@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

@virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

shocking service from @virginmedia who first tell me the wrong info & then try charging me 10x more then what they said for cancelling when they do not supply to my new address…
-
Coombes
(@StaceyCoombes) reported
@virginmedia Yes I know there is a cancellation fee, which I was more then happy to pay when your customer service advisor told me this was one months bill. But then to discover the next time I call that you are actually charging me close to 10x more then this is disgusting.
