I have made a complaint. I even have a reference number for my complaint.
The problem is VirginMedia have just stopped updating me. I cannot keep calling to get an update as I am on hold for at least half an hour a time and then more often than not the line cuts off halfway through. However, I cannot get in to see the status of the complaint online as when I go to my.virginmedia.com/my-cases/view it says that there is nothing there.
I really cannot wait until it hits 8 weeks and I can go to Ofcom.

It would be Ombudsman Services that you escalate a complaint to for a third party adjudication.

You can, however, share your unhappy complaint experience with OFCOM.
They launched an investigation into VM on 13 July 2023 specifically into VM's cancellation and complaints processes.
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/bulletins/enforcement-bulletin/open-cases/cw_01275
Case ref. no. and an email at the bottom of the above page or submit with same info via the contact form
https://ofcomforms.secure.force.com/formentry/SitesFormCCTMonitoring
Submitting information won't help your individual complaint but it will contribute to the OFCOM investigation and it sounds like your experience is directly relevant to the terms of reference of the investigation.
