I spent many weeks trying to get through to customer services to cancel my contract after it ended in March 2020 where the monthly payment almost doubled. I eventually got through to someone in October who dealt with everything for me. I was given a cancellation date of 20th November. This must have gone through as I got a call the following day from a man trying to talk me into staying and became very rude when I said I didn't want to. Shortly after this I noticed my bill had a credit balance and after some searching on here i saw that this would be sent to me as a cheque. Realising last week I had never been sent this I logged into my account to find out it is still active and I have been getting billed at £19 per month. As this was being debited against the credit on my account then I was not aware. I tried calling customer services but they were not even taking calls as the line just continually disconnected. I am now in debit and worry that this will affect my credit file. Can anyone help me please?

Hi Zaidee,

Thank you for reaching out to us in our community and welcome, I am sorry to hear your disconnection request doesn't look like it has been actioned.

I have had a look our end and I have managed to find your account and action is required, so I can help further and discuss this with you, I will send to a request for a private chat, please click on the purple envelope to accept.

Hi,

I am also having a similar problem- I cancelled my account on 5/2/21 as I sold my property and had spent the 2 weeks prior to moving trying to speak to someone at Virgin Media to close the account. When I finally got through I was told my account had been closed and was sent an email titled Disconnecting your Virgin Media services and confirming action had been taken. However, I have now received further bills (which do not say they are final bills or acknowledge credit for the period since I have lived in the property). How can I speak to someone to get the account fully closed and stop further bills for a service I am no longer using?

Thanks,

Lily

Hi ljohnston, thanks for the message and welcome to the forums. I am sorry to hear that you are still being charged following a disconnection and this should not be the case, when was the disconnection booked? We would require 30 days notice for all disconnections. ^Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply. It took 2 weeks for me to get through to Virgin to disconnect the service so I wasn't able to give the full notice period. I understand that means I may have some bill to pay but I was told when I finally got through that I was being disconnected and I would receive my final bill. I haven't received a final closing bill and am just receiving normal bills and charges for unpayments. I don't know what I should be paying and it is very hard to get through. Are you or another colleague able to help me resolve please?

Many thanks,

Lily
