Hi, I joined Virgin media as a new broadband customer on 13th June, it said that I wouldn't have to cancel my old supplier (Vodafone). Yesterday I noticed that I'm still paying Vodafone, so I contacted them. I found out that virgin didn't do the one switch processes, therefore I'm still being supplied and paying for Vodafone as well as Virgin media. I cancelled Vodafone yesterday, a 30 day cancellation. So I will be paying for over 2 months for a service that's not used with Vodafone, as well as paying for Virgin media. I've emailed Virgin a complaint about this, and another issue (front garden grass left a mess after cable installation) but I've heard nothing back. Has anyone else had this issue?Self-install broadband didn’t arrive
I received the pre-agreement details for a broadband contract, but nothing was ever delivered (it has been over a week since the delivery date). I have since tried again, and received new pre-agreement documents stating it should arrive on Thursday. I would like to check the status of both of these as clearly I would only like one of them, and would like it to arrive this time. I tried calling 0345 454 1111 but the helpline requires an account number, which I do not have and seemingly cannot create. Would somebody please help with this, else I’ll have to take my business elsewhere.Can't access My VM Account Settings
Trying to link up my VM Account to the VMO2 IDm, and get the following error: "We’ve found your Virgin Media account. However, this account is linked to an email address that’s different to the one on your Virgin Media O2 ID. If you’d like to continue and link your Virgin Media account to your Virgin Media O2 ID, please confirm the full email address your Virgin Media account is currently registered to. We’ll then send an email to that email address to approve the transfer." I understand people have had the same issue too. As a new customer, this has been quite frustrating to not yet see a solution. Appreciate any help.Refund not received
My name is Sean and my account number is [MOD EDIT: Removed]. I was a Customer of Virgin Media for over 15 years and when it came to them taking my money on chasing me for late payment their system and processes were impeccable. Now I have left Virgin Media (over 5 months ago) I am being past from pillar to post to get back the £42.42 they owe me. I was originally told by their Customer Service Team that I would receive my refund between 25th March and 4th April but I am still waiting to receive my my money. I called on 10.4.25 after not receiving my refund. I spoke with one of their Customer Service Team Representatives who told me the system stated that I was refunded by bank transfer on 24th March 2025. He also informed me that there is a system error which needs to be looked into and someone would call me back on 14th April to discuss. Nobody rang. I called again on 02.05.25 after not receiving my money to be told that I will receive a cheque in the post within 14 days. The cheque never came. So I called again on 21.05.25 only to be told that my money was refunded by bank transfer on 24th March 2025. I checked there and then while on the phone with their Customer Service Representative. And I had not received the money they owed me. I was told I needed to send proof that I had not received the money by Bank Transfer. And was advised to send an email with Refund Request Reference: [MOD EDIT: Removed] to mailbox: ([MOD EDIT: Removed]) I sent two emails to this mailbox. One of them with my Bank Statement attached. And to this day I have not even received an automated response. I called their Customer Service Team again to find out what was going on and they could not help me besides confirm that this mailbox exists but could not speak with anyone in the department that deals with the emails (which contain personal information of their customers) sent to this mailbox. Obviously irate I escalated the call to a Manager because I now had no clue who had my account details and I was genuinely concerned. I stated that this is a very serious matter as it was clear that they were not dealing with customers sensitive data in accordance with Privacy Laws, and she was literally LAUGHING as I expressed my frustration and concerns. I was so appalled I decided to do everything in writing from that point forward. And my experience so far has been just as harrowing while being given the run around. The level of incompetence is unbelievable and when I read the awful Trust Pilot reviews with over 100K reviews and a 1.3 out of 5 score, I realise I am not alone. After several emails I was instructed to send my bank statements to their Missing Payments Team ([MOD EDIT: Removed]) which I first did on 07.07.25 and all Ive received from them is an automated email (See below) which states: Hello, Thanks for getting in touch about your missing payment. We’ll do our best to get back to you in two working days to let you know if we've been able to find it. If we can't find your payment, we'll be able to investigate further to work out what's gone wrong - we'll send you an email to let you know. If you've got a question about your missing payment, you can reply to this email. Want to talk about something else? Head to virginmedia Kind regards, The Virgin Media team Although I have written to the Missing Payments Teams for an update several times, I am still waiting for a response from them. I have however received different emails from their Resolutions Team and Case management Team with the same template that doesn't offer any resolution whats so ever but if anything demonstrates their total incompetence, poor service and ineffective case management systems. See below: CORRESPONDENCE 1: Email from: [MOD EDIT: Removed] on 07.07.25 Customer account number: [MOD EDIT: Removed] Complaint reference: [MOD EDIT: Removed] Hello Sean F, We’ve tried to get in touch so we can chat about how your complaint’s progressing, but we haven’t been able to reach you. So things don’t get delayed, we’ve gone ahead and proposed a resolution. We’ve looked into it and here’s what we found: Hi Sean thanks for your reply. We appreciate this is frustrating. We would advise, as we can see there was a final bill amount of £-42.42 on the 18th February, this should have been refunded to you directly. As you are disputing this, you'd need to contact [MOD EDIT: Removed] and they should be able to help resolve this matter for you. We hope this helps. Here’s a summary of the complaint outcome and what we propose as a resolution: CORRESPONDENCE 2: Email from: [MOD EDIT: Removed] on 08.07.25 Customer account number: [MOD EDIT: Removed] Complaint reference: [MOD EDIT: Removed] Hello Sean F, We have an update for you on how your complaint is progressing with us. We’ve tried to contact you to discuss in more detail, but we were unable to reach you. We didn’t want to delay things, so we’ve gone ahead and offered a proposed resolution. We’ve looked into it and here’s what we found: Thanks for coming back to us Sean and we're sorry to hear that this matter is still ongoing, with the complaint remaining open. Here’s a summary of the complaint outcome and what we propose as a resolution: Reviewing your account and our refund screen on your account, it would appear that on 24/03/25 a BACs payment was made to you via the value of £42.42. We understand that you have advised this was not received and have reached out to our refunds team, but have yet to receive a response. If you're able to send supporting documents to confirm that this payment has not been received, we will be able to forward this to our team, with the supporting document to see if we can find the whereabouts of the refund, or if do maintain that this was paid. When BACs are issued to customers, this would be sent to the same bank account in which payments were made to Virgin Media for this service and would need to remain active for the receiving of the refund to complete. Thanks.

