This latter problem has a few variations.
  • Dialling a local number - the error message happens after the first digit
  • Dialling a number beginning with '0' - the error happens after the seventh digit
  • Dialling a number beginning with '1' - the error happens after the fourth digit

The telephone was working fine on Wednesday last week. On Thursday morning it started showing these symptoms. On Thursday morning we contacted Virgin who promised an engineer on Friday morning between 0800-1200 (with a penalty charge if there was no-one in when they arrived) ...but having stayed in all morning (until 1300) no-one arrived from Virgin, so perhaps they should be paying the penalty charge to us?

On top of this is the £70 advert we placed in the local paper for the week, yet we have no way of knowing whether anyone has tried responding to it because the phone is out of action and Virgin did not turn up to fix it when they promised.

So...
  1. How do we actually get Virgin to really turn up and really fix the fault?
  2. What compensation do we receive for not receiving a phone service for which we have been paying, for the engineer not turning up, and for the 'dead' advert in the paper?
looking at this from another angle


what compensation do virgin get for fixing a fault that was caused by the customer/third party.
