jacklev1 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Anyone else had problems calling? After waiting 29 minutes to get through listening to some type music. That was not even clear not sure what it was then at last I get through!! Only to spend yet another 20 minutes trying to talk to someone who can’t even speak clear basic English and sounded like she was on the bottom off the sea , just simply why can’t these big concerns just get a simple system ,someone you can communicate with so after 49 minutes i am still no further total shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanleybobs Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Had this the other day. I was calling to end my subscription, there isn't an email address you can use, you have to go through their rubbish call centre. Will never go back to them!! Spend about 2 hours sorting it out in the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacklev1 Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) The thing is when you seriously can’t understand them as they can’t talk english you keep having to say pardon eh can you repeat that ,just impossible if it was not for the internet I would cancel the lot if I could communicate with someone!!

Virgin offer you the price you get because of cost cutting measures like this. You could have a UK based call centre staffed sufficiently to answer all calls immediately but you would be paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanleybobs Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 They deliberately make it difficult to get in touch - why is there no email contact? If you want to cancel you shouldn't have to spend hours on hold to their call centre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert the Cat Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I have never had an issue calling Virgin Media. As for the language issue, I have only ever spoken to Scots who are quite clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaddamp Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Talk Talk no better,after 3 months of unchecking one of my services via my login I rang to complain that I'm still being charged,they told me that I can only cancel a service by ringing in to stop it so I was charged £30 for nothing. Is it me or is everyone cheating or trying to cheat and rip us off ? As for the Brexit thing I've decided I've had enough and so I no longer use a continental quilt....gone back to using blankets instead (LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they could provide a decent level of service cutting slightly into the millions / billions they earn for their shareholders. Vote with your money - take it elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the posts on here, I think VM will end up being the ones paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
