Unwanted Homeworks + Monthly contract reset

[imagiro]

Hi,

I recently called support because I am not getting a good enough WiFi signal in my house.

However, during the call, I was signed up to HomeWorks, which I was not told would add an extra £18 per month onto my bill. I'd like this removed, and to be refunded the extra amount I've paid in my last two bills as I have not used HomeWorks at all.

Apparently the cost of the service is £9.99, however my bill has gone up by £18.99.

Furthermore, it seems my monthly contract was reset, and I have to start the 18 months over again. This is ridiculous - especially I want to leave Virgin as soon as possible.

Please advise!

Thanks

 - August
