I don't know why they make everything so difficult, every time I need a VAT invoice, I have to jump through hoops and speak to 5+ different people before I get them, it's just not necessary and wastes everyone's time.

Compleat rip off Took out internet with virgin which was advertised as no installation fee they then tried to charge me £80 for installation, when I contacted them I could only get through to a Indian call center who were extremely unhelpful. Eventually I made a complaint ant they removed the installation fee but thry refused to send me a correct bill and insisted I had to pay the bill that was originallyvsentv (that included the installation fee) then they would remove the amount from a later bill but would not put anything in wrighting. Then they added a late fee charge into the bill because they refused to send the correct bill

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.

I've only given one star because I can't leave 0. When my father died 4 years ago we spoke to the bereavement team to inform them and was told if we cancelled we would loose the number that they have had for 60 years. My mum was so anxious over any change we just stayed, a decision we have regretted ever since. Virgin Media have been calling mum consistently for months and she has been saying that she doesn't understand what they are saying and could they put it in writing, no letter has ever arrived. In January when I rang her she was so upset as she hasn't been able to make any outgoing calls, she is 89 and lives alone. Virgin had switched her to digital without us knowing. We have tried in vain to speak to someone at Virgin and finally after hours and hours of my poor husbands time we finally spoke to someone who told us we needed to log into the Virgin Media account that was in dad's name and only he knows the password!!! She finished with "If you can't get into your account I can't help you". Left with no options we transferred her over to BT and as soon as we stopped the standing order and wrote to them telling them we were doing so they finally contacted us. Angry, disgusted and exasperated are just a few descriptive words I can conjure up. I hope we never have to deal with this company ever again and the only good thing that has come out of it is that as my mum was forced to take a new number Virgin Media will no longer be able to harass her!

Scammers in customer service call center. I was asked for my personal email address password in order to create a VM online account. Don't ever give your personal email address password to anyone. This is a scam. Virgin Media couldn't have cared less. Stay away from this company at all costs. Virgin Media customers beware!!! Scammers on the staff!!!!

Virgin Media gives the worst possible customer service on this planet. I have been calling them for five hours today. Wasted a day and got nowhere. But unlike everybody else here - here's something to think about... I supply Richard Branson's stationery. I have his personal number. I'm going to call him!!
