I placed an online order to upgrade my cell phone. I submitted the correct shipping address. The business app used an old address on file instead. I calles within 5 minutes to have it corrected. Told I wasnt able to. Spoke with a manager who said the new process would allow them to update the shipping address on their end and I would have the phone by the flowing Wednesday. 3 business days later. I call to confirm this on the monday was told something completely different. Called the next day and the agent told me something else completely. Got pit to retention department and was told something else. I was told they couldnt call the shipping company to update the address. That the package had to returned to the warehouse and then they would reship it too me. Package was delivered ane accepted at the warehouse on Monday March 13th a like 9:34am. Didnt hear from the company for over two days after its return. Called the company and was told something completely different again. I was just told that i would have to wait to get an email from company that it had been returned and then i would have to put the order in again. I keep getting lied to by the employees. If i decide to stay with them as a company ill have to wait 3-4 weeks to receive the update from them and it isnt acceptable. Ive been with the company for 15ish years and havent had this kind of incompetence everBusiness Response

I contacted Virgin Mobile to add a travel pass to USA on Feb 2, 2022, this pass is 60 dollars for calls, texts and data. I have had it before, after discussing, I decided to wait until we firmed the dates of our travel. Yesterday I contacted Virgin by chat ( March 13) and was told there was no such pass anymore, it was discontinued at the beginning of march, however I did not recieve any notification, so I bought a $13 day pass but realised its too expensive.I cancelled it online but got no confirmation of the cancelllation, so today I called ( march 14) and wanted to ask more questions, and the rep suggested again I buy the 60 dollar pass? then when I told him I was told yesterday I could not have it he then changed his mind and said I could not have it. I asked to speak to management and spoke to ( ***** ** * ******** )and he maintains they can't do anything even tho they misinformed me of the 60 dollar pass, on Feb 2 and on Mar 14.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: as stated in my complaint they offered a 60 dollar data plan for a month in USA and then informed me they would not. Their current plan is 13.00 dollars per day and I am travelling 30 days. It’s an excessive cost. I expect a minimum credit of 60 dollars for misinforming me of the 60 dollar one month plan first in Feb and second time this month. Their link in their letter is offering the 13.00 dollar a day plan which is excessive. I am very disappointed with their letter. I have been a customer for many years.

I am rejecting this response because: they have not offered anything, like a credit or apology after offering me a product twice they no longer carry, ( 60 dollar plan for a month for travel to USA). And then not following through.So as a result we have bought a plan and sim card in the USA so we don't have to pay Virgin's overpriced fee of 13 dollars a day to use the phone. The USA plan is 30 dollars for a full month, unlimited texts and calls. ********* *** ***** ** ****** ********** **** **** ** ******* **** ** *** ***** **** * **** *** ** **** * ********* ******* ****** *** *********** ************ *** **** ** **** *** ***** ****** * *****

In November I inquirer to Virgin Plus about switching my son and daughter’s phones to Virgin from *****. I was sent 2 SIM cards and not told my credit would be “hit” to establish these accounts. I was told to call in to activate the accounts upon receipt of the SIM cards. I never called in as we decided to stay with the current provider. Come January I started receiving a bill, no contract as our phones are owned. I called in and spoke to a sr. Rep and was told the computer was sending the bills and it would be revoked and dealt with that I would not receive another bill. February I receive another bill. I ignored it assuming it was computer error. March I receive another bill and called in to set a call back. Never received. So I set up a callback online, was given a 9-10 PM call back time. Received a call from a rep the next day at around 1:00 PM to which I was told I had to pay the bill. I asked for a supervisor and was told “no problem, I will transfer you”. I was sent back to the main board to set up a callback. I did so, the computer voice said 2 minute wait, then when it completed it told me 3:00 PM. I waited, nothing. I received a call from Virgin this morning, when I answered they hung up. They tried again an hour later and I could not answer due to the work I was doing. I also filed a complaint to their complaint email on the website asking for the bills to stop and asking for documentation to verify the closure and “0” balance. No reply back. Please help, thank you.Business Response

