Abysmal Billing/Collections & Support (Phone)

[itrytobenice]

Hi all,

I called for a billing issue to avoid restriction. 2 attempts at 10am, 2 attempts at 5pm. This is now 4 attempts & hours passing, trying to reach the Collections via the SALES LINE might I add. Remainig calm, I tried the listed number handed to me by Stephanie (in Sales UK) 0345 142 4444 but no, the machine tells me the number has been changed. So I've burned a day and got restricted anyway.

Just to sprinkle the salt, I usually get though but the call HANGS UP so it's usually 2-3 attempts via the Sales Line before you can get to anyone. There is actually NO WAY to reach Collections (Billing). I mean it, no physical way. We've been customers for 20+ years and they've successfully phased out the human connection for severe billing issues. 

Bravo Virgin.

Hi Itrytobenice, 

Thanks for your post and welcome to our Community Forums, I'm sorry you've been trying to contact our Collections Line with no resolution 😥

We now operate a fully online and automated system for billing, this would include any billing issues too. See here for more information if you can't make a full payment 👉 Virgin Media Bills & Payments. 

We can't take payments over the Forums and we can't set up a Payment Plan if you're struggling, sorry 😥 The link above has all the information needed to help in any financial situation. 

Once you've paid your bill, or made a partial payment to bring your bill below the cut-off threshold your services will be reconnected within 24 hours. 

See here on how to make a payment online 👉 Make a Payment.

If you need any further help or advice that isn't on any of the links provided, then please let us know.
