I still can’t login! Months of trying!
Help please before I throw myself under the next bus! Virgin set our account up incorrectly when we signed up so they had to create another account. I have lost count of the number of times I have contacted and been assured it is fixed but it still isn’t! Today I can’t even try to log in, every time I try I just get an error message or just keep getting the login screen again. I get bill emails with the right account number but I can’t login to the account. This has been going on for months….I really wish I hadn’t joined and will cancel as soon as I can (although I won’t be able to until my initial contract ends even though the customer service has been appalling since the start!). Why does absolutely no-one take an accountability for sorting anything out?!£50 voucher???
I signed up using your student deal and supposed to receive a £50 just eat voucher?? Services have been active since the start of October and i haven’t received anything??? My partner was previously a virgin customer, we left and used another provider for a few years and i have signed up again and im disappointed in not receiving it :(Account not found when trying to log in
I enter my details into the My Virgin Media app as they appear on my bill when trying to log in, and it tells me that this account does not exist. After looking on these forums its obvious that this is not a unique problem, and I really need this resolved soon as I need to check if there is any outstanding payments that need to be made ASAP. Could do with getting in contact with a staff member soon as this is giving me a lot of grief.
A Decision from the Ombudsman
So after months and months from the introduction of the shambolic VM/O2 login which locked me totally out of my account settings for nearly twelve weeks, the Ombudsman has upheld my case, awarding a compensation payment from VM. When you prepare your case you have to fill in the section that asks you what in your view would be a satisfactory agreement to finalise the issue. Whilst the Ombudsman was reflecting on my suggestion of a public execution of a random ten senior managers, VM in the meantime countered with a legal loophole citing some obscure regulation that this was not within the contractual terms and conditions… even for senior VM managers. (Maybe ten was too many?! Perhaps 5 would have been accepted?!) Oh well! (PS … my compensation payment has now all gone to Cats Protection… and for anyone out there with an issue… look to the Ombudsman… It takes time, but it can be done!)Damaged Grey Cabinet
Hi, There are numerous damaged and unsightly grey cabinets in our village that I believe are owned by Virgin Media. I reported these a year ago but nothing happened. Can anyone recommend the correct route to get these repaired, the doors are constantly falling off and being tapped up which looks rubbish and doesn’t work. thanksMoving house and Virgin has started a new contract without my consent...
Hello, I have been a loyal and satisfied customer of Virgin Media for a number of years. In July 2025, due to personal circumstances, I planned to move back in with my parents, as a short-term agreement. Knowing this, I called Virgin to cancel my 18 month contract which was due to expire Feb 2026. They explained that the fee to disconnect early was very costly and so they suggested that I suspend the broadband for 3 months whilst I was moving back in with my parents. Their suggestion was that I then cancel prior to the new contract start date (Oct 2025), at which point the disconnection fee would be a lot cheaper. I thought this was a reasonable option so I said yes to going ahead with this (confirmed on July 15th 2025). As it happens, a friend was staying on in the previous tenancy and she offered to continue to pay for the original 18 month contract, due to end in February 2026. This would mean I would no longer pause the broadband contract and then cancel prior to October 2025 and instead just continue on with the 18 month contract and pay monthly as I had been doing in the years I have been a loyal customer to Virgin before. I called Virgin back on July 15th 2025, to say I no longer wanted to go ahead with the plan with moving house that I had discussed earlier that day and instead make no changes to the contract, just continue on until Feb 2026. Nothing about my package was to change, and I certainly had no wish to sign up to a new contract. I received an email with a new contract, but assumed that this had been cancelled, given I had a conversation with customer service later that same day, explaining I no longer wanted to go ahead with this. I discussed this with Virgin Media customer service and this was agreed without issue. At no point during this process was I informed of any changes to the terms of my agreement with Virgin Media, specifically that a new 18-month contract would be generated at the new address. As far as I knew, things would continue as normal, with the original contract, due to expire February 2026. Today, I have contacted Virgin Media after having been notified that there is a missed payment on my account. I was shocked to learn that Virgin Media have created a new 18 month contract on my parent's address, without my knowledge. They have suggested that I owe them £243.50 up to this date and then a further bill of approximately £1000 to 'disconnect' this service early. The purported contract was supposedly sent via email on July 15th 2025, however, given I had called them later that day (15th July) to terminate this contract, I was appalled to find that this had in actuality, not been cancelled as I had believed. This oversight feels misleading and deceitfully designed to lock me into a prolonged agreement without my explicit consent. Additionally. I am shocked to have been informed by the customer service team, that there is no 'validation' as to whether I consented to a new broadband contract or not. Notwithstanding that I have continued to pay in a timely manner for the broadband on the original contract, it is additionally presumptive to assume that one can access broadband at two different addresses with only one router (which has remained at the original address for the entirety of the contract). Nonetheless, Virgin Media expect me to pay out over £1000 for broadband which was set up without my consent, has never been connected for use, nor has it been utilised, particularly given that the router remains at the original contract's address. I am disappointed by the lack of transparency and clear communication regarding this significant change in contract terms, especially from a company