Repeated Unauthorised Netflix Charges on Virgin Media Account – Anyone Else Affected?
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Back in April, a Netflix subscription unexpectedly appeared on my Virgin Media bill. I never signed up for it and have never had a Netflix account linked to my email. I contacted Virgin Media customer service, and to their credit, they removed the charge and recredited my account. I assumed that was the end of it, but the same charge has appeared again on this month’s bill. This time, customer service informed me that they are unable to remove Netflix subscriptions and that I need to resolve the matter with Netflix directly. This is confusing and frustrating, especially since Virgin was previously able to remove the charge themselves. I have no way to contact Netflix, as I don’t have a Netflix account or any email address associated with one. The subscription appears to be entirely tied to my Virgin Media account. I’ve come across several online reports and even media articles highlighting that others have faced similar issues. I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem recently? I’m getting nowhere with Virgin Me dia support and would appreciate any advice or shared experiences. Thanks in advance.32Views0likes1CommentVirgin Media refuse to close my account despite confirmed switch to a new provider
Can someone please explain how I leave VM? I have a new provider who have confirmed the switch has been activated and an email from Virgin confirming they have had the switch request and yet I am still receiving VM services and being charges monthly. They are also constantly ringing me about my contract which expired on 08/06/2025 to try to get me to renew at a better rate than the one I should no longer be paying.I haven’t received the return package nor the label
Hi, I have cancelled my services long ago, my services has now also been disconnected and I’m still haven’t received a single email on when to expect the return package and label therefore I’d like to state in writing my dissatisfaction and my refuse to pay any incurring “penalty” you try to put on me as I have even tried several times to ask for a label following the instructions on your webpage however it doesn’t work once clicking on it! “Sorry! Oh, crikey. We can't find that page” that’s the message we get! please rectify this situation asap! Thanks!Broken account.
My Virgin Media account is broken; it does not let me make any changes. I have tried the website, app, a different browser. It makes no difference. Anytime I try to make a change, it says "Sorry! You are not eligible for this particular offer. Unfortunately you have missed out on this offer but we have plenty of other offerings that you could be interested in." It does not matter if I am trying to upgrade my broadband speed, upgrade TV, manage My Flex Plan, upgrade to Volt etc, no matter what I try it redirects to the following URL and gives the above error. https://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/change-my-package/my-current-package/offers I recently contracted (had the same issue beforehand) and spent quite a while on the phone trying to get this sorted out, but nobody could help me with the issue. At the time, I didn't realise the problems with changing the My Flex Plan, so I figured that while I did want to upgrade to 2Gbps internet, I would stay on the 1Gbps as it wasn't worth the hassle. Something needs to be done to fix my account, and nobody on the phone was able to help, so where do I go from here? I don't care if the account needs to be deleted and set up again, something needs to be done as it can't be left like this!196Views1like10CommentsFirst bill after renewal
I’ve had an absolute nightmare of late. My contract was coming to an end, Virgin contacted me and I ended up accepting a renewal with an upgrade to Virgin 360 plus at long last an upgrade on my hub from the 3 to the 5. So it was supposedly a self install which would take me 15 minutes. What a joke that was - received the kit on the Tuesday engineer had to visit on the Wednesday, Thursday AND Friday - bless him he’d never had such bother and I had 3 days of being inconvenienced and now everything is up and running I’ve had an email saying my next bill is for the ridiculous amount of £186 when it should be £131 (new contract is £120) - I’ve tried phoning but the automated stuff is so infuriating I end up hanging up, I’ve tried chat and they were of no help at all, asked Shiny to have someone call me - I can’t do that as I am the web chat team. Honestly driving me mad!65Views0likes2CommentsUnable to connect to my account
Hey, I am unable to connect to my account on Virgin Media's website. If I try to talk to Customer Service, they don't believe that I have a problem and are very rude (although, as I have a speech defect, I am not keen on chatting to them over the phone as it sends my anxiety up through the roof and they will refuse to give me an email where I can show them the following screenshot). Could anyone here tell me what's going on? This issue has been going on for months. This is the screenshot that I see, and the sidebar shows that I've logged in, but I get the message. The browsers that I've tried it on are Brave, Brave Private, Edge, Firefox, a friend of mine's browser, and Tor. All of them give me the same issue.51Views0likes2CommentsMy broadband is showing a solid green light and 2 arrows are blinking
So, i got my hub 3 literally a week ago, every night, from 9pm to 11pm, the internet has gone, and my broadband just shows a solid green light with 2 blinking arrows. I looked it up and apparently it means its a software update, but that cant be true because its doing it every single night.84Views0likes7CommentsService Outage
I live in Torbay and so far today have had no broadband or TV under a fault number: F011873638 I asked to be kept informed by text if any updates and that has not happened yet. We now have intermittent TV but still no Broadband. The fault notice says it won’t be fixed until Monday. The system asks that you register the service interruption to get any compensation if it lasts a few days. But as it’s a known fault there is no button to click to register the service is completely out. Alongside this outage I have had to unplug my two pods - as they started to overheat trying to find the hub. This is a known fault! I spent the last week sorting really poor customer service - helped on here by Molly. I got a better deal but was left feeling quite flat about the customer service. Then this - no Broadband for apparently the next three days. Time to look at other providers I think. Get a separate TV source and a new Broadband service. Anyone else in the same situation or have any idea when this ‘fault’ will be sorted, and how we get some sort of service? Any info gratefully received.

Morning all A little help would be appreciated please. Until last year I was a VM customer, broadband only. I cancelled as the increase in prices were too much, and decided to take my business elsewhere as VM are terrible at looking after existing customers. Payment history was exemplary, and apart from VM not wanting to retain an existing client, all was left reasonably well. I received the letter informing me to return the modem, way after disconnection it has to be said, but promptly returned the product in the prepaid box. I then started to receive letters and an outstanding bill for £65 stating unreturned items. I emailed, called twice and informed item had been returned. One agent promised to call back, that didn’t happen!! To my horror, I have recently discovered after a decline in credit, a default has been registered against my name by VM for this very £65. This is outrageous, and even after me chasing and informing of the product return, absolutely no notice that a default notice was about to be applied. Has anyone else experienced this and what is the best route to get this disastrous company to act quickly to remedy? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you49Views0likes2Comments
