Wayleave Support Urgently Needed!
As many others have said, I am having a nightmare getting full fibre installed due to a wayleave issue. I was due to have WiFi installed Monday morning. However, when the engineer arrived, he said he wasn't able to complete the installation due to the location of the cabinet which required channeling some cables underneath our neighbours garden. He said that I would need to acquire wayleave permission from him and contact the wayleave team at mailto:residentialwayleave@virginmedia.co.uk. Immediately after, I went and spoke to my neighbour who is an 89 year old man, and he very kindly said he had no issue granting us wayleave. Online, I found this form (https://www.virginmediabusiness.co.uk/pdf/help-and-support/singleaccessagreementexample.pdf) which I got him to sign and I then scanned it and emailed it to the wayleave team. They replied later that day saying that it was the incorrect form and that that they required his email address to contact him. Due to his age, he isn't particularly tech-literate, so I asked them to send me the correct form instead so that I could print it off, get him to sign it, and then email it back again. They insisted this wasn't possible, nor indicated what the correct form was. The wayleave team then followed up today saying that they cannot proceed with our wayleave request (despite us already having permission from our neighbour), as the account and install had been cancelled. Based on this, I would need to contact the Customer Care Team. I then called the Customer Care Team and explained the issue and they said that they could not process a new installation at the property had been marked as 'Requiring Wayleave'. Therefore, an installation cannot be booked until wayleave is granted. This is deeply, deeply frustrating as we have wayleave permission from our neighbour, but Virgin Media are making the process as difficult as humanly possible. Please can someone from Virgin help me with sorting this request. I desperately want to pay you for your services and get our WiFi setup. This shouldn't be as difficult as it is given our neighbour is fully cooperative!