that is meant to be a reputable service provider. Had I been informed of the initiation of a new 18-month contract, I would have been in contact far sooner to rectify the error which Virgin Media themselves have made. Furthermore, my attempts to seek clarity and resolution have been met with considerable resistance, involving being passed around various departments. I spoke to one man from Virgin Media, who helpfully agreed with the case I presented to him and informed me having looked at the transcripts from my conversations in July, that he would waive all costs associated with this new contract. He transferred me to the billing department, reassuring me that they would help to waive the costs. However, when I spoke to a customer service assistance in this new department, she informed me that there was 'no evidence' and 'no transcripts' from my conversations and that I would owe the full bill amount. It seems absurd that members of the customer service team cannot come to an agreement with each other, let alone be able to access the same information regarding my case. When I stressed that I didn't agree to anything and that is the issue here, she remarked that there was nothing she could do to help, but to get her manager to call me back another day. I have no doubt these calls were recorded, both in July and today. I have submitted a subject access request, as it seems pertinent given the level of service being provided, as well as the consistent and blatant misuse of customer trust. I stated that I will be disputing this case and will take the matter further - it is unethical, unprofessional and should not be allowed to continue. I look forward to my conversation with the manager from the billings team which I have scheduled for this Wednesday 17th December, however, I have no doubt based on the customer service offered to me up to this point, that this conversation will not bring me any resolution. I have sought legal advice - whilst I am ready and willing to resolve this between myself and Virgin Media, I am prepared to take this matter to the Ombudstman, Ofcom and Trading Standards. In the meantime, the broadband in the address of my original contract has been cut off, which customer service have also failed to resolve. It is not surprising to me to see many others in this position (https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Managing-Your-Account-Cable/New-contract-without-my-permission-after-house-move/td-p/5388210) New contract set up without my consent after moving house | Virgin Media Community - 5661259 Moving House - Put on new contract without my consent | Virgin Media Community - 5517140 And to see that Virgin has historically been the most complained about telecoms provider this year because of customer service. Any advice on next steps on how I can get this resolved much appreciated. Thanks in advanceAccount problem - unresolved for 4 months
Hi. Since I was forced to create a virgin media O2 account I can’t log in and I go round in circles. My virgin media account isn’t linked and I can’t create the link. Called several times over 4 months, promised ticket had been raised with IT as none of the service support folk have been able to fix it and still no resolution. Means I can’t access my account online or log in to watch sky sports on mobile device (for which I’m paying) etc. Can’t even find a way to delete the account so I can start again and try to link my virgin media account from fresh. None of the help topics fix the issue. I can’t even log in to make a complaint formally. Help!!!!Please Help - Am I another ex VM customer?
I came to the end of my contract back in March 2025. At the time I 'web chatted' to re-negotiate and was offered a better deal to which I pretty much agreed to. I won't go in to all the boring detail, but since then Virgin have consistently failed to apply my new contract fee, fast forward to now I am still paying way over the odds each month >£94 for broadband & landline only, they claim to have tried to contact me... but they cut off my medically important landline (finally resolved this as they switched it to digital without giving me any notice). My daughter has a brain tumour, has lot her eye sight because of it and the hospital always phone on our landline, I made VM aware of this. I have sent numerous recorded delivery letters, which have been mostly ignored and a recent letter (October) agreed to put me on the new contract, but extended the term to 24 months, instead of the agreed 18 months from before. I have taken this to the Communications Ombudsman ADR, but they seem less than impartial and have clearly not reviewed the indisputable evidence I have provided them (I have every letter, every online chat and every recorded delivery reference - I have kept everything). Virgin have simple obfuscated at every turn, refusing to accept what they had previously said and agreed to... when provided with evidence they either just ignore it or say they don't have a record of this... when I am sending them screen captures of the chats I've had with THEM!!! I am exhausted and have wasted months of my time & energy on this. The Ombudsman doesn't want to know anymore and will not entertain me... what options do I have? I'm out of pocket, out of work because my daughter needs me... running out of money, and need my internet & landline to work - it does, but at an affordable rate. Virgin seem to know they have the monopoly in my small road, there are no other 'fast' broadband solutions. Where do I turn? What can I do? I doubt I can afford to take them to court, and if I did and for whatever reason I lost, I certainly couldn't afford that either! Help...My neighbour recently got connected but I'm not eligible for some reason
Hi, I've been actively trying to get Virgin to come connect my house for years now. Filling in the form showing interest dozens of times but have had no success in the 10+ years of living at this property. Recently my neighbour inquired about getting Virgin and had to get permission to have Virgin come and potentially run the line across my property. This has now come and gone and I know that my neighbour has access now. I've called to the customer support team to try and get an engineer out to survey/connect my property but only get transferred from department to department with nobody knowing what to do in this situation. Allegedly an engineer came out and decided it wasnt economically viable to pursue connecting the property but how come my neighbour who's further from a main road has been connected? I'd greatly appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks.
