This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

My contract started on the 13th of June and beforehand we specified on the phone that I have no cables whatsoever and they need to sort this out on which they agreed. There should be a record of this for training and monitoring purposes. Next, my virgin kit arrived but I didn't have cables something we'd already discussed by phone when I was creating thi...

Virgin Media Virgin Broadband

I called Virgin Internet to end my contract. Customer service started offering discount up to 60%! When questioning why this offer was not provided earlier they had no answer. In the end they said that I will have to pay final bill for 30 days notice period . No discount was given in this instance. Where is the customer service in this instance? On top of it the staff was offering discount like a chariity or alms.

Virgin Media Answer service not working.

Today spent 2hrs 30 mins on trying to sort out a simple problem. Answer service not working. Could not understand a word that was said, even when asked to speak slowly not v much better. Husband could not understand anything either. This a problem as he is the account holder ! Surely any conversation needs to be understood by both parties to enable a resolution. I had to go through security questions 4 times, even when the phone call was incoming. At this moment do not know whether the problem has been resolved or not. Can not face going through all that again. While dealing with this spotted on the bill that we pay £ 5 a month for Kid pick. Asked for this to be cancelled, £3 taken off bill. When I pointed out it should be £5 off he went to speak to his manager. That was the last I heard from anybody. The service received was not satisfactory or fit for purpose.

Desired outcome: Answer service working. Line beeps to be correct re whether message or not. £5 off bill for unrequired kid pick. Ability to speak to someone I can understand.

Virgin Media Product return

I was sent some packaging to return some kit and wires because I cancelled because I couldn't afford your ripoff prices.

So would like complain about the absolutely awful packaging I was sent which is just enough for the box.

I also arranged for it to be picked up and they arrived too early .

I have enclosed a photo of said box and wires and absolutely totally inadequate box.

Desired outcome: To pick up the kit from my property at my convenience .Steven Barrett9 pebble closeStourbridge DY81LE

Virgin Media Free gift, socking customer service

Terrible customer service, terrible internet connection and they are deceiving the customers with the free gifts, what you are never receiving.

Today I have contacted customer service again, and he told me, it is my fault not receiving the free gift, because I am calling them everyday and they have to raise the issue to the team everyday, and that is why the complaint not going anywhere.

The service what they are providing the lowest so far from all.

Desired outcome: I want my free hardware.

25th August

We telephone around 14:00 to be informed that no installation was taking place and eventually were told that your installation team couldn't fulfil the order. We are left with No broadband, No phone, No TV and NO UPDATE WHATSOEVER !

I have now received notification that O2 is going to bill me for the Sim they sent which has not been used as I have a contract with Vodafone so discarded the Sim. So far I am unable to cancel that contact as I haven't got all the security required. I have spent about 7 hours now on trying to find a way forward without any assistance or notifications from Virgin Media whatsoever. Please can someone from the complaints team look into this issue and provide us some much needed assistance.

Virgin Media Payments disputes.

My son signed a contract with Virgin Media over 20 years ago. His circumstances changed and he moved in to live my wife and I. We then took over payments for the V.M. contract and last year we cancelled due to poor service concerning the TV.

He gave the necessary 30 days cancellation notice but, due to technical problems the V.M. service was extended beyond the set date and a payment was made from my credit card.

Since then my son has been receiving demands for a payment and, despite letters to the Customer Services Director and phone calls to other staff members the matter is still not resolved as of 28/01/2022. In the past I have spoken to various V.M. personnel and they frequently used the excuse that I was not the account holder. Understandable in many ways, even though I explained the situation to them on a number of occassions. The dates for the claimed amounts have not been stated, merely a demand as shown by their accounts. No dates or reasons. The latest action is a letter from a debt collection agency.

Despite their claims to only deal with the account holder V.M. set up an access password with me and also accepted a further payment from my Barclaycard.

