Direct debits payments.
Hi all hoping I can get some answers and advice again!! Please if anyone knows But I like to know what to do and how to do it in the correct way. What's next ? I managed to set up my own VM account now so what I like to no is how do I set up the direct debit for my own VM account? And cancel the direct debit that is still an active direct debit on what was my ex partner account? will I have cancel the old direct debit payments first? because I don't want to be paying double and don't want 2 Active direct debits going on at same time Or will virgin automatically close his old account and the direct debit payments? will it affect my new direct debit payments with my own new VM account? Or should I stop the direct debit payments with my bank on my end for old one. so I can set up the new direct debit payments for my new VM account? Or will I get email or something with instructions on what to do and when to do it ? Hopefully it makes sense anyway thanks anyone
New customer
Hi everyone, I have read a few posts detailing installation woes and the ensuing battle for information from customer services. Here is my story, looking for any help or advice if possible. I placed my order on 25th March for Broadband, phone and TV, with installation on 12th April. Our house must be one of the only ones in the street that doesn't have Virgin Media cabling to it. Having not heard anything in the two weeks prior to installation regarding pre installation, I called up to ask when it was being done. I was told 'today', needless to say, that day was not 'the day', neither was the next day, but did get told I would receive a call 48 hours before, or that morning, whichever customer service advisor you got through to. They did turn up on 4th April to do the pre installation (after another call being told 'today', but no call from the 3rd party engineers, despite assurances that I would get one). They couldn't do the job due to a stuck cable rod, so left needing to do 'some construction work'. A complaint was escalated with the promise of an update in 48 hours - no update came. After yet another call on the 8th, I was told that they would be doing the work on the 10th, without fail and there would be no further delay. 10th came and went, called on the 10th at 4:30pm and was told that it was scheduled and they could still come (until 7pm ??!) I was told if they hadn't come by then, phone them back, which I did, and they said I would have an update at 10am next morning. No update again. Friday afternoon, I received an updated installation appointment now for 10th May, this is after speaking yet again to customer services, who still don't know what is going on, keep saying that it is some 'back office team' but they can only email them, and I would have an update in 48 hours. How familiar. 96 hours later and still waiting, but there was a works permit put in for a dig outside from the 15 April to 16 April, but funny enough, nobody showed up for this either. I'm sure this is all to familiar on here, but if anyone can give any pointers on where to take it, or anyone can help out, it would be much appreciated. Feel like I'm going round in circles.

I just received my virgin media broadband only to discover it isn't compatible with my building. It made it obvious to the agent that I recently moved into the place and she assured me that I'll be able to use virgin because it has been used here. On receiving the package I realised the socket is not virgin media compatible Is this a way of getting me to pay extra money to a technician to fix the socket because I made it obvious I needed this urgently. And because of this delay I am about to miss a lifetime opportunity Please send a technician to fix the socket. I am not paying an extra dime for this installation. Afterall you assure me installation is free. Or you can terminate the contract. This is pure fraud!!!Delayed QuickStart Kit Delivery
Hi, I’m reaching out to the community for clarification and assistance regarding the delivery of my QuickStart kit. Here's the timeline of events: 25th March: I ordered a broadband & TV package and was informed that the QuickStart kit would arrive on the 27th March. 26th March: I noticed the tracking information suggested delivery on the 29th March, but I didn’t have a tracking number. Services now say they start on the 29th March. 29th March : No delivery or tracking details from Yodel. I contacted Virgin Media via live chat but couldn't get an answer. However, Yodel’s tracking page stated they hadn’t received the package from Virgin Media. Sunday 30th (today): I’ve been informed that the delay is due to Yodel but they don't work Sundays. However, Yodel live chat keeps saying they haven’t received the package and can only update me once they do. I have been told by VM that it will take another 2-3 days In the meantime, I have no WiFi and am being forced to rely on my mobile data, which is neither fast enough nor sufficient to carry out the tasks I need for work. This is adding significant frustration to an already inconvenient situation. I’m stuck in the middle of conflicting information between Virgin Media and Yodel. Virgin Media: Says the package is delayed and blames Yodel, advising me to contact them. Yodel: States they don’t have the package yet and can’t help further until they receive it. This situation is causing significant inconvenience, and I feel I’ve been misled multiple times regarding delivery dates. I’d appreciate clarification on the following: - Can I collect the QuickStart kit from a Virgin Media location or alternative location to avoid further delays? - Am I entitled to any form of compensation for the delays, missed delivery promises, and confusion? - Who is responsible for ensuring the kit is delivered to Yodel and ultimately to me? Thank you for your help. I hope someone can shed light on this and provide a resolution as I can see a number of customers have experienced the same issue. Kind regards, MartinInstallation vs Delivery
Been trying to set up VM for a new place being moved into, New place has had VM in the past so no installation required, just plugging in, No-one is currently at the address to be installed, Asked VM sales to send to current address instead, which was confirmed, Tracking Order shows the installation address instead, Phoned up multiple times and each time the agent confirms to send the package to the current address, Inevitably, they keep trying to deliver to the installation address where no-one currently resides Is this an automated process that the agents cannot control?
