I don't know why it's taken me so long to actually leave a review for Virgin Media considering the 2 times I've used their services, it had bwen the worst and ALL the times I have spoken to their customer service support staff, they're either rude, nonchalant or unapologetic. I believe it's a reflection of the actual company itself. How a big global company can have a 1 star review from 65% of their customers and only 9% of cuatomers of the rest gave 5* to the technicians alone, and still be running is beyond me. After my bad experience with the broadband in 2019, I thought to give them a try again after moving homes and they were practically supposed to be the fastest BB in the area, and it was more of a case of being left with no choice. The installation process was fine, but the BB was extremely slow or barely working in some cases, and the free sim that cane with the package did not even work at all. After the 1st year, I called at the beginning of October to cancel my subscription with them, and the lady I spoke to over the phone mentioned that the last bill I received will be my last bill simply because I pay in advance. She instructed to cancel the direct debit once the last payment has been made, which I did. She also mentioned any other bill after that I should not worry about as this usually comes but gets cancelled out as I had called in time to cancel the subscription. A bill came in November that was more than usual bill, and a lover one in December (2 months after cancellation). The last bill was sent on the 8th of December, for paent on the 28th of December 2022. Unbeknownst to me that Virgin had added to my record that I missed a payment in November and defaulted the december bill also, on the 12th of December 2022. All the while, when my credit score went down in Jan 2023, I thought it was due to using my credit card a lot over Christmas. After a year of actively trying to build my credit back to excellent from poor, and absolutely no progress was made, I decided to look deeper into what was affecting my credit, and it turns out Virgin had added to my record that I missed a payment in November and defaulted the december bill. How do you default a bill on the 12th of December, it was sent on the 8th of December for payment by the 28th of December. Over a year down the line, when I realised this, I gave them a call, they are telling me this bill was generated because Virgin was not able to close down my account and cancel the subscription when I requested for it, the said because they were transferring the landline number to the new provider, they were not able to cancel the subscription, which was not communicated to be in anyway, this then generated a new bill and I'm expected to pay it Who gets a bill from an old provider 2 months later with no explanation, no calls, no emails, no text, nothing. And, when I have called to speak to them, all they can explain is that there's nothing they can do, it was my final bill, generated because they did not cancel the subscription when they were meant to, and I am to pay a bill that was generated by them. There was absolutely no apologies, the phone call was disconnected multiple times, ai was on the phone for over 2hrs and there was absolutely no sokution offered for an inconvenience that they have caused that's affecting my livelihood and my children's. I have several friends that have encountered exactly the same thing from Virgin Media and have left their credit in a really bad state, they have faced no consequences and continue to run as a global company. This is atrocious, Virgin Media should not be allowed to bully normal vililians into paying they're trying to scam off them, all because they're able to mess up your name and your credit, they should not be trading as a company at all.
