Virgin Mobile Credit checks issue
Virgin Mobile have no interest in dealing with complaints. They do not provide an idiot proof or ease of access to an email address especially for complaints because they do not want to deal with them. Beware of their mobile deals. Even if you are a good long term virgin media customer they will do a credit check. First of all they will ask for your Virgin Media customer account number to verify who you are. Then they will do a credit check. If Virgin media has your address slightly wrong then you will fail a credit check.
If then you phone about a complaint you will be forwarded to sales and without you knowing it the process has started again and a credit check done. If you then complain again you will be forwarded to a foreign country where again they will credit check you. At this time you have not been told that your address is slightly wrong and now you will recieve an email from them saying do not try to get a mobile off them for at least a month. The reason they give is because you have been credit checked locked. AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH When you complain to them you will get all the sympathy you want but no action or admittance of stupidity of their service. When you insist after talking to OFFCOM about how to complain with virgin mobile and you wish to complain in written form they then will give you an email address. No it is not an email address designed for complaints it is just theteam@virginmobile.com. Virgin mobile do not have a dedicated system for complaints because in their delusional world of virgins all their customers are happy and living the life of a virgin lol. Now a message to Sir (lol) Richard Branson. Get your companies act together or someone is going to come along and compete in such a way of which makes you look like total market traders; and eat you alive. Oh what a thought all that bearded hair in ones teeth. Stop thinking of floating in a balloon around the world and come down to earth and pretend to be a mystery customer and see your failings. How on earth you got to where you are is totally beyond me. Just show’s this world is full of rich men based not on business ability but total chance or luck. Why can’t you be like virgin media and treat customers decent. A quad service my assssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! |
re: Virgin Mobile Credit checks issue
So you failed a credit check and you've had a rant. Now go and see if anyone else will give you a mobile.

I'd like to know exactly what it has to do with Richard Branson .As far as i was aware he no longer owns the companies ,he's just a share holder

Re: Virgin Mobile Credit checks issue
As there's no proof here that VM has destroyed the OP's credit worthyness but instead just activated a security lockout I've changed the title to something more relevant

Re: Virgin Mobile Credit checks issue
I must say when I ordered a sim (having been transferred by 150 to VM Mobile) it was as if I wasn't a VM customer at all, they still seem very separate operations. I had to provide all my details from scratch so I understand where the OP is coming from about the potential for making mistakes on a credit check.
But it's not just VM I suppose. I am sure in the Nynex days you had separate accounts for the landline and TV and received two different bills. |

Re: Virgin Mobile Credit checks issue
Yes and you are right they are separate operations but as OFFCOM stated, it would be better that they have completely separate websites. Second that they do not ask for VMedia account numbers to verify you as a customer. Because this lends VMedia customers to assume they are a single entity. Very deceiving in their approach and nice they are but nice does not make efficient now does it.

We do have separate websites to both Virgin Mobile and Virgin Media Business they are only linked to via the main website.. We could go down the route of asking you to hang up and redial the correct number which we could provide but we always offer to transfer you to them as that then makes it a single call for you. |
Re: Virgin Mobile Credit checks issue
so why don't virgin media and virgin mobile become one entity surely it would save a lot of confusion

It would cause issues with accounts and the support you receive as we will use different systems. |

My Bank (Lloyds TSB) own C&G and sell their mortgage products in branch, indeed I obtained my C&G mortgage in a LTSB branch but they cannot help me with enquiries though, similar to VM they just tell me to call another rnumber. You are right regarding BT Mobile though in the sense that too was a separate part of the business when I was with them. |

But just before i left the mobile cust service were able to verify the customer ( as the customers who had a mobile contract got cheap deals on BB so we had to verify them and pass them through to the BB support team ). As we were not trained to deal with the BB, BUSINESS OR PAY AND GO side of it and had to transfer as we were not able to deal with them. |
