    Call them and ask why you are still being billed when you are not with them and ask for a refund. If its paid by DD cancel it asap :)

    - did you state a specific date , example 18th ?
    - - did they agree a specific date , example the 18th ?

    - there is a a 30 day period from the day you make your cancellation !

    Virmin are notorious for accidently keeping their income stream

    - you can protect yourself by sending a letter [ not e-mail ] to Virgin at:

    Virgin Media,
    PO Box 333,
    Matrix Court,
    Swansea.
    SA7 9ZJ

    this way you get a snail mail letter back [ evidence ] that you can if needed show to OFCOM

    - a~n~other option is to look up where Virgin do not have cable laid and tell them you are moving on such a date to a post code that they don't supply - that'll work !
