Impossible trying to get a clear answer from Virgin!
My latest contract with Virgin stated on 3 June 2025. At the start of July, I received an email asking me to upgrade to 360 because my equipment was out of date. The new 360 remote duly arrived but would not pair with my old V6 box. I spent over an hour on a call with an agent from Virgin, during which I was told to reset the V6 box. This caused the box to crash and enter a "doom loop" of screens (Welcome / Getting started... / Deleting, sit tight this could take up to an hour). The agent eventually admitted defeat and said that I would get a new 360 box and that an engineer appointment had been scheduled for 29 July to install it, and specifically confirmed that there would be no additional charge.
Shortly after that call ended, I received a new, updated contract for a higher monthly payment amount. I can't get anyone (either on phone chat or web chat) to explain that to me.
I have also received a text saying that the engineer visit tomorrow has been cancelled and rearranged for a day when I am going to be away on holiday. I called 150 and was told it had been a "technical glitch" but that the visit was definitely scheduled for 29 July. I checked on my account and it said that I had no engineer visits booked, so I entered a web chat (over 90 minutes ago, and still going!), during which I've been told that it was rearranged for 30 July, 31 July, 4 August and now 11 August.
I've submitted online complaints but that can take 28 days to resolve. In the meantime, I have no TV service and a more expensive contract that the one I agreed to less than 2 months ago. How to I contact a real person at Virgin who can resolve this for me?
