Impossible to cancel package

Hi, we have been trying to change providers and cancel our virgin package because we have been experiencing poor service on WiFi and through customer support but we cannot seem to get through to any support staff. We have been on both chat and WhatsApp for the whole day with no reply. It's getting stupid now. Any advice to cancel our package?

Re: Impossible to cancel package

See this
_________

See the link -

https://www.virginmedia.com/help/leaving

To cancel with with 30 days notice

1) Call 150 from a VM phone or by dialling 0345 454 1111 - select options 1,1,4,4, - thats the UK based retentions team - but calling at 08.00 is the best time to get through without being diverted offshore I would record the conversation too. "TOP TIP: If you're struggling to get through or are tired of waiting in the queue - you can try Virgin Media's cancellation and retentions department directly on…. 0800 952 2277 or  0800 052 2001 - no guarantee of getting through there either though

-- OR --

2. Cancel In writing to…

Virgin Media
Sunderland
SR43 4AA

Include dates, name ,address and all account details. They say to also include your phone number so they can call you to confirm - probably to make you an offer to stay.
Do it by registered mail next day delivery guaranteed and with a receipt for signature on arrival.

Whatever you do DO NOT cancel your direct debit until the final bill has been settled or or it will cause all sorts of issues you dont want.

Some information on cancelling & early disconnection fees are here...

Re: Impossible to cancel package

Thanks for you advice but we haven't had any luck on the WhatsApp either. We said we wanted to cancel but they changed our package without us saying we agreed to it. We just want to cancel the package without getting any other or deals

Re: Impossible to cancel package

You really need to cancel in writing and send it recorded delivery with a signature on receipt.  That way you will be sure your request will be actioned.
