Virgin Media refusing to honour my contract

HowFarToBanburyCross · 03/10/2024 21:10

22 months ago, I signed up for a broadband deal that was £33/month for 18 months, and £65/month thereafter. When the 18 months was up (so, 4 months ago), I moved onto a new contract, under a differently-named deal, with a new contract start date, but the same terms i.e. £33/month for 18 months and £65/month thereafter.
But since then they've been billing me at £65/month.
I've emailed them to complain, and have sent them a copy of the contract documents they sent me, showing the new start date, but they just keep saying the new contract has a monthly service charge of £65, and ignoring where it clearly says £33/month for 18 months.
I can't get through to a human on the phone, and the emails just go round in circles with me saying "but it says £33/month" and them saying "but it says £65/month".
Where can I go from here? Is there some kind of ombudsman or some other body that regulates this sort of thing?

Have you tried calling them and getting through to the complaints department? Or insist on speaking to retentions.

failing that, call them out on Twitter, they won’t like that and will get in touch with you to sort it.

Different issue for us with Vodafone but we got results going through Resolver

Thank you! I'll take a good look at this.

I've been speaking to "Resolutions", but maybe I should try Retentions next time. Thank you!

Perhaps unbelievably, I don't have a Twitter account! I have a basically defunct Facebook... 🤔

Sympathy though trying to communicate with Vodafone about an issue is enough to drive you insane!
