Judge for Yourself… Full Chat transcripts kept as evidence I was a VM Customer and joined O2 and was given an upgrade from 500MB to 1GB broadband. I was informed that I needed an upgraded router which was sent out via Yodel. Tracking said out for delivery on Friday. Delivery never attempted, tracking said “Please arrange to collect your parcel from our depot by using the Manage your parcel feature above”. I sat in ALL weekend as Yodel promised each day that it was going to be delivered. Didn’t happen. Monday 22nd Nov 2021VM Online Chat (took 2hrs) and informed them I was at work. Asked for router to be put to a shop for pickup. Not possible finally got them to cancel first router and send out another for pickup from a shop near my work. Tuesday 23rd Nov 2021 VM Online Chat (5 hours 11 minutes) contacted again as no sign of old router being cancelled or new one dispatched. 14:20, Nov 22 Alistair : Broadband TV or Phone 16:33, Nov 23 Ayat: Apologies for the experience, I will go ahead and raise a new order for you, Alistair. Is it a new Hub4 you are looking forward to upgrade to with 1 Gigabytes? 17:50, Nov 23 Ayat: Appolgies for the experience, Alistair.

Received a final bill with a demand for £240 for termination of my contract early: Thurs 6th Jan 2021 VM Online Chat (2 hours 15 minutes) 17:07, Jan 6 Meena: Thank you for your patience, I have looked into your account and I see you have cancelled services within the contract period and hence you have been charged early termination fee as per the terms and conditions Alistair. 17:10, Jan 6 You: you ugprded me to 1GIG and sent out a router which was never delivered by yodel. I even requested another router which was refused. So unable to use the service as you didn't supply hardware I spent HOURS and I have proof trying to sort this mess out with you 17:11, Jan 6 You: I couldn't use a service without the hardware so why would I stay with a provider that cannot provide? 17:29, Jan 6 You: here I am again over 90 mins repeating myself and getting nowhere 17:29, Jan 6 Meena: I am sorry to know about the hassle which you have come across Alistair, I feel really bad after going through all these and you have been so patient so far. Dont worry I will see what best can be done for you. But we could have definitely cancelled the order and placed a new one before cancelling Alistair. 17:30, Jan 6 You: but you didn't and as per the transcripts refused to send out another until you got the one that Yodel lost Back 17:31, Jan 6 You: yuou will see that the transcripts over the days contradict themselves 17:44, Jan 6 Meena: Alistair, I understand what you are telling but this is completely the issue with yodel and it was supposed to be dealt by them else we could have cancelled and replaced the order. I have tried my best Alistair, but unfortunately we cannot waive off the charges as you have been able to use the services and itcould have been resolved alternatively. But as you have cancelled it between contract, you was been charged with disconnection fee Alistair. 17:46, Jan 6 You: Did you not read the information i poasted?? 17:52, Jan 6 Meena: Okay where you not informed that you will be charged termination fee if you are cancelling the contract Alistair? 18:00, Jan 6 Meena: Alistair, we booked for the second time and you never waited for the delivery to be sent, you immediately put a request for disconnection Alistair. Please understand this charges cannot be removed as itsvalid from our end. 18:03, Jan 6 You: no, i made contact with VM as you had not even bothetred to disptach the second one. Eve though yousaid you had. Enough, I will now seek compensation for the time and stress your company has continued toput me through over these months I have now raised a complaint through offcom and seeking an apology for time, stress, lies and incompetence and now compensation too.

for two days now I've tried to contact customer services both days I waited an hour and then got cut off. disgusting service, I am now researching other providers. I've been a customer for many years and unfortunately the service has deteriorated badly. I just can't hold for another hour.

We had been out of contract for many years and were paying at least double the amount advertised in current contracts so contacted Virgin for help. We spoke to one agent who said we would need to cancel our current contract that was in my name and open a new one in my wife's name to get a deal advertised on the internet. We agreed to do this and were transferred to another agent to take our details. We told him what the first agent had said and although he did not sound very convincing, he said the new bundle would be sorted out with no loss of service or duplicate payments and an engineer would visit to install a new box. Minutes later we got a call from the first agent accusing us of not cancelling our contract so we now have no idea where we stand. Trying to contact via webchat proved a complete waste of time too. Absolutely terrible customer service and we will now do everything possible to ditch Virgin for good.

It is a company based entirely on scamming people. They called me and said that if I did the installation over the phone, I would be exempt from the activation fee. Then I saw that they added it to the invoice at the time of payment. but they told me it would be free when buying. Also, I had an extra referee discount because I was going to sign up with my friend's recommendation, and they didn't do it either. When I called, no one from customer service was helpful, the employees were always dismissive, rude and unprofessional. Think twice before you buy. Is it virginmedia, never again!

