Netflix overcharge

Since August 2023 I have been charged for Netflix. I NEVER asked or signed up for Netflix.I have spent 7 hours talking to eleven VM customer services agents. All agree and admit there is a “problem” and promise to adjust bills and to send emails confirming that the “problem” at VM end is resolved. Nothing. Only in November was I not charged for Netflix, so it must be possible.Netflix has no record of my name or email address affiliated to a VM account.This month, after eight months of being charged incorrectly for Netflix, I have been overcharged again.Contacting VM is a challenge in itself. VM customer services is lamentable, inefficient and useless. I hope that this forum is my last and final step towards resolving the issue. All I am asking for is to be reimbursed and stop being overcharged by VM.

    Sadly I think that like the rest of us you’re going to have to get “battle hardened” Nothing is easy with VM, unless you’re trying to make a payment when their response is almost immediate!!! Try to solve a problem and you’re in there for the long haul.

    In my case I have thought about contacting the Ombudsman but quite frankly was disgusted by the initial response which effectively told me that I had to allow them to carry on taking money from my account whilst I tried to resolve the issue and then only after 8 weeks could I begin a referral. My response to that was to say why should I allow VM to take money from my account wrongfully just so it satisfies some procedural “requirement”.

    To stop the “theft” I cancelled my DD but of course despite being told it would not happen I am being threatened by VM Billing Services with suspension
