@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

@virginmedia So another tonight wasted last night on the phone to all your departments and still no resolution. Still trying to make me pay your staff's mistakes. #virginmediasaga #thieves

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 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

Things that have happened in the time it takes for @virginmedia to resolve a complaint. #Royalbaby has been born, #Liverpool beat Barca, Maya got caught on #Emmerdale, #iran have threatened to change their #nucleardear. #virginmediasaga

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 Back up and working again I look forward to the next time your service fails - the worst service I’ve experienced since the demise of dial up internet and party line telephones 👎

@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

@virginmedia There aren’t any faults. Every time I’ve called, your advisors simply read their script and reset my router. Problem fixed, until it happens again. Not going to spend more time chasing you. I’ll simply look to another provider if needed.

(@THSpursMad) reported
@virginmedia why is your service so poor! As a start when you aren’t providing a service your customers have access to emails still… send something out to say you’re rubbish and can’t support a customer with what they have paid for.

(@Katywhite1991) reported
@virginmedia I’ve been offered the same package for £85 on Wednesday then £99 today then £110 an hour later!! Talk about terrible service! It’s impossible to find out your options as an existing customer and apparently every time you ask you get a different price! What a joke!

@virginmedia In an initial resolution provided today details of Virgin Media's breaches of protocol were omitted. In the initial response so was my request (again) for the recording of the conversation.

@virginmedia I’m not free from my awful contract with @VodafoneUK until 13/12/21, I’ve changed delivery date to be 11/12/21, but there’s nothing to say my contract will start then, can you help?
-
Alexander Andrews
(@Alexandergandr2) reported
@virginmedia I was persuaded not to terminate my contract on the grounds that the poor service and continued customer service failures were due to individuals and the pandemic rather than being a company wide problem seem to have been platitudes rather than evidence based.

(@Alexandergandr2) reported
@virginmedia I have, since last December, requested the recordings of all calls. I have never received one. It would seem that Virgin as a company is reluctant to had over copies of staff lying.

@virginmedia I was told 3-5 days on the 12th November. I called last Monday to make sure it had been actioned, as promised confirmation email never arrived. They said it had gone through, and it would be in my bank no later than Fri 19th. Today, a different story altogether.
