Hi 
I have sent an email on the 23rd November but not had a reply 

Hope you are well

I have been in touch with one of your colleague today regarding the old account which was still in my name.
As far as I knew my account should have been closed down and the account should have changed into my sisters name as I have moved out the property. 
As they had changed the services to BT who agreed to pay for the final bill 
I have just only found out the account is still in my name and therefore has put a mark on my name which I wish for you to remove. The account should have been put into my sister's name which I was advised would happen but you college failed to put this into her name and left a marker on my name 
this has impeded me so much financially.

Yes do keep an eye on it, because I'm not 100% sure that this has actually been sorted out!

You seem to be asking for a transfer of authority for a VM account, ie someone else takes over responsibility for the account, payments, contacting customer services etc? No?

In fact this hasn't been possible for some time, in the past VM did allow it but now, other than in the case of the death of the account holder, this simply can't be done. I do suspect that you have been lied to misled by whoever you spoke to on the customer services team, as they simply didn't know the answer and said whatever you wanted to hear! Still; got you off the phone and they chalk up another successfully closed call, so not all bad!

Bottom line, I think you are still legally responsible for that contract, despite assurances, I don't think it has been transferred and removed you from any responsibility.

On the other hand, maybe it has been done, well that raises another issue, there are quite a few threads on here where a member of the forum team, who are VM< employees has outright stated that such a transfer of authority can't be done now, so someone's misinformed, or mistaken, or outright lying, no?
