Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

“You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

@virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

.@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

(@damientobin) reported
@virginmedia I had to wait a long time and they couldn’t resolve it. So now I need to wait a week for a replacement box while still paying for a service I can’t use. Not a great start to my time with Virginmedia.

Anthony Murphy
(@anthony_murphy1) reported
@virginmedia Not yet. It has to be manually done by management so I shall give you some time to figure out what you are doing and see where we stand. But the next time won't be complaint, it'll be cancellation whatever the cost.

@virginmedia No sport for thee whole weekend. Got a great bloke on 151 yesterday at 11am. He could see I was again overcharged, but couldn't fix, so engineer coming out. Liverpool fan, but he was excellent. The 5 1/2 of previous calls wasted. No sport for a 4 day weekend

@virginmedia We were meant to get one Friday as a result of the complaint from being disconnected too early. Never got that. All you can do is apologise, but you can’t provide us broadband which in the middle of a pandemic is a basic service!

@YouKnowEh @virginmedia I'm out of contract with VM and have tried for over a year to get a returns bag for unwanted kit. Several official complaints and a written one to head office only resulted in 'we tried to contact you without success so have closed the complaint'. Out of contract = No VM number!

@virginmedia @barneyronay Can you tell me why your resolution team ignore a customers email ? I called your retention team on the 19th March to cancel my contract. The advisor didn’t cancel it. He renewed it. I put a complaint in, they replied and have now ignored 7 more emails from me

@virginmedia You can’t seem to do it from here or on the phone, you’ve took our bank details, sent the equipment and not provided the service. We will return the equipment and cancel the direct debit. Will just wait for for BT who have been superior with CS. Very stressful @virginmedia

@virginmedia No one has contacted us - we just want reliable Wi-Fi at home and to be compensated for having to keep using our 4G - essentially we are paying for a service we are not getting!
