Contract renewal (no Netflix!?!)

Hi everyone. 

I’ve been a Virgin Media customer for about 3 years.

On 31st July I renegotiated my contract. This included Netflix and an upgrade to 1gbps broadband.

On the same day I cancelled my existing Netflix subscription.

The new Virgin Media contract was meant to go live on the 1st August. However, I have not been able to access Netflix through Virgin. I have not received the activation email and it prompts me for my payment details when following the steps on the platform.

I have spoken to customer services numerous times and each time am promised that the activation email will follow 24 hours later. I have also issued a complaint which I’ve received no response on.

Im now feeling quite frustrated and unsure what else I can do. I’m paying for a service as part of my new contract and am unable to access it.

Hoping someone can help? Thanks

    Check that Netflix is actually written in the contract, and whether it is with ads or without.

    Thanks for following up. 

    Yes, it is written in the contract (with ads) and customer services have acknowledged this when I have called
