£90 charge for unreturned kit

In March this year, I received a replacement Virgin TV 360 box and returned the old one via Yodel using the label provided.

Today I have had yet another text message and email reminding me that a £90 charge has been applied to my account for unreturned kit. I have been getting similar messages since the 3 May, and have contacted Virgin Media twice to advise that I had in fact returned the kit (on 16 March): both times I was told not to worry as it can take up to 10 days for the kit to arrive at their depot. I told them it was well over 10 days ago and was assured that I would not be charged. But today, another reminder...

I have provided the Yodel reference number for the return, but without the postcode I personally cannot check to see that the box arrived safely. When I mentioned this in one of my calls, I was told they couldn't give me the postcode as Virgin has lots of depots across the country.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? How long did it go on for? Were you actually charged?

Thanks in advance!

    My Yodel label had a postcode of NN8 2DH, so try that with your Yodel tracking number ?

      Thank you so much for this. Yes, using that postcode worked! Hopefully it will be helpful to others as my case has now been resolved.

    For anyone else reading this, after an exchange of PMs, the charge was removed from my account.

    Thanks to @John_GS!
