Trying to cancel within 14-day cooling-off period
Hiya, Like many others on this forum, I have not had a great experience trying to cancel my virgin media broadband contract within the 14-day cooling off period. My request to cancel within the 14-day cooling off period was acknowledged to have been received, but they have repeatedly insisted that 30-day notice period still applies, leaving me with a final bill that includes charges for over a month of service, when at most I should be charged for is 11 days as I cancelled 11 days after the activation of the service, which is when the 14-day cooling period starts according to the T&Cs. From what I can tell reading the T&Cs and reading others' experiences on this forum, I'm pretty confident that no 30-day cancellation notice period should apply within the 14-day cooling off period. Is there anything more I can do to convince them of this? If they continue to insist I will ultimately have to take this to the ombudsman. The complaint reference is C-1002254 in case that helpsCooling Off Period Issue
Hi, first post. I know there's probably a few posts on this subject but one that are specifically what I need. I signed up with VM Broadband on the 7th Sept, but due to some recent building and electrical work my house is wired up one way, long story short I need to go with someone on another network. I'm still within my cooling off period and as the contract states, all payments should be refunded, but they've done the old 30 day thing which pushes me out of the cooling off period and means I have to pay a certain amount. My issue is that my virgin media isn't connected, I'm not using any of the services, I haven't had an engineer out or anything. Every time I try to go through this on chat they try to "pass me onto the team" and it puts me back into 60+ minute queue. What's the point of having the cooling off period? I literally have no broadband and I'm being asked to pay for using something I don't have Any help appreciatedSolved1.2KViews0likes2Comments
