Contract Renewal Chaos
I have a broadband contract which will expire on 5 Sep, the current amount is £30.1. On 30 Jul, I received an email from VM inviting me for a renewal. I followed the link in the email, accepted an offer which is a continuity of my existing contract with the same amount £30.1 initially, and then increased yearly. After accepting the offer, I received an email with the contract documents (2 pdf files), and another email with an order summary. The information of both emails are inline with what I agreed. On 1 Aug, I received another email from VM which stated my monthly cost is now £51.11, and the next bill will be £37.2. On 2 Aug, in view of these contrasting information, I had a conversation with the Whatsapp support team of VM. They explained to me that online contract renewals are by another team and they won't show on the system until after 14 days, then advised me to check with them again on 13 or 14 Aug. On 5 Aug, I received yet another email from VM stating my package amount is now £40.31, and the next bill will be £35.52. Based on the advice from the conversation on 2 Aug, I decided to wait until 14 Aug to ask again. On 14 Aug, I had another conversation with the Whatsapp support team. While they were helpful, they told me that there was a problem with their "package change tool" at that time, and there was little they could see and do. I am tired about the situation and having to repeat the whole story with the Whatsapp support team again. Would a responsible person from VM please contact me to clarify the matter.36Views0likes1CommentBroken 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!275Views1like13CommentsNew 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.18Views0likes1CommentNew 18-month contract but overcharged!
On 24th June 2025 I entered into an 18-month broadband & TV contract at £43.22 per month. I have since been billed £77.18 three times. I have been overcharged by £101.88 (3 times £33.96).How do I get this money back? How do I get some compensation? How do I get billed correctly? I’ve tried the chat-bot (useless) tried 0345 454 1111 and got links to a bill breakdown or how to change direct debit date (no humans, no sense). Agreed to WhatsApp chat (no response).38Views0likes4CommentsContract expires 18th September 2025
My contract expires 18th Sept 2025, but the offers that I have seen do NOT relate to my actual current monthly payments. I am paying £50.32 for M125 fibre, Mixing TV and landline on weekend chatter, (the landline, which is a TOTAL waste of money) I NEVER use the landline to make calls, mostly receive spam calls). Every offer that I have received states that my monthly payments are £63.32, which is totally wrong. I am paying £50.32 per month, so my offer prices should relate the £50.32 payments. I tried looking at an offer via an email that VM sent to me. I was stopped with a problem logging in to see latest offers at log in. Then tried chat and explained about my current payments and offers, the agent started my asking me about my usage and who in the family use the broadband and what for. I just wanted to look at my latest offer, which has not changed in the last two months.42Views0likes2CommentsEarly 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 appreciated31Views0likes2CommentsBill 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?38Views0likes5CommentsImpending Expiry of Contract
My contract is due to end in just over 5 weeks I current have a Mega Volt all singing and dancing contract and have been a very satisfied customer close to 3 yrs now. In my virgin account I have a notification reminding me of the proximity of my end date and inviting me to click on a link to see my renewal deals and an enticement that I may be able to pay less. I didn’t really believe the less bit Clicking on the link repeatedly took me to the chat bot which states you could get a better price using the bot rather than phoning. so I thought I would do that. I eventually go to an agent and to cut a long story short I was offered a renewal at 50% more than I am paying now. The chat system was slow with gaps of 5 minutes between my comment and a reply and doesn’t create the the right environment to start discussing tweaking the package. I said I had to consider my options and was told emails had been sent with the details. 2 hours later and no email.I appreciate the rising cost of everything in life. the main points are, why offer enticements that are definitely not enticements and don’t bother using the chat, it’s not a good way to discuss your requirementsSolved44Views0likes3CommentsReducing the cost of my account
Hi - I'm out of contract and I'm finding it totally impossible to reduce my package to basic internet. I have spent hours over the course of 5 attempts (both via messenger and on the phone) to cancel my TV package and renew my contract as internet only but every time I have been told that there is a system error and that I must try again in 24-48 hours. Last week I was assured on the phone that I would be called back today (before my bill tomorrow) between 2-3pm, I haven't received a call. I'm due to be billed tomorrow and I can't afford it, and have been trying to cancel for weeks now. I don't know what to do or get out of this extortionate billing that is impossible to cancel. Would someone please be able to help me? The customer service I've received over the past few weeks has been totally ineffective and a waste of my time. Thanks very much44Views0likes2CommentsFailure to apply renewal order.
I am coming to the end of my contract with Virgin Media at the beginning of September. I received an email from Virgin reminded me of this on the 30th of July and setting out my options including a personalised renewal offer. My current contract is for broadband only plus a virgin stream box at a total of £35.10 a month going up to £79 at the end of contract. The renewal offer was for the same value over 24 months which I gladly accepted. I have since received order confirmation and change confirmation emails but nothing is showing in my account and when I contacted support they could neither confirm nor deny that the order had been placed and said it can take up to 14 days for an order to be fully processed. has anyone else had the same issue?38Views0likes3Comments
