    There's one thing that confuses me. I'm not sure what you mean by "Otherwise I cannot like like people with you."

    I phoned up at 4.24 saturday 06 frb 2010 as im looking around for the cheapest phone deal and i dont want to go to b.t( just left them last year and i cant stop to feel i have been overcharged for a phone line)

    Have you noticed their new tactic which is if they cannot talk to you they hang up,So annoying what could of took me 2 mins i was passed back and forth and then told i could not have a phone line fitted,I agured with the guy i could because all my neighbours have vm and bt sockets fitted, and the funny thing is its the same building, yet i get broadband from them, the guy continued to agure i could not get a phone line,

    must of knew i was winning the agurement....Same old ill pass you to sales then hung up making a another re-dail
    I
    idiots,
    called again...same guy from india did the same thing...try the nice approch,.

    In any language we can transform a sentence into whatever way we like it, it does not mean other one is wrong. Yes please go ahead and ready the way you like it.

    I'm not sure what do you mean "what you mean by", when you start any question type you should use question mark and use proper wording it should be "What do you ....... ?"

    :mad::mad:Just wondered if anyone has had the following problem. I keep having 2 bills sent to my address 1 is for our service and another for some Polish named guy. I keep ringing and telling them he is not at our address and could they sort it out but ive just had my 9th bill for him through.

    No one in customer services is capable of explaining or returning my calls there a bunch of tools and I cant wait for April to come to cancel my contract.

    They have also promised us free trials of this and still theyve charged us

    Frankie, that is really weird. My mate has had the exact same thing happen. Whereabouts in the country are you? (region)

    This was the thread I made about it: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2222397&highlight=virgin+media+polish

    VERY strange to hear of exactly the same thing happening...

    To the OP- just send it back return to sender. After RM have saved up all the gone away post to fill a cage they will send it back to VM and VM will have to deal with it.

    You (assuming you have) have proof that this Polish guy does not live there, and has nothing to do with your address. Is the bill for a phone line? If so, ring the number that the bill is for and see what happens.

    As for the other debate going on here- I hardly think that its very fair that you are hijacking the OP's thread to continue your own debate!

    I wasn't asking a question, so I didn't need a question mark. I was just pointing out the part of your post that confused me. When I said "what you mean by" it basically means that I didn't understand the following quote.

    op ,do you live in a flat?
  • VM's computer system was incapable of getting my previous address (in a flat) correct - they'd decided to renumber them all to suit themselves!

    There's also a price increase leaflet going around if you want to get annoyed about that as well btw... I've got very little problems with their product - just the rare occasions I have to deal with their hideously incompetent overseas call centre require a stiff drink in preparation for the horrors to come! As long as I don't have to contact them - we get along just fine.
