I've just received a email from virgin stating that they are still waiting for my old device I traded up with the threat of having to continue making my payments on my old freestyle contract until they receive it.
I have proof of postage and Royal Mail tracking shows it was delivered 2 days after posting. This whole process of upgrading to a new phone has been a terrible experience. Where do I stand legally on this if Royal Mail say they have delivered it and Likewize say they have not received it?

thanks for trying to help Ash
I contacted the sales team as advised and basically they just passed it on to Likewize asking me to contact them, so looks like Virgin are washing their hand of it!!!

Did you get this sorted? I sent my phone in which they received on the 10th August, then I got an email to say that they haven’t received it yet. I checked my tracking and it had been received.
how did you get it sorted? As there’s not much I can do till Monday morning

Thanks for your post on our Community Forums, and a very warm welcome to you!
Sorry to hear of the issues you've faced when trying to trade up your handset.
On what date did the E-Mail arrive to you?
This may simply be a case of the E-Mail arriving to you after this has been received.
Kindest regards,

I received the email at 12:15am this morning.
I’m not sure if I put my unique number in the package that I was told too. So I don’t know how they’ll know it’s from me. I’ve emailed them my proof of postage and the IMEI number of the phone and make and model.

Hi sgilkes8,
Thank you for reaching back out and for the further information, as you only sent the phone in on Wednesday 10th August it can take a little while to reach us, Please allow 2-3 working days for Royal Mail to deliver your device to us. We’ll send a text to you the day we receive it. In some cases delivery can take longer, so if you don’t hear from us within 5 working days of sending, you should contact Royal Mail on 0845 774 0740, you can find out more around trading your phone in here.
Regards
Paul.
