Does anyone know how Virgin pay the previous provider's ending contract fee? I was promised this when I switched to Virgin from BT. Trying to speak to anyone on the phone is a joke! I've not received my first bill yet - will it be deducted from that?????
Who offered you the EDF pay-off as part of the VM deal? Was it a VM sales rep at the door by any chance?
Did you get the offer in writing?
Yes it was someone at the door!
Nothing in writing unfortunately.
From memory, I’ve never seen any posts here showing VM buying out Contracts?
I'm afraid you have learned an expensive lesson. You could try an official complaint to VM, but that will not get anywhere.
Oh I won't leave it at that don't worry! And I will get back the fee in 3 months for the lesser amount I'm paying. But its the principle really & its against Trading Standards law. I'm hoping someone from Virgin Media Team will get in touch. But I will be phoning/ texting the rep too until I get an answer. 😉
Good for you! Please update the thread, if only as a warning to other potential victims.
If you do get an answer from VM it will probably blame "confusion". That's their usual excuse.
Confusion? I call it blatant lying myself!😂 I would probably have waited if it hadn't been offered!
