Stuck in O2 contract after Virgin cancelled order/installation

I order the £70 offer Virgin Media volt package on 13/12/23 (£45 TV and broadband, £25 O2), the Sim came within a couple of days of the order, the original installation date was the 29/12/23 this was then moved to 18/01/24 which is fine. I then received an email on the 15/01/24 saying my order has been cancelled by the construction team. I'm not stuck in an O2 contract which O2 want over £400 to cancel due to the cooling off period of 14 days being exceeded. I've been unsuccessful negotiating with O2 and as it was Virgin that sold me the service I would like them to cancel the contract and ensure I will not be charged and maybe even refund the 2 months of O2 i'll be paying for, I've yet to activate the SIM card as it was really unwanted it was just a sweetener for the package.

Is it possible to report this somewhere? as I feel it was sold as a package deal and the package hasn't been delivered as sold or delivered at all to be honest.

    O2 do have a way of dealing with this but it does require Virgin transferring you to a special department at O2. Their normal Customer Services can't deal with this scenario