The contract was cancelled, by phone on 13th. Sept. 2021. A bank standing order for £92.00 was made on 13th Sept. 2021. and this would cover the period up to 13th. Oct. 2021. A credit card payment of £98.47 was made to V.M. on 17th. Oct. 2021 and this would cover a period to at least 13th Nov. 2021.

My new T.V. and B.B. supply was completed on 5th. Nov 2021.

I have records of dates and times of many phone calls made to V.M. and, as they record incoming phone calls they are in a position to check the veracity of my claims, although from their lack of co-ordinated response they appear not to have done that. Due to the fact that my son suffers from severe ill health problems and that I have been responsible for all account payments for many years I would have expected to behave responsibly and sympathetically. No such luck. A phone call from V.M. today was ended by them because my son did not remember the password that I had previously set up and couldn't provide account details. Not surprising as I have paid the account for many years.

Desired outcome: Would appreciate a named person together with his/her clear contact details to deal with the problem.

Virgin Media M100 Fibre Broadband

I have moved and the Virgin Media team have lied to me over and over again. They contradict one another and blame every other team for failures so nothing is done but they constantly promise solutions they never plan to implement. They're forcing me to stay with them despite providing no assistance and no installation of broadband whatsoever.

When I did the move they said the property was ready for self installation. A lie. Technician comes, there's no plates or cables. Use the online service, they promise an installation before 6. No one turns up. I call customer service: the request was never submitted. This new person promises an installation before 9pm. No one turns up. Phone back this morning. No record of that conversation either. The installation team can't book an installation because the account is open. The calls team says an engineer is coming tomorrow. I call customer services. They say no engineer is coming. I ask can one be sent. They tell me the technician has said the property may not be serviceable. So I ask to be cancelled without charge. They say they can't because it only may be unserviceable. Who can judge this I ask? The area field team. Can I speak to them? No. Can the customer service team speak to them? No. Who could? A line manager but they're all busy wait to be called for 7 hours. I stay on call refusing to leave, a so-called busy line manager speaks to me within 10 minutes. Promises to speak to area field team.

The issue isn't resolved and it's clear Virgin Media have no intention of doing anything about it. Completely unethical and illegal. I'm being forced to pay for a service that is not being provided. And they refuse to release me despite not doing anything...

Desired outcome: Installation

Virgin Media All three services

Before I will put forward my letter of complaint, I would like to point out that I have been a loyal Virgin Media customer for over 20 years and never complained about my service and paid regularly.

Due to financial difficulties, I had to revisit my outgoings and that meant downgrading my services with virgin media. I kept asking my wife to kerb her using the Lan-line as she was racking up a bill by going over her 60 minutes window.

it seems that this was, not the case as highlighted by your CS. virgin do not have any records reflecting my accepting the new off of £45.00 + £50.00 credit.

As I pointed out that I had to downgrade, it's beggars belief that I had to downgrade but stayed on a package which was near a double that i could afford and a fool not to go ahead with the new offer.

the cs agent would not accept my concern, I then asked to speak to a manager, but was met with a statement " the manager will only tell you what i have told you" so it would be pointless. I asked again by the fourth time and she passed me to a line spokesman.

Why I never questioned the full price every month was due to the fact that I am registered as disabled/mental health and housebound in and out of the hospital and my only window is the internet and my wife's phone habits.

I also asked for a copy of the call to verify that was made by myself from my phone lines [protected] and [protected]) Virgin Media CS.

To cut a long story short, I asked the CS agent to weigh the difference between having a loyal customer who has never complained for 20 years against my word against virgin's record database the agent, in question, never updated my instructions (July 2019).

I have never questioned my payments and had trusted Virgin Media so why was there no help to provide me with a plan/ service.
Due to high charges, i have missed payments and occurred bank and virgin fees for missed payments and again, why as a customer orientated media a service provider never contacted me for missing paments resulting to Direct Debits cancellations.

I have made payments regularly for 20 years that amounts to over £19 000 and why cs chased up my instruction ( noted and should have flagged up if I had financial concerns).