I raised a complaint regarding the poor service from virgin media. On 3 occasions an engineer never turned up and I had no broadband for over a month. Was promised and reassured I will be compensated and they will ensure it’s set up. In the end I received email advising they cannot offer the service at this present time. This resulted in me raising a complaint and deciding to join sky again. The complaint was not properly addressed and nor was I compensated which I was assured I would be.

I have spent the last 11 month trying to find out why Virgin think they have the right to remove the funds from my PAYG phone without telling me or at all. This is theft. Have even written to named person at the registered Office but did not even get an acknowledgement. The amount of money was small but the principle and the inconvenience were not. Most of the letters I got were undated and said the problem had been solved by them apologising. Needless to say, I am not a virgin customer anymore for anything. It is a shame that they obviously have enough customers not to care how they are treated.

Disgusting customer service. Twice they have taken money from my account that they had no right to. I have lost track of the number of phone calls I have made. One call handler actually laughed at me over the phone. I will never have anything to do with this bunch of clowns again. Nothing but filth. Avoid at all costs

Disappointing start! I have just agreed to an 18month contract. The engineer who came out for installation could not complete installation. He said someone will be in touch to rearrange but almost a week later I’ve heard nothing from Virgin. After spending 1hour 20minutes on the phone to the company today, in the middle of a work day, I was finally able to secure another installation date also tho a month from the initial date given. Should I really join Virgin based on this experience??

VIRGIN MEDIA STOLE FROM HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS.. Virgin Media claims to have a “Automatic Compensation Scheme” but there’s nothing automatic about it.. my entire neighbourhood was stolen from when we went 6 days with no service. No Internet. No TV. in July 2021 in Peterborough UK. My family household decided it would be better to cancel even if we had to pay the outrageous £250 cancellation fee. We have been waiting for a lock letter since October 2021… But instead we received a collections letter from a third-party regarding the full amount .. THE INCORRECT AMOUNT since they never deducted the no service in July 2021. I called virgin media regarding this mistake. To my utter shock and disbelief they were only willing to CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE if I paid the full amount today… it’s 2 days before Christmas and I don’t have £320 pay … Nor do I think I should be held hostage over their mistake. The phone call ended with him saying “I’ll send the lock letter with the full amount, with no revisions” …..we’ll that’s funny.. is that the same lock letter I’ve been waiting for, for months now!! But instead I get a collections letter, for an incorrect amount!!! Seriously disgusting… AND HEY VIRGIN MEDIA!! HEADS UP!! I have 2 News Papers writing articles about this!! So expect a lot more calls from Peterborough customers asking for their £50 that you stole from them!!

If you’re sat there thinking, dya know what? I’d really enjoy wasting some time whilst becoming excruciatingly frustrated - give virgin media a call. Doesn’t matter what you want to discuss, they’re guaranteed to make it utterly soul destroying. It all seems pretty good, clear button pressing system to get to through to the right team. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a team- just a heavily manned, noisy call centre- full of people who have absolutely no idea what it is they’re meant to be doing. 9 times out of 10 you will be placed on hold - then transferred to ‘the correct department’. Excellent. I called to cancel my outrageously overpriced virgin broadband - and after 17 minutes I was successfully transferred to o2 mobile. Admittedly- that’s a brand new level of are they serious - and at least made the experience funny. I hung up - depleted and somewhat tickled - I’ll try again tomorrow. I have not once, in my three years of being with virgin had a straight forward or helpful customer service experience - whether it’s being cut off mid call, transferred multiple times or spending up to 1.5 hours on hold - you can be sure that you query is not a simple one (even if it is) … virgin media customer service makes me wish I had amnesia.

Probably the worst company you can find doesn't even deserve 1 star. They said they would come 2 weeks later for the wifi transportation, they called us 3 days before and said they would come 1 month later, and they called us 4 days before and said they would come after 2 months and 4 days, and I called the customer service and said that I wanted to cancel the contract and they hung up on me. I called again and canceled after 3 hours and 15 minutes of conversation and they took £130 from me even though I was a victim. In short, a garbage company

Had booked an engineer to relocate our broadband cables (approx 2 weeks notice). Day before received an email from VM suggesting I review my services as my contract had now ended. Decided to upgrade our broadband and downgrade the telephone. Later I received a call to say they cancelled my engineer to the 10th Jan, some 3 weeks later!!! I explained I needed the engineer to visit due to building work in the house not because I wanted to change the location. Was told they are pulling out the stops to resolve it but was left high and dry. Several calls later and being sent around in circles ended up being disconnected, put on hold and left because quite simply, they can't be bothered to help. Outrageous service and will without doubt reconsider my options in the future.
