Why is it so difficult to close my account? There is complete lack of online contact information for virgin media. I am currently not in the UK so calling the various helplines is not an option. There is not a single email address available for customers to contact. Filling out a long and laborious online form just infuriates people further, and no doubt increases the volume of complaints. I wanted a quick and easy option to close my account as I am leaving the UK, and have spent over an hour trying to do what should take less than five minutes. Consider this the 30 days notice for account #[REMOVED]**. I will no longer be reopening my account on my return, and will advise friends and family against doing so.

Sadly can't request account canceling via the forum need to either call in or write to virgin media

Can call via +44 345 454 1111 choosing options 1-4-5 thinking of leaving us, could call via Skype etc

Also if you see this in time please edit your posy and remove account number

Appreciate this but can't currently speak so need to write online. Also want this to happen asap so i don't get charged for another month. I've cancelled my direct debit with my bank but can't believe how difficult it is to do something so simple.

Could try via the online chat via http://contact.Virginmedia.com but if memory serves correct only phone or letter

'There is not a single email address available for customers to contact'

legally companies are not required to have an email address. it does not work for a company the size of virgin and what they do.

'i've cancelled my direct debit with my bank'

this is not a good idea. money owed will generate a late payment fee and all that goes with it. particularly if you are not in the uk. they will also want equipment returned if it is a v6 and the current hub.

writing is your only option

Hi romainoebruneau,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community 🙂

I am sorry you're cancelling but I'll be more than happy to assist.

I'll pop you a PM so I can grab some details to assist further.

Kind regards,
