Well I didn't want to do this but people need to be aware. I have never in my life been so angry and disappointed in a service. So last November I tried to sign up to virgin media but due to an outstanding debt I couldn't, I agreed to pay the debt in full after 2 weeks, everyone was happy with this. A few days later a agent rings me from virgin media, I explained once I've paid my debt I can sign up, he tells me that it's OK he get the debt wrote off its fine. So yes I was happy, virgin is the only company that offers the speeds I need. So a few months later I realised I had no bills or northing in correspondence from virgin. I was waiting for my account number to sign in online. I then get a letter from virgin mobile offering me a contract mobile but the name on the letter was Samuel Howe, my name is Samantha [REMOVED]. I asked virgin Mobile where they got this name from, they said virgin media. I then called virgin media to be told my name, email, phone number were all wrong. The email I'd never heard of, the name is a man and to add insult to injury my phone password had been set up but how because it wasn't me! I made endless phone calls to be passed from one to another, I've sent emails and got nothing. Is sent a letter to head office last week as I need this sorting and then all of a sudden no broadband, no warning, no letter, no nothing! Just cut me off. 26 members of staff I spoke to the other day and only 2 of them tried to help, the lengths the call centre staff go through to avoid your questions is unbelievable. The fraud department cut me off. No one can turn it back on, so now in 4 days I've spent 70 quid on data because I have 3 kids and a husband that's a student and likes his xbox which does not work without Internet. So through the whole of this traumatic experience I have been asked to provide my driving licence and marriage certificate to change my name, this wasn't good enough, then they asked for my deed pole information from when I was a man!!! Come on for God sake I've never been a man! I am a woman! Always have been always will be. So now 4 days with no broadband and still no answers to what's happening. I get told the fraud team will call you, have they? NO! I figured I'd try and sign up in my name, but no declined because of the situation, so I decide to go to sky and guess what nope because virgin are still showing as my supplier. They have left me in a mess knowing full well my situation. I now have 2 kids off school isolating next week and I can't buy more data it's expensive but the point been I shouldn't have to waste my money! Spending that extra has a knock on effect with my other bills. I have been treated like I did this but no I didn't do this the agent that signed me up purposly put the wrong details in so I wouldn't fail the credit check for my debt to get his commission, well congratulations to that idiot you have well and truly caused a very stressful situation that could of been avoided. I hope you loose your job and get done for fraud! Now I've had my rant on here because no one else listens, now everyone can listen!!!!! Ever seen the simpsons episode where Mr burns forgets homers name well that's what my life's been like talking to virgin media. Can I speak to the account holder? I am the account holder! I'm done 😢
