Unexpected new contract?
Hi, I am writing this in hope of a resolution and an explanation to my issue as I am lost at how to get support. I took out a virgin media contract at my previous address for the 1GB volt package. I moved last year in June to a new house and transferred my package to my new property. I was assured the package & pricing would continue as normal for the remainder of the contract. However, today I received a bill for the FULL package price without my discount as the discount has supposedly run out, however my contract does not end until November. I don’t understand why my contract has not ended and why I am getting charged the full price. This is completely unwarranted and not what I agreed upon. It has definitely tainted my perspective of Virgin Media. I would like my service to either: (1) be cancelled and the original contract honoured, or (2) for the discount to be reinstated for the extended contract length and for the extra amount paid this month to be credited back to me.I'm being charged much more than it says in my contract documents?
I accepted a new contract via the my virgin media site as my current contract was expiring. I received the email with the new contract details and the price. However I've now received the next bill and I am being billed nearly £20 a month more than stated on the contract documents. I contacted Virgin via chat and was told "due to a technical issue the discounts on your package were removed" but they weren't able to sort it. Is there someone from the virgin media team here who can help me please? I've seen similar previous posts from a few months ago where the issue got resolved. Thanks in advance37Views0likes1CommentRepeated 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.49Views0likes1CommentLied to about EDF
So I've messaged virgin media three times over an early disconnection fee over WhatsApp. All 3 times I've been promised the fee would waver. Guess what? It's been nearly a month and the bill still sits at it's final amount and I've gotten absolutely nowhere. It's no use messaging WhatsApp because they'll just lie to you. For anyone thinking of joining/renewing their contract AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!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.194Views1like4CommentsWrongly added Netflix premium to my account and still being charged!
I have virgin media - broadband/phone/basic tv package. I discovered in May that I was charged for a Netflix premium subscription every month since January despite not signing up for/even watching Netflix. I called the customer service and I was told they would look into it. I am still waiting for a response about a refund. At least they told me the netflix premium subscription had been cancelled going forward. But now it has appeared again on my next month's bill! How can virgin media charge me for something I did not ask for and then continue to charge even when they told me it has been cancelled! The call centre keeps telling me that I am not being charged but it is clearly on the bill for the last 5months!74Views0likes5CommentsCall out charge for a replacement box?
I have just noticed a £25 additional fee has been applied to my bill for a call out charge. The engineer found that my box had a fault (hard-drive) and replaced it with a new box. At no point was any kind of charge mentioned. I’m extremely unhappy about being charged for an engineer visit / the replacement of faulty VM equipment. Is there a complaint process where I can request a refund?No return kit - is cancellation still happening?
I arranged to cancel my services and have Virgin send me the return kit to another address. This was all verbally confirmed to me but I haven't had very much information over email (although I do seem to have a final bill). It was arranged to happen today, with the return kit arriving before today, but I haven't received the promised return kit. This is a failure on Virgin's part but I am terrified this will lock me into to some arrangement and I won't be able to leave without damaging my credit. What can I do to rectify this ASAP?66Views0likes6Comments
