  Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported 2 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 7 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

  Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

  @virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

  @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 26 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

  liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported 27 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now

  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 27 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported 32 minutes ago 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

  @gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 42 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

  Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported 46 minutes ago from Newburn, England

  @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported 47 minutes ago from Hebburn, England

  @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 57 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

• 
  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 59 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  @virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

  @virginmedia your customer service is shocking. I suggest you get someone to reach out to me and organise a phone call right now. You are very close to losing a customer Shocking!

  @virginmedia @Craig_A_D Had 6-7 months of issues with my Virgin Media system, still payed my monthly bill and still waiting to be compensated. Not good enough.

  @virginmedia as a loyal Customer all you want is a good service and for your Internet to be working but it’s so difficult to get through to you. I’ve lost out on a days work. If it continues I would be cancelling my direct debit due to lack of Customer Service and lack of servic
