Waiting for call from management after a complaint. How long is it likely to be?!
Sorry but this is long! A month ago, I told Virgin I was moving house through the messaging system on their website. I requested to see if there was a better deal than my current package as I had been on it since 2014. What I expected to be a quick chat, turned into over 2 hours - they said they were experiencing technical difficulties. The operator told me there were 3 options that were better and then told me option 3 was best which was for volt with an O2 sim. She told me the broadband was better, (I believed it was M500 which can be boosted), free Netflix with adds, and I thought my tv would be at least the same or better. I am usually a cautious person and so asked many questions and felt her increasing, persuasion to accept option 3. E.g. ‘so, shall we go with option 3?’ My chat messed up and was keeping previous chats so it became very hard to get the correct points across. I was worried to come off the messaging as I would potentially have to go back through it all and with the pressure of moving house, accepted. However, it turns out she put me on Volt 350 and mix it tv which is worse than my original package. We have lost loads of channels. I am out of the cooling off period but called today and spoke to retentions as I feel they have messed up (been a customer for years). They offered me different packages at higher costs. I just wanted the package I had been told I was getting at the price I was quoted and that I had accepted. It has been sent as a complaint where I now need to wait for management to call me which can be 7-10 days whilst putting up with the pathetic number of tv channels and recordings we can’t watch. I was told it would be over £1000 to cancel the contract should I go to another provider. Awful- especially as they messed up originally. So, how long have others had to wait for call from the team please?
Account Recovery
Hi, I have been trying to recover my Virgin Media account as I cannot find the email and password that I used to create it. I have tried using the "Forgotten Email" link but when I do this and provide the Surname, Account Number and Area Code from my most recent bill I get an email of "x****x@virginmedia.com" (obviously the x's are filled in with other characters). When I then try to log in using what I believe that email address to be (any some other variations as well) I get an "Email not recognised" error. Given that I have forgotten the email and password I used to create my account it is not much use to not give me the email I used to create the account, or alternatively email me the address to my the email used to send me monthly billing messages (which is a different email address). I have tried calling the 0345 number but I am unable to get past the automated menu without providing characters from my memorable word which I also cannot remember but believe that I can access this from my online account. Can someone please help me recover my account as I have queries regarding my package and my latest bills and I cannot do anything without recovering my account and determining what my memorable word is!! Thanks in advance, please help!!2 month delayed install following move, but no refund on bills and reset contract length...
Straightforward really. VM gave me a confirmed install date in early August (house move). Eventually installed at the end of September. Have just receieved first bill...for full amount and with a 'new contract' date. Was expecting £6.24 delay compensation x 55 days, and also expecting my existing contract to be maintained rather than being re-tied in to a new one. Am more than slightly disgruntled. Best course of next steps? So much for automatic compensation scheme...feels a bit devious tbhAccepted renewal offer online 2 weeks ago, no sign of it in account & no contract received.
Hi, I accepted an online offer on the 29/09/25. I received 2 emails, one with an order reference number, and another with two pre contract documents. There's been nothing since. I checked the account to see if there has been any progress and nothing. We have actually just had a bill generated with the higher cost of our old contract. The contract is due to run out in the coming days. I hoped the online process was going to be a lot easier, and I was happy with what I've been offered, but now I'm stressed. Can any of the Forum Team help me?No confirmation email of contract nor delivery date
I signed up for virgin media and received an email with with a summary of my order, an estimated delivery date of the 11/10/25, and a statement saying I would get a confirmation email with my official contract and actual delivery date. I have since received nothing from virgin media, and the estimated delivery date was not correct. Help?Big trouble with contract renewal & current bill
I have a contract with Virgin paying £43 per month with my contract due to end soon but I renewed my contract on the website and got a confirmation email on the 7th of this month for £43.16 per month. The problem is, when I view my current bill due on the 22nd of this month, it has shot up to £113.95 with no explanation. I know the contract renewal can take a few days to kick in but I can't understand what is going on with my current bill, it does not make any sense to me? Is there anyone here from Virgin who can assist me? Thanks so much, AshNew contract set up without my consent after moving house
I moved from a flat into a house and virgin media cut me off early due to the new tenant enquiring about getting Virgin Media in the same flat. That issue was sorted about a reconnection, and I thought that would be all done. In the process of trying to get reconnected, I must have given my new address to someone at VM because unbeknownst to me, a new account has been set up in my name at my new address. I have explicitly stated that I would not be taking Virgin Media with me to my new address, and have correspondence saved to prove this, so I was shocked when I have received a bill for £122.29 for a new account in August. I can't access this new account, as my email is only associated with my old account, which I have paid the final bill for. Who can get this issue rectified as I will not be paying the £122.29 I have received a bill for as I never asked for the services, have not received the services, and explicitly stated that I did not want the services. I have cancelled the direct debit to VM as I am sure that any money taken in eror would not be returned.
