I can’t switch to ebilling

This is just getting ridiculous. I have tried many times to switch to e-billing now. On the last attempt Hayden from Customer Service told me he had solved the issue after a very long and complex process. However, today yet  again I received my bill through the post. Clearly Virgin do not care about the environment or they would solve this issue which many people seem to be having. I also do not appreciate having to pay £21.00 extra a year for paper bills which I do not want and have tried to cancel many times. Why is it so hard for me to be able to switch to e-billing. Please get it together Virgin.

      Well Lee in Customer Support has now solved this issue. He was absolutely excellent and I now finally have e-billing. Thank-you very much indeed Lee- he has transformed this situation for me and I really appreciate the time he has spent on this. I thought it would be impossible to solve and I was giving up hope. Thank-you again : )

  • I completely understand how you feel. I've been in the same situation, and it’s so frustrating and helpless. Despite multiple attempts and assurances from customer service, I kept receiving paper bills too, even though I was trying to switch to e-billing. It's exhausting to deal with the same issue over and over, and the extra charges for something you don't even want just make it worse. Virgin really needs to streamline this process—you're not alone in facing this problem.

      Thank-you very much Boris,
      Yes it is exhausting and very frustrating. Countless messages and phone calls with advisors who also have no idea how to solve the e-billing problem. They are now trying to sort the issue again but I do not have my hopes up. There are so many posts about this- I have no idea why they cannot manage what should be a simple issue. I will keep you posted!
