New customer - acc not linking to VM app
I placed an order for TV and broadband on 29/10/25. Unfortunately VM didn’t add a phone line therefore this required me having to cancel and redoing the whole order! The issue is that my account isn’t showing my correct order. It’s displaying the first order, which has already been cancelled. I’ve spoken to customer services but they don’t seem to know what to do? Can someone please help me? I’m losing hope. Why is everything so complicated? At this point, I’m considering cancelling everything and sticking with my current provider. I’ve been on the phone nonstop for the last three days!12Views0likes2CommentsNetflix Activation
Hi Everyone, I’ve got Netflix free as part of my package but I never received an activation email. I was already a Netflix customer at the time I moved to virgin media. On Sunday I spoke with Virgin via chat and was promised an activation email would be received within 24hrs! Nothing arrived. on Monday via chat again promised 24hrs and nothing arrived. On chat again Tuesday then told it will take upto 5 days but it’s Friday night now and I have zero faith anything will arrive or change. i can’t activate via the entertainment services page as that just gives a generic error. also raised via phone (almost impossible to speak with an actual person) with complaints team but again can’t see anything arriving on a Saturday/Sunday so we won’t be watching Netflix is my guess. Has anyone got any advice or been through similar. Starting to regret the move away from SKY.Solved1.1KViews0likes39CommentsClosing bill Not Received
The final bill has been paid £386.91 20/10/2025 and the account has been closed and all services disconnected and router returned I still haven't received full pdf invoice closing bill as I need to forward this onto my new internet provider asap. Thanks Adam71Views0likes3CommentsOnline Renewal Contract
Hi, My contract was up for renewal, so using the MyVirginMedia app I accepted a renewal deal and received email confirmation with the Contract Information Sheet. I spoke to someone earlier today as I was told my account was not showing the update and he said that, as he was unable to match the deal offered online, I just needed to wait 14 days for it to appear. I then received an email this evening saying 'We'd like to talk to you as it appears that some information that we need to process your order was missing'. So I called again and the lady told me she was unable to match the online offer so she would transfer me to another team who would be able to help. Whilst on hold the call was ended by the team before I could speak to someone. Please can someone contact me urgently to resolve this issue and ensure my deal is activated. Thanks, Shannon90Views0likes3CommentsContract Renewal not gone through
On the 5th of October I renewed my contract via the app at a new cost of £73.76 a month on a 24 month plan. My latest bill has come through today for over £100 (almost £20 up from last month) and according to the app I am still showing as up for renewal but now at £75.15 a month. I have no idea why the first contract renewal hasn't gone through, no idea why the latest bill is so high and no idea why I'm still being offered another renewal at a higher price. Is renewing via the app a known issue for it to go wrong?Worst Customer Service
I have been trying to sort out my account for over 3 months and have never had such a debacle. Had 2 different contracts, spoke to numerous employees and still can't resolve basics. Thought I had it all sorted last month with another new contract but yet again Virgin promised much but delivered nothing. Spent over 2 hours on the phone that time and now just spent 40 mins then I got passed to my 3rd agent who promptly cut me off deliberately. Has anyone else ever dealt with such a poor organisation who are completely inept? So, infuriating when the staff employees cannot read previous notes or don't listen to you? Then pass you onto another agent where you have to keep on repeating yourself endlessly. Anyone from Virgin got the courtesy to try and sort this out? Rather than on of your Employees who said best thing to do was leave, I am starting to think I should have followed his advice.66Views0likes4CommentsSwitched From Sky But Still Charged For Both
When I switched from Sky in The summer I was told Virgin would inform SKY of my change of broadband but I had to tell them myself about the change of TV. I have just had a call from SKY saying they had not been informed by Virgin and so I have done so. This means that I have been double charged for 2 months for my broadband service. Who do I speak to to get this refunded. My understanding is that via the Ofcom ‘One Touch Switch’ process, Virgin are obligated to inform SKY about my switch. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/phones-and-broadband/switching-provider/easier-than-ever-to-switch42Views0likes2Comments£50 student Just Eat voucher nowhere to be seen
Hi, I bought the student virgin media package that came with a £50 Just Eat voucher, but I've received no communication about it at all. Our broadband was installed on October 10th 2025. When will we be sent our voucher? The advert very much made it seem that the voucher would be immediate.23Views0likes1CommentDisconnected after accepting online renewal, now struggling to get the original offer honoured
Virgin Media disconnected me earlier this week after abysmally failing to process my online contract renewal. I have since been reconnected, but getting customer service to honour the original renewal offer is proving to be a real nightmare. A timeline of what has happened: In mid-September 2025, I informed Virgin Media that I want to terminate my contract due to a massive increase in my monthly subscription cost, from £56.52 to £197.52, which was due to come into effect on 19 October 2025. I asked for a straightforward cancellation of all services, without doing a one-touch-switch to another provider. A few weeks after my cancellation request, I received an email from Virgin Media with an offer to renew my existing package for a further 24 months at a cost of £44.02 per month. I accepted the online renewal offer on 7 October 2025 and received an order confirmation by email on the same day, stating that my existing package would be extended by a further 24 month at a monthly cost of £44.02, with an annual price increase of £4 each April. The email also said that the estimated activation date for the new package would be the 10th October 2025. On 17 October, I noticed that the new contract details were still not showing in my online account and called Virgin Media customer to inquire as to the reason for the delay. The customer services agent informed me that, contrary to the information provided in the order confirmation email, it might take up to 15 days for online renewals to be processed. As my existing contract was due to end on 19 October, the agent told me that she would suspend the disconnection and manually monitor my account so as to ensure that the renewal of my existing package at a monthly cost of £44.02 was processed correctly. She also promised to keep me informed by telephone as soon as the renewal of the contract had been processed. I was further promised that I would receive a full refund for any additional charges raised against my account until the renewal process is complete, so as to ensure that I am not overcharged for my existing package. During the night of 22-23 October, all Virgin media services at my address were disconnected. On 23 October, I called Virgin Media once again. The agent puts in a reconnection request and promises that, once I am reconnected, the renewal offer will be processed. On 25 October, Virgin Media reconnected all services and bills me £206.88. My online account says that I am now "out of contract". There is still no sign of the online renewal offer, which I accepted on 7 October, and for which I was sent an order confirmation and two pre-contract documents. When I call Virgin Media, the agent tells me that the online renewal offer was voided by the (erroneous) disconnection and that he is unable to recreate the package price that I accepted when renewing my contract, since the "pricing tool" is not available within the first three days of (re)activating an account. He suggest that I call again "after 72 hours" to see what can be done. I am now left wondering what will happed in three days. The online renewal offer that I accepted on 7 October was substantially better than anything I was previously offered by the retentions team over the phone. I am shocked that Virgin Media has failed to process the online renewal within the promised 15 days and I am now left picking up the pieces. What will happen in three days if the telephone agent is unable to match the online renewal offer that I accepted on 7 October? To make matters worse, a charge of £206.88 was raised today against my account, which now appears to be “out of contract”. I feel like I have hit a dead end with customer services and that my only way forward is a formal complaint and, if this fails, contacting the Communication Ombudsman. Is there really no other (and quicker) way of getting this problem of Virgin Media’s own making resolved in a satisfactory manner?62Views0likes2Comments
