So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

@virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

@virginmedia We asked at the time of there was any money outstanding and we were told no. We were never told it takes 30 days to cancel. Again poor service from yourselves. I don't have the complaint number no as your staff keep hanging up

@virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

Hi @virginmedia. Trying to call, text, WhatsApp my wife today attempting to sort out our children etc and completely unable to. My contract has just been increased. Pretty shocking service and I'm paying more! I would expect some compensation at the very least 😡 #VirginOutage

@virginmedia Cancelled the account on 28th or 29th March. Was told by one of your staff members that the service would be cancelled immediately and that #virginmedia owed us just over £70. She also cancelled the direct debit, agreed to send a cheque for the balance to an alternative address

@virginmedia I have the App but having it confirm what I already know is no help whatsoever. Instead of investing in Apps that confirm your service is not fit for purpose why not invest in providing an unfailing service to customers. Currently you take money for services you can’t deliver

Bognor Regis, England
@virginmedia I have spoken, on the phone, and web chat, for over an hour, repeating & repeating that I want to close my contract, getting put on hold, pushed around staff, and eventual hang ups. I've never experienced a worse service. Sky were polite & excellent, in comparison.

@virginmedia (PS and any refund or compensation depends on you recognising I am not getting a full service for 48 hours +. Your customer assistant says there's a problem, your website says nothing wrong...I wonder which the refund depends on?)

At first I thought maybe I had an upload limit but in my contract with Virgin media it specifically states no upload limits. Have any other UK streamers had this issue?

@virginmedia @oraclematt I had the same but they reduced my leaving fees down to 125 as I was also angry.

Virgin Media has been god awful for months but it's gotten somehow worse the past few weeks. The connection will drop suddenly multiple times a day, sometimes for up to an hour. I've missed calls, work meetings, had to cancel streams.

@virginmedia It'll be quicker to write the letter. Also, I'll move the families mobile contracts while I'm at it, because I wouldn't want to continue to be associated with @virginmedia or any associated company. I knew w the law has been slow to catch up with the digital age, but this!
