New customer - acc not linking to VM app
I placed an order for TV and broadband on 29/10/25. Unfortunately VM didn’t add a phone line therefore this required me having to cancel and redoing the whole order! The issue is that my account isn’t showing my correct order. It’s displaying the first order, which has already been cancelled. I’ve spoken to customer services but they don’t seem to know what to do? Can someone please help me? I’m losing hope. Why is everything so complicated? At this point, I’m considering cancelling everything and sticking with my current provider. I’ve been on the phone nonstop for the last three days!12Views0likes2CommentsNetflix Activation
Hi Everyone, I’ve got Netflix free as part of my package but I never received an activation email. I was already a Netflix customer at the time I moved to virgin media. On Sunday I spoke with Virgin via chat and was promised an activation email would be received within 24hrs! Nothing arrived. on Monday via chat again promised 24hrs and nothing arrived. On chat again Tuesday then told it will take upto 5 days but it’s Friday night now and I have zero faith anything will arrive or change. i can’t activate via the entertainment services page as that just gives a generic error. also raised via phone (almost impossible to speak with an actual person) with complaints team but again can’t see anything arriving on a Saturday/Sunday so we won’t be watching Netflix is my guess. Has anyone got any advice or been through similar. Starting to regret the move away from SKY.Solved1.1KViews0likes39CommentsClosing bill Not Received
The final bill has been paid £386.91 20/10/2025 and the account has been closed and all services disconnected and router returned I still haven't received full pdf invoice closing bill as I need to forward this onto my new internet provider asap.

Hi, My contract was up for renewal, so using the MyVirginMedia app I accepted a renewal deal and received email confirmation with the Contract Information Sheet. I spoke to someone earlier today as I was told my account was not showing the update and he said that, as he was unable to match the deal offered online, I just needed to wait 14 days for it to appear. I then received an email this evening saying 'We'd like to talk to you as it appears that some information that we need to process your order was missing'. So I called again and the lady told me she was unable to match the online offer so she would transfer me to another team who would be able to help. Whilst on hold the call was ended by the team before I could speak to someone. Please can someone contact me urgently to resolve this issue and ensure my deal is activated. Thanks, Shannon90Views0likes3CommentsNew customer - install delay
I had the initial technician visit, and as the previous tenant had virgin media. There's a VM box on the inside wall. I was told the cable had been cut, and he couldn't complete my install that day. They sent an appointment for two weeks ahead, with the caveat that the cable has been mended or whatever they do. I was also told that it would be a few days! They also sent me an email saying there hadn't been VM in the property before, when there quite clearly has been. I think it's ridiculous having to wait all this time. I've had no email or phone call from the engineers as they said would happen, and I just don't see why it's all taking so long. After reading about some of the delays on here, I'm seriously considering cancelling and going back to sky. Totally fed up, and wish I'd never bothered with Virgin Media. [Mod - title edited for clarity]Contract Renewal not gone through
On the 5th of October I renewed my contract via the app at a new cost of £73.76 a month on a 24 month plan. My latest bill has come through today for over £100 (almost £20 up from last month) and according to the app I am still showing as up for renewal but now at £75.15 a month. I have no idea why the first contract renewal hasn't gone through, no idea why the latest bill is so high and no idea why I'm still being offered another renewal at a higher price. Is renewing via the app a known issue for it to go wrong?5 month delay - install cancelled - compensation?
We moved house at the end of May and wanted to bring our package with us. We were told it would be installed the day after we moved in. That was then pushed back by 2 weeks...and then another 2 weeks, and then another 2 weeks...for 5 months! Right the way up until 2 days ago when we had an email saying they couldn't supply us and our account was being cancelled. I'm aware we are now due significant compensation for delayed install from Ofcom. I spoke to an agent yesterday who claimed we weren't entitled to this. I quoted Ofcom guidelines to them: they said they'd open a complaint to arrange compensation. I received an email today: they resolved the complaint today under the reason "Customer Experience -> Agent or Technician Professionalism - Internal feedback provided". I've raised another complaint... By my maths, we're owed for every day since the initial install day, plus 30 days notice, plus the discretionary compensation they offered in calls (e.g. credit for a new 4G router). It's well over £1,000 at this point. What's our best way of getting the compensation we're owed actually paid via cheque? Support have been terrible, constantly telling us incorrect information and now telling us twice we aren't owed any delay install pay. Thanks for any helpWorst Customer Service
I have been trying to sort out my account for over 3 months and have never had such a debacle. Had 2 different contracts, spoke to numerous employees and still can't resolve basics. Thought I had it all sorted last month with another new contract but yet again Virgin promised much but delivered nothing. Spent over 2 hours on the phone that time and now just spent 40 mins then I got passed to my 3rd agent who promptly cut me off deliberately. Has anyone else ever dealt with such a poor organisation who are completely inept? So, infuriating when the staff employees cannot read previous notes or don't listen to you? Then pass you onto another agent where you have to keep on repeating yourself endlessly. Anyone from Virgin got the courtesy to try and sort this out? Rather than on of your Employees who said best thing to do was leave, I am starting to think I should have followed his advice.66Views0likes4CommentsSwitched From Sky But Still Charged For Both
When I switched from Sky in The summer I was told Virgin would inform SKY of my change of broadband but I had to tell them myself about the change of TV. I have just had a call from SKY saying they had not been informed by Virgin and so I have done so. This means that I have been double charged for 2 months for my broadband service. Who do I speak to to get this refunded. My understanding is that via the Ofcom ‘One Touch Switch’ process, Virgin are obligated to inform SKY about my switch. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/phones-and-broadband/switching-provider/easier-than-ever-to-switch42Views0likes2Comments
