Signed for recorded cancellation letter ignored

We have whatsapp messaged, bot chatted, and phoned with no response/been cut off repeatedly. We sent a recorded letter to cancel the account on the 13th Feb 2024 to the Sunderland office. This was signed for on the 16th Feb 2024 but haven't received a reply from this avenue either.  Can I just cancel my direct debit?

    If you want VM to organise debt collectors and put a mark on your credit score then yes, by all means.

      Do you have any other suggestions we could attempt to try?

        You can wait a few days for a reply, however, the VM team on here cannot do much with cancellations.

        You can try the main helpline, but you need to phone at 8am when the lines open.