Regarding file # **********
My elderly parents were called by a man from Virgin claiming to be from ***** who is their current provider. the man stated that they have two new ****** for them and all they need to have is their driver's license. Once the phones came in the mail my parents saw that the box was from Virgin. They called Virgin right away and were transferred to their fraud department. Meanwhile my parents were confused and unsure of if this was a scam so they called the RCMP and were told by Virgin and RCMP to call ******* and ********** so they could flag any suspicious activity. They received a call a day later from ###-###-#### which is a Virgin #. they man on the other end stated that it was regular practice to pretend to be from other companies in order to steal customers and to send the phones back. they did the very next day, but they keep getting phone calls asking for the phones to be sent back. this is outrageous conduct and not a very good way to start a customer client relationship. ** **** *** ****** ** *** ******* ************ ** ************ **** ****** ****** ****** ** ******* ** ***********Business Response

I suspended my account after I left for the United States and did not use their services from mid 2019 to late ,2021. I owed them a balance of approximately 82 dollars for some services unknown. * ****** **** **** **** **** ** ******* **** ** *** ****** *******. Virgin verbally said the amount I owe them is due and I tried paying it but they delayed doing the task and then closed my account but reported to ******* that is open and amount due is 0 and I failed to pay them on time. I find this wrong since I did not want any services and they still kept my account active and billed me and do not inform me or email me or anything to respond to that payment. I even paid them. I want their remark on my report to be gone.Business Response

Hi *****,
We are sorry to hear about your negative experience with
Virgin Plus.
If we are
providing you with Postpaid Services, you will be billed monthly in advance for
monthly recurring Charges and in arrears for monthly Additional Usage Charges. You are responsible to pay
for charges even if your Virgin Plus service are suspended.
After reviewing your account, we can see that
your service was not suspended before you traveled to the United States. Contradictory
to this, your device was used over multiple months in the USA and SMS messages confirming
roaming and rates were sent on the following days:
Jan 31, 2019, Feb 21, 2019, Feb 26, 2019, Mar
14, 2019, Mar 30, 2019, Apr 14, 2019, May 13, 2019, Jun 3, 2019, Jun 18, 2019, Jul
11, 2019, Jul 19, 2019, Aug 22, 2019, Sep 8, 2019, Sep 27, 2019, Oct 14, 2019, Oct
26, 2019, Nov 9, 2019, Nov 28, 2019, Dec 15, 2019, Dec 31, 2019, Feb 1, 2020, Feb
17, 2020, Mar 4, 2020, Mar 21, 2020.
The contents of these messages are as follows:
30-Dec-2019 20:13:39 Hey Member! Welcome to the
US of A! For info on Roam Sweet Roam, or Travel Passes, check out
my.vmobile.ca/roamUSA (no data charge) from your phone or call us free at
+***********. Without Roam Sweet Roam or a Travel Pass, rates in the USA are
$1.45 per minute to talk (includes LD) and $0.75 per text. Happy travels from
Virgin Mobile! ( vm.ca/reachus )
We can also see that you continued to use
service and make payments until July 26, 2020. Once payment stopped, your account
was suspended for non-payment on September 9, 2020 and cancelled on October 9,
2020.
Since payment for the final balance owing was
not made until July 23, 2021, credit reporting that occurred since there was an outstanding balance
owed on the account was not found to be an error as it accurately reflects the
balance owing for charges incurred with their service.

I upgraded my ****** at a kiosk on January 30th,2020. The young man serving me told me that I didn't have to write down the date of when telephone would be paid in full because they would automatically recalculate the amount for me after its paid for. I was at the mall on February 25th and decided to go ask Virgin(aka ****) how much was left to pay on my telephone just to find out that my telephone was paid in full January 2022. My jaw dropped and I politely asked the young lady why they hadn't adjusted my account because I had been paying $130.00 monthly for a whole year. I did the math that is a total of $840. I knew it wasn't her fault so I asked for a telephone # to call. I called customer service the young lady apologized to me and said they could offer me 3 months of $115.00 I laughed and said that is unacceptable I want my money back or a credit for the full amount. I was transferred to a supervisor and explained my story all over again and was told the same thing. I asked her ok so my new total is $60 where did my other $70 a month go. I asked her did you keep it, did the shareholders were did it go? It should've been put in my account as a credit. * **** *** * ******* **** *** ******** *** *** *** ******** *** **** ** *** * ******* * ******* ** ***** * ******* *** ******* *** **** ***** **** ** *** ****** *** ***** ********** ** *** *** **** *** ********* ** ******* * ******* *** *** ******** *** **** ** ** *** * ** * ** **** *** ***** *** *** **** **** ** ******* ***** ** ************ *** ** ** *** ** ********* *** ******* **** **** **** ******* *** Had I known that it was my responsibility to call them at the end of contract I would've put a reminder on my phone to end of contract.

