Customer Service

Is it just me or other Virgin customer can never get hold of an advisor using their standard CS number?  To get to an advisor I had to go through ‘thinking of leaving us’ section.  I paid for a final account balance through my banking app using the correct bank details and Virgin media have lost the payment.  I wrote to ‘missing payments’ with evidence and explained to an advisor (twice) when, where, how, amount, inside leg measurement etc. And they still cannot find it.  I have waited 2wks and still no contact.  Speaking to them today which took over 30mins just to get past the automated madam and another 45mins going through security for the 3rd time….Customer Service is not Virgins strong point - anyone else agree

    Have you created a complaint regarding the missing payment, and the lack of contact and inability for the payement to be found.  https://www.virginmedia.com/help/complaints

    If you do decide to create a complaint then be sure to include all the necessary details as shown in the Help with payments not showing > What will I need to prove I've made a payment? section on the following page

      Thanks for the information - I completed and submitted a complaint about the fragmented and complicated service.  Incidentally, Virgin said they would call to resolve the issue and blow me down with a feather….they did.  But not with a solution just asking repeated questions from my original enquiries.  Virgin have said they’ll resolve within 2 days if they don’t receive a response from the missing payments team!!, writing off the amount!

        Hi there,

        Thanks for your post and welcome to our community. 

        We're sorry to hear about what's happened with the missing payment.

        Just to clarify for us please, have the team contacted the missing payments team and are awaiting their response?

        Have they agreed to contact you further once they hear back from that team? 

        Please pop back to us when you can.

    BPO collections are now demanding payment - I have sent emails to Virgin Media Missing Payments and copied them in writing with all the payment details already made.  Virgin Media have ignored my communications completely, emails not acknowledge, customer services by phone is an absolute joke as they nothing and cannot help and even didn’t know there was a missing payments department.  Anyone thinking of be enticed to join Virgin, their Customer Service DOES NOT EXIST.  Useless

      Thank you for that information. We certainly appreciate your frustration with this. When you have called in have you spoken with the collections team?
