Contract renewal not activated

On 16th December, I logged into my VM account online to look at my contract renewal options. There was an offer to renew for  18 months for a few pound more than I had paid so I clicked the link, read through and agreed with the pre-contract documents, and then accepted the offer. I got an order confirmation  email straight away, but nothing has updated on my account. I have recieved my next bill and the amount for me to pay is double what I normally pay. I was expecting to.pay what I had agreed to when renewing my contract  There is no sign of me renewing my contract online or on the app

I have an order reference number and details of the contract offer I can provide if needed

Can anyone help? 

Thanks

  • I had the same problem. After a painful call with the call centre where they just kept telling me the deal wasn't available anymore and didn't seem to understand I had an order confirmation and had accepted the contract, I asked to be put through to their complaints department. They insisted on putting me through to a customer liaison line instead, where I spoke to someone who was able to help. I provided her with the code on the contract documentation I was sent earlier this month. She has set me up with a new contract that is notionally a higher price, but with an 18 month credit applied so it comes out at the same price as what I had already accepted, and she was able to arrange for my new hub to be sent on a day I can be home. Fingers crossed it will all work out - a painful hour on the phone! If the private message option above doesn't work, I suggest calling them but trying to get the call centre to escalate your call as quickly as possible as they cannot do anything to help.

      Looks like I will be making the phone call today, private message is useless, took a day of messages hours apart to log in to my account then another day to establish if the information they had was the same as what I had been sent & now haven't heard anything for 2 days so no further on than 4 days ago!! Thanks for the advice

  • I also have the same problem, took renewal price £31.70, accepted, received contract details number etc.... Chased it week later, they said it can take 14days to be live. Rang today to ask why another email states I'm going to be getting new bill soon at £69+

    They just said on the phone it was not activated, not my fault I said..... I have the contract number and information in front of me printed.  They could not help me at all. So after 25yrs + I will leave, refuse to pay £69 for a basic package! 

    So angry and disappointed with vm!
