Virgin literally chased me to come on board.
1. They didn't send a technician so I don't have PHONE OR INTERNET at my business in the most damaging week of the week in retail!
2. They sent kit to wrong address
3. They have marked my account as residential Still at wrong address
4. They are not answering any emails from me
5. They are pressuring me to open another account.
6. No callback from manager
It goes on... even down to They have rescheduled another engineer for later than original and "if I'm not in They will charge me".
Complete Joke

Are you a business customer trying to set up a business account with 'VM Business'?
If so, you are unlikely to make further progress on here as the forum is for residential customers/accounts only.

But according to point 3, VM think it's a residential account.
This is not going to be easy to resolve. As far as VM is concerned the OP has been signed up so they have no incentive to sort it out.
If KHJewels1 is still within 14 days of a residential account being connected they would probably be best off cancelling now and starting again. Perhaps with another supplier.

I'm a business customer but Virgin set 2 accounts (2 different addresses) as residential. They have admitted its their error, arranged an electrician to put in something temporarily to at least give me some sort of service while they sort out their error BUT the electrician never turned up to install the box, no communication from them, and no reply to my emails. I've got through on phone to complaints and they have done Nothing about it. I have no phone and no Internet now...

I also cannot access the website as they haven't sent me log in details that work ...

If they have said you are a residential customer, the 14 days only starts when you are first connected. If you haven't had any working service you can cancel now.

I cannot access any private messages !
Update, I finally had an engineer in last night who STILL had the wrong address on the system (despite me correcting Virgin MANY TIMES) but used his common sense to ring me first. He is going to complain for me and try and get it sorted though I have zero confidence in Virgin now.
At least I have a phone and Internet not slbeit on an wrong type of account!
Thank You all for your help..
