They can't provide service at the new address so just been told I have to pay them £240 one week after I've moved for the privilege of not getting their service anymore!! Given how shit their service is that sounds like a bargain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this issue with Virgin Media and they never tried to charge me anything, I'd double check that to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 They could save £240 by not sending me weekly invitations to sign up. I returned one with the enveloped marked 'UNWANTED JUNK MAIL' but they won't stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 6 hours ago, Stellaboz said: I used to be like this with the weather and my mum. She'd ask me, every single time, what was the weather like? Sometimes I played along, other times I just went "meh" and she'd automatically go into a ten minute dialog of how hot or cold it had been since last time, whether she'd worn a jacket outside or not and if it had been raining. I feel awful now that I never called as much as I should have, but in the moment I just used to switch off, or hand the phone over to my girlfriend. In fact, I use this tactic when we call my godmother, and end up playing Football Manager before shouting cheerio from across the room at the end of the call. Godmother? That's a made up thing, block her number. Unless you're in her will of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Same if you ever order mussels in a restaurant - there's always more shells than mussels.Sorry if this gripe has been answered but I would fully expect to receive twice as many shells as mussels. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Worth fighting that I would have thought given it's them who are refusing to provide you with the service. Could be worth posting here.https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Managing-Your-Account-Cable/How-to-cancel-Virgin-Media-contract/td-p/3343434/page/8Have been through the contract and can tell they are trying to cover themselves from them being unable to provide service but I'm sure they use the word 'may' enough times that a decent lawyer could drive a tractor through the middle of it. The girl I was dealing with was totally unwilling to budge and wouldn't escalate it to someone who might see common sense so a formal complaint has went in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that was fair enough as it was me who was moving house, not them.See I understand there having to be some kind of charge and am more than happy to pay for what I've used plus admin costs etc but 240 quid is utterly scandalous. It's not even as if they have to pay someone to come out, disconnect it and bring all the equipment back, they are sending boxes for me to do that myself!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
