@virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

@virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests

@virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

@MartinSLewis It is the worst company I have ever dealt with and I’m now actively discouraging others to use Virgin Media. Cancelling is also very difficult and deliberately so

@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking

@virginmedia can you give me a direct number to call to cancel my contract. I've used whataspp / webchat and spoken to two people in last 24 hours - but to no avail.

@MayorofLondon Shame they provide the most terrible customer service and treat you like they've got you by the short and curlies! Pay £400 a year for a service, custome service agents are like robots and stuff you for days when it doesn't work with no alternative offered! @virginmedia

@virginmedia 8/ have to pay if it came down to a third party router intimating that the fault was mine. No appointment till Thursday! I tried to explain that I care for an elderly lady and he wouldn't let me speak and kept interrupting me which was incredibly rude. I advised him to let me

@virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

@virginmedia 9/ speak but he kept interrupting me. He had no help for me for having no internet for 6 days. He kept sighing and refused to put me through to anyone who could offer anymore help.

@virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

@virginmedia 4/ I work from home so asked what can I do in the meantime? No help given. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 15 mins to speak to Supervisor ( 45 mins total already spent on phone)..

@journokeith @virginmedia Good as in they acknowledged your existence was what I meant. That's how their "customer services" is set up, they don't have the staff based in the UK to deal with it and all they can do is what they are doing.

On phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.

Hi @virginmedia I ordered a new phone via my wife (who is already on Virgin mobile) last Friday. I was told to wait for a confirmation email which I still have not received. Can you help? I have the order No.

@virginmedia No link for my problem tho! I was told that I wouldn’t be charged until all my services were up & running and yet you sent me a bill dated 2nd June for £20 a month more than I had been paying on the contract u were supposed to be migrating. I gave me the wrong no as well….

@virginmedia That seems to be acceptable service to you though. I have been a customer of yours for over fifteen years and there seems to be no acknowledgement of that fact.

@virginmedia This same thing happened yesterday, web checker says all is fine. Then later on after listening to the automated call it says there is a problem. But it feels purposefully difficult to get somewhere with vm

(@braangirl) reported
@virginmedia My point is that the 14 day cooling off regulation is not being followed here. She should be able to cancel the new contract - which she STILL hasn't been sent the new terms and conditions of, 14 days later.
-
Craig Aspey
(@cr41g4) reported
@virginmedia 1) it’s not a first bill. It’s a continuation of service with a package change, because if I didn’t change package I’d be paying double every month. 2) I wasn’t told at the time of agreeing to the renewal. This is tone deaf from Virgin. Chargin double in a month. No.

(@sophie_yxx) reported
@virginmedia I just need to get the issue resolved. I have been treated appallingly. You left me with no phone for over a week and were going to leave me with no broadband for that time as well.