Hi ****
We are sorry to hear about your negative experience with the billing of
your Virgin plus services.
The former 24 month commitment term that you mentioned was subject to
the details listed on the Membership Agreement you accepted to activate it. That agreement had shown that there was no
monthly device payment charges. Instead,
just a monthly plan charge that would continue on a month-to-month basis after
your 24 month commitment period elapses.
When checking your bills, the same can be confirmed – that no monthly
device payments had been billed to you during your prior 24 month commitment
term, nor after the conclusion of that term.
Copies of your current and past bills (up to 18 month history) along
with copies of your Membership Agreement are all available for you to view in
My Account at www.virginplus.ca/myaccount.
Prior to your commitment term in January of 2022, Virgin provided you
with advance notice, in writing, on your October 2021 bill reminding of your
upcoming term end date and that your service and billing would continue on a
month to month basis after that date.
In addition to the reminder provided on your October 2021 bill, Virgin
also provided you with an updated Membership Agreement showing that your service
and billing were continuing on a month to month basis on the date that your
term ended. This was sent to you using
your contract delivery preference setting, Email.
With no surplus billed as you’ve mentioned, we must advise that
credits/refunds will not be forthcoming in response to this dipsute.

billing, get in touch with us using the contact information shown at www.virginplus.ca/contact. We’ll be here to help!

I am not accepting because they only sent the contract, which I all ready have read. But the thing is their employees are told to tell us that after the contract is paid they will reduce our bill automatically. I asked the sales clerk 3 times and he responded each time that they would reduce it. Besides I paid for something I didn't get it's simple accounting Debit and credits, I overpaid so either give me my money back or give me a credit in full of $840 which is the amount that I have paid extra for nothing. Their customer service is not good and I am not satisfied, you tell the customer something well you should do it. ** ******* ****** * ***** **** ***** *** **** ******* ** ************* **** ***** *** **** *** *** ***** ***** ** *** *** ********* *** **** * ******** **** ****** **** **** *** * *** **** ** ***** *** **** * ** ** *** *** * ***** **** ***** ***** ** **** ** ****** *** **** *** ** * ************* ******* **** ****** *** **** ** ** ***** *** **** ****** ***** ***** ***** **** *** ******* **** **** **** ******* ** *** **** ********* **** ** **** **** *** **** ** **** **** ********** ** ***** ** **** **** **** ********* **** *** **** *** ***** *** **** *** ***** ***** ** ** *** **** ********.

Hello *******
We are sorry to hear about your negative experience with the billing of
your Virgin Plus services and that you’d decided to terminate it following a dispute
about your data usage.
About data and a mobile service - Data usage is rounded up to the nearest kilobyte. Applicable data Charges apply from the moment a data transmission starts and are measured by the data sent and received by the Networks in connection with such transmission, whether or not the data request is successfully completed. This means that any of your account usage details may be greater than the data actually received by your Device in connection with the Services. Note as well that certain third party apps may generate data usage even when you are not actively engaged in using them – it is your responsibility to understand how much data is used by your selected app(s).
To help eliminate bill shock Virgin Plus will temporarily block data usage on your account once it reaches $50 in Additional Usage Charges for domestic data per billing cycle. At such time, data services will be blocked. If you or any authorized user(s) on your account wish to unblock data on your account, then you (or they) may expressly consent to continued Additional Usage Charges. If you (or they) do not consent, then data Services will be blocked on the account until the start of the next billing cycle.
It can be confirmed
that in your final months of service with Virgin, you had exceeded the data
included in your plan limits. When appropriate, the $50 data block mentioned
above was applied to your service to prevent you from incurring further overage
fees.
About your billing and delivery of your bills – The method of delivery
you accepted with your service was E-Billing.
E-bills are provided to you via My Account at www.virginplus.ca/myaccount. Registration of your My Account profile must
be completed prior to cancelling your service to be able to retrieve bills from
your E-billing profile.
Despite opting for E-Billing we can see that you did not complete registration
of your E-billing profile before you cancelled your services. Unfortunately, registration for E-billing is
no longer an option for a cancelled service.
To retrieve copies of your past bills, we’d be happy to mail them to
you. Just get in touch with us by
calling ###-###-#### to verify your mailing address and request them to be
mailed. Heads up! A onetime fee may
apply for bill re-prints. This is
consistent with the fee structure shown at ********************************.

