The Netflix team

Got this email from Netflix on Friday. Since then have been unable to sign into Netflix via any of the VM apps or My Virgin Media page, keep getting message saying something is wrong please try again. Numerous phone calls to VM and Netflix over the weekend and today without any joy Netflix is included in my bundle but cannot sign in.

Is there any chance that someone could get back to me with a fix for this issue. Nobody has replied to my last few posts

@Fuz

The forum team are now saying we need an IT ticket raised , with a resolution in 3-5 days.

Although I was also told this on whatsapp 8 days ago and heard no more....

@Tractorboy. Cheers for that. But it would be nice for someone from the forum team to have got back to me with this information. 

I was promised that a couple of weeks ago too!! Great service!

Hey everyone,

So my experience is that once to get the illusive email the button in your account changes to manage Netflix, then this takes to your Netflix subscription within virgin media.  I had to ring the support team at least 20/30 times, I’d call every day, maybe 2/3 times, eventually I got someone who was able to log a complaint for me, after asking maybe 10 times, some agents point blank refusing to allow me to make a complaint, some just “accidentally” cutting me off, the day I was due a call back from the manager I got the illusive email.  

The manager acknowledged my complaint and could see if phoned a few times, and gave me £40 compensation, I do have another gripe which I’ll deal with tomorrow, I was charged £4.50 for 1 weeks worth of Netflix usage, which doesn’t add up,  however that’s a separate issue.

This whole Netflix thing has been an utter shambles though, some of the team didn’t even know we had the option to have Netflix on our packages!
