Shall I Cancel ?

I was connected to Virginmedia broadband and calls a week ago, but several issues have arisen since then -

  1. I was told my landline number which we have held for nearly 60 years would be transferred over to Virgin two to three days after installation. It wasn’t. Customer services inform me this will happen on the 23rd of October. Why such a delay?
  2. Under OFCOMS recently introduced “ONE TOUCH SWITCH” I was expecting my old service to end automatically but it is still running in tandem with the new. Customer Services tell me to contact my old supplier which surely isn’t the case under “ONE TOUCH SWITCH”. I do not relish paying for two services at once.
  3. I switched via an offer on Martin Lewis’s Money Saving Expert and was expecting a £100 credit to my account which is confirmed on my order summary email. I have instead received a £35 credit - £65 short!

You can imagine my disappointment and regret at leaving my old supplier. I hope these problems can be rectified by someone please. Thank you.

  • After giving VM Forum Staff the chance to sort the issue out, on this simple, online form, please let the telecoms regulator OfCom know about your experience of contract and switching issues.

    Ofcom have been investigating various complaints since 2023, but many customers have not reported because they did not know or thought it would take lots of time.

        Thanks for coming through to us on our Community Forums DisappointedNow, and a very warm welcome to you!

        I'm sorry to hear of the multiple issues experienced with your switching over to Virgin Media from your former provider.

        Check out the envelope in the top right hand corner for a private message from me, and I'll seek to combat all issues raised.

        Thanks

  • Is the private messaging an incredibly slow system? It is now 24 hours later and I am hardly any further forward.
