section 21 notice, £280 disconnection fee
Hi, I have been served with a section 21 and, having just chatted with a web messaging agent, been told that I will need to pay £280 in early disconnection fees. This seems deeply unfair as I do not want to move but are being legally obliged to do so against my will. I would love to move into a new place and take the account with me but due to recent events and the cost of living crisis, I am now forced to move in with family who already have their own broadband set up. I have seen that others may have been helped by VM agents on this service. PLEASE HELP!New Build Property
I have a new build property that has virgin cabling and is connected to the virgin box, however, Virgin are saying they are unable to provide service to the property. I have spoken to the sales team who have been incredibly unhelpful and keep telling me to register my interest, which I did 7 months ago. The house next door is servicable (existing build). The sales department have said they are unable to connect me to anyone who can help or unable to send an engineer without placing an order, which they can't do as the system says no. There must be a way around this. We have been in this property for 7 months and not getting anywhere!Virgin Media have changed my contract without my permission
Simply put, I called the Virgin Media CS team two days ago on 12/7 to report a broadband signal issue in my area. Later on the call, they go through some of the upgrade options for my current contract. I told them I do not want any changes to my current package and will decide later on if I want to renew or not. However, I received an email today stating that my contract has been renewed and my package upgraded. I just simply want to go back to my old package and make decision later on this year about renewal. Does anyone know how to file a formal complaint so it can be resolved?Online renewal - issues again
I have previously written about issues with renewing online, unfortunately it has happened again. Now, again, out of contract, I had called as well as chatted to get a new deal as a loyal customer as well as checking that my existing services would remain the same. I was given eye-watering increases with no additional services, so decided to stay out of contract. I explored an online renewal deal on the 15th June and agreed to the offer. I have still not heard anything, continue to pay more and nothing has changed on my account. I was told my account would be updated in 48 hours (a week ago) when I asked about this by chatting online. I really hope I wasn't just fobbed off by the online chats service last week. Please be wary of renewing online.
Contract ending - £100 more each month!
Hi, Has anyone else been given this crazy "offer" - I have been a customer probably since around 1996/7 always paid and had decent service etc. But my contract runs out in August and been told it will go up by £40 in August and the £100 in September! Crazy! Called up today but the price increase to stay exactly the same - with no difference looks like it will still be £40 (minimum) per month! Much much much cheaper surely to just cut ties and got with Sky direct and some of the multiple other internet providers. What's everyone else doing?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.Complete Failure in Service
Hello, I am writing regarding the wifi at my house. We recently upgraded our broadband plan 3 or so weeks ago to the highest we can Gig1 service with a new hub 5 and it has been an abhorrent experience. For 3 weeks consistently there have been drops and disconnections from the internet. Too many times I have called regarding this. The internet went down about 5 times within an hour timeframe last Saturday and upon calling virgin to resolve this, your representative scheduled a technician to come today and I quote from the mouth of your representative “GUARANTEED” that our wifi problem would be solved. Not only was that a blatant lie, the wifi is now completely not connected to the internet, it is no longer intermittent on and off, it is completely off. Technicians have come twice to check connections install new routers and said everything should be fine but that is not the case. In addition, the house landline is no longer able to make calls and certain channels on the tv no longer show. NOT ONLY THAT, but I work from home! I have lost an entire day of work today due to virgin media’s poor service and I now must deal with the consequences with my superiors. The longer our virgin wifi is down the more my job is at risk! It is not just my livelihood that depends on good wifi, but my grandparents, who are both OVER 90 YEARS OLD and require reliable and fast wifi and service for communication in the event of a medical emergency, which is now at risk. What happens if there is a serious medical emergency in this heat and no one can call an emergency contact or an ambulance and it's too late? Shall I send virgin the funeral bill at that point? I demand a resolution to this immediately as we are paying the most and receiving less than the bare minimum. Should this matter not be resolved we will have no choice but to escalate this matter. I expect a response with hasteBroken 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!
