sent a new router, and then randomly charged an activation fee. I tried again to call and I'm currently stuck on the phone to a random lady - who is just typing loudly and ignoring me as I say "hello, hello, hello, hello" having been here for 30 minutes.

This is absolutely shambolic. I just want to renew my contract, for a reasonable price - and have the extra charges for getting a new router - which I was promised I wouldn't pay - removed from my impending bill. HOW IS ANYTHING THIS DIFFICULT?

Hi frustrateduser7,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the community. 

I'm very sorry to hear about the issues you've had with renewing your contract. 

To confirm, have you been able to try different web browsers for your online account?

Yes, neither Safari or Chrome make any difference - the issue appears to be a fundamental one with my account

What error is it giving you? 

Is it just that one or is there another?

Did you request this new router? 

Can you put a screenshot of all the errors you are getting here please.

It's this error if I click "Explore your renewal Deal" or any of the "Renew" links - it does not matter - it just gives this error.
