Credit Score Ruined! Mortgage Declined

[cpoynton86]

Hi Virgin Media, after numerous attempts at trying to call and get through to someone I have been unsuccessful. I am reaching out to you in utter desperation, like many others in this thread, as I held an account with yourselves back in 2013 - 2016 I believe. I paid all my bills and then moved out of the property and cancelled my subscription. Fast forward many years later and I am finally in the position to get a mortgage (deposit in hand) for me, my wife and my 2 young children. The only thing that is now stopping me is that Virgin Media have been reporting default / missed payments on my account for the last 7 years! I have received no letters or correspondence advising me that anything was owed - if this was the case, I would happily pay. Please can you report urgently to the 3 credit reference agencies that in fact my account is clear and remove all negative marks from my account since 2016! This is ruining my life at the moment as we face being homeless being kicked out of our rental property and simply not being able to be approved for a mortgage solely based on these incorrect markers from Virgin Media. I look forward to your reply. Thanks

Hi Gareth. As it’s been so long I have no way of obtaining my account number or virgin telephone number. Is this something you can help provide? Thank you

Hello cpoynton86. 

We are unable to advise of account details, 

If you put as much information down as possible. Address where the services were. Our Consumer underwriting Team will be able to trace the account.

Hi, cpoynton86, I’m shocked and angry to see your experience. You're not the only one. I’m suffering the same mess now.
