Another contract renewal problem!

Like many others in this community, I was offered to renew my existing contract (online on 1st November 2024), and accepted, keeping everything exactly the same for only a few pounds more.  On 8th November, the contract showed updated on my account.  The renewal contract is showing different in my account to what I agreed to in my confirmation email.  In addition to this, I have received confusing contract information sheets showing my costs going forward to be 'zero pounds'.  This is most confusing, can someone confirm what my contract should be and the monthly cost.

    This contract renewal situation really is a mess. 

    If VM could have honoured my online contract renewal I wouldn't be leaving on Wednesday.

      Hi jleclf, 

      Was it the exact contract you were offered or a different contract which was similar and then a credit on your account each month?

    I was in precisely the same situation, I'm out of contract and my bill has gone up slightly.  i received a message from VM stating that I was out of contract and I should get in touch as they could probably save me money if I agreed to a new 18-month contract. I tried to investigate this via online chat with an agent named Prakash. after telling them that my current monthly bill was £98.21, they came back with a renewal quote of £125 for precisely the same package! how is this saving me money? when I stated that this was far too expensive, they came back with another offer of £99, but for a much reduced package, no Sky Sports HD or Movies (HD and UHD), reduced TV package, and reduced landline package. It was still £1 more than I'm currently paying. How is this level of information conducive to staying with VM?
