Contract renewal 2024
Hi, im not sure if anyone can help, but I’m just after a bit of advice / guidance really. i have been with VM for just under 4 years, using for broadband only. I’m currently on the 1 gig plan and my contract is due for renewal in Aug. I have received my renewal offer email and this is slightly more than I am currently paying. I tried on several occasions to use the online chat system to see if any deals available, but got disconnected on both tries after a lengthy process of transferring and waiting. So I tried ringing the 0345 454 1111 number and got through to retention’s and a very unhelpful gentleman. Ive broken down below the info I have on prices etc; curreently paying 46.24 Renewal email offer 48.24 Retentions phone call offer 62.00 New customers are being offered the same package for 40,00 or 39.99 with an o2 sim. sky are offering a similar speed (900mb) for 43.00 I raised a complaint after the call, as I found the agent to be belittling and at times condescending, but this doesn’t appear to be very helpful either. VM emailed this in reply, “unfortunately, we will not be able to offer the same package as the new customer because they get a promotional discount at the point of joining Virgin Media, as you would have gotten while joining us and post that it will be a standard discount for the customers”. Although I understand this principle, it doesn’t really give the impression that VM have any interest in retaining customers or appreciate loyalty. What should I do? Leave and rejoin in 18 months? Take the slightly higher renewal offer and then another price increase in April? I normally would cancel and move to another supplier, but due to a family members current health condition, I really can’t risk being without any service during switch over and could do without the hassle at the moment to be honest. sorry for moaning, any help very much appreciated. thanksSolved2.2KViews1like6CommentsPricing Increase Notification
Got an e-mail notification of Ts & Cs changing in Nov 2023. It identifies price increases in Apr 2024 of RPI+3.9%. I am only 4 months into an 18 month fixed price deal. Will my contract subscription increase in Apr 2024 or when the contract ends in Oct 2024?Solved12KViews0likes65CommentsApril bill rise and June renewal offer
Hi Current bill is £50/month. April bill rise now £54.40/month. Renewal offer for June showed “My current package £58.80”. Where's the £58.80 come from? I’ve already had the price increase by £4.40 on the £50. Has that messed up what renewal offers are showing if incorrect? Couldn't I just renew at £54.40? Thanks for any help - but I was brought here by the VM help page and don’t think a board exists for my enquiry.309Views0likes0CommentsRPI Price Increase - confused about email
Hi, I recently renewed by contract for broadband and landline on 15th February. I'm a little confused as during the negotiations with the retentions team member on the phone, I was informed that I would not be subject to the annual RPI related price increase until April 2025. When checking my online account, it shows the same thing (screenshot attached). However, I've received an email on 7/3/24 which suggests I am subject to the price increase next month. I'm rather confused as to which applies to me, as if I am subject to increase, then I was potentially misled by the retentions team. Please could someone from the Virgin Community Forum Team help clarify this please? Thanks496Views0likes3CommentsHome Move leading to a new contract
Hello, I moved home around December 2022. And initiated a home move during the month of November 2022. In completing the home move, I noticed that my contract date was changed to what would equal 18 months from the date of my home move. I had not changed anything in relation to the contract / pcakage and kept it the same. I called VM up to ask why this was the case. To which I was reassured it was a system technicality and would be resolved to reflect my original contract end date. However, as I approach my contract end date. Where my offers are going to fall off, my contract remains extended for an additional 3 months. I wouldn't necessarily have minded this, if the offers remained until the end of the contract. However, my price is set to hike dramatically, leading to an increase for the last 3 months on this amended contract, to which I was assured would not be amended from the original contract period. I would really appreciate if this can be addressed. As prior to this, I would have been inclined to stay with VM. However contingent on how this is dealt, it could force me to move to another provider.676Views0likes5Comments
