Virging Media - Charged for a movie I haven't ordered
bigjohnk posted a topic in Digital TV Services
I've just checked my latest VM bill as I noticed it was higher than usual, the reason being I've been charged for a movie I haven't ordered! I called VM to question this & they told me the movie was ordered via the V+ box I have in the bedroom on Christmas Eve & then watched 24 hours later. I insisted the movie hadn't been order & the lady in customer services admitted it was unusual as the previous movie I had ordered was 2 year previous, but all the checks she was making showed it had been watched Christmas Day night, which is a bit strange as I'm pretty sure myself, my wife & daughter were all downstairs either on laptops/tablets or watching TV on the TIVO box! The other thing that seems strange is I'm the only one who knows the pin numbers! I've also never ordered any services on the V+ box & very rarely order movies at all. When I mentioned this she said along the lines of maybe you forgot you'd ordered it or your wife or daughter had ordered it, when I stressed it was impossible she said all her systems said I had so I wouldn't be getting a refund, basically insinuating I was lying! As I have no other way of checking the only conclusion I can come to is it's a problem with the hardware/software that's allowing it to happen & will it happen again? Has anyone else had a similar problem? -
TESCO MOBILE PHONE [problem] Beware thinking 'unlimited' texts or internet use means what it normally means in the English language. In Tesco - speak or Virgin Mobile -speak it means there is a hidden limit and you will be charged without realising it. Have a look at this link for the basic outline of the BBC Watchdog programme about these scams broadcast on September 16. Further links will take you to the Watchdog programme site to view the programme with Anne Robinson.
