Re: VM reneging on ex-NTL competitive discounts

I was told why they were doing it by VM Customer Service: data cleansing as part of the billing consolidation had revealed customers with loyalty discounts.

Therefore, the letter claiming a billing "mistake" is dishonest.

So we are going to put you on our standard price for the services you have. If you wish to talk to us about how much you pay please do"

Ntl historically never had any 'loyalty' discounts. Any 'price matching' was done by throwing stuff at an account and hoping it would stick. This is why there are all the problems now.

Only when it became Virgin (or about to be) were proper documented loyalty discounts introduced
My NTL bills clearly show: Loyalty Pack BB/ Phone.

My VM bills also show: XL for the price of L Upgrade

And the notes are on my account, according to VM Customer Service.

VM are not being honest and are stiffing their customers, similar letters appear elsewhere online. It's a change of policy, not a billing mistake.
