Hi,
I was dreading renewal negotiations this year again, as I did not wish to invest hours on the phone, like last time, but had hoped things had improved.Unfortunately I think the service is even worse than before!
I firstly spoke with the renewal team who quoted over £130 per month to renew the contract, from £52.40, yes that is correct what a massive increase! I advised I would not be renewing so was passed to the cancellation department, the figure reduced to around £85, which was still too expensive so I gave instructions to cancel the contract from renewal the 10.10.23, the operative advised me not to cancel the landline until I had decided if a new supplier was to take this over.
On reflection the next day I decided to phone and check the cost, it had increased again! I decided then to just go ahead and cancel the landline aswell. As you may have guessed I had the pleasure of being transferred to disconnections, who tried to persuade me to keep the landline, the operative questioned why I had not arranged a new supplier, stating I could do it now. I explained I was time limited but he persisted with this line of questioning, which is totally unacceptable. I trust virgin media can listen to this call and offer some training, the call commenced around 12:50 and I eventually had to hang up at around 1.30 pm. One would think the operative would phone me back, as he originally stated it was a 10 minute job, but alas no. I am therefore assuming I have met my contractual obligations and all services will cease from the 10.10.23.
I would very much like the virgin media customer experience team to reach out to me to discuss the issues raised and explain why they feel their staff can interrogate customers as to how they use their time, this is intrusive and totally unacceptable.
I have been a long standing customer of virgin media but onto pastures new, in the hope that other providers can offer a good customer service.
Anyone else encountered this?
