Switched off paper billing, still getting charged.

Hi, I switched off paper billing approx a year ago but am still getting paper bills and being charged for it.

Went to see what the setting was on and cannot find it anywhere. Seems it's very well hidden now.

Can someone tell me where to find it please!

  • Hello Cherryjam.

    Thanks for your post.

    Sorry to hear that you are still being charged for paper billing.

    Can you try the steps below and let me know if that helps?

    1. Register or sign into My Virgin Media.
    2. Click My Profile at the top of the page.
    3. Scroll down to the eBilling section and click Switch to eBilling.
    4. Follow the instructions on-screen.

    Once you’ve registered for eBilling, we’ll send you an email each month notifying you when your bill is ready.

      Hello, it happened also to me, I asked more than one year ago help (after hours holding at the phone) and for 3 times the operator said the paper bill charge was not active anymore. After more than one year I still receive paper bills and pay for that. Can you please help me?

  • Hi thanks but there is no My Profile section anywhere on that page.

      Many apologies, 

      Once you have signed into MyVM are you able to select Account Settings.

      From there Account Details.

      Then under Communication preferences you should see an edit button, select that and select eBills/Email//Text.

      Let us know if that works,

        This is what the virgin call operator said but I also can confirm that tick box is already selected and has been for quite a long time now.

         

  • Hi, yes I can confirm that tick box is already selected and has been for quite a long time now.

  • Hello forum team,

    I am also receiving paper bills (at £1.75 a go) despite my account details / communication preference having always been set to “eBills / Email / Text” can you please assist? This is not the first time I’ve received paper bills, at cost, despite this setting. 
    thanks

        Hi

         

        I am having the same problem not being able to switch off paper bills.

        Numerous phone calls and have even written a letter but to no avail.

        When I follow the advise I end up with the option to delect "eBills / Email / Text/ Post" which I have done numerous times.

        Why post should be on the same selection as the other is a mystery to me.

        Can you advise
