Patio damage
When Virigin Media came to my house to set-up my broadband they broke my patio trying to lay the cable. Then they were unable to lay the cable due to a blockage and left. They said they would repair the damage after the cable was laid. After 5 months of repeatedly making appointments and cancelling them, resulting the cable never being laid and never getting broadband, I cancelled the contract but my patio still has this damage. I have contacted VMO2InsuredClaims and they keep claiming they're going to send engineers but they never turn up. How can I escalate this as once again Virigin Media is making appointments they have no intention of keeping?I am not a customer in any way, but I apparently have multiple missed payments?
Hello, I am not a Virgin media customer whatsoever, but I have now been informed by my credit report that I have a failed bill for the last 5 months. I have tried to speak to customer services as I do not have a customer number or details, they cannot help. This has destroyed my credit rating. I was once as O2 customer so I was wondering if this could be the cause, but I have changed provider and number. This has caused the same customer details issue with them. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am desperate here, as I am willing to pay whatever they say as long as they do not continue ruining my chances at a mortgage. I am a young man. This is horrible. Any help is welcome. Thanks.Moved home, account shows as closed
I have moved home and my broadband was supposed to be available at my new home today. It isn’t and I haven’t been able to speak to anyone at Virgin who can help me. Logging onto my account shows my old address and a closed account. I need internet so I can work. Not impressed with the service provided.Duct in the road damaged/blocked
We were meant to have Virgin installed 16th April, however, they were not able to get the fibre to our house. I have tried web chat, they say they can't find our account. WhatsApp just doesn't respond, and when I call, I just get sent round in circles. I can't even submit a complaint, and the page just continuously loads. Our BT contract has been cancelled, so we are just using data. Any chance I could get some assistance?Broadband installation delayed for 4 months, what do we do?!
Hello, My broadband installation has been delayed by Virgin Media for 4 months. They initially said the delay was because they needed permits from the council to dig the pavement to lay the cabling. But 3 months ago they said the permits were approved. Now they can't give me a clear reason as to why the works are delayed but also will not give me a timeframe as to when the installation will take place. Every time the install date is due to happen, I get an email stating it has been delayed by a month. It has now been 4 months since my initial install date was booked. I've made several complaints but nothing ever changes. I no longer know what to do, should I cancel Virgin Media? Can I still get compensation for such a long delay even if I leave? Will Virgin ever actually complete the installation if I continue to wait?Installation
I have tried calling the customer care support to report the issue and also arrange for a technician as early as possible or at least cancel the contract if the whole process is not going to work. I cannot be paying for something I am not using and the support is quite unresponsive. Please do reach out so I can cancel the contract at least before I am debited. I need the WiFi urgently and it's obvious virgin media is not going to work for me.Unauthorised pre-installation work was carried out by (Virgin Media) Avonline Networks
After contacting Virgin Numerous times and waiting numerous days for an engineer, they finally decided to come when we were not home. We left notes for the cable installer and with the Virgin Media team; these were to install our services in a specific location so it doesn’t conflict with our upcoming building works. Despite our specific instructions, they failed to tell their pre-install team, and they installed the external box right in the way of our pre-planned construction work. This is now causing us delays as it is right in the way our building works. When I contacted the pre-install team to inform them of the situation, I was told they could not do much about it. They would try to contact the subcontractors, and my best option would be to try to catch them when they next visit. Hopefully, someone at VM will be able to investigate this and look into it as an urgent matter.
Ongoing Installation Delays, No Internet & Missed Call Back from Complaints
I signed up for Virgin Media on 17th December, with an installation date originally set for 16th January. That was then delayed to 1st February, and now I’ve been told I have to wait until 15th February—over two months of waiting with no clear explanation for the repeated delays. Last week, I received a text confirming that the outside work was completed, yet my appointment is still nearly two weeks away. In fact, the work was finished before my second appointment on Saturday, but by then, Virgin Media had already cancelled it and didn’t have another available for two weeks. Because of these delays and the short notice, I wasn’t able to extend my existing broadband contract, meaning I’m now without internet while working from home. When I called to complain, Virgin Media told me to buy a dongle and said they would credit me for the cost. They also promised to call me back at 11am on Saturday to discuss the credit and the rest of my complaint. However, that call never came. When I followed up, all I was told was that “someone will be in touch.” I'm now £50 down after buying a mobile wifi box and sim card with no idea of when I'll be getting the money back from Virgin. It’s now Tuesday, and I still haven’t heard anything. I'm hoping posting on here might get a response from a member of staff...Total loss of service for 8 weeks
Hello community, I feel like this is the last turn to take and I hope someone can help. case reference: C-2509241726 We haven’t had internet since our contract started 8 weeks ago. we have had 4 technicians visit, each one said they can’t help. we’ve spent 165 minutes on the phone to Virgin media help center over 15 different conversations. Countless e-mails backward and forward with the email resolutions team I expect close to 20. In the first days of the issue the problem was promised to be fixed on 18th September. now we are 8 weeks down the line and I am pulling my hair out. No one can give me a real answer of what the next steps are. we work from home and the data on our mobile phones keeps running out and only provides a poor connection. every call or email or WhatsApp with the Virgin media help team we have to start the story new, telling the person the situation and then they basically say oh just wait longer or oh I’ll send a technician, but none of these solutions are working, we have been so so so patient but I honestly don’t know how I can wait any longer. i need to know what is happening and when I will have my internet finally! One excuse we have heard is that the cables under the road / pavement have been cut, but our Neighbour 2 doors down has a Virgin media connection working fine. This topic has consumed my life for far too long with a repulsive customer service, this case has been handled disgracefully by any standards, let alone a reputable company. please someone, look into the case properly and help me find a solution.
