Need advice with new flat not on VM system
Hi guys, I'm just hoping to get a bit of advice regarding my new flat. Basically the house is divdided into 3 flats but mine isn't on VMs system. The property is registered correctly with royal mail, and VM have checked this and confirmed that there system is wrong.
This is how VMs system is showing my property (not the real street and number) 265 Terrys lane (does not exist) 265, Flat 1 Terrys lane 265, Flat 2 Terrys lane This is how it should be, and is on Royal Mails system. 265, Flat 1 Terrys lane 265, Flat 2 Terrys lane 265, Flat 3 Terrys lane (my flat at the back of the house) Ive spoken to a few people at VM now but each time i call i get given different advice, or i'm left on hold for 30 mins. What they have said so far, and i was quite shocked, is that they can put it down as flat 2 and come and do an installation :confused: Obviously i refused this option because i dont live in flat 2 and dont want problems when the person that does live there wants to order cable. When i called last thursday i was told an engineer would call me to arrange a visit so he can confirm an install is possible, i asked why when the house is clearly in a cabled area and an engineer visit isn't needed to confirm an extra box can be installed in your bedroom?? Anyway... an engineer hasn't called yet to sort this out so i rung back today and as i expected, theres no record of a planned visit. After wasting about 90 mins on the phone earlier i was finally promised a call back in a few mins, 2 hours later i hadn't had this call so i rung again. I'm now back to square one and an engineer is apparently going to call me back :rolleyes: I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience? or maybe one of the VM staff that post here might have some advice. Any help would be appreciated. |

I'm sure that the database can be corrected. The usual procedure would be to get the spotters team for the area involved as they are the ones who would do a brief site visit, confirm the facts and then be able to trigger the computer record updates.

Re: Need advice with new flat not on VM system
This happened to me 2 years ago. VM don't just rely on the Royal Mail database but also on the electoral roll which helps their credit checks.
It was easily solved as I met a rep from the Cardiff shop the week before I moved in at the flat and gave him a copy of my lease agreement. Got installed the day before I moved in, just had to meet the install team with lappy in hand to check connection. |

Ive got it all sorted now thanks to weesteev, just a shame all VM staff aren't that good.

Will call them again but can you outline what should happen with a new installation reference a pre installation visit? |
Re: Need advice with new flat not on VM system
Couldnt tell you to be honest but I could look at the issue for you? Is your issue with internal cable runs or external?
I was under the impression that a pre install survey is booked on the billing system to a timeslot similar to that of an install so they should be able to confirm a date/time for visit. It would be one of the field sales team/spotters that visits. |

Re: Need advice with new flat not on VM system
I had similer problem about a moha go when i devided my house into 4 properties ( Flats) Brfore my house was devided into 6 bedrooms and 4 rooms were on the virginmedia's system. I told them to have 4 flats numbers added into the system and get all 4 wired up. They sent me a form to fill in and a survayor came to see me by calling sales on 01143030430. 2 of my tanents wanted to get connected so VM moved fast and added my all 4 flats into their system
