I recently got in touch to let you know im moving house. However, the email i have recieved with the new account details within the contract that i am to pay £49 a month which is much more than I was paying, they have also extended the contract for another 12 months. THIS IS COMPLETELY WITHOUT MY CONSENT. Within the chat with the agent I specifically stated that I do not want any of my services changed, just simply changed to my new address. Today I have spent HOURS on hold to different departments and no one has been remotely helpful. I think its absolutely outrageous that virgin can get away with their appalling customer service. Since no one on the phone has any idea about literally anything, I am hoping that it can be resolved via the forums.

Hi Zach,

Hi @Bilsta,
Where does it state that you're now in a minimum term contract?
Thanks,

When I login in to myvirginmedia, it says:
Latest bill
Hi, it looks like you’re new here. As soon as your services have been installed you’ll be able to view your bill summary here.
Underneath this text, there's a purple button that says 'view contract'.
When you press the purple button it takes you to a page where there's a red button that says 'download contract' which when pressed downloads a pdf with my contract details.
Thats where it says I have an 18 month contract which started on November 2nd and goes until May 1st 2024.
Again, I made no changes to my package, all I did was move.

Hi there
I too have the same problem. I moved into my new address and had an engineer install on Wednesday 14th December 2022. I have moved my exact same services from my old address but when I have received my contract it has extended the length to 18 months ending 13th June 2024 instead of 8th June 2023.
I have tried calling customer services on 2 separate occasions but nothing has been done.
Could you please contact me to sort this out.
Thank you

Hey AD-VM, thank you for reaching out and a warm welcome to the community, I am sorry to see you are having some contact issues.
I have taken a look and I can see you have been in touch with customer service recently, did they manage to get this resolved for you? Thanks

Hello,
I have the exact problem. Moved houses on the 17th of December, and was told that the new contract is a placeholder, which would change once my service is activated. It was activated yesterday, but no changes have been made. I just spoke with people on the live chat and they transferred me from one department to another with no clue what I was talking about. Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Dominik
