    @virginmedia Hi Michael from your team telephoned me on wednesday regarding the complaint i made about the way i was treated by your collections agent after speakibg to michael he said that i would receive a call within 24 to 48 hours from either himself or one of your team with a resolution.

  • Shyman00 James Leeson (@Shyman00) reported from Redditch, England

    @LadyofLetter @virginmedia Same issue with BGT 😖

  • CubDJS Drew J Hoskins-Smith (@CubDJS) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I've moved house but remained a customer with no break in payments. As you can see, I was explicitly told to ignore my 'new' contract as it was just a formality with no changes to terms and I can't see any mention of paying two months at once.

  • LovesBunnys 🐰 Louise Owen 🐇 (@LovesBunnys) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia michael at support promised to call me back after 2 days and still not had a call back

  • beasknees81 Donna B (@beasknees81) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Help...!!! Got home after picking up the kids and my Internet is now down, the green lights are on the hub one flashing. Rebooted twice, managed to check the status online and says everything is OK with the Internet. Been like it for 45 minutes to nearly an hour

  • Howenblue Charles Shakespeare (@Howenblue) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia Last Friday I was promised call back by your Customer Care within 3 working days. I'm still waiting ....

  • LovesBunnys 🐰 Louise Owen 🐇 (@LovesBunnys) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi i tweeted you guys last week and im still waiting for you to come back to me regarding my complaint which was closed down before i was asked if i was happy with the out come which i was not, i have not had a resolution from my complaint and im still not a happy customer

  • Realtimeedu Lynne Taylerson (@Realtimeedu) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I am waiting, for 15 hours so far. Am thinking of ringing the upgrade or new phone line as I'm sure I'll be dealt with straight away then. Ofcom will be able to advise me I'm sure with help of @MoneySavingExp

  • LovesBunnys 🐰 Louise Owen 🐇 (@LovesBunnys) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Ok i think there has been a loss of communication from a customers point of veiw why would you say someone will contact you in 24 to 48 hours if they aren't, it makes me wonder why im still with virgin , as customer care is so poor i await some anwsers from you guys.

  • Tedtalks13 Teds (@Tedtalks13) reported from Aldridge, England

    here's another thing @richardbranson get your josh bayliss to search function eon in his junk email as i looped virgin into the email to protect time from their fraud - and the other ****** that tried to crawl up your virgin media shit pipe

  • LovesBunnys 🐰 Louise Owen 🐇 (@LovesBunnys) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi i would appreciate it if a response could be made rapidly as i have now been in contact with you for over two weeks regarding my matter with no resolve, goodwill gesture to keep me a customer, judt two calls from Micheal which were a waste of time still no resolution. Mrs Dews

  • baggiedude54 Ray Allden (@baggiedude54) reported from Birmingham, England

    @blaneywba @virginmedia ITV & ITV plus 1 & ITV4 not working either

  • lKalpeshMakvana Kalpesh Makvana (@lKalpeshMakvana) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia What a crazy unprofessional experience today when I called virgin media phone to cancel my phone and sim simcard contract...so now I come to know its handset and airtime both gonna separately cancelled. And I need to be very precise with day to call them again😡

  • bevvyxo_ ✨ Hannah ✨ (@bevvyxo_) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia ‘s broadband is so awful. It’s speeds aren’t as advertised and there are constant issues. for the past 48 hours the internet cuts out every minute or two. Over. And. Over. Again.

  • Realtimeedu Lynne Taylerson (@Realtimeedu) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Call charges are not as bad as the wasted hour on the phone and another long wait ongoing now for the text help service to respond. Seems @MoneySavingExp forums are correct about difficulty leaving. All I need is a PAC texted or emailed to me and I'll be on my way.

  • Tedtalks13 Teds (@Tedtalks13) reported from Brownhills, England

    YOUR softwares and products were back footed to defraud me hooked in on bill bob gates gap in his programme "and community of python con men" which the camera ip picks it all up bilateral to the fraud hooking in on virgin media @richardbranson best sort your shit out

  • CubDJS Drew J Hoskins-Smith (@CubDJS) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia @richardbranson @BBCWatchdog @joelycett So, while off sick with anxiety, I thought I'd deal with one issue; Virgin Media wanting two months (which we cannot afford) at once as we've moved house. I thought it was an error but turns out it's bad business at play. Look.

  • LovesBunnys 🐰 Louise Owen 🐇 (@LovesBunnys) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The complaint should not be closed down as ihe said that a team member would get back to me with a resolution to the complaint and a gesture to me, and then if i was happy with the outcome the complaint would then be closed.

    @virginmedia Very interesting how you’re being so patriotic yet let down so many of your customers. The way you treat disabled people is absolutely disgusting, I have been trying to complain for over four weeks now. Different people, different stories, different opinion is no consistency
