@virginmedia Anyway, would you tell me the correct contact details to escalate this to an official complaint as I asked three times in the whataspp thread and no-one gave us the info? I think the log of this thread needs to go to the regulator to see how bad it was.
-
Promises Rust
(@PromisesRust) reported
@virginmedia Cancellation could take a few seconds (a cancel button on virginmedia account page), a couple of minutes (an email address) so the fact that cancellation is such a long, expensive and painful process is a deliberate choice by Virgin. So they need to be stopped.

@virginmedia actually no, you shouldn’t be asking, it’s none of your business but since we’re here already: I can’t hear. gonna help me cancel it now?

@SueSuezep @virginmedia ..? Poor customer services..?absolutely no loyalty to existing customers especially ones of 30 years.. new customers massive monthly savings on broadband, old customers pay full price
-
Promises Rust
(@PromisesRust) reported
@virginmedia .@ofcom must surely be aware how difficult Virgin make cancellation. All they need to do is require internet providers to have cancel button on website like almost all online subscription companies do. I can't even escalate to .@ofcom as Virgin refuse to start complaint process.

@virginmedia Sure, we went through that for 5 hours, pinged between the same person more than once, security checked successfully multiple times until the final person decided we had failed the latest check and terminate the thread.

(@PaddyV4) reported
@virginmedia Thank you - i appreciate the reply. Nonetheless there has been an intermittent issue for weeks, if not months. Given inability to fix this over that time, I’m honestly pretty low on confidence and you have this in hand.

@virginmedia had your customer retention team literally hang up on me when they said they put me through to the cancellation team? Spent an hour trying to get through, and now I have no way of actually cancelling my contract. Feel like I’m being mugged

@virginmedia This happens at least once a week and nothing has been done. We have made phone calls etc. We want out of the contract if you are not providing us with the service we were promised by signing an agreement with you.
