  • Please help me before I go bald ripping my hair out?!

    Hiya this is my first time on anything like this so excuse me if I screw up in any way? Have been referred here by my friend (antsean) as I could really do with some advice?

    I've had the misfortune of becoming a Virgin Media (VM)customer last year. I've had nothing but one problem after another and am now just desperate to get a resolve to the latest and most poinient problem.

    I signed up to a special online offer from VM and upgraded the package by adding the large tv package and caller display which meant my total billing for services each month was £37, plus any non-geographical phone calls.
    Although VM have supplied the services, they have consistenly overcharged my monthly billing.

    Although I tried sorting this out with them by telephone I had no luck with resolving it. I raised a complaint online and put the account into formal dispute. Communications with them have been difficult as we have missed each others various messages and this has meant the situation has been dragging on for some time.

    It has also resulted in VM deciding (WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR AGREEMENT) that the situation was resolved and they have passed my outstanding payment (so they say) with them onto a debt collection agency?! What should I do now????

    Welcome and I see Niddy has beat me to moving your post.

    I personally would take this up with them in writing and send by recorded delivery - maybe send copies of your bill where you have been over charged.

    Are you still getting the Virgin Media package or have you cancelled it?

    (these are just my personal thoughts and someone might have some better advice on how to act)

      Try emailing their CEO - that will ruffle feathers and ensure someone responds properly, so make a proper formal complaint and email it to: neil.berkett@virginmedia.co.uk

      Details here: ---> http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010...rdian-100-2010

      Really this is a consumer complaint, you need to try and resolve it with them i'm afraid, it's usual to pay and argue for difference later as they will piss around with your credit file and mark it as late if you cease repayments....

      Obviously, so long as you pay the amount you know to be due - if they overcharge and you refuse to pay that element only, they cannot touch you and will need to investigate before amending anything on your credit files..
