@virginmedia My original package wasn't due to end until July 22. I've spoken to every department you have, over & over again...I go over the same old explanation with your people every single time & still, nobody in your company will help...I've spoken to over 3 managers & still nothing!!

@virginmedia But the team is impossible to contact!!! And when you do get in contact it’s always someone else’s problem, ‘oh I’ll just pass you onto my colleague’ etc. I’ve WhatsApped the help number too and been told it’s a long wait and told I can ‘get on with [my] day’ - absolute joke.

@virginmedia hello I’ve supposedly been transferred to the Customer Relations messaging team on WhatsApp but have been waiting since 2pm yesterday for an agent to get back to me, how much longer can I be expected to wait? Thanks

@virginmedia I do not want to be with you any more because you are doing my head in!!!! You have turned from being a very good company with good service to being the most disgusting people I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with!!!

@virginmedia I was told to wait in this morning between 8am - 12pm for an engineer to fix my broadband. It's now 2pm and no sign of an engineer. I was told I'd be charged £25 if I missed the appointment. I think I should charge you for having to hang around for 6 hours waiting.

@virginmedia In Dec, you sent an email thanking me for making changes & what I'd get from now on & it'd cost over twice as much as I was paying. I never asked for any changes & in one of the many, calls I've made, I was told that your Oomph bundle department had shut around the same time.

@OldSparky6 @virginmedia I’m never going with them again. Genuinely don’t know how they are still a company that is allowed to operate when the customer service is this bad!

@virginmedia I'm now waiting on a call from the retentions department (I missed one earlier)! I know exactly what they will say because I've spoken to them on a number of occasions...they will offer me a new contract & raise a complaint about the messing about you've given me!!!

@virginmedia I did that this morning & the person said they were in complaints department..he said I needed to speak to retentions & a manager would call. He raised a complaint Ref:C160622488. Got a call this afternoon where the manager of customer services said there was nothing he could do.

@virginmedia can you tell me what has gone wrong with your company!?!? I have been with you for years, without complaint but, since Dec 21, you change my contract, without my say-so & despite constant calls for 6 months, still nobody will take responsibility & sort it out!!! 😠😠

@virginmedia Can I just ask why it is that you can respond within minutes on social media (where the public can see your actions) but then in private you are ignoring your customers and taking three weeks to deal with issues? If you have agents manning twitter why can’t you pick up the phone?

@virginmedia as a former TV customer, now just broadband, I want to reconnect a TV package. I already have 3 boxes in my house can they not be just reconnected instead of sending my out a box?

@virginmedia Yep. Just been on hold for 1 hour 3 minutes and as soon as I got through it cut off. Sent multiple follow up WhatsApp messages and still nothing. You really need to sort out your customer service because I’ve been waiting 3 weeks just to get back into contact with someone!!!

@virginmedia calling takes too long, always on hold for over an hour, and they never deal with the problem, the person on WhatsApp actually dealt with it which is why I was wanting to carry on using WhatsApp?!

@virginmedia Firstly a refund of £351 for the Mobile part of the Oomph bundle as it was stopped a couple of months after starting the contract..still not paid to me! The Media part..nothing has been done at all..no solution..just continual pestering to pay by debt collectors or cut service!

@virginmedia I'm still not sure how me renewing my contract from paying £41 a month to £30 a month then means I have to pay £92?! I've had to cancel my TV package entirely because I can't afford it and then I get hit with a triple charge? Amazing

@virginmedia my business has been left with no internet and no landline for six weeks, we have called, so many times, I have never, in all my years experienced such a catastrophic customer service structure, I am still left with no internet and suffering financial loss daily

Hannah
(@Hannahbeliever) reported
@virginmedia I finally got through only for the lady in the phone to be condescending. Absolutely horrific customer service and I'm now left having to pay an extra £60 next month without an adequate explanation. I don't have £60 spare so who knows how I'll be able to afford this.

@virginmedia Utter rubbish, I couldn’t get to speak to anyone & that’s why I had to use, in the first instance, the triage bot! The very thought of allowing your valued customers to have to wait this length of time is deplorable. #virginmedia sort your customer service out!

@virginmedia Clearly you, nor any of the people we've tried to deal with via multiple channels have any intention of actually being helpful and trying to resolve this. And you can't even find the complaint so, we'll have to go independently. Not wasting any more hours being bounced around

@virginmedia Yes but you are missing the point.... its been down considerable periods all day, each day this week...surely what ever you are doing is not working as you are not getting to the route cause. This needs urgent escalation
