“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!!”

“Been without services (tv, broadband and phone) for 5 weeks now. The contempt they treat there customers with is unbelievable. Would tell you a engineer is booked, no one would turn up and then you would get a text message the FOLLOWING day to say they had to reschedule. Been on the phone several times but never able to speak to a supervisor. Was promised a call back but surprise, surprise none. Honestly don't waste your money with this company. Shockingly poor service, just been told that my repair has been rescheduled for another month from now, the excuse for the repair going to take another month is because it's a two man job.”

“Terrible customer service. Virgin Media are the worst company I have ever dealt with to leave. At the end of my contract how hard can it be to leave such a big company. Trust me nearly impossible. After 2 attempts on the phone on January 2nd I get the phone put downon me. So then I log on start the chat by text. My message was 'I would like to leave don't offer me a deal' but after 1 hour of getting messed around feeling like it was impossible to leave I agree to stay for £45 a month. Anyway a month later my bill arrives and it's nearly £200 I am fuming at this point. So again I ring the to cancel. The exact same thing happens as the first time. Twice after waiting around 30 minutes the phone gets rudely put down on me. At this point I am logged in again and chatting by text and also called for the 3rd time. The matter eventually got resolved but 2 hours of my time was wasted and I had to pay the nearly £200 bill and according to the cancellation person my final bill is £270 or something. I feel like I have been robbed by a company in the past I have had mortgages with , bank loans and still have a credit card with but trust me not for long. Its a company not to be trusted in.”

“I received a renewal invite to renew at same cost of £45 per month with an 18 month contract, however when reviewing the contract it appears they had drastically cut my services to get the £45 per month, very sneaky! I went onto an online chat who confirmed my renewal would in fact be £166.25 per month and after a very long conversation I was advised I was currently paying £92.32 (not true), it was then reduced to £76.75 and after more conversations via online chat and telephone calls reduced to approx £56. I have decided to cancel with Virgin Media due to these stupid conversations every time the contract is up for renewal. At the end I gave them their 30 day notice however I was then advised I would have to pay a termination fee but it would get refunded approx. 45 days later, there is no way I will be paying a termination fee and waiting for a refund, direct debit has been cancelled. I have no idea why my monthly fee was being increased by almost 370% (from £45 to £166.25 per month) especially during this dreadful era where people are struggling. I think we need to highlight the measures they are going to get more money out of loyal customers (I have been a customer for almost 30 years). New customers get treated better with much better deals. Shame on Virgin!! I will be very glad not to have these unnecessary conversations every year and be treated the way ALL customers should with another provider. My advice would be to stay clear of Virgin Media as they are clearly out to rip existing customer off!! I will be writing this review on as many review sites as I can to alert as many people as I can!”
