Many thanks, looking on the Virgin website it suggests they send you an activation code 5 days after sign up. Today was day 7 days so I called them to chase and was told there is no Amazon no longer exists (they only added it to my contract a week ago) ...!
Virgin only signed me up for this on Friday as compensation for the issues experienced only to be told when chasing today it shouldn’t have been offered to me as expired. I upgraded my contract 2 weeks ago and since then I’ve had nothing but trouble.
if anyone from Virgin is reading this...
On initial delivery 3 weeks ago I had a TV box missing. When I called to get missing items sent they cut me off and we’re incredibly rude. I raised a complaint resulting in an email apology and a request to call back to get the missing item sent.
Called back to arrange only to be told can have box but will need to be additional cost (even though it was already on my contract doc at pre agreed price). They then retracted this, apologised again and arranged for the correct items to be sent. At this point they offered me 12 months Amazon as compensation (which was then added to my contract terms and new contract sent to me).
A week later had to chase for the Amazon activation code only to be told this should not have been offered as no longer exists (apparently expired a year ago)! After further discussion they apologised again and asked me to hold while they speak to their manager to sort this out and see what can be done. Then after 20mins on hold they cut me off again!
I called them back and finally spoke to a manager who agreed their handling of the situation is wholly unacceptable, he has raised an internal complaint and advised someone will be in touch within 72hours.
So in all to date, about 6 hours on the phone to you, 2 contract changes that you still can’t adhere to and 2 complaints later still no further ahead and still don’t have what I agreed at contract upgrade.
I see why they call it the “ultimate oomph” package as I feel right royally kicked in the xxxx’s
Sorry for the rant on this platform I’m just very frustrated with Virgin’s so called customer service and inability to resolve this very simple issue and have no idea how I can speak to someone who can sort the issue out.
Do you know who I could raise this with outside of Virgin to get this addressed and sorted? Is there a regulating body I should contact as the next level as I have tried everything to resolve with Virgin direct. Is it Ofcom maybe?
thanks again for your help
