Outstanding balance email sent before next scheduled direct debit date
Dear Virgin Media This morning, Monday 3th November 2025, I received an email from payments@notifications.virginmedia.co.uk stating that there is an outstanding balance on my broadband account. The email states that this could be because I missed a payment due date or there was a problem taking your payment. To be clear, I have not missed a payment. After logging into my Virgin Media account, I confirmed that my next payment date is Wednesday 5th November 2025 and there is no outstanding payment from my last bill. The direct debit for that bill was taken on Monday 6th October 2025. As you can imagine, I am concerned and confused by this notification. My direct debit details are correct in my Virgin Media account, so I do not plan to make an early payment and will allow my direct debit to take payment as scheduled on Wednesday 5th November 2025. Please explain why I received an outstanding payment request when my balance is clear and confirm that I will not incur any late fees as a result of a payment request issued before my scheduled direct debit. I look forward to hearing from you. ThanksMaking a payment over the phone
Hi, The option to make a payment on the phone by dailling 150 seems to have been removed. Selecting 2 for non-tech issues no longer gives a payment option but only lets you speak to someone and has resricted hours. How can a payment be made during non-office hours? --IanCharged Twice
I have a direct debit set up to pay my broadband bill from the joint bank account I share with my partner. This goes out of my account around 10 days before my bill due date. This month, on my bill due date, I was also charged from my own personal bank account for my broadband, being marked as a ‘Subscription’ to Virgin media. I don’t have a direct debit set up from this account, and my bill was already showing as paid. Why was I charged twice? How can I get a refund? How can I stop it from happening next month? The helpline just sends me in circles, sending me a text to set up a new direct debit and ending the call. thanks.
Won't let me pay online using card.
So I've been trying to pay my VM bill but suddenly it won't accept my payment method at all and it keeps being declined. I had a similar issue some years back but can't remember how I solved it. When I had that issue VM told me to contact my bank which I did but the bank just told me that it was an issue with VM and I needed to sort it out with them. So here we go again and I'm so fed up of this mess. This is one of the reasons I'm looking to leave VM but right now I want to pay my bill. So does anyone know of a solution because I don't want them charging me late fees? Thanks in advance.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.£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. GeorgeMoving 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 clueless
