Leaving Virgin Media

[Johnpitt2]

I have now decided to leave Virgin Media. I am using this forum because trying to communicate with the company is stressful. I have now looked at customer comments and reading Ofcom news I now feel I am not on my own feeling so disappointed at the integrity and service provided.

I have been with Virgin Media for 20+ years. I renewed my contract earlier this year and within one month there was £10.00 increase, this should have been factored in before the contract was renewed. Although I am retired, I will serious consider going back into sales working for Virgin Media competitors.

Thank you so much for your kind reply. I will probably not leave Virgin Media until the end of my current contract. I have no intention of going the stress of contacting them again.

Hi Steven_L When I sent my original email I was very frustrated because I will end up with a price increase next year meaning two increases in the same contract period.

Putting all that aside I want to be more positive. So that I don't have to cancel my contact next year. what options are available to me so that I keep enjoying Virgin media into the future. 

Thanks Steven for letting me have a bit of a rant.

Regards Johnpitt2

You do not need to stress as it can be done via letter.  Send a Recorded Delivery (for proof) with all you details and your contract details.  You can send your leaving request by post to: Virgin Media, Sunderland, SR43 4AA

VM will disconnect you in 30 days from receipt of the letter and will send you a final bill.  No need to talk to anyone.  I've done this twice for the times I've been with VM
