Big charge for a package change I didn’t make…

For March bill I have a ‘Package Change’ charge or £81.07 when I don’t believe I made any changes… This is a huge charge I haven’t been able/wanted to fork out when I don’t know what it’s for, but have no idea how to talk to a human about this. Have also racked up some late payment charges on my bills since because I haven’t paid this extra charge (£7.50/m). 

The annual contractual price rise was in April so went from paying £76/m to £82.68. Seriously considering switching from VM anyway because this is a lot, but really need to understand why they’ve slapped on this package change charge or how I can get it refunded.

I’ve seen some other posts here where there’s a small unexplained package change charge but nothing like this. Pls help!

  • Have just made a post about a £81.07 package change charge. Hoping you’ll also send me a message as I’ve refused to pay this so far, but now to have services not restricted I have to pay more than my monthly bill.

  • You can either call Virgin on 150 from a Virgin phone, mobile or landline, or 0345 454 1111 from any other phone and select the "leaving option", this should put you through to retentions who are usually UK based, if the wait is too long tonight or you get put through to the offshore advisors try again tomorrow morning when they open at 8 am.
