Cynic Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 If they aren't providing the service you pay for then you don't have to pay. You would need to prove they aren't providing the service though and that the problems are their fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery man Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 tv often crashes, internet goes off, people keep calling asking for other people must be about 5 diffrent names now, you ring them up a adviser tells you one thing later to find out what they said isnt true back to freeview and good old pay as you go dongle, like in the good old days of last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The people calling asking for random surnames is not a Virgin-specific problem. It's a modern sales technique, and you'd suffer from it whoever was providing your phone service. The other things, you may have a case for failure to provide a service worth paying for. I don't know how easy or difficult it is to claim "breach of contract" if you cancel and refuse to pay the remaining 8 months and Virgin take you to court over it. I don't even know if they would bother to take you to court over it, at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growup Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 They have just notified of price increase as of april. A quick scan through contract which can be found online allows you to give 30days notice to cancel due to this. You have 30days from either getting the letter informing or from actual increase, can't remember which Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
