Virgin media withdrawn retention offer
After giving notice to cancel my services, I was emailed a revised offer, which I accepted. I then received written confirmation that the order had been placed and a Contract Summary Sheet, confirming a binding agreement. I was later informed that the offer would not proceed, with no adequate explanation. I acted in reasonable reliance on this offer and confirmation. The reversal raises concerns under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 regarding fairness and transparency. I have contacted Virgin Media's complaints team many times about this and am just being ignored. I am classed as disabled and VM know this and still ignore me knowing it will extubate my condition. What happened to the days when you was sent a offer you agreed to the offer and it was set up. Remember you sent me the offer you sent me the contract for the offer and then your websteam send this. Hi there, Thanks for placing your order with Virgin Media. We can see from your details that you have recently contacted Virgin Media to make some changes to your account, therefore we haven't made any additional changes. As you already have our services, any pre-payment that you have made online will not be taken. If you need to speak to anyone regarding the changes to your account, just call our team on 150 from your Virgin Media phone or mobile, or 0345 454 1111* from any other phone. Kind regards, The Virgin Media team Looking though the discussion board this seems to be a ongoing trend which is very disappointing, your ceo has not changed so why has your company ethics? I am hoping that this can be sorted by a VM employee as they have done for others as there is only 12 days until my services end due to my cancelaction at which point Ill be getting them from another provider and have no other option than take this to the ombudsman.Solved110Views0likes1CommentRe-contracting & free Netflix
My current contract is due to end in a few weeks, and was taken out before the start of the free Netflix offer. I have been offered a fairly reasonable new deal through my account page, which I’m considering taking, but I’m just trying to find out before I take the plunge - if I press the “Grab Your Deal” button, will this automatically trigger the addition of Netflix to my account, or do I have to go through Customer Service? Cheers in advance to anyone who can help :)67Views0likes3CommentsAklamio referral
I referred my dad to virgin media in June last year. His services were set up, all working since June. We were both supposed to receive our £50 each referral reward within 13 weeks but despite contacting both VM and aklamio, the rewards are still pending some 7 months on. All I keep getting as a response from aklamio is that it is down to vm to authorise the payment and they can’t help to speed it up and all I get from virgin media is to refer me to contact aklamio, which I have done multiple times. I’m sick of chasing, being passed from one to the other and getting nowhere! My aklamio referral portal is activated, as is my dads, the payments are pending but nothing more happens. This issue needs solving or I am going to have to refer it to the ombudsman.Solved78Views0likes4CommentsDisconnected Despite Renewing
Long story short, i handed in my cancelation in line with the 30 days notice at the start of December 2025. My last day would be 11th January. I received an offer to renew through email on 22nd December of which i accepted. Nothing updated on my system. Over the next 2 weeks i rang Virgin 3 times and spoke to 3 different people who all reassured me my connection will not disconnect and the new contract will take over. Fast forward to today, 12th of January 2026 and my services are off. I have phoned virgin this morning asking what had happened. I told them i called 3 times over the last 2 weeks to make sure this does not happen as i work from home and so does my wife so the broadband is required! (I have full tv / broadband /phoneline etc). They managed to reactivate this however this can now take 24-48 hours for everything to be back up and running. We have been unable to work due to this. It will reactivate at our normal contract price. They have said once it is back up and running give it 24 hours and call us back and we can honour your renewal. Has anyone else had such an issue and how long was it till your services were restored and contract updated? Any help would he appreciated. I am stressed because if is not back on in time i wont be able to work tomorrow either133Views0likes5CommentsOvercharged for M500 Broadband for 14 months!!
I have been charged £50.76 a month for M500 broadband since November 2024 which apparently includes a discount! Your M500 broadband only price was £33 per month. I'm also an O2 customer which is supposed to get a FREE upgrade to double my speed to Gig1. Gig1 pricing in November 2024 was £39.99. Can you explain why I've been charged £50.76 for Gig1 broadband as an O2 customer? Also why are you offering me the price of £58.88 to remain on the same M500 FREE upgrade volt Gig1 package when the price listed on your website is £26.99. I have been a VirginMedia/Blueyonder customer for nearly 20 years and find it disgusting that you abuse loyal customers in this way.118Views0likes3CommentsContracted service change hasn't happened
I'm due to start a new contract today. I'm changing from M125+TV+phone to M250 only. The change was agreed on 07/12/2025 but is due to take effect today due to the 30-day notice period. The new contract is still showing on my online account dated today, but the online account is still showing my old services - it actually says the old contract ends today, but the new one is supposed to start today! Although the phone is dead (not very unusual - might start working again), the TV is still working and my broadband speed is still M125. I've tried rebooting the router twice (7am and 1pm). Max traffic rates 143750047 and 22000047. Please could someone look into this?Solved118Views0likes3CommentsRenewal difficulties
Looking through the forums, it seems that people are having difficulties with renewals. Same here. I renewed for two years yesterday, got a confirmation via email but on my Virgin media it's showing that I still need to renew. How do I resolve this? Many thanks.69Views0likes2CommentsNetflix removed after contract renewal
I have just had a call from VMO2 regarding renewing my contract, I was happy with my price and I confirmed by asking that all my services would stay the same as my current contract. The caller confirmed this was the case, so I agreed to proceed. not 5 minutes later I get an email from Netflix and virgin media saying that my Netflix had been suspended due to removal of my payment method. And it appears Netflix has been removed from my account. How do I get this back as online chat seem none the wiser. Feel annoyed that it appears to be a mistake from the rep or that i was lied to.52Views0likes1CommentContract renewal link faulty
I'm trying to renew my contract via a link texted to me today, but get the 'oops' error message that the page doesn't exist. It seems to be a common issue on this forum. I have no intention of renewing at full price - who am I best to contact to arrange the discount offered?54Views0likes2Comments
