Disaster
I requested a home move, leaving my old address on 3rd may, my install at my new address was on 8th May. after the engineer installed all the equipment, the tv boxes were not working correctly. i am unable to record, pause/rewind/fast forward. I cant watch any catch up or on demand programmes, the apps section is greyed out so i cant use them. I do not have sky sports HD which was part of my package before the move, despite three lengthy phone calls all of around 1 hour, this is still not resolved. There is a message on the home screen which says....Account information you have recently had an issue on your account, if you are still experiencing reduced functionality call us on unknown. the broadband and phone are working fine. i have a second tv box in the bedroom which is doing exactly the same as the other one. I was very clear when i was arranging the house move, in that under no circumstances did i want a new contract, i wanted the same contract as i had before the move, no changes to the package at all and it would finish in February 2025. I was paying £79 a month, which was due to increase to £84.86. My previous account number was removed and previous address was .............Looking at my first projected bill it is £299.86 and my monthly package £195.00.
I am now on day 3 of having Virgin installed and it's still not working, i would like my bill sorted to reflect the contract price i was assured i would be paying £79 (£84.86 after the price increase) and that my contract will expire in February 2025, i would like my tv services to work as before. The engineer kindly returned yesterday and was still unable to resolve the issue, it was his opinion that something had not been activated correctly.

I would like to be compensated for the services that you have failed to supply correctly, and for the utter inconvenience i have gone though. this severely dents my confidence in Virgin media, if you cant sort out a simple home move. I have been a Virgin media customer for over 20 years
this was the reply.....
