£787 cancellation fee
Hi, I was trying to cancel my contract today, I was out of contract for a couple months but renewed it last month on the 15, so 20 days ago. My new contract isn't even charged on my bill yet, my most recent on shows the out of contract one was was about £80ish and I was under the impression that I can cancel within 30 days without being charged a cancellation fee only to find out today that it's 14 days, not 30. So now that i'm 6 days late, I have to pay £787 to cancel? That's an insnae price for 6 days off. Apart from a period when I was with TalkTalk, terrible service, I've been with virgin media for years. I recently lost my job and that's why I wanted to cancel, find a deal that's the same for lower price and I did but there's no way i can afford £787 when i'm struggling with my current virgin media bill. Is there something I can do to lower the fee or cancel it? It's 6 days after the cool off period. Thank you, BokiExactly 30 days to cancel minimum term contract lies
My 18 month contract ends in may. I called today to inform them I won't renew it. However after speaking to two different people both kept saying I need to call back exactly 30 days before my minimum term ends. I know this isn't true but they would not listen. I recorded the call and will share with ofcom. I will write a letter to cancel as calling is pointless
