  • amscaine Anne-Marie Caine (@amscaine) reported from St Helens, England

    @beech_mark @mcvity3 @virginmedia Since we moved beech they have been absolutely shite. Their customer service is non existent. They owe us £90 but can’t speak to anyone to get it refunded.

  • GibboLFC1892 Andy Gibson (@GibboLFC1892) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia So I stayed with you for another 12 months. With a clean account, our first bill in July reduced by £19 to £28. Paid the July amount, had a reminder to pay the August figure of £47, which had doubled from somewhere. WTF was my reaction. Paid £47. Not paying rest.

  • ListerTheStupid Rob (@ListerTheStupid) reported from Liverpool, England

  • Guitaraholic Paul McDonough (@Guitaraholic) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hay @virginmedia so as an ex-employee this is a bit embarrassing I couldn’t help with; but it looks like someone has fraudulently ordered a mobile and iPad in my dads name that were delivered today and he’s spent over 90 minutes on the phone getting the run around….

  • Guitaraholic Paul McDonough (@Guitaraholic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia He’s been told it’s been ordered online with his details and he’s been told it will take 5-7 days to investigate when I know it’s 14 days to cancel. He now had two devices sat in his house he didn’t order that need investigating and returning to you ASAP…Can someone help plz?

  • DavidWaywell David Waywell (@DavidWaywell) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @Iromg Virgin media not showing ? Any help ?

  • VeryGrumpyKev Kev (@VeryGrumpyKev) reported

    @virginmedia UC Essentials has a 30 day cancellation period. End of. That replaced my original contract (and I will pursue this as needed). As for complaints, opened and closed without resolution is a bit sneaky of Gian isn’t it 🤔 But I expect an audit trail will exist if that.
