How to lose a Customer

virgin

same old...

At the moment the only reason I am still a Virgin customer is that it is too much trouble to change my email address from the ntlworld.com address I use.

The Virgin Media anti-business plan:

  • Advertise on the web site that 10Mb broadband is available from £14 a month.
  • In the small print state this is the price for new customers only.
  • Fail to mention anywhere that old customers may get charged nearly double the price.
  • Do not at any point in the sales process notify customer of actual price being charged.
  • Send a letter notifying the customer of the actually being charged £25 a month.
  • In the letter point out that there is a statutory 7 day period in which customer can cancel the order.
  • Send the letter out so that it arrives 15 days after the original order was made.

I will phone yet again to revert to my old broadband package. I should be able to do this under the Virgin Media 28 day money back guarantee.

I have no confidence that this will be a simple error free exercise.
