Contracted service change hasn't happened
I'm due to start a new contract today. I'm changing from M125+TV+phone to M250 only. The change was agreed on 07/12/2025 but is due to take effect today due to the 30-day notice period. The new contract is still showing on my online account dated today, but the online account is still showing my old services - it actually says the old contract ends today, but the new one is supposed to start today! Although the phone is dead (not very unusual - might start working again), the TV is still working and my broadband speed is still M125. I've tried rebooting the router twice (7am and 1pm). Max traffic rates 143750047 and 22000047. Please could someone look into this?56Views0likes2CommentsHome Move - Virgin Media signed me up to a new contract without my consent
Bit miffed as today I found out VM have signed me up to a new contract without my consent when I moved the existing service to a new house. I’ve been reading several similar threads on this website and sadly it looks like there are lots of people that have had this happen to them over the past few years. I submitted a request on the 17th Dec via the website to move my existing service to a new property. I originally took out my contract on 8th Nov 2024 for a duration of 18 months, meaning my contract is supposed to end on the 7th May 2026. I also called and spoke to customer services on 18th Dec to confirm the contract end date, which was confirmed as 7th May 2026 and declined to start a new contract. My old property was disconnected on 21st Dec 2025 and new one up and running on 22nd Dec 2025. I did not change my package, just the address. Today I discovered that VM have started a new 18-month contract at my new address, paying a lot more than I would have ever agreed after the promotional period is over (in May 2026). All of this was done without my consent!! I called the customer services and was then transferred to the home movers line, only to be told I need to pay a disconnection fee of over £1000 because VM put me on a new contract without my consent. The lady I spoke to, although polite, was absolutely useless and sadly I have no faith that she will resolve this for me. Seeing as various people have had this exact same problem, I thought it would be worth a shot to reach out via here for assistance. All I want is for VM to honour my initial contract, which should be expiring in May 2026. Thanks in advance, Victoria68Views0likes7CommentsNetflix removed after contract renewal
I have just had a call from VMO2 regarding renewing my contract, I was happy with my price and I confirmed by asking that all my services would stay the same as my current contract. The caller confirmed this was the case, so I agreed to proceed. not 5 minutes later I get an email from Netflix and virgin media saying that my Netflix had been suspended due to removal of my payment method. And it appears Netflix has been removed from my account. How do I get this back as online chat seem none the wiser. Feel annoyed that it appears to be a mistake from the rep or that i was lied to.25Views0likes1CommentProblems trying to speak to someone about changing package
My current package contract runs out at the end of January and the price hike is crazy. The kit I'm using is also old, so definitely not worth the price. My broadband isn't good enough for my needs either. I've tried to speak to someone about it and it is so difficult. Just trying to use the automated system is impossible. I eventually got through to someone, but I couldn't understand them and they couldn't understand me. I asked to cancel my contract and said I no longer wanted to be a virgin media customer. Why is it everything so difficult? I just wanted to speak to someone to see what was available to me.82Views0likes5CommentsStopped getting bills. Cannot login to account.
Hi, I've stopped getting bills by email, and I don't seem to have access to any that give me the account number. I think it's a linked email account expiring or something but it's most inconvenient. I know I'm in area 22 but I would like to get a bill posted out to the account address so that I have a paper copy of the account information. Could that be arranged please? Obviously private message for address details etc.21Views0likes1CommentNetflix 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.Solved4KViews2likes114CommentsCredit not being applied to account
I'm not sure if this is the best place to get this resolved, but I'm having trouble getting promised credit applied to my account without being brushed off by Virgin Customer Services. About two weeks before my contract was up for renewal I was offered (after quite a lot of hard selling by the Virgin accounts team calling me every day) a new broadband contract at £43 a month. As I had two weeks before my contract ended, I waited until nearer the renewal date to confirm I was accepting this offer. When the time came to actually arrange this contract I was told that the £43 price no longer applied, despite me having the contract documents already emailed to me. The new contract sent to me was now £57 a month. After a fair amount of back and forth and a lot of time on the webchat, I was told that the price of £43 a month could be matched, but would be applied as credit to the new contract. Having signed this contract, after a few months it became clear that the credit was not being applied. I contacted Customer Services, and again after quite a lot of time and webchat exchanges, I was assured that the credit would be applied. Now having just received my latest bill, again the credit has not been applied. I've emailed Customer Services to raise this issue, only to be told that there's no evidence of me accepting the £43pm contract- despite me having the contract emailed to me, and transcripts of the subsequent webchats of the fiddling about to get the price back to what it should be. I'd really like this resolved to the correct price, as in the current situation I definitely feel like I've been missold on the existing contract due to assurances on credit given to me. Again, I'd really rather not do this in the public forum but it does seem to be a much more efficient way of getting Virgin Media to actually do anything since Customer Services seem to be a bit ineffective.24Views0likes2CommentsContract renewal link faulty
I'm trying to renew my contract via a link texted to me today, but get the 'oops' error message that the page doesn't exist. It seems to be a common issue on this forum. I have no intention of renewing at full price - who am I best to contact to arrange the discount offered?37Views0likes2CommentsNetflix included for free
Hi, I’ve been trying for a month now to get Netflix access free as part of my Virgin subscription which I believe I’m entitled to, but failing badly every time I contact Virgin customer services. I renewed contract in September, but I’ve been advised during calls and chat I need to renew again to access Netflix free as part of my Broadband and Tv package. Happy to do that, but every time I try the price for the new contract inc free Netflix goes up almost £20 a month, so not free, and much more than the standalone Netflix cost. Can you help or advise. Thanks.30Views0likes2CommentsDisconnected 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.39Views0likes1Comment
