Re: HELP! charges for phone calls not made by me

The help lines are less than helpful... the operators seem to infer that i am telling lies. Declaring that somebody must have made the call. we don't know each other, the lady can confirm we don't know each other...

the calls have not been made... so where have they came from?

there is a glitch in your software that needs patching... and i believe it is Virgin's policy to deny when these glitches occur and blame it on the customer.... well i'm certainly not going to pay for calls that I have never made. That amounts to extortion and I honestly believe this is turning into a police matter.

I have the number we supposedly called and we both can confirm we never spoke to each other or met each other before in our lives. she will also confirm that she never took a call that lasted for 3 hours.
First thing you need to do is request a Toll Enquiry on your line from Customer Care on 150, they will then investigate if there has been an error on VM's side and see if the line actually made the call.

If it turns out the line DID make the call and you still dispute it, then a tech will call to check the local cab - this has in the past been done with a warning that you MAY be charged for the call-out if the tech finds no fault with the VM equipment.

If you are 100% sure you didn't make the call, then proceed with this... if there is a chance someone made it, then I'd drop it now as it may cost you more.
