  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

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

    @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

  • Fuck_Puppy **** Puppy (@Fuck_Puppy) reported

    @CollegeJocks @virginmedia @LutzSchueler I would say time for a new box, demand one, if they refuse you can early terminate with out a penilty as they not providing the service also request back you previous subs, then just take out a new contract and get a new box. Or go to ofcom, its been over days.

  • Charley26820327 Charley (@Charley26820327) reported

    @virginmedia I have an engineer booked for tomorrow. I spoke to an agent on the phone. Apparently its normal to have these issues. Not 5 times in 2 months it's not !

  • spencerdenham Spencer Denham (@spencerdenham) reported

    @virginmedia Looks like it has been resolved, without clearing my cache. I was in the middle of a support call earlier about my broadband. How can I request a call back?

  • chrispowell3012 Chris Powell (@chrispowell3012) reported

    @virginmedia So even it is your own fault, #VirginMedia employee breach the GDPR regulations, you send us forced bills which i dont owe, i chase this for 9 Months & you still expect your customers to wait more & loose their home! Is that what a loyal customer gets in return? #sky

  • CollegeJocks CollegeJocks (@CollegeJocks) reported

    @stribs44 @virginmedia @LutzSchueler Thank you I showed the technician yesterday this and he just nodded . I also told the Huw at Virgin this and it’s not worth reading I was told. They can’t fix the fault but they can take my money.

  • CaitlinNMB Caitlin (@CaitlinNMB) reported

    @virginmedia Being charged for a sim that is included in a package deal we purchased… we’ve received letters about Debt collectors coming to collect the bill off us when we’ve spoken to your customer service department multiple times about this issue. The sim was ‘free with the package’….

  • JohnUTFT John (@JohnUTFT) reported
