Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England@virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia And this is why, I'll be reporting you to trading standards for fraudulent misselling/misrepresentation and then abdicating ALL responsibility/accountability to resolve. There's no security/DPA issues in you giving me a direct dial number via DM. You just don't want to resolve.

It's Ahmad (@AhmadX_Official) reportedIn 2003, 68-year-old Stan Beaton said goodbye to his beloved wife, Ruby, after she lost her battle with cancer. Among all the memories she left behind, one became his greatest treasure, a simple voicemail recorded on their home answering machine, preserving the sound of her voice. For years, Stan kept the same phone service for one reason alone: he was terrified that changing providers might erase that recording. Whenever grief became too heavy, he would play the message, finding comfort in hearing Ruby speak once again. Then, without warning, everything changed. During a routine system upgrade by Virgin Media, the voicemail was accidentally deleted. Stan later described the heartbreak: "When I realized it was gone, it felt like I had lost my wife a second time." Once the company understood what had happened, they launched an extraordinary recovery effort. Around a dozen engineers dedicated three full days to retrieving a single voicemail. They combed through archived systems, aging servers and backup files, comparing the task to finding a needle in a haystack. Despite the odds, they refused to stop searching. Against all expectations, they found it. When Stan learned how many people had worked tirelessly to recover his recording, he was overwhelmed. "All those people… just to help me? I never imagined a company would go to such lengths," he said. Then came the moment he had almost given up hope of experiencing again. Ruby's familiar voice filled the room: "Stan and Ruby are not available right now. Please leave your name and number, and we'll get back to you." Tears quickly welled up in his eyes. "Amazing… absolutely amazing," he whispered. With deep gratitude, he later said: "I thought I would never hear her voice again. They gave me back something I believed was gone forever. They made an old man incredibly happy." Sometimes the greatest treasures aren't money or possessions. They're the few precious seconds of a loved one's voice memories that can comfort a heart for a lifetime.

Carl Difford (@CarlDifford) reportedHey @virginmedia - work on your customer service training. Renewed my contract this morning, then a salesman rings me this afternoon trying to sell me an upgrade. When I told him I’d just sorted my package, he simply cut me off without a further word! Good day to you, too, sir.

Lee Manton (Λη Μαντον) (@mantonl) reported@biggle1908 Virgin media service is good & fast, great deals for new customers, but renewal time they are horrendous. Mine went from £94 to £247 overnight, call centres are useless & it's a massive battle to get to a sensible renewal price. Left them this year after 20 years because of this.
