Moving home to non virgin home

We are moving home in 2 weeks but virgin is not available from our new home, not sure of process, we have 5 months left on contract, but i have read that if you provide proof of new address in 30 days this is waived. Also i have emailed twice about getting a package to return equipment but still waiting 2 weeks later. Hope someone can help

    Hope you quickly settle into your new home.

    You need to contact  the Homemovers team by dialling 150 from a Virgin landline, or 0345 454 1111 from any other phone, but it's best to call at 8am to avoid call queues and they will process the account closure. (They  will check their database to see if there is any possibility that they can provide services at your new home. )

    If you don't want to be tied up on the phone you might find the online chat messenger service is availlable on the following page

    VM will still charge the early termination fees but will then refund them as long as you give them evidence, within 30 days of cancelling, of you residing at the new property. They will give you the details of where to send the evidence.  

    The accepted documents showing your new address are :- 

    bank statement, driving licence, insurance policy, mortgage information, rental agreement or utility bill

    The Home movers team will  also process the packaging so you can return your equipment. This is generally actioned after the account has closed.  You can also return your equipment to a nearby O2 store.
