parked order

Tuning in

So like many others it would seem I ordered a phone last night, was given a delivery date of tomorrow and entered all my bank details etc. I received the email with the link that goes no where....doesn't even work..."we need more information" . Surprise my order is parked!!!

I have a virgin media broadband package account and have done for some time, this is the main reason I decided to sign up for mobile with them, so realistically what needs verifying??

I have called this morning and after much going round and round in circles was told by lady that my order is with the back office team?? Within 24 to 48 hours they will call me to agree my credit agreement. I replied that no where whilst I was clicking through the agreement did I see this information and that basically my delivery date was a lie....

I said if I am not called by this evening I will be calling again to cancel the whole thing. She assured me that she will put updates on my account to let the back office team know this?? Then she tried to talk me into putting another one or 2 sim only deals onto my account....really?? I mean really?? 

Anybody else been called back?? I'm starting to think I should just call and cancel. Does anyone know a number I can ring, as I seem to get stuck in an automated loop as I don't have an account as yet.

Any help please? Thanks

Done an order today for iphone 11 and getting this order parked

Anyone able to help?

Thanks

I placed an order a few days ago and it was parked. I got a call thr next day and they told me I wasnt able to have the phone, but would I like a sim only deal instead... if I wanted a sim only deal, I would have applied for a sim only deal. I told them no and they said my order would be cancelled

This has happened to me also, I went through the whole process online yesterday to have my order parked.  I've had my current mobile through VM since 2015!!!!, so put in online for an upgrade last year when a page appeared saying "woolps your order has been declined cannot offer you this service at this time", so yesterday the whole process seemed to go through ok, got a notice on screen telling me they have to check my details an someone will be in touch, I unfortunately missed the call so called them back, was waiting for 1 HOUR to be connected to an advisor, then had an automated voice telling me GOODBYE and was disconnected, I was beyond furious by this point. Went to online chat where an advisor gave me another number to call, I told the woman I spoke to on this number someone tried to contact me already but she was not interested, just kept saying someone will call me back!!!!!!!!. So not holding my breath, I'm sooo sick of this company been a customer for my tv, phone, and broadband since 1997 when it was NTL. It's the iPhone 11 I ordered have been accepted initially by another company for the same phone but the deal is not as good, but this will be the last chance I'm giving them, if not I'm definitely off elsewhere, absolutely disgusted with them

I placed an order 4 days ago and it says parked. I received a call 2 days ago saying that they were looking into it but have heard nothing since. How long does the process take? I have a sim only contract and TV/Broadband with virgin too. Just seems a bit of a hassle so far 

Hello Luce2912

 

Thanks for taking the time to contact us in regards to your recent order and welcome to the forum.

 

Can you confirm if the order was for Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile services? Can you confirm how you raised the order? Have you received any correspondence in regards to the order?

 

Thanks
