Incorrect billing

Can someone from Virgin help me please.  After problems with my TiVo box an engineer replaced it with a 360 box.  He took the defective Tivo box away with him. A short time later I received an email saying that I had to return my Humax box or pay a fee of £90.  Initially I was confused as to what a Humax box had to do with Virgin and it was only whilst I was on the phone trying to sort it out that I happened to look at the label on the underside of the 360 box that I found that in fact it was manufactured  by Humax.  I explained to the assistant that the Hunax box was the new box supplied by Virgin (she didn't seem to know) and she said that she would sort it out and I should disregard the email. A month later I got a similar email, I again contacted Virgin and was told it would all be sorted.  A month or so later my 360 box developed a fault (it would not let me record any programmes).  I was unable to resolve the issue and so I called an engineer out.  He resolved the problem by resetting the 360 box and it now works fine.  I mentioned the emails to him, he looked at my records on his tablet and he said something had been mis- recorded  but he would sort it out.  Well guess what I have now had £90 added to my latest bill because presumably I still have not returned my 360 (Humax) box.  How many times do I have to tell Virgin about this problem?  Can someone advise who to speak to make sure that Virgin's  records are correct and I am not repeatedly ask to pay for equipment which I am already paying a monthly fee to rent.

  • Thanks for reaching out to us Bobvisual, and a very warm welcome to you!

    Sorry to hear of the issues with the request to return the set top box to us, despite this seemingly not being the case.

    Please check out the envelope in the top right hand corner for a private message from me.

    Thanks,