I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE MISSING PAYMENTS TEAM ABOUT THE MONEY THEY OWE ME SO I NOW READY TO START POSTING EVERYTHING ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON THE VIRGIN COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARD. BEFORE I TAKE THIS MATTER UP WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OMBUDSMAN.New customer, broadband hub doesn't connect, VirginO2 accounts don't connect...nothing works.
I received our hub yesterday. Property has an existing NTL box so was sent a quickstart setup. Followed set-up instructions and trouble shooting, box continues to flash green - suspect something is wrong/not activated with the ntl box rather than hub. Tried calling helpline, automated process sent a signal down the line to test. This morning I received a text saying the kit has been activated. Still not working. I go back to the help line, asks for my password - I don't have a password because the VM/O2 account thing set-up as password-less..but I can't link the two together/not clear on what it is anyway. Please help.Can’t link accounts
Hello I am a new VM customer. My internet is installed and live since last week. I recently tried to link my virgin and O2 ID accounts. But it says my ID account is under a diffeeent email and then reduces my attempts. i have checked many times and the email is correct. I have been at this for many days now. It seems like a problem in the sever end since many new customers have the same problem. can this please be resolved?Armed Forces Covenant - Virgin Media Breaching Contract
Military family here. We lived in an SFA down south and got posted to Cyprus (RAF base, which is British Territory) . I contacted Virgin Media saying that: the area I'm moving to is UNSERVICEABLE by Virgin Media hence by contract no early termination fee should be billed to my name. It is a military posting for the entire family that is outside our control so by contract, Virgin Media should not put a military family under unfair treatment and/or discrimination. Virgin Media is required to waive fees for military FAMILIES. I've explained all this, quoting the covenant, quoting other military spouses whose fees have been waived under such circumstances and the response I got was "I only have paperwork for Serving Person in my office, because the account is under your name you will have to pay". Well, isn't this unfair treatment? the house you provided services for is MOD property, which funny enough is under the Serving Person name, so you charge me, you charge him, you charge us. Webchat was even worse as I got someone who didn't speak any English and his messages made absolutely zero sense. Then I got a really cheeky guy who kept asking me of he could close my complaint. I told him not to close it and what did it do? claimed he resolved it!!!! Absolutely unbelievable how you don't understand that you can be sued for all this and that I can get my husband's Warrant Officer to send you a nice lovely letter as he already had to do this before for other people. You think you can just take advantage of people that's what you think. I expect the bill to be waived as it's legally required. Waiting for you to get in contact.Account is linked to an email address that’s different to the one on your Virgin Media O2 ID.
Hi all - hoping posting here can shed some light on this whole process. I am a new customer with virgin media, and have just been sent all the emails through with my contract etc. on the email address I used to set up the account. The emails said to set up the My Virgin Media account, so I clicked the link and registered my Virgin Media O2 ID account. It then said to link that account to my Virgin Media account, however when I did so, it said that the email accounts don’t match, even though I used the same email address for both: “We’ve found your Virgin Media account However, this account is linked to an email address that’s different to the one on your Virgin Media O2 ID. If you’d like to continue and link your Virgin Media account to your Virgin Media O2 ID, please confirm the full email address your Virgin Media account is currently registered to. We’ll then send an email to that email address to approve the transfer.” So I put my email in (the one from which I received all emails about my contract setup), but it is saying the email address doesn’t match even though I literally copy pasted it from my contract document. It gave me five attempts to put my email in and the same error message came up each time - I now have one attempt left and don’t want to use it in case my account gets blocked. Please could anyone advise on what I’m doing wrong or if this is a glitch or something?? It’s a bit of a niche problem I think, and I couldn’t find anything on the FAQs! I feel like I’m going insane because I’ve checked the email so many times to make sure there are no typos or anything but it’s still not working! I copy and pasted someone else’s message but I’m having this issue and felt like it was no point explaining it worse
