Virgin won't honour contract

irgin sent me this offer to renew my contract for £19,after inputing credit card details when I clicked on place order it kept crashing so I called support today and the girl signed me up to a new contract,she said her manager told her to put it through for £35 but applied a discount on it to take it down to £19, but she didn't applie the discount after saying she did on the phone,I noticed in the contract email a hour later they sent that it was for £35 and nothing mentioned about the discount to take it down to £19,2 hours later and pulling my hair out on the phone I still can't get this resolved,every one of them were incompent,I was hung up on,left on hold for 25min

  • Hi hash70 

    Welcome back to the community forums

    Sorry to hear of your contract concerns. If the credit that was agreed was a rolling credit, you would not see this on the contract as this is a credit applied out side the systems to correct billing. We can see on the systems at our side that you've since spoken with the team and have confirmed this for you. 

    Please let us know if you are having any further issues or have any questions at all. We'll be here to help on the community forums if needed :).

      This admitted practice by VM is outrageous - perhaps OFCOM would like to arrange a team of forensic auditors to have a look at what goes off in the billing department

        Hi Hash70 👋 Thanks for getting back to us. 

        Sorry to see this has still not been resolved for you. I will send you a PM to confirm a few account details so we can ensure that any hidden rolling credit is correctly active for your billing. 

        Just to let you know, if there's a hidden rolling credit, it won't appear on your contract or in your My VM account when looking at your 'package price' 👉  virg.in/myVM but it will show on your bills each month in the breakdown (Credits and discounts section). 

        You can find the PM in the top right corner of the page in your Inbox. 📩 We can then return to this public thread with another update when possible. Thank you for your patience in the meantime!

        Wishing you all the best. 🌞

      I sense your frustration but if the staff can't clear you on the information you have provided then I can't see how they can be reasonably be expected to proceed.
