Renewal, renewal

I went on the app, and saw that I had been offered a good renewal deal. I accepted and got the contract through soon after. Then, I kept getting further renewal offers, so I contacted the chat section. She told me that my contract had not been 'signed off', but offered me something similar. Again, I got the contract through, but the renewal offers kept coming. So this time I phoned. Again, I accepted an offer, got the contract through, but my app is still saying 'contract up for renewal', and sending me further offers. Has anyone else had this problem?

    How are they continuing to get away with this? Report them to Ofcom.

      And report to Trading Standards. Bait and Switch is illegal.

    Seems the 2nd post on this thread about 'bait and switch' tactics by VM has been deleted, wonder why? 

  • Hello thecuckoosong1,

    Welcome to the Community, and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums. I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you’re experiencing with your renewal at the moment. This is far from the service that we wish to be providing, and I would be happy to take a further look into this for you. However, I would need to confirm a few details via private message. Please look out for my message, and we can get started.
    Kind Regards,
    Steven_L

      But it is the 'sort service of VM are providing'. There are plenty of threads on here of customers accepting offers, being told its not available, then being given more expensive ones.

      Its common 'bait and switch' practice by VM and illegal.
