Incorrect Late Payment on Credit Report
Hi All, Recently tried to renew my mortgage and discovered that Virgin Media have added a late payment marker to my credit file, even though this payment was not late and I had previously been in discussion with Kath on this platform regarding this payment as it was higher then normal for that amount. I've checked my bank records and this was taken inline with my normal virgin media payments. This was in November 2023 and since then I've been declined for a credit card and my mortgage. This is greatly upsetting and is impacting me financially for something that is not my issue. I'd appericate this sorted as soon as possible. I've also emailed the complaint line and will be reaching out to anyone else in Virgin Media about this as its frankly unacceptable that this occured when the payment was not late as it was taken from my account at the same time as all other payments.1.9KViews0likes7CommentsCredit default
Dear All, I hope this message finds you well. I have been trying for more than a year to explain that you incorrectly put a credit default while I have made my payment on time. Your created an error on my balance while I left my flat at that moment and with no access to anything. Seven months after I left the flat I received an email and explained via this emails and keep following up and called till I got to your team. Despite all that, I made the payment and your INCOMPETENT team that I am still dealing with them for MORE THAN A YEAR REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MADE AN ERROR AND YOU INCORRECTLY PUT A CREDIT DEFAULT ON MY CREDIT WHEN IT IS NOT TRUE. ALL THIS FRUSTRATION AND ONE YEAR WASTE OF TIME AND MANY FOLLOWS UP, I HAVE TO SPEAK IN THIS CHAT TO GET THIS DONE!!! COULD YOU PLS PROFESSIONALY AND WITH COMPETENCY FIX YOUR ERROR ??? THANKS759Views0likes4CommentsNo Response from Homemovers
I am due to disconnect on 20/05/2024 I spoke to Virgin Media about the early disconnection fee. They said as I am moving to an area they cannot supply, I won't need to pay the EDF. Part of the message added below. I have since sent them a water bill, and a council tax bill with the new address which they cannot supply. The two emails were sent to homemovers@virginmedia.co.uk as requested. I have had no response and I am quite concerned this EDF is going to be applied. I have spoken to them several times and no one seems to be able confirm if the EDF has been removed. "If you can provide us the required documentation showing your new address within the next 28 days we will apply a credit to your account removing the early disconnection fee. Once you confirm, you will receive an email to your registered email address which will outline all of the details and required documentation you need to provide to us. Upon sending the documentation a correspondence will be sent back to you detailing the next steps. The documents that will be accepted are: Bank Statement Mortgage Information Rental Agreement Driving Licence Insurance Documentation Utility Bill"2KViews0likes10CommentsVM April Price increase quoted not honoured
Dear Virgin Media, We have had a Volt package since last year's renewal for 250Mbps + O2 SIM deal (paid separately) for £28.00 pcm. Like every other customer, we received notification of the April 2024 price increase. We were given a breakdown via email stating that our bill as of 04/28/2024 would now increase from £28.00 to £30.46 (£30.46 for main services + £0 add-ons). Which we were OK with, so we didn't need to contact Virgin about it. Yesterday, I received an email with a bill for April 2024 of £37.99 so I called customer service today to understand why and where this amount came from. I basically got told that the quoted £30.46 was "last year's price" and the new higher price was "due to inflation". I made a case to the operator that my 8.80% increase was then, in fact, not what was advertised and I was now getting charged WAY more than anticipated for the same package. I asked if the 8.80% increase was then a variable rate, rather than a fixed one, and he said yes. Nowehere on my paperwork or emails about the April price increase there's a mention of the 8.80% being a variable rate customers are charged. The operator made every effort to try and offer a solution price wise, saying he could take the price down to £32.00 pcm after his manager approved. This amount is still higher than what we were quoted and I still haven't received a straight answer as to why I was given, in writing, an increased price of £30.46 pcm and then receive a bill for £37.99. To make things worst, the operator mentioned my contract is coming to an end on 28th May 2024. However, online under "My Contract" it shows the expiry date is November 2024. Which is which?? If a member of staff could please get back to me asap about this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Kind regards637Views0likes2Commentsi quick paid and was charged again

Today I noticed that my bill had gone up, so I phoned VM to see why this is. I was told that my contract expires in 3 days and my discount has ended. I tried to see if they can offer my anything same or better, however after going through their customer sevice, then retation team and finally to cancelation team, they were not able to offer me anything near what I was paying. I have 350M, Phone ( Never use ) plus TV which I never watch as I have Netflix, Prime and Disney Plus. I used to pay £66 a month. Now they want me to pay £72 a month. I wanted to upgrade to their 1Gig broadband and they offered me at £80+. On their black Friday sale they have this for £57.50 plus 3 months free ( new customers ). I have been with them for over 10 years, play DD and never missed a payment. Anyway I decided that I wanted to cancel my account and shop around, however, this is where the drama beginis. The guys from VM started to tell me that I need to return my equipment and that I have 3 of these to returun. I sain no, I only have the VM TV box and the router Hub5. The guys started saying that I also have the Hub 3 that I need to return. I said No, I don't. Last year in Dec 22, I had an issue with my broadband and yous ent an engineer to visit, they replaced my Hub 3 with the Hub 5 and took away the old Hub. He started by saying no, they engineer would not take the old hub and that I have to pay £65 for this old hub now. I started to get **bleep** now, as this is clearly not true. Why would the engineer replace my old hub with a new one and leave the old one as well. Also if this was true and it's not, it's been almost a year and no one mentioned about this hub until now that I want to cancel. This was clearly VM trying to screw me over and forcing me not to leave. I know I did not want to leave VM but after this treatment, I'm glad I am cancelling my services and will move elsewhere. How can they act like this, trying to force someone not to leave by putting false charges. This clealry is not right. I'm looking into raising this with Ofcom. Usually after speaking to the cancellation team, they do their best to keep you, this guy was doing his best to make sure I leave. Amazing!!!!. I have 30 days until my services stop working, so time to shop around other providers. Funny thing is just after my phone call, my broadband went down for around 20 mins, but then came back on.Solved2.5KViews1like7Comments
