No upgrades or renewal offers…
Hi i am due to be out of contract in 6 weeks and for as long as I have had the account the Virgin media account portal tells me to upgrade my package or check renewal offers. However every time I click the links I always get a Sorry not found page displayed. Can someone check my account is setup correctly and tell me why I can never see any upgrades at renewal offers. thanks neal85Views0likes7CommentsContract renewal/loss of service complaint
I've been trying to lodge a complaint via the online web form but every time I submit it I get a complaint reference of '****' and it doesn't appear in the 'track complaint' tab under my account, leading me to believe that they're not being logged at all. I've called and gone through the online chat but both also seem like hopeless causes. Is there an email address to formally file a complaint with? I've had an absolute horrendous, nightmare experience dealing with Virgin Media CS on this contract renewal cycle and it's left me without any service at all. Ultimately, I just want to find out what is going on as I've been fed inconsistent information at every turn.28Views0likes1CommentNo one seems able to help!
I have had the horror of speaking to multiple VM agents, and o2 agents trying to find out why I am still being charged £27 for a freestyle contract, though this should have been finished with 3 months ago, when I upgraded the contract to a £41 a month contract. Instead I have now been charged £27 and £41 a month - an astronomical amount for a phone contract. I have been passed around to agent after agent, none of whom can tell me why I am being charged, as this doesn’t show on my account. I have an email from the start of each year telling me I’m a freestyle customer, with the annual statement - but this should have been upgraded with the new contract. This is near enough double what I am supposed to have been paying and I am shocked at the lack of concern by VM agents. I had been horrified by most of the comments on here and other forums about how poor the customer service is, and having felt the full brunt of it can only agree wholeheartedly. Please can someone escalate this issue, as I am nearing the end of my tether, and feel only an escalation to social media/ or a newspaper will cause someone to actually resolve my issue.34Views0likes1CommentContract Renewal
Hi all, just wondering what the best solution (if there seems to be one) is for getting the best deal for a contract renewal Mine s coming up to an end on 19 October and logged on today to sort my latest bill (another issue wont bore you with but increased package cost with no notification) and noticed the 'renew Now' offer. Had a look and to keep the same package I have now is nearly a 100% increase in the price I am paying now! I admit I have a good deal paying approx £70 and renewed that in April 2024 to an offer saying renew now an pay the same price as you have been only to be met with this monstrosity of a charge if I want to keep the same services. I have tried getting on chat but to no avail. Any suggestions? Given past experiences on speaking on chat etc they just try to say well if you take this extra out we an do this so always trying to add on which I don't want. I could do without some of the services I have like sport channels and stuff but very much doubt that will give me much savings. Any suggestions on how to approach this or should I leave it until I'm within the 30 days of the end of my contract? Thanks in advanceSolved55Views0likes2CommentsNew 18-month contract but overcharged!
On 24th June 2025 I entered into an 18-month broadband & TV contract at £43.22 per month. I have since been billed £77.18 three times. I have been overcharged by £101.88 (3 times £33.96).How do I get this money back? How do I get some compensation? How do I get billed correctly? I’ve tried the chat-bot (useless) tried 0345 454 1111 and got links to a bill breakdown or how to change direct debit date (no humans, no sense). Agreed to WhatsApp chat (no response).Solved148Views0likes10CommentsContract Renewal Chaos
I have a broadband contract which will expire on 5 Sep, the current amount is £30.1. On 30 Jul, I received an email from VM inviting me for a renewal. I followed the link in the email, accepted an offer which is a continuity of my existing contract with the same amount £30.1 initially, and then increased yearly. After accepting the offer, I received an email with the contract documents (2 pdf files), and another email with an order summary. The information of both emails are inline with what I agreed. On 1 Aug, I received another email from VM which stated my monthly cost is now £51.11, and the next bill will be £37.2. On 2 Aug, in view of these contrasting information, I had a conversation with the Whatsapp support team of VM. They explained to me that online contract renewals are by another team and they won't show on the system until after 14 days, then advised me to check with them again on 13 or 14 Aug. On 5 Aug, I received yet another email from VM stating my package amount is now £40.31, and the next bill will be £35.52. Based on the advice from the conversation on 2 Aug, I decided to wait until 14 Aug to ask again. On 14 Aug, I had another conversation with the Whatsapp support team. While they were helpful, they told me that there was a problem with their "package change tool" at that time, and there was little they could see and do. I am tired about the situation and having to repeat the whole story with the Whatsapp support team again. Would a responsible person from VM please contact me to clarify the matter.45Views0likes1CommentContract expires 18th September 2025
My contract expires 18th Sept 2025, but the offers that I have seen do NOT relate to my actual current monthly payments. I am paying £50.32 for M125 fibre, Mixing TV and landline on weekend chatter, (the landline, which is a TOTAL waste of money) I NEVER use the landline to make calls, mostly receive spam calls). Every offer that I have received states that my monthly payments are £63.32, which is totally wrong. I am paying £50.32 per month, so my offer prices should relate the £50.32 payments. I tried looking at an offer via an email that VM sent to me. I was stopped with a problem logging in to see latest offers at log in. Then tried chat and explained about my current payments and offers, the agent started my asking me about my usage and who in the family use the broadband and what for. I just wanted to look at my latest offer, which has not changed in the last two months.54Views0likes2CommentsImpending Expiry of Contract
My contract is due to end in just over 5 weeks I current have a Mega Volt all singing and dancing contract and have been a very satisfied customer close to 3 yrs now. In my virgin account I have a notification reminding me of the proximity of my end date and inviting me to click on a link to see my renewal deals and an enticement that I may be able to pay less. I didn’t really believe the less bit Clicking on the link repeatedly took me to the chat bot which states you could get a better price using the bot rather than phoning. so I thought I would do that. I eventually go to an agent and to cut a long story short I was offered a renewal at 50% more than I am paying now. The chat system was slow with gaps of 5 minutes between my comment and a reply and doesn’t create the the right environment to start discussing tweaking the package. I said I had to consider my options and was told emails had been sent with the details. 2 hours later and no email.I appreciate the rising cost of everything in life. the main points are, why offer enticements that are definitely not enticements and don’t bother using the chat, it’s not a good way to discuss your requirementsSolved56Views0likes3CommentsReducing the cost of my account
Hi - I'm out of contract and I'm finding it totally impossible to reduce my package to basic internet. I have spent hours over the course of 5 attempts (both via messenger and on the phone) to cancel my TV package and renew my contract as internet only but every time I have been told that there is a system error and that I must try again in 24-48 hours. Last week I was assured on the phone that I would be called back today (before my bill tomorrow) between 2-3pm, I haven't received a call. I'm due to be billed tomorrow and I can't afford it, and have been trying to cancel for weeks now. I don't know what to do or get out of this extortionate billing that is impossible to cancel. Would someone please be able to help me? The customer service I've received over the past few weeks has been totally ineffective and a waste of my time. Thanks very much55Views0likes2Comments
