Returning Kit
Hello. For weeks now I have been waiting for the prepaid packaging to return my kit. I've even tried asking for new packaging to be sent to me, but I have not received anything. Virgin media have sent me a letter, have been emailing and texting me about returning the kit. This morning they sent an email and text saying if they don't receive in a week, they will charge me. It's kit I do not want or need, it's ready to be sent back. What are my options, what do I do? Really getting the feeling they don't want the kit back and would rather take the money...4.8KViews0likes1CommentCancelling my Contract
Today I noticed that my bill had gone up, so I phoned VM to see why this is. I was told that my contract expires in 3 days and my discount has ended. I tried to see if they can offer my anything same or better, however after going through their customer sevice, then retation team and finally to cancelation team, they were not able to offer me anything near what I was paying. I have 350M, Phone ( Never use ) plus TV which I never watch as I have Netflix, Prime and Disney Plus. I used to pay £66 a month. Now they want me to pay £72 a month. I wanted to upgrade to their 1Gig broadband and they offered me at £80+. On their black Friday sale they have this for £57.50 plus 3 months free ( new customers ). I have been with them for over 10 years, play DD and never missed a payment. Anyway I decided that I wanted to cancel my account and shop around, however, this is where the drama beginis. The guys from VM started to tell me that I need to return my equipment and that I have 3 of these to returun. I sain no, I only have the VM TV box and the router Hub5. The guys started saying that I also have the Hub 3 that I need to return. I said No, I don't. Last year in Dec 22, I had an issue with my broadband and yous ent an engineer to visit, they replaced my Hub 3 with the Hub 5 and took away the old Hub. He started by saying no, they engineer would not take the old hub and that I have to pay £65 for this old hub now. I started to get **bleep** now, as this is clearly not true. Why would the engineer replace my old hub with a new one and leave the old one as well. Also if this was true and it's not, it's been almost a year and no one mentioned about this hub until now that I want to cancel. This was clearly VM trying to screw me over and forcing me not to leave. I know I did not want to leave VM but after this treatment, I'm glad I am cancelling my services and will move elsewhere. How can they act like this, trying to force someone not to leave by putting false charges. This clealry is not right. I'm looking into raising this with Ofcom. Usually after speaking to the cancellation team, they do their best to keep you, this guy was doing his best to make sure I leave. Amazing!!!!. I have 30 days until my services stop working, so time to shop around other providers. Funny thing is just after my phone call, my broadband went down for around 20 mins, but then came back on.Solved2.5KViews1like7Comments
