Missold by door rep

I spoke with a virgin sales rep who came to my door.

I agreed a deal for 500 Broadband with Mega TV with sky sports & movies! Why? Because he said id get it for £51/£52 a month!

Alas, 2 days later i get a text with a document that says i'll get broadband with just standard tv for £39.99... i then discover its another £53 to add sports & movies...

So ive been missold / passed around call centers & told sky im leaving...for nothing?

How do i cancel the install or get the deal i was promised? I have the lads name / number & contact card.

Thanks!

    If you have the contract in writing your in a good position to just cancel for mis-selling / attempted fraud.

      Its a legit person & they did setup the vm stuff...just not as promised at all. I spoke to hjm on call to finish setting up & he took sort code & acc numbers etc. Then after finding out today he ignored my text & phone call. Hes employed by VM...but shouldnt be. So this needs to be dealt with before he rips off more people & id like my deal to be sorted out!
