Negotiated new price but not being honoured by VM

I negotiated a new price online, on August 26th: £71 (maintaining the same level of service but upgraded to a 360 box from V6), yet despite having the contract documents, Virgin Media are refusing to honour the contract. I am still being charged at my old contract price, which is in excess of £100.

Despite hours of phone calls and hours on the online chat, I am no further forward. I have raised a complaint but today this is showing as closed with absolutely no update. Last night, I was informed the same deal will now cost me £173.

I want VM to honour the contract I have for the price outlined in the contract: £71.

Having read through some of the posts, I can see that this seems to be a common problem. What on earth VM? This is not acceptable!

 

  • If you have the docs/copies of coversations proving your deal, then you have them banged to rights. Even deals on the phone they record.  Same thing happened to me which I negotiated over the phone. Put a complaint in, they listened to the recording  then honoured the price. Bit of a hassle that I could have done without, but it doesn't seem uncommon.  ( but the diff between £71 and £173 seems a heck of a lot so somethings not right  - interested what you get for that type of money !)
