@virginmedia No! I'm not a customer its @KezMH who you need to apologise to. Seemingly your lack of ability to even read this thread properly emphasises your lack of ability to provide acceptable customer service

@virginmedia I’ve been through all of that. A totally useless service. I’ve asked to be mailed an account password. So I need to wait for that as they told me no other way to help.

@virginmedia No they didn’t. Seeing as I can’t get the issue sorted with yourselves I will be contacting my bank and instructing them not to take any payments from you via direct debit

@virginmedia They refused to tell me as they said it contravened GDPR rules, I asked if they could tell me the minimum I needed to pay so as not to involve GDPR. They weren’t able to help.

Two days have now passed and they have heard nothing. They have no phone or internet and Dad is 80. Please can someone contact me and I will provide further details by DM. This is poor service for what you class as a vulnerable age group. I have tried to call you #virginmedia

@virginmedia I have also tried the text service, and have been waiting an hour and a half for someone to answer. I have tried the options it gives in the meantime which redirect to the website which still doesn’t answer my query

@virginmedia Would love to, but I've cut off 6 times, passed around 6 people and nobody seems to be able to fix anything for me. I don't have 3 hours to spend trying to sort this out on the phone being passed back and forth. And I get told I have to pay £90 to cancel? Cannot believe the cheek

@virginmedia it is disgraceful you have someone on a chat for 12 hours trying to leave your service and then the next day instead of movers you have me on to a retentions team. Plus another security check (3) with the same company on the same chat #virginmedia

I actually hate being on @virginmedia. The worst service in my area. A top day of sport planned and work but I can’t do either. Could accept this if it was a one off outage but this is the 6th over summer and all conveniently fixed before they can compensate for loss of service

@virginmedia I've just managed to get through and been told the earliest anyone can come is in a week. With no phone, Internet or TV I think this is appalling service

@virginmedia Hi there, Since Monday 22 August the tv service pixelated and the broad band kept dropping out. We were advised it was an outage issue that the virgin engineers were working to resolve by 1st September. Since 1st of September the tv and broadband stopped working entirely.

@Jake_BHughes @virginmedia apparently we have a blockage where they need to connect us, which is what we would need fixing by thursday. being that unreliable we decided to cancel everything with them fully. a shame because what they offered was great. customer service department is not easy to get round 😭
