Have you been notified of £3.50 monthly increase on Virginmedia bill? Here’s how to cancel it..

Thank you so much for the information. I have just managed to do it.

That’s annoying Teacheranne. Try again later. I did it at 10pm last night. It seems to be available out with their normal hours.

I’ve just tried this tip and all I get after dialling 150 is a message saying all lines are busy and try again later! I guess everyone is following this advice right now!

Thanks for the tip. It worked for me too this morning

Delighted to see some of you are having success with the discount! This is out with the normal negotiating you would do at contract renewal time to try to avoid a price hike that they always want to add.

This discount is set up to cancel out the proposed increase from March 1st for all customers. They have to give customers the option to cancel their contract before Feb 28th if they were unhappy with the increase.

It seems their phone lines were jammed with customers phoning to complain so they’ve set up this automated discount which in effect cancels out the proposed increase.

They’ll be hoping most customers will just accept the increase. I was quite chuffed last night to sort it in a few mins just at the press of a button.

Just been notified that TalkTalk are increasing their prices too.

Didn't work for us, they kept sending new contracts which were for a year and then the price nearly doubled! Please check your new contracts carefully.

Instead, we chose a new supplier and called Virgin to cancel, we now have a new contract with virgin at £9 a month cheaper than we were paying!

Fantastic tip, thank you! I generally call them every year and have a moan anyway and they stick some discounts on my account so I don’t go to BT, so if you don’t also do this it’s definitely worth an hour or so of your day to save some more.

GNW. Thankyou , it worked I did exactly as you described. And they offered me a discount of £4.50 for 6 months ,
When the six months are up ,I will try it again. , Many thanks for telling us about it. X

PS ignore the suggestion at the beginning of the call to go to their website to deal with your query due to the large volume of calls. The automated service was simple and only took a few minutes.

Good luck Lilypops I hope it works for you.

Thankyou GNW. I had a letter from Virgin telling they were increasing by £3.50 per month, I will try this tomorrow, thanks for the tip,
I love the way companies say we are increasing your bill and you don’t need to do anything !! How nice of them !
