Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@SarahLudford) reported@Ofcom “@virginmedia made it harder for customers to cancel their contracts and then did not fully cooperate with our investigation. ‘As a result, we are levelling our largest ever fine under our consumer protection rules for direct harm to consumers’.”

Kingofsalemsdaughter (@salemsdaughters) reportedBBCs report on Virgin Media is 100% accurate. When I informed them that i had moved house to an area they did not cover they pushed me to stay until my contract ended. I had also had several technical difficulties to which they delayed any actions to fix the tech issues; what was the issue? i was unable to change my email. I call their customer service dep and neither of them were able to help me. This happened on several occasions Where i had to wait WEEKS for very easy to solve problems. @virginmedia

NewsTongue (@NewsTongueX) reported🔴 Ofcom fines Virgin Media £28m for blocking customer cancellations Virgin Media breached UK telecoms rules by deliberately dropping calls, transferring customers unnecessarily, and placing them on hold to prevent contract cancellations between January 2022 and September 2024. Ofcom received nearly 2,000 complaints and found the company's retention agents operated under a commission scheme that financially rewarded obstruction. • Fine of £28m — Ofcom's largest ever under consumer protection rules, reduced 30% after Virgin Media admitted fault and agreed to settle • Millions of calls "likely mishandled" during the three-year period

E i l i s h (@EpicLastSong) reported@virginmedia It's quite pointless even getting in touch with you, you closed my complaint when I questioned whether you're going to fix the pricing that you agreed was wrong. If you want to help the complaint reference is on the image attached.

Addy (@iadnan9) reported@ipa1869 @virginmedia Virgin Media fined £28m over 'deliberately dropping calls' and putting people on hold 'for no reason' Customers trying to cancel or switch were routinely put through the wringer by Virgin's customer service agents, an investigation by the regulator has found.
