- Online Renewal ContractHi, 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, Shannon44Views0likes2Comments
- New customer - acc not linking to VM appI 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!9Views0likes0Comments
- Netflix ActivationHi 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.Solved1.1KViews0likes38Comments
- Account RecoveryHi, I have been trying to recover my Virgin Media account as I cannot find the email and password that I used to create it. I have tried using the "Forgotten Email" link but when I do this and provide the Surname, Account Number and Area Code from my most recent bill I get an email of "x****x@virginmedia.com" (obviously the x's are filled in with other characters). When I then try to log in using what I believe that email address to be (any some other variations as well) I get an "Email not recognised" error. Given that I have forgotten the email and password I used to create my account it is not much use to not give me the email I used to create the account, or alternatively email me the address to my the email used to send me monthly billing messages (which is a different email address). I have tried calling the 0345 number but I am unable to get past the automated menu without providing characters from my memorable word which I also cannot remember but believe that I can access this from my online account. Can someone please help me recover my account as I have queries regarding my package and my latest bills and I cannot do anything without recovering my account and determining what my memorable word is!! Thanks in advance, please help!!98Views0likes5Comments
- Contract Renewal not gone throughOn 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?
- Contract date not changed when movingI took out a virgin media contract in September 2024, and moved house over the summer keeping Virgin as my phone and broadband supplier, and not changing my plan. Having checked online, my contract says "duration 18 months" but with a start date from my move, rather than the original start date. Unfortunately I will want to move away from Virgin when my contract comes to an end due to steadily rising costs I have been unable to negotiate down. Do I need to do anything now to ensure that my contract is ending in March 2026 as intended?23Views0likes4Comments
- £50 student Just Eat voucher nowhere to be seenHi, 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.23Views0likes1Comment
- Renewal IssuesSo my contract is due to expire in December 2025, and I received an email from VM with a renewal offer of £90.75, about £10 more than what I pay currently which I was happy with, so I went through the process and agreed to the new price, shortly after received the new contract details via email with all the same services and the new price clearly stated. So I thought everything was good and my new 2 year contract would start and I would be paying the new price. Fast forward a day and I’ve now received another email saying I’ve made changes to my contract (even though it states there is now added or removed services) and therefore my bill this month will be £193.64 and then £162.34 thereafter!!! That’s even more expensive than if I’d just let the current contract lapse and almost double what I’ve agreed to on the renewal email. Is anyone able to shed some light on this or help at all? Thanks!Solved65Views0likes1Comment
- Waiting for call from management after a complaint. How long is it likely to be?!Sorry but this is long! A month ago, I told Virgin I was moving house through the messaging system on their website. I requested to see if there was a better deal than my current package as I had been on it since 2014. What I expected to be a quick chat, turned into over 2 hours - they said they were experiencing technical difficulties. The operator told me there were 3 options that were better and then told me option 3 was best which was for volt with an O2 sim. She told me the broadband was better, (I believed it was M500 which can be boosted), free Netflix with adds, and I thought my tv would be at least the same or better. I am usually a cautious person and so asked many questions and felt her increasing, persuasion to accept option 3. E.g. ‘so, shall we go with option 3?’ My chat messed up and was keeping previous chats so it became very hard to get the correct points across. I was worried to come off the messaging as I would potentially have to go back through it all and with the pressure of moving house, accepted. However, it turns out she put me on Volt 350 and mix it tv which is worse than my original package. We have lost loads of channels. I am out of the cooling off period but called today and spoke to retentions as I feel they have messed up (been a customer for years). They offered me different packages at higher costs. I just wanted the package I had been told I was getting at the price I was quoted and that I had accepted. It has been sent as a complaint where I now need to wait for management to call me which can be 7-10 days whilst putting up with the pathetic number of tv channels and recordings we can’t watch. I was told it would be over £1000 to cancel the contract should I go to another provider. Awful- especially as they messed up originally. So, how long have others had to wait for call from the team please?73Views0likes5Comments
- New contract not showing in my accountMy contract was coming to an end so I renewed with a deal that was offered to me on the app. This was on the 15th September, and I received 3 emails confirming the change (one with the order summary, one with the contract, and one final email confirming the changes and my new monthly bill of £27.75). A month later, the changes still aren't showing in my account and it states my monthly bill is £65.97. I spoke to someone on the live chat yesterday who said the updates had been applied to my account but they don't usually take a month to show. How can I check that the new contract I signed up for is in place? Ideally before I am overcharged?Solved68Views0likes3Comments