Hello,
I want to file a complaint against virgin mobile. I have not been given proper information from them. Unfortunately I cannot get the truth from them and I find myself at a loss.
In December of 2022 I applied for a line of credit through my bank. My credit with them is A+ I was told. My credit with ***** ***** has been fair standing I believe I was 704 credit score. I was denied a line of credit due to a derogatory mark on my credit score. This was from a third party collection agency that purchased a debt I had with virgin of $85.43. I had not been contacted by virgin regarding this or their third party collection agency.
On December/01/2022 I called virgin inquiring why I was in debt with them seeing as I hadn’t had service from them for a very long time. The account was opened in 2013. On the day I called December/01/2022 I paid the bill of $85.43 and requested a discharge letter stating I owed no more money and was paid up and canceled services.
Since then I have called at least half a dozen or more times to confirm my email address and request this discharge letter. Each time I was told it was resent at that very moment and it would be on my email in 24-48 hours and to check all folders including junk mail. I have done just this each and every single time to the point I called 3 weeks ago asking for a mailed hard copy. I was told by accounts receivable I was being mailed this hard copy as well as resent an electronic copy to the confirmed email address.
It is now 02/16/2023 and I have received nothing. I was as well told ******* was the company who received the debt and to contact them regarding this. I contacted ******* and they told me they are not a third party collection agency and they didn’t do that sort of work.
This has impacted me greatly im not sure if it is even fully resolved and I am unable to proceed with rebuilding my credit.. I am hoping someone can help me here. As I’m at a stand still with virgin mobile.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that I am not satisfied with their response.Since December 1 2022 they had this new mailing address. I also called make multiple times confirming this address only to be told the same thing they sent in their response. They have told me it’s been mailed and re emailed each and every time. some of the people I spoke with seemed genuine and helpful, some weren’t unfortunately.
I feel as though discharge letter alone isn’t satisfactory. The mark left on my credit score for derogatory as well should be removed by virgin. They had never made conscious effort to inform me in the last 6 years about this outstanding hill and neither did their third party collections agency. To this day remain anonymous, I have questions for them as well. Either way this account was closed in April of 2016 as I was informed by virgin today because I have called trying to get as much information as I can. Why would they allow me to close an account with a remaining balance and not have some sort of formal payment arrangement? It’s because they never informed me of this and I am paying for it on my credit score. This will haunt me for the next possible 7 years.
discharge letter, plus a removal of this derogatory mark on my credit would be the very least they could do I would think.
if this is not a possible outcome I will await my discharge letter and then take further necessary action.
thank you,

Signed up a month ago. Virgin app did not work. Went back to mall kiosk 4 times. Because mall kiosk says phone them and Virgin states to go to mall kiosk. Problem with Virgin app which took associate at kiosk almost an hour to straighten out. Was told ********** would arrive in a couple of days. Two weeks later have not received it. Went back to kiosk. Lady on phone from Virgin. Asking questions after I identified myself. Got ****** *** and left. Been up to kiosk 6 times. The associates at kiosk are most helpful. But then they hand the phone over to you and the questions start. This is the most horrible company I ever dealt with in my life. And nothing gets solved. This is the first time ever in my 73 years that I put in a complaint with the Better Business Bureau of Canada.Business Response
