forced to pay over £500 to leave virgin

in july i am due to move to my sisters home as i have  leg problems and i contacted virgin to say im moving and i cannot take my services with me  due to the  fact its my sisters home,she  has sky and dont  want  virgin media.

after  a  few  calls to virgin media they will not  release me from my new  contract,im a  week past cool down,because if the  area i move to has  virgin media  i am expected to take  my  services with me,which i cannot do,and round in circles we go,last bill could be aas  much as £500 plus,which i cannot afford as i am on a  pension.its hard to beleave that i have been a  loyal customers for over 15 yearts and i cannot get virgin media to understand  i am not allowed to take virgin media with me,even asked i could get a  reduction on mylastbill,say half,but no virgin want there pound of flesh.so i will move in july and run up a  big bill,thanks virgin media for you  not  helping  a  good  customer , i did all i could to reason with vvvirgin media but they just wont  help me,they say they cannot help me and wont  budge,thanks for nothing.

 

  • IMHO this is a suitable case for a discretionary approach given all of the circumstances.

    What is the specific issue that is stopping you from moving your VM services?

      The OP had mentioned his sister already has Sky, but yes he could in theory take VM as well and run both services in the house.  I have VM and BT at the moment, but not for much longer.

        He had mentioned "i am not allowed to take virgin media with me". I was wondering what the "allowed" bit referred to.

  • my sister does not  want or  need virgin media in her home as she  has sky tv and will not allow another service in her home,when i move in i will be using her sky  tv. she dont want or need the  disturbance.
