Netflix hacked - going round in circles
My netflix account, which I have through Virgin Media, has been hacked and the email address to access it changed by the hacker. I have been going around in circles with Netflix wanting a 6-digit service code, and Virgin Media who were adamant that no such code could be given out. Virgin Media have said the only thing they can do is send an activation code (which I have not yet received) and raise a complaint (which I have not yet heard anything back from). I've seen a lot of people who have been in this same situation, did anything ever get resolved????? How can I reset the netflix account I no longer have access to?????? PLS HELP.Upgrade not honoured and now the only option is to disconnect - how bizarre
On Saturday 16th August I received an offer to upgrade speed from m350 to m500 for £3 per month extra. I am fairly new to Virgin and apart from a really rocky start and poor customer service, the service has been fine. I was tempted by the offer for an extra £3 so hit the button. A few minutes later received a customer order confirmation with all the correct details including that it wouldn’t impact the current contract I was in. Great! the following day I received a text message asking me to check the pre contract documentation and approve them. Having looked at the documentation the service had jumped from £59.99 to £139.24 and a brand new 24 month contract. Not at all what i had signed up for or approved. So I didn’t hit the approve button and tried to contact the help line. Shortly after I received further documentation welcoming me to the new service and the new £139.24 price tag for something that was offered at £3 more. after an hour on the phone, I’ve been promised a call back as the retention team said i was left with only two options. To either accept rolling credit which would bring the cost back to £59.99 BUT I would be entering a new contract of 24 months which I definitely did not want given the price hikes they were showing on their documentation come Oct next year. The 2nd option was to offer thirty days notice to cancel and terminate the contract and the services. I only clicked on the link to upgrade based on the offer and here I am now being forced to leave - how bizarre. I have a customer reference number showing the details I had asked for and yet this can’t be honoured. can anyone on here help at all? I don’t want to leave, I certainly don’t want to pay double the amount I was paying simply for moving up a speed which was on an offer and I definitely don’t want to enter another contract. Loosing the will to live with the customer service.
VM Cable needs to be buried can someone help? (Not a VM customer)
I moved into my property in bristol, UK and have discovered virgin media cable above ground in my front garden exposed i know its VM as open reach came to bury it as we thought it was ours. However they have found it is not theirs. I'm not a VM customer but this needs sorting out as I cant do my gardening without fear of cutting it. I tried contacting VM directly through phone and got through to commercial support some how and they couldn't help.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!New contract set up without my consent after moving house
I moved from a flat into a house and virgin media cut me off early due to the new tenant enquiring about getting Virgin Media in the same flat. That issue was sorted about a reconnection, and I thought that would be all done. In the process of trying to get reconnected, I must have given my new address to someone at VM because unbeknownst to me, a new account has been set up in my name at my new address. I have explicitly stated that I would not be taking Virgin Media with me to my new address, and have correspondence saved to prove this, so I was shocked when I have received a bill for £122.29 for a new account in August. I can't access this new account, as my email is only associated with my old account, which I have paid the final bill for. Who can get this issue rectified as I will not be paying the £122.29 I have received a bill for as I never asked for the services, have not received the services, and explicitly stated that I did not want the services. I have cancelled the direct debit to VM as I am sure that any money taken in eror would not be returned.Charged £6.99 for entering pin for on demand channel
I was charged for entering my pin for an adult channel with no warning I would be charged £6.99 whatsoever. The channel I clicked on did not say anything about a charge but once I entered my pin (which makes sense as it's an adult channel) it said I had bought a night pass. I had no intention of actually paying for one and did not watch it at all. There surely should be another step in the process to buying these services. I don't know if it can be seen that I did not watch the channel. The whole thing feels very scammy. If it was on a channel that clearly advertised a charge I wouldn't mind, as that would be my fault completely. Can this unused, and unfair charge, be refunded?Early cancellation fees
We have just sold our house and obviously had to cancel our virgin tv and broadband contract. We have now received a substantial bill for cancelling. However we have bought a new house and would want to go back to Virgin once we move in. could we transfer our account to the new house once we move in? we were never told about an early cancellation fee when joining Virgin media and now shocked to receive this bill especially after cancelling our account with an AI Bot and not speaking to a human being. any help is appreciatedBill credits not added as promised
When we signed up to Virgin a few months ago, via a representative, we were promised that we would have bill credits applied to our account to cover our first two months (to help offset cancelling our EE contract early.) These credits have not been applied and we have had two bills from Virgin. I have email evidence about the promised bill credits from the salesmen. I also know his name and have his work number. I have reached out directly to the salesman several times. One time he said the credits had been applied when they hadn’t, then he said he needs to wait for his manager to come back from leave. I have all the text messages. My next bill came today and the credits have not been applied. What do people suggest is my next step please?Anybody else getting harassing calls from Virgin Media?
In June this year, a mere 1/3 of the way into my new 18 month Broadband contract with Virgin Media, I began to receive numerous marketing calls. They were offering me a longer contract which would not only cost me more and tie me in for longer, but I'd get less for the privilege. My response was a clear "No thanks"! So they tried again and then again. In response to these unwanted calls, I raised a complaint. In their response, VM advised me to check my marketing preferences, claimed that they have not been calling me and that I should be more careful about who I answer the phone to! Of course I was not happy with that reply so I rejected their resolution and ended up in a call with the complaints team. For the record, I checked my marketing preferences and consent was already declined for these calls! During the conversation with the complaints team, they confirmed that the number calling me was one of their numbers. They also ensured that I was not on the lists for future marketing calls. That resolution was satisfactory to me so I asked them to close my complaint. Fast forward to August and the calls have started again! I have ignored them until today when I answered. Same thing as before! As politely as I could, I asked them to take me off their calls list! I again checked my marketing preferences, consent is still off! To help anyone searching, I have been called from the following numbers, all indicated on my phone display as Virgin Media. 0800 052 8675 (3 times in June 2025, confirmed by VM to be one of their numbers) 0800 052 7551 (once in June 2025) 0800 052 9406 (4 times between 1st and 11th August 2025)
