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!)
Disconnected Early and Massive Billing Increase with Home Move
I arranged a home move with the service/connection due on 29 December 2025, but today (28 December 2025) my broadband has already been disconnected, leaving me without internet to organise the remainder of my moving logistics the day before the scheduled move date. On top of that, I’ve just noticed my new contract monthly charge is much higher (£31.99 to £72 monthly for M500) than my previous monthly price despite no changes to my package and insisting to remain on the same service over the phone (despite upsells). I wasn’t expecting this, and I’d appreciate a clear explanation of what changed, and confirmation of the correct ongoing price. Can a VM team member please advise: Why the service was disconnected early (before the move date) How to get service restored immediately / ensure the move goes live on 29 Dec as planned How billing/credits are handled for downtime Why the monthly charge has increased so significantly I can share my account details privately via PM to a moderator.Junction cabinet in my hedge
Virgin Media applied to the local highways agency to replace a 85cm high cabinet on the highway outside my house in 2023. They actually put a replacement 1.2m high by 1.2m wide cabinet in my hedge, next to my drive. Earlier this year they dug up my hedge looking for cables under the cabinet and the hedge is now wrecked. I can’t replace it with a fence because the cabinet is in the way. I’ve tried complaining but four months later I’m just being fobbed off with excuses or promised callbacks which don’t materialise. I want to escalate the complaint but am not sure where to go. Is it Ofcom or the Communications Ombudsman?Cannot reset password
I can’t change my password nor have a passkey. Rang Virgin they said they would put a ticket into the IT desk and would take 2-5 business days. Not heard anything and still can’t reset. Don’t have a recovery code. When I rang the line was so bad and I couldn’t understand the person for most of phone call. My package is due for a renewal soon, considering not renewing due to the terrible service. HOW CAN I RESET MY PASSWORD THAT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE TASK!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.£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 :(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?!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. thanks
