virgin media help for vulnerable customers

[lyndaT1]

this morning i have tried 31 times to actually get through to a UK call centre on 6 of those calls [india] knew nothing at all about registering as vulnerable

i kept explaining to the call center worker i need customer servises because i need now to register as Vunerable customer as i receive basic pension and pension credit plus PIP as i am disabled

But to no avail they knew nothing bout such a  thing and kept offering me packages

and each time i told them i dont want to look at packages i want to register vunerable

Sorry but im at my wits end now 31 calls in the last hour and im still in the same place i was 45 mins ago  NOWHERE

Hope some one can help get me through to UK coustomer servis

Hi Lyndia, 

Thanks for taking the time to post in the Community. We're sorry to hear you've had issues registering as a vulnerable customer. 

This is something we can certainly check for you but in order to do that I will need to confirm some information with you to pass security. 

I have sent you a direct message to allow us to do this with you in a private space. Just click on the little envelope at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox.

Thanks,

Thanks for sticking with me on this one via private message and for updating me. 

I'm glad the teams were able to help sort a new package for you.

Thanks,

Are you saying because you wanted to register as vulnerable you are going to have to pay more?
