Virgin told me they would cancel Sky subscription

  • Note that Sky haven't done anything wrong here. Your complaint is with Virgin Media who allegedly promised to cancel your Sky services.

    You should reinstate your Direct Debit to Sky and give them one month's notice of cancellation as per the terms of your Sky contract.

    You can then approach Virgin with a complaint.

    Do you have it in writing that Virgin undertook cancellation on your behalf ?
    Thanks for the advice - sadly it was over the phone and not backed up in writing. Have read similar experiences on a few different forums, nice way for them to get an easy sale perhaps. Will keep trying to pick up the pieces!
  • Are you saying you still have an account open that is a joint account with you and your late husband? Hopefully I read that wrong and it was a joint account but now is a sole account? Was the Sky subscription in your name/his name/joint names?
    Good spot - yes it's now a sole account!

    Because they cant. Taking over a BB line isnt the same as a TV account.
    Wish I'd known this a year ago! Thanks.
