    Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

    Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out

  • maxinetennet74
    Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, England

    What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  • EmSatch
    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

  • geemiller71

    @virginmedia two nights in a row the internet goes down, yous are a bag of shite

  • geordievillan1
    The Geordie Villan (@geordievillan1) reported from South Shields, England

    3rd dayin a row on hold to @virginmedia to cancel my TV package and again its over 45mins no answer. Shocking customer service like.

  • ema_neale
    emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

  • hylt64
    Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

  • DJLKP
    LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • scotty8461

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

  • Bingerz123
    Bingerz (@Bingerz123) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Go on the open reach network my man. Essentially all providers use it except virgin meaning the competition is high for retaining customers. Usually aim for a 24 hour service visit from an open reach engineer. Virgin are the worst BB provider, period.

  • Urban__Groove
    Urban Groove (@Urban__Groove) reported

    @virginmedia How dare you give your crap partners O2 @O2 permission to set up a direct debit in my account without my permission? 😡 Next time you pull a stunt like that i will end my contract immediately and go else where, You thieving B******* 😡

  • markrmifsud
    markrmifsud (@markrmifsud) reported

    Thank god we have backup internet "just" and @FreeviewTV on @Manhattan_TV whilst we wait four days for @virginmedia to fix their service

  • CarlBateman
    Carl Bateman (@CarlBateman) reported

    @virginmedia My landline has had no dial tone for over a month and my repeated attempts to talk to an representative have failed, there's no live chat option and your "fix your landline" page is a joke with only three options. And why no call back option? How can I get help?

  • LonelyLondoner
    Chezza O (@LonelyLondoner) reported

    @virginmedia not me trying to leave because of the terrible broadband service. You convince me to stay on with upgrades and now I just don’t get network at certain times of the day?????

  • Conquistadur
    RR (@Conquistadur) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Just leave them they'll never get the money of you anyhow, and there's no way they can stop you leaving. Just sign up with a new company that will come to your house and install an order with no problems.. you are already disconnected, so there's nothing they can do.

    @virginmedia Hi again Virgin, why does it look like my engineer appt has been cancelled? And good to know that there is a wider issue in the area.

    I can’t watch the game. Not because I’m scared of the outcome. But @virginmedia has been down in my area since Thursday. Ya kunts

    For a service they failed to provide, @virginmedia isn't that fraudulent under consumer protection laws?
