Virgin don't have to justify any other charge so why the the Late Fee/Direct Debit Failed Fee. Everyone knows they are there and how much they are. As with any other price Virgin have, if you don't like it, go elsewhere

Shawty has a lot to learn too about unfair contracts, the fact that you sign a contract does not do away with your rights to challenge.

I agree that it doesn't, but at the same it also doesn't absolve you of paying for the rest of the account. So even if you don't like a £5/£10 charge you can't not pay £30/£40 service charges or usage charges

The banks are expecting to take a major hit due to their unfair charges, so why should vm not?
|
Because at this stage, no-one has taken Virgin to court to challenge the charges. Until they do, you cannot say Virgin's charges are unfair. Even the banks charges have not yet been classed as unfair, just that they
MAY be unfair and that whether they are or not can be investigated.

I see no reason if the charges were chalenged, but if people do not complain about being ripped off then vm will carry on the ripping off.

The £10 late fee is only added to an account the day the next bill is printed. Which is about 10-14 days after the due date of an account. So even if you don't pay the bill on time, you have to be very late to get the late fee. Which is reasonable.
