Service Cancellation Not Processed Correctly

I signed up for Virgin Media broadband on 5 of March 2025, but the service never worked. After multiple long calls with technical support, I was informed that a technician would need to visit my property. I waited for three days from 8:00 to 17:00, but the technician never showed up. Due to this issues, I decided to cancel the service within the 14 day cooling off period. During the cancellation call I was assured that the service would be cancelled and that no bills would be generated, as the cancellation was processed within the cooling-off period. However, yesterday 19th of March I was surprised to receive an email stating that a new router is being sent that my first bill is due on 28 March 2025. This is unacceptable as:

  1. The service was cancelled within the cooling-off period.
  2. I never had a working connection
  3. I never requested a new router
  4. I was assured that there would be no charge

I wish to have any outstanding bills cancelled and a written confirmation that my account is closed with a zero balance. Also, I with to stop the shipment of the new router that I never requested. Does anyone can help me on how to proceed from here?

  • Hi Vivian1,

    I'm sorry to hear you're leaving us, and that you've received an unexpected email regarding the bill and equipment delivery.

    I'll send you a private message now so I can look into this for you and determine what's happened. 

    Please look out for the envelope in the top right of the page and pop back to me when you can.
