I would like to cancel the TV side of my package as it hasn’t been very good
I currently have broadband and TV with Virgin. The broadband is brilliant but the TV isn’t very good. I’m looking to go to another provider to get my TV so would like to cancel the Tv side of the package. i have spoke to Virgin and been told numerous things. I am able to cancel the Tv side of the package with no cancellation fee as I still have the internet with them. The internet would be £72 on its own but after the 30 days notice I should be able to call back and get discount to knock the price down. I can cancel but there would be a cancellation fee and the internet price would be £75 and it will have to stay at that until the end of the contract. Can someone please explain in clear terms what is what?Cancelation complaint
I had moved properties in Feb 2025, I notified viegin and was told at that time i would not have to pay a cancellation, due to not being able to drill holes into the property, I then called again and was told that would have to pay a cancellation which I was not too happy with, I then asked for the original call to be retrieved and listened to, conveniently the call couldnt be found even with me providing a date and time. I told them I didn't want to renew in writing (back in april on the community site) and I received a call at few days ago looking to upwell to me and asked for confirmation the contract was cancelled and they told me there weren't any notes on the account. I called again today to cancel and told I have to provide 30 days notice or pay an extra 2 weeks on the new rate. Just be aware of the above points if you need to cancel as it seems they lose calls, get confirmation when cancelling that the notes are actually on your account!Unable to reinstall the terminator cap
I have recently moved out of my previous property. HM-150725-32 My broadband account with Virgin Media was terminated on 18 July 2025. However, nobody had instructed me to install the terminator cap until I received the return package on 25 July. Unfortunately, I no longer have legal access to the property and am unable to re-enter to complete this step, as my lease ended on 14 July. The cap remains in my possession, and I am happy to return it to you by post or with the return package if needed. Please let me know if you would like me to send it back, or whether no further action is necessary. I would also like confirmation that I will not incur any charges as a result of not being able to insert the cap, as I have fully complied with the disconnection process and am no longer able to access the premises after cleaning. (Pls find attached my checkout record) Thank you for your understanding and support.
Multiple renewal quotes - I gave up
I received a call from Virgin about my contract end so agreed to receive a quote the agent advised renewals were £198 then quoted a special price of £98. Given our existing price and knowing that we would also see an increase in April. I passed and was then was disconnected whilst trying to cancel. I called back and spoke to Holly who was great but advised me the rate was £111. I said no thanks and was directed to another agent who first advised a rate around 188 and then offed £89 and then around £82 for 24 months which would increase in April. I will now just opt for this one touch end and take a Sky deal instead. We are waiting for better Internet locally but being locked in for 24 months at a cost of several hundred pounds more a year seems hard to justify. Especially with lack of real pricing clarity and an increase just months after taking a contact seems wrong. I can't see the justification of in excess of a 20% increase after 18 months. Nothing is forever I guess.Request Return Kit Link Broken?
Hi, I am cancelling August 13th, and the link provided by Virgin is broken for requesting the kit. https://www.virginmedia.com/help/virgin-media-return-or-recycle-equipment/request-returns-pack Can someone advise if this can be fixed or if anyone else had this issue and was able to resolve it? Really don't want to be charged because of a Virgin issue. TIA!So frustrated with VM
After ongoing complaints for months I have just moved addresses and found my bill go up by £100 for some reason? no way to contact anyone and so tired of trying. Spent about 50 hours dealing with these people since signing up in April. This company is horrible to deal with and whenever I try to get it resolved I just get threatened to have to pay £500 to leave my contract. or belittled by their customer service agents who love to hang up so you need to restart the call again taking hours. I just want to pay for a service that works! would actively advise anyone to never use VM they’re horrificNever-ending installation
We were supposed to have our broadband installed to our new home the 17th July. The technician came and didn't finish the job. No communication since and whenever I call customer support they lie to us saying "someone is coming today" Three times they've said this and nobody came. Yesterday (24th) another technician came (after I had to request it) and the same again. He left, said comex would come and do the job externally because we were high priority, and then he would return the same day to do the inside connection, but as per usual nothing. This is unbelievable for a major company to just abandon their customers with no communication and not complete a simple transfer of broadband when moving home. The only option I see now is to move provider. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because for over a week now without internet in 2025 is ridiculous and the service is shocking.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.
