  • RockcliffeFiles
    Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported 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.

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 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.).

    Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, England

    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.

    Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @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

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported 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

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported 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

  • ZicoPete
    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 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.

  • 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

  • ZicoPete
    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @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!)

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported 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?

  • mickeywhizz
    Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported 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

  • Ne31phil
    Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported 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

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 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.

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 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.

    Kamran360 (@kamran360) reported

    @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
