Virgin Media Complaints - Bargain Bundles?

Bargain Bundles?
Complaint Rating:  0 % with 0 votes
I very nearly purchased the bargain bundle of Broadband, telephone and FREE TV. And all for £20. Everything would have gone ahead had I not been telephoned by the company to be told that they had not received all of my details correctly. They had managed to get my name and address and telephone number but they claimed to need more info. I suspect that this was just a ruse to get me to change to a higher priced package. Now I realise that I may have chosen the loss leader package but that is what I wanted. The offensive salesman suggested that I might have had problems submitting my order on line so I told him to CANCEL it. He was rather taken aback even when I suggested that a company which is about to provide me with broadband services did look very competent when it couldn't process online orders. After looking at this site and the complaints listed I think I have had a lucky escape. One more thing, why it there no e-mail address given on the site for people to use to complain or cancel their orders?

I think that the service provided by virgin is absolutely obismal. You are passed from pillar to post between people who can't even speak english or understand it. I have had an ongoing problem for 16 weeks now and im still no closer to getting it sorted out, and when the engineers eventually do show up all they do is check the signal strength.

You have had a lucky escape: I received a general flyer through my door for Broadband medium £4.50 for 12 months and £9.00 thereafter with. £9 being the normal standard charge. I have also checked the internet for this the Same deal £4.50 for 12 months and £9 thereafter offer (plus a phone line of £11 being £20 a month) with free TV.
I rang virgin media. I am a current customer of Virgin and they do not inform you of the alternative cheaper ways of paying. They expect you to call them!!! She advised me that I would need to register for my bill on line to receive this promotion and receive this bill on line by e-billing. I told her that I was not aware of this. Aparently this was written on my MAy 2008 bill???? They LIED. This was not written anywhere.

If you pay by direct debit and recieve your bill on line you pay £9 . EXISTING CUSTOMERS RING UP AND ASK FOR THIS WAY OF BILLING. They were charging me £18 for the medium broadband and the new deal started for e-billing from JUNE 2008.

June 2008. Charged £18. £9 overcharged
July 2008. Charged £18, £9 overcharged
August 2008 Charged £18 £9 overcharged
September 2008 Charged £18 £9 overcharged
October 2008 charged £10 over charged £1
Total £37 refund.

VIRGIN - ERRRM WHAT TO SAY. WHEN YOU RING THE HELP NUMBER YOU USUALLY GET SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH. I would not recommend. TV, phone & Broadband have been ok, but if anything goes wrong and you need to ring them. oppppsssyyy - Not very helpful, no loyalty to existing customers. They blame you for not ringing and have a script of repating what they have already said. So the converstion goes no where. SKY IT MAY BE. My firnds have recomended. GO SKY. Not tried it yet.
