Being made homeless and expected to pay to leave Virgin early.

Hello,

I have been issued a Section 21 no fault eviction notice, spoken to customer services to cancel the remainder of my contract only to be told that even though I am to be made homeless I need to pay almost £600 to leave my contract early.  My only housing option right now is to move in with family who are already in a Virgin media contract.

Surely there shouldn't be any exit fees in these circumstances?

  • Hi,

    I am now in this situation.  I have spoken to the Virgin media advisors and have been told need to pay £600 to cancel my contract.  How is this acceptable when I have been issued a Section 21 no fault eviction notice?
