Cancelling contract in writing

RaymondOS
On our wavelength

Hi All,

I realise there are a few posts on this subject already but...it could do with clarification.

Like others, I am fed up with price increases so I want to cancel my contract.

Other Virgin customers seem to be having a nightmare by doing this via the 150 number so it looks like cancelling in writing is the best option.

What do I say in the letter? Do I just quote my account number, home address and set a date 30 days from now?

The address I found in another thread is:

Virgin Media
PO Box 333
Matrix Court
Swansea
SA7 9ZJ

Is this still correct/

I have the basic TV, broadband and weekend phone calls package.

Thanks.

The only way I have been offered is via a text phone. I don't have a telephone and I live alone. (If you know of other ways - please advise.)

I have NOT refused to use that method. I CANNOT use that method.

No one on the chat can/will help and there is no direct email to contact them. Once there was when I first became a customer many years ago.

There should be more than ONE avenue for disabled customers to obtain help. Email is the only way I can directly correspond.

Even the SKY have an accessibility email access.

I also find it rather odd that you can take out a contract via a chat - give them all your personal details as well as financial, but come across a problem or need to change or cancel your contract and Zilch help. It is just a brick wall designed to deter you from leaving or changing your package.

Thanks for your input which was not helpful at all and to be honest, found it rather condescending.

Hi Kaz,

If you re- read my post you will understand why I am interested in cancelling via writing. I don't have a phone as I am speech and hearing impaired, so to advise me to telephone is not helpful.

 

 

 

My current package was set up via this forum with one of the moderators - like yourself. I don't understand why you can't give me  a price via private message.


To answer both. The post Kaz was replying to merely asked what were the prices for 100Mb Broadband, it mentioned nothing of disabilities in it, so the standard call in would apply to that message. Appreciate this is a thread with multiple people posting so could be another post in the thread with more (I don’t know I haven’t looked).

 

To the second part, Kaz is currently out of work on leave at the moment and is posting on her personal account from home (she misses the forums that much), as such she doesn’t have access to the work tools, just the same tools you/me/ any customer has to reply here. So sadly Karen cannot do customer specific details, but has linked the BB store which shows the standard pricing.

 

 

have to agree with Apcyberax though, options are there, just because the options provided are not the ones you want to use doesn’t mean they are not there. If you limit yourself then that is on you. Webchat is available (albeit extremely busy) as well.

Sorry Daisyboo

I'm trying to help while I'm recovering from an operation yesterday but doing so via my mobile not a PC. I can scroll back and forth by clicking on previous pages but it's a bit of a PITA (pain in the....) to do, so I'm helping in whatever way I can here with the posts I do see so Shafteya nailed it x

No condesention was intended and I'm a bit sad you feel this was the way it came across 😕

I'm sure one of the Superusers or Mods can flag this to be looked into for you so sit tight here and they will get to you soon. 

Take care.

Hi Kaz1505,

I got a letter from Virgin confirming I will no longer be a customer and asking me to return the equipment. They said they would send me the relevant packaging within seven working days - but two weeks have passed and nothing has arrived. I just tried to call Collect Customer Services on 0345 270 9888 and the number is not a live line. Can you please get the relevant people to send me the packaging as soon as possible? I can give you my account number, etc in a private message.

Thanks.

PS. Why have they sent me a letter quoting a phone number that isn't operational?

When is your disconnect date? You automatically get sent the packing after that date.

Hi RaymondOS

 

Sorry to hear you decided to leave. Have you received this packaging? 

 

Thanks

Wow, how hard can this be. Having to cancel my fibre broadband because I'm moving home and would love to transfer my broadband but Virgin don't supply to my new address. My first ever time calling so I don't have a password and can't cancel without one. Spent 20 minutes going through security questions to end up being able to do nothing and am now waiting on a password re-set (have no idea why, since I don't have a password) coming through so that I can phone again and progress my request. Odds have been slashed and all bets suspended on this actually working.

You couldn't make it up if you tried.
