Re: Virgin up to their usual tricks.

After the programme became involved they agreed to call off the debt collectors and deal with the cancellation properly.

The second case involved a price being agreed and then a higher price being demanded when the bill came, I think that many/most on here have had that trick played on us.

Rip-Off Britain can be seen here:

Both wanted to downgrade.
First case:- The ombudsman twice found in VM's favour.
Second case:- cancellation by e-mail is not valid.
