Was told I was ex-directory, now told I am not...

Morning,

For reasons I do not want to go into my number and details must be ex-directory, I was told it was but then when I had to call Virgin about something else they said it wasn't, couldn't change that straight away as I had logged a different job and the two could not run together. She told me that she had put a note in her diary to call me back on Friday 13th May, I pleaded with her to cancel the job and just block my details - she said she couldn't cancel the logged job but 'trust me, I have it in my diary to call you at 9am and we will sort it out' - she didn't call me back. 

Sometimes there are real valid reasons a person wants to be ex-directory and whilst some people want to just avoid cold callers some of us unfortunately have more sinister intent against us and therefore need to be ex-directory and not 'I will sort it for you' and then fail. I have had to notify the the authorities that Virgin have my name and number in a directory now for anyone to access to alert them just in case I need them quickly.

She also said she had applied the withhold service on my phone to stop me having to dial 141 each time, which I just checked and she hasn't. In sum total Virgin Media you are putting my life and those I live with at high risk! 

Can someone please make contact and help a very scared person out. And for future when someone asks I need this service for my own safety please take it more seriously than you have my request. Scared, frustrated and annoyed.

Re: Was told I was ex-directory, now told I am not...

Hi @Emmyboo, thank you for the post and welcome to the Virgin Media forums page!

I am so sorry to hear that you have not been put on ex-directory and have had a missed call back. I can understand your frustration.

To get you on ex-directory is something we can do, and I will ensure that this process is done right for you and confirm it for you once done.

We'll have to go for a private message for this one - watch out for the purple envelope. 🙂

Thanks.
