anyone else being misled on new contracts

[gwilson6838]

It is increasingly obvious to me that retentions and live chat are telling customers that their new contracts will have no price increases during the life of the contract then sending out a new contract where this is contradicted. I have.written back saying I reject the new contract, have a verbal contract and asking for sars to back up my claims. If this was the case when you negioatated a new contract do not assume because you have a print out of the live chat this will be of any use. If it is over 120 days you will also have a problem with getting a sar. my question is “is this a deliberate ploy by VM and if so shouldnt Ofcom do something about it”

Hi @gwilson6838 thanks for your reply.

Many of our customers who join us take promotional offers for a period of time which will be fully honoured. These customers will all receive a price rise communication, but the 2023 price rise won’t be applied until after their offer price promotion ends. Their communication from us will explain this. 

If you have agreed a contract recently, then it's possible that this letter you have received is relating to your old contract, not the one you've recently agreed.

If there is an issue once your next bill is generated, please let us know.

Many thanks

that unfortunately will not meet the promise not to increase payments for the life of the contract. This would still leave me liable for an inspecified increase in April 2024
