Downgrade
Hi all,
On VM live chat I asked if I could downgrade my package. Current... Full House TV Vivid 200 Phone M £56pm (includes £20 loyalty discount) New... Mix TV Vivid 100 Phone M £35pm (includes £20 loyalty discount) Two things I wanted to check... I was told this would NOT start a new contract and I was also told all downgrades need 31 days notice so my new deal won't start until 4/10/17. Is this right? I accepted the deal but have kept screenshots of the chat just in case. |
Re: Downgrade
I was under the impression any changes to your package will lock you into a new minimum term ie 12 months

I checked this and it's wrong... according to this page my contract should end on the 7th Nov 2017. But I was given a deal in March this year meaning my contract actually ends on 3rd March 2018 and on VM chat the agent confirmed this end date will remain. |
Re: Downgrade
A week or so ago they told me mine wouldn't trigger a new contract either but a few days later the contract changed to a new 12 month one starting the day i phoned.
As for them saying you need to give 30 days notice to downgrade that's not true either. She changed mine there and then, it also refunded the part month to my account. |
Re: Downgrade
Thoughts anyone on the below:
I have the VIP bundle; all sports, movies etc. +300MB Vivid BB. I have been wanting to remove the movies for a long time, they are just a waste for me. When i have tried in the past the monthly only goes down by a £1 or goes up if i remove it. i guess the way they package their deals. Has anyone had any luck removing it and getting a more significant saving? Basically looking to try and offset the price of a Netflix subscription. Note. I did just sign a new contract to start this month. so do not have much bargaining chips. |

When I wanted to remove the TV package but keep BB and landline VM said it would more as I would loose discount which I did not know about. |
Re: Downgrade
I received this email last week.....
Dear ........... We would like to thank you for taking the time to contact us today. We are very sorry to hear that you are unhappy and we will endeavour to resolve your issues as soon as possible. Tom is currently not available to deal with your complaint personally; however we have passed your email onto a member of his team, and they will be in touch with you as soon as possible in order to assist you with your queries. We look forward to discussing this matter with you in the future. On behalf of Tom Mockridge. ---------- Post added at 19:05 ---------- Previous post was at 18:59 ---------- Following on from that email, I got a call from, I think, one of the executive team who apologised for the pretty poor service from Virgin, he offered me a further refund, it wasn't great btw, but it was better than nothing, and said if I call retentions back they would honour the original offer and get a date for installation, so I did this, I called retentions, and guess what, they could not offer me the original deal that I was offered on the 28th August, the sticking point was the deal would only be offered to me for nine months when it would then increase, this is unbelievably bad from Virgin as my original offer was for twelve months, so I have sent another email to the executive team explaining what has happened, but in all honestly the whole saga is a complete farce, and it's really bad service from Virgin, I am now at the stage of giving up and moving to Sky! |

Hey - from what i understand, their promotion offers only run for 9 months, at that time you are advised to call up and negotiate a new deal. - Rinse and Repeat. I started on £150 ish PM down to £113 PM. With nothing changing, just better boxes and a new Superhub(Not that i use as a router) |

I never turned it down, I had an engineer visit arranged for 4th September, but he never turned up, sorry for not posting the whole story, so I emailed the CEO office to complain, they phoned me yesterday and apologised and asked me to phone retentions back if I still wanted to go ahead, which I did, but when I phoned they would not honour the deal that was offered to me on 28Th August, which was for 12 months, not 9... |
Re: Downgrade
If you didn't turn it down then you mustn't have took up the offer. Same difference I would think.
If it wasn't offered then you wouldn't have knowledge of it. It may have been a limited time offer. |

So, let's be clear now. You made a deal for the installation of VM and it hasn't happened? Is that correct? |
