Virgin not honouring contract?

Good afternoon all,

on the 25th march I upgraded my broadband package to include megaTV and sky sports + Sky cinema. I was quoted £86 for the new package which included M350. I received my pre contract info and everything was as expected. 

fast forward to the next day (26th march) and I received an email titled ‘thanks for making those changes’, which had my new contract in. However the price was £50.73 for the agreed package. 

I phoned up Virgin to confirm what price I would be paying and they said it was the £50.73 package which had a discount included. 

now, in the App it’s saying my monthly bill is £86, even though the contract says £50.73. I’ve questioned it again and they are denying all knowledge of the cheaper contract, even though it’s in my active contracts on the website! 

has anyone else experienced this? Or know how to deal with it?

  • It's not much comfort I know, but if you look at recent posts, mine included, this seems to be a common problem at the moment with one deal being offered and then the contract saying something entirely different. Hopefully the forum team here will pick up the case for you and sort it.

    Yes, this seems to happen very often, suspiciously so.

    Hopefully a VM person will offer to help, but beware of offers to "look into this" that will drag you over the 14 days cancellation period.  Otherwise you may be trapped at the wrong rate for 18 months.
