Marketing consent

"Marketing consent" in MyVirginMedia keeps been turned off by Virgin Media sales people without my consent.

This kept happening, usually after sales calls where I say "no thank you" to the sales persons offer. They seem to interpret me not buying their sales pitch as an instruction to turn off marketing consent. I simply say that I'm not interested in their offer today. I have never told them to stop calling or to turn off marketing consent, and I have never been asked for my consent to turn it off.

And I am unable to turn it back on, website says "Sorry the changes you made were not saved, please try again later". I've been trying to turn it on for two months. 

This violates UKGDPR. Please may you investigate.

Also, I complained about this TWO YEARS ago and the same issue is still happening.
