Virgin media 14 day cooling off period?

A few weeks ago we re negotiated a new package deal with virgin media. When we went through to the retentions department we explained to the sales person what we wanted and that was broadband and access to on demand and virgin media box office. We were told by the sale staff we would still be able to access this service with the package. On the 12th of March our new package took over our old one and lone behold we had lost all our access to on demand and also box office. Saturday just gone I called them to complain and to again renegotiate as the service I then had was not what I asked for, nor was it what the sales person stated it was. After being passed from pillar to post the new sales person had said he had upgraded our package at a £15 discount for 3 months, although I did say that this is more than what we want to pay as their competitors are offering this package at half the price. So he told me to call back today to be still within my 14 day cooling off period. Now... because of COVID-19. Virgin media arenow impossible to contact to exercise this. Can I give a notice any other way than over the phone? I really don’t want to be stuck in a contract I don’t want for 12 months.

See if there's an email address you can send notice to. that should be enough if you can't get through by phone. they don't make it easy for you to contact them, but check the emails you received when they changed your packet - there should be something there where they say how to get in touch.

VM always used to be fine for us - been with them around 20 years. Recently just dropped to broadband only. Their customer service has gone really downhill.
