Repeated Unauthorised Netflix Charges on Virgin Media Account – Anyone Else Affected?
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Back in April, a Netflix subscription unexpectedly appeared on my Virgin Media bill. I never signed up for it and have never had a Netflix account linked to my email. I contacted Virgin Media customer service, and to their credit, they removed the charge and recredited my account. I assumed that was the end of it, but the same charge has appeared again on this month’s bill. This time, customer service informed me that they are unable to remove Netflix subscriptions and that I need to resolve the matter with Netflix directly. This is confusing and frustrating, especially since Virgin was previously able to remove the charge themselves. I have no way to contact Netflix, as I don’t have a Netflix account or any email address associated with one. The subscription appears to be entirely tied to my Virgin Media account. I’ve come across several online reports and even media articles highlighting that others have faced similar issues. I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem recently? I’m getting nowhere with Virgin Me dia support and would appreciate any advice or shared experiences. Thanks in advance.32Views0likes1CommentUnexpected new contract?
Hi, I am writing this in hope of a resolution and an explanation to my issue as I am lost at how to get support. I took out a virgin media contract at my previous address for the 1GB volt package. I moved last year in June to a new house and transferred my package to my new property. I was assured the package & pricing would continue as normal for the remainder of the contract. However, today I received a bill for the FULL package price without my discount as the discount has supposedly run out, however my contract does not end until November. I don’t understand why my contract has not ended and why I am getting charged the full price. This is completely unwarranted and not what I agreed upon. It has definitely tainted my perspective of Virgin Media. I would like my service to either: (1) be cancelled and the original contract honoured, or (2) for the discount to be reinstated for the extended contract length and for the extra amount paid this month to be credited back to me.I haven’t received the return package nor the label
Hi, I have cancelled my services long ago, my services has now also been disconnected and I’m still haven’t received a single email on when to expect the return package and label therefore I’d like to state in writing my dissatisfaction and my refuse to pay any incurring “penalty” you try to put on me as I have even tried several times to ask for a label following the instructions on your webpage however it doesn’t work once clicking on it! “Sorry! Oh, crikey. We can't find that page” that’s the message we get! please rectify this situation asap! Thanks!Outstanding balance on account
Hello I just received an email stating I have an outstanding balance on my account of 75.90, which is my monthly payment and was due on the 11th June. I have checked my online balance and it is showing as not paid, yet according to my bank statement it clearly left my account on the 11th June as expected (reference available). Going back, my previous payment also successfully left my bank account on 12th May. Is it possible to try and work out what is going on here? Thanks.Solved848Views0likes43CommentsContract Renewal Online
Like many I have a renewal offer for my contract which ends next month. The renewal states: “choose this deal and keep your current Virgin Media plan without losing anything”. So, this deal should mean absolutely NO changes to anything I currently have and it is for £2 less per month than I’m currently paying. It states there will be a price increase next April of about £4 and the contract is again for 18 months. If that is the case then I’ll likely go for it but…… Before I click the renewal, can a Virgin Rep please confirm that my current Netflix Standard (without Ads) will remain that way? If not then I’m sorry but Virgin are attempting to mis-sell, a problem I’ve encountered before, hence my question. I did try contacting online chat but they couldn’t access the deal to confirm but did say that if I accepted it, then found anything had changed - including a NetFlix downgrade, then yes, that would be mis-selling and I would (again) have grounds for this to be corrected and compensated by Virgin. Sorry to be so negative, but something always seems to goes wrong at renewal! Thanks, NeilSolved165Views0likes11CommentsFirst bill after renewal
I’ve had an absolute nightmare of late. My contract was coming to an end, Virgin contacted me and I ended up accepting a renewal with an upgrade to Virgin 360 plus at long last an upgrade on my hub from the 3 to the 5. So it was supposedly a self install which would take me 15 minutes. What a joke that was - received the kit on the Tuesday engineer had to visit on the Wednesday, Thursday AND Friday - bless him he’d never had such bother and I had 3 days of being inconvenienced and now everything is up and running I’ve had an email saying my next bill is for the ridiculous amount of £186 when it should be £131 (new contract is £120) - I’ve tried phoning but the automated stuff is so infuriating I end up hanging up, I’ve tried chat and they were of no help at all, asked Shiny to have someone call me - I can’t do that as I am the web chat team. Honestly driving me mad!65Views0likes2CommentsLied to about EDF
So I've messaged virgin media three times over an early disconnection fee over WhatsApp. All 3 times I've been promised the fee would waver. Guess what? It's been nearly a month and the bill still sits at it's final amount and I've gotten absolutely nowhere. It's no use messaging WhatsApp because they'll just lie to you. For anyone thinking of joining/renewing their contract AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!More Virgin Media generated problems- this time billing issues...
hi as per title i have had an email saying i am late to make a payment - and could be subject to late charges however, i only joined VM a few months ago and its not possible to sign up without providing direct debit details - plus the account has been fine for several months - so i can only assume its some issue VM have generated. i am loath to call the general "customer services" line or chat with them as in my prior experience this has only resulted in them creating a catalogue of additional issues without resolving the one i am actually contacting them with. can anyone here assist ?91Views0likes4CommentsDefault - from missing equipment
Morning all A little help would be appreciated please. Until last year I was a VM customer, broadband only. I cancelled as the increase in prices were too much, and decided to take my business elsewhere as VM are terrible at looking after existing customers. Payment history was exemplary, and apart from VM not wanting to retain an existing client, all was left reasonably well. I received the letter informing me to return the modem, way after disconnection it has to be said, but promptly returned the product in the prepaid box. I then started to receive letters and an outstanding bill for £65 stating unreturned items. I emailed, called twice and informed item had been returned. One agent promised to call back, that didn’t happen!! To my horror, I have recently discovered after a decline in credit, a default has been registered against my name by VM for this very £65. This is outrageous, and even after me chasing and informing of the product return, absolutely no notice that a default notice was about to be applied. Has anyone else experienced this and what is the best route to get this disastrous company to act quickly to remedy? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you49Views0likes2Comments
