Hi @Joseph_B not sure about your confusion with question "How can customer make sure that VM Payments Ltd does not claim to be surprised at contract termination and try to claim late payment and payment handling fees?
Virgin Media does not comply with the Ofcom One Touch Switch deadline of 03 April 2023.
No ISP's comply with the One Touch Switch. Ofcom has expanded the deadline because none of them were ready.

"Consumers looking to change broadband providers in the UK will be unhappy to learn that the UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom, has confirmed a delay to the introduction of their faster and more extensive One Touch Switch (OTS) migration system – possibly by 6 months or more – because ISPs are not yet ready to support it."
How does customer stop their broadband service with VM ISP provider and start a new service with a new Openreach provider? VM M200 Contract ends 22 May 2023.
You need to give VM 30 days notice to end your contract as per the /Terms_and_Conditions
How do I end my agreement? – See Section N
• You can cancel this agreement at any time by giving 30 days’ notice.
• If you cancel this agreement before the minimum period has finished (and not during the cooling off period) you may have to pay an early disconnection fee. We will tell you how much this will be before you cancel. You can find out more details on the early disconnection fee and process by visiting the Legal Stuff section here early disconnection fees.
To cancel you need to contact VM as per the methods indicated on the following page :-

If you don't want to be tied up on the phone you could also you can text VM on 0753 305 1809 or speak to the team on WhatsApp on 0730 532 7112.This often takes 4-6 hours- phone calls take priority. However, it's taking longer at present due to the price rise emails.
