It seems like Virgin Media right...Hi Stephen Law, <br /><br />It seems like Virgin Media right across the board are all nothing but employed career criminals robbing all their customers blind and making up high bills, lying and forcing people to pay their monthly high charges, or they display threatening, rudest behaviour. <br /><br />They have done this to me and I am at the stage now, where I am going to sue them through CISAS, as I have more than enough proof that is what they have done to me and so many of their customers via all the bad reviews I've read on so many websites. Just put it like that VM will not be getting away with robbing me of well over £1000, as the charges have accumulated to now. No way will VM be getting another penny out of me, it's those career criminals who owe me the extortionate money back. <br /><br />Thank you for all your bad commnents on here everyone, that will suffice to get VM sorted out once and for all. They think I'm backing down, then they have another thing coming. I do live up to my username.

I'm prepared to go to the local FBI department as this crime is considered cyber theft on Virgin Mobiles behalf. My bank will also investigate this. Virgin Mobile's response today was I call an 888 number and lied in writing saying it was a USA number. Then when I confirmed that it was the Phillipenes again, they said they can't help me and sorry for the Inconvenience! One-that's a lie that they can't better address this issue and two- as a single mother of 3, overcharging my account several times by $400 and $200 PLUS THE $37.40 you charge a month for ONE IPhone plan is illegal and this company condones this by not correcting this for MONTHS and I'm sure you won't lose sleep tonight because of my being the victim of a huge virgin Mobile error- yet my kids suffer from this as it takes away from their welfare. Nice job Virgin Mobile- you condone in house theft of a customer and essentially condone endangering the welfare of children. Shame on all of these deceitful people. I'm exhausted and deserve this to be corrected and I deserve something for my time, loss of interest on money Virgin Mobile Stole and compensation for my enduring and suffering their ongoing harassment vs help. <br />emckernan3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13931669665149046128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-38369266518202645752016-09-27T22:04:12.218+00:002016-09-27T22:04:12.218+00:00

I have two complaints, one on their Bills that has soared up with my package of Phone, Broadband and TV. For the past two months till April they have been charging me £40.00 whereas I had phoned them in January that I shall quit as I am a loyal customer since they were with Telewest. I can have phone elsewhere but because I want to keep the number and the same e-mail address, I have a battle more than once a year! They give a small refund when I complained but back to square one!<br />My second issue is since February I have been getting numerous Nuisance Calls per day, even though I have registered with TPS having communicated with them before this began to happen.

I'm on a PAYG as I refuse to be beholden to anyone who holds my bank details. End of. So it sounded quite tempting to me as my topups are usually around £5 per 3-4 weeks-ish and because of which I try to use my phone sparingly as every text I send, and every call I make costs me. It sounded a refreshingly good offer - until we got to the end and they asked for my bank details. Shock horror !! I told them, you don't need my bank details, I already pay Virgin for my TV & phone, so just add it to that and I can pay it when I receive the bill (certain companies I will not do direct debit with). No, they say, we are a different source from the TV & home phone side. Oh, I said, well in that case I can't do business with you. Since then they have pestered me numerous times and each time I tell them I dont do direct debit so they bid me good day. I'm hutching toward 60, so I've watched all these companies grow and literally con unsuspecting and innocent people out of lots of money. That seems to be the way of the world now. Quite why they get away with it when we have reasonably good regulatory bodies is beyond me, but the main reason they do is because they are allowed to become huge companies who no longer have any affinity with an individual customer. Sadly we are in a very greedy era, and the people who pay the biggest price are the poorer end because there's always some rotten company who comes up with another plan to extort money from them. They do this on a sudden massive scale, without any concern for the 'customer' and they do this by joining the rotating cycle of bandits that sooner or later will be caught up with by the authorities, or some movement who has taken up the crusade for several years to expose them. After that time, they accept the rap/fine etc, tweak the part they were rapped for and 'ding ding' its round two, for another few years.

I ordered a phone and a plan and they billed me for a $500 phone which they lost and then refused to replace, and then started billing me for a service I couldn't activate because I did not have a phone. When I tried complaining I spent 6 hours playing phone tag with a dozen people only to have someone of obvious east indian decent tell me to "f" off and then he hung up on me....back to square one. Even their parent company, Bell Canada refused to intervene because they are hoping virgin will fail thus eliminating any competition in the monopoly market they are trying to set up here. So, no one will speak to me and even government complaint agencies don't care and I'm out $500 and still without a phone or service.
