Online Renewal Issues, Frustration and can't get any information

I'm frustrated and very confused with Virgin Media's online renewal process. My contract ends 6th Dec 2024. I have the ultimate volt package and was offered a like for like renewal online for a small increase so decided to renew online on Thursday (28th Nov).

After submitting the order, I received a pre-contract agreement and an order confirmation email. However, I have not received any further communication or updates regarding our new contract since then.

I have phoned Virgin a couple of times but either get staff re-pricing the renewal (at higher cost!!) or they cannot tell me when my new contract starts!!

I am very worried about this am trying to sort this before contact ends.

What is more concerning is that my online account now look wrong as

  • it says that my current package is expiring 5th December 2024 (but showing the new deal price) and 
  • the online renewal option 'Grab your deal' (same price) is there and I can select it again - giving the impression I haven't 'renewed' even though I have an order number.

I just want to simply renew at the agreed price so things just roll on for another 18 months but I have no confidence that the process is working as no one can confirm the new contract is in place. 

Please can someone help/advise how to make sure this online renewal service goes through.

      Hi Ayisha,

      I have the same problem but I spoke to someone last week who offered me a deal that I agreed to on the phone but nothing had updated online. Can you help me with this?

      No I haven’t received anything, an email or post about my new deal and online it looks like my previous deal has expired so my monthly price has gone up.
