as a potential future representative of the BBU - Bridge Builders Union, can I register a possible grievance, which I retain the right to invoke at a future date, in that your irrefutable logic may be in 'restraint of trade' , where it concerns my members

How did he Nail it? Been trying to get through to Virgin for ages on the telephone no luck, sent many Emails no answer. so calling and cancelling does not seem to work. So the topic of the thread is by no means Nailed.

Ok then - write. That would work too, send it recorded delivery and in 2 days time they have recieved your 30 days notice to cancel.

I refuse to spend good money on recorded letters. what I think i'll do is just cancel my direct debits, not pay this months bills. let Dick Turnip and his merry band of Morons track me down. If I go to court then at least I can have my say and speak to Virgin there.

Virgin seems an apt name for that company, so poor is their organization seems like they have been in business for a small amount of time.

Re: I hate Virgin Media, how do I quit?

You can do that, but of course before then they will have Mooorcroft on your case and your credit record will be trashed so you won't be able to get credit cards, mobile phones, sky etc and lets hope you have no plans to move or remortgage.
You could just stick a second class stamp on it. I just suggested recorded to have proof you cancelled when they claim the item was lost in the mail.
Your actions do not cancel the contract, they merely breach it.

Recorded delivery only costs an extra 68p on top of the price of a 1st or 2nd class stamp..................very cheap, & much better than trying to cancel by phone or (shudder) email.


As SMH said, cancelling your DDs etc is not cancelling the contract.... you would find yourself being chased by the debt collectors, get a crappy credit record, & maybe even wind up with a CCJ......
