Online renewal - hasn't activated?!

I received emails and had the option to renew my contract online which I did and received confirmation of this new contract via email on 21/4/24 - with an estimated activation date of 28/4/24. This date has came and went and nothing has happened until I received my new bill which surprise surprise is billing me for my out of contact price!

 

I called up last week and the phone team could not help me however i was fobbed off and told that it could take up to 14 days to activate. 14 days has now passed and low and behold the new contract is still not showing on my account. 

 

I can see that this has been an issue for previous customers on this forum. Phoning the virgin media number is useless - so looking for someone who can actually look into this for me? I have the emails etc as proof of contract so this shouldn't be difficult.

Funnily enough I also have this issue with a new deal via retentions as of 24/04/2024. My current bill generated on the same day is against my old out of contract contract at almost 3 times the price. The rentions person attempted to credit my account to compensate against this but it doesn't seem to have happened. I haven't had a new bill generated since showing this credit or the new contract price which is currently showing as active I might add.

Hi mattdinio,

Sorry to hear you seem to have experienced the same issue. We can see that you're currently speaking with Lee regarding this issue. He'll be able to assist you further from there 😊
