No internet since signing up to virgin - Abysmal customer service!
Hi, I am a new customer to Virgin and hoping someone from Virgin can assist as so far no one has a handle on my problems. Since receiving my ‘quick start’ router, there’s nothing QuickStart about it!! I’ve had no service and no one seems competent enough to get me up and running. Customer services are all based overseas and extremely poor/unhelpful. Also no one from complaints team UK is calling me back to give me any form of update. I’m at the end of my tether and going insane over this! I just want is someone at Virgin to take ownership of the issue and rectify/resolve it urgently! I am being as patient as I can but a customer really should have to keep calling through and speaking to customer services advisors and managers based overseas who clearly read off scripts! It’s day 7 of no internet now, what has been tried you might ask? 1) customer services resending the hit/signal 2) 4x different technicians have been sent to my home several times now and customer services just keep sending them out to do the same checks expecting them to fix the issue. They have swapped out the router/hub 5 times (all previous routers have been deleted off my account, one added each time, automatic and manual hits/activation attempted). All physical items and cabling has been checked multiple times by the techs (pit, signal, cabling, isolation point, router). The techs say it is 100% an account or activations issue. They say they can do no more for me and have escalated the case to their manager who has escalated it to the ‘Field Complaints Manager’ I’ve requested a manager that is dealing with the issue call me everyday now and I’ve not received one call from them! The technicians say they’re not allowed or able to give out their numbers… 3) My account has been reconstructed - routers deleted and then re-added one by one to no avail. 4) The original Hub3 I was sent just kept flashing blue or white I believe, hub4 just flashing blue or white too, same with the hub5 I have no idea what is going on at Virgin as no one competent from any team (customer service, 2nd line/technical, IT, Complaints/Cancellations, accounts, sales) seems to have a handle on the issue or calling me to discuss the problem! I am losing my mind having to chase everyday and getting nothing back! If by any chance anyone on here can help me on here I would be forever grateful. I’ve completely lost trust in Virgin and their customer service is absolutely awful, like talking to a brick wall! If by chance anyone from complaints or management sees this post my complaint reference is C-1406241327. Please do call me I can’t be without internet any longer!!!Urgent escalation of incorrect credit report needed
Hi, I have always paid my bill via direct debit, in full and on time. Virgin logged a 'default' on my credit report for December 2023, but this is not correct; the January 2024 credit report shows a settled balance of £0 but this doesn't rectify the mistake. Because now I have a missed payment flag on my report which is untrue. After calling up & agents confirmed this is a Virgin mistake, I have emailed creditfileamendments@virginmedia.co.uk with all relevant details but their 21 day reply time is not good enough - I urgently need this matter to be escalated as I have an offer accepted on a property and need to submit a mortgage application ASAP, early next week at the latest. This means that I need Virgin to issue an expedited redaction of the missed charge to Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. This process needs to be started immediately as it is Virgin's fault entirely and my property purchase will suffer if this is not fixed immediately. Please escalate this by the end of the week and make sure that the credit marker is adjusted through the fast (1-2 day) vs slow (3-5 week) process. Thanks for any help from staff reading the forum
