can’t make an account
When I set up my contract I never received an email or an account number or area reference. I then later recieved a text message from virgin telling me that my email address no longer existed so i had to register but I cannot make one due to having no account number or area reference. After about 30 mins on the phone about a month ago I managed to get through to an actual human and I explained my situation and was told that a letter would be sent to my address with a code to be able to set up my account over the phone. I still have not received this eventhough I was told i would receive the letter within a week. Also, my direct debit is no longer working to pay so I now have to make payments over the phone and I have to pay £7 more each time as they give me a late fee. I am so unhappy with my experience that has been ongoing for months.Direct debit changes and money taken
I've tried to change the account my direct debit comes out of. It said I needed to make a payment before it would let me do that. So I paid the amount it said using my debit card, got a confirmation email, and tried to do the rest. The website and app are both telling me I still need to make a payment, and it is saying a payment will be taken next month (even though I just paid). I've tried using the AI advisor but it either doesn't answer my request properly or it says it'll send me a WhatsApp which never arrives. I tried phoning and it just said "we'll send you a link to change your DD", and then hungup. So, my questions are: 1) why won't it recognise that I've made the payment? 2) why won't it let me change my DD? 3) Why can't I just speak to a person that could give me the information I need, resolve the issue with the payment, and change the direct debit?Direct Debit was set up without my awareness
A few days ago, I received a letter from Virgin Media saying that I had authorised payment by direct debit. However, at no point while filling in the new customer form did I give this authorisation. In fact, my first payment was made by bank transfer. I rang the support line to find out what had happened and was asked if I had given my IBAN at any point. I said yes, because the form requests this obligatory information. Apparently, from what I was told, this is enough to authorise the direct debit even without my express consent. Is this really how the process works? It is not a problem having the direct debit set up, but I dislike being forced to do something without being told in a transparent way and I would like to understand the situation.Account Restricted after midnight
My services are currently restricted from a missed payment which i understand. But putting the restriction on at gone midnight (00.30) is stupid, as I paid the minimum amount so I could get my services reactivated (within 10 minutes as it is stated) at 01.00 and and 4 and half hours later still not been reactivated. If I was restricted whilst customer service was open, it would have been sorted within minutes and not have to wait hours.£374 late fee showing on final bill, with email saying that its been covered.
Hey all, I recently moved to an area that was not covered by Virgin, they said if i showed them proof of adress the would cover the bill; Upon sending them the proof they said that the bill has been covered, fast foward to me checking my final bill on this website, it says that I still owe for the early disconnection fee. The other confusing part is that on the bill it says "Paid" in green, but the payment date hasn't passed yet. Any clarification would be great, thank you. George
Web chat doesn't open
Web chat just doesn't work. I'm in process of cancelling and keep missing VM phone calls, trying to connect while I have time on chat (phone takes too long to get through when I call out) but web chat will not open in any browser. Please can someone from VM contact me to resolve. Thanks, JamesMoving home with Virgin is a nightmare
I just raised my second complaint with Virgin today cause noone was able to fix my bill in the last 4 weeks and the bill is £125 instead of £34! and imagine this when you are on direct debit and you are on a tight budget and you must pay the triple of what you should do cause someone made a mistake and noone is able to fix a simple mistake on the bills. They just put me on a new £60 contract without my consent when we moved, even when I asked the lady 3 times when I let them know we move to make sure my contract wont be changed when we move. And she said no absolutely not I don't need to worry It's so stressful that I decided to leave Virgin today, I rather pay couple of pounds extra but I know if there is an issue someone is there to support at least. My direct debit is due in 3 days I had to cancel the DD from the bank cause noone is able to afford their mistakes and negligence. And again this might affect my credit score because of an incorrect bill. Did anyone else had this issue with them? Customer service is just soo slow and terrible I am completely cluelessCharged for wrong speed for 18 months!
My 18 months contract was up for renewal so called to see what my options were. We'd always been a 500mb customer and recently upgraded to a VOLT 1Gig package. To my surprise (shock), I was told the maximum speed at my property had ALWAYS been 350mb. This means I've been potentially overpaying hugely for the past 18 months, despite any discount offered. Anyone else experienced this and claimed compensation back as such. I have the documents stating that all of these services were put in place, we even had some guys come over and dig up the road for the 1GIG updated! Thanks, A
