Netflix account

Good afternoon, Virginmedia Account [MOD EDIT:PERSONAL INFORMATION REMOVED] Area 28. I am urgently seeking your help regarding charges that are being applied to my Virginmedia Account for a Netflix service  I do not receive.  I do not have, nor ever have had a Netflix service on my Virgin Media account.
In September 2023 a charge of £15.99 was added to my Virginmedia bill for Netflix streaming.    I spoke with a Virginmedia representative who agreed to deduct the charge.  This charge has been applied every month, every month I have telephoned explaining my situation, the £15.99 gets deducted from the Direct Debit.   I have received my January bill and the Netflix subscription of £17.99 has again been charged. I keep getting assured this chargi will stop.

i was advised to go on to my Virginmedia account and cancel   Netflix streaming on the Entertainment Services, I have tried this with no success.    My monthly package for Wi-Fi, television and phone service is £83 per month.   I have been a Virginmedia customer since 11th July 2002, joining when the company was NTLWorld.

I would appreciate most sincerely if this matter could be rectified as soon as possible. I am over 80 years of age and the whole situation is upsetting and stressful.

many thanks

Isabella

    Hi there Tom_W, I just wanted to let you know that Akua has been extremely helpful, patient and courteous with me and I cannot thank her enough for resolving this problem.   It had caused me a lot of stress and a few sleepless nights but all is well now and I am so glad I contacted you at community.virginmedia.com.   I would have no hesitation recommending your service to any Virginmedia customer who might need it.

    Akua said my bill will be monitored by you and for this I am very grateful.  I believe my account will be reimbursed for the £35.98 soon.

    Again many thanks for your attention.

    I am happy to hear that you got this resolved because I have exactly the same problem. 
    I am being charged for Netflix when I have never asked for it from Virgin Media or Netflix. 
    telephone calls etc have got me nowhere. 
    there is something very wrong that this is happening to lots of customers.
