Review of the Virgin Money, Credit cards:

View on product page

Poor customer service (or should it be NO customer service)

So I received my replacement credit card and went to log on to my account to activate it. Couldn't log on and was given a number to ring. Rang number and eventually was told my online account had been deactivated as I hadn't accessed it for a while. I was told I would have to re-register for online account. Following this call I coincidentally received yet an other email from Virgin offering 0% money transfers and decided to unsubscribe from emails - but, no unsubscribe link! Instead, the customer has to ring them. So I rang, followed to process and eventually got to speak with someone. Was told I would be asked security questions. Numerous questions later was told I'd failed (despite actually knowing my mother's maiden name, where I was born etc.). I was told I would have to ring back - did so, failed again (how useless am I?) but I insisted on speaking with a supervisor. Was told someone from the fraud team would ring within the next 4 hours - no call. Rang the next morning and 20? minutes later my call was answered but I was told someone would ring me back as I'd been waiting a long time. Bemused by this I quickly explained my situation and that I was waiting for a call from the fraud team. I was assured they would ring me shortly and I provided my mobile number so I wouldn't miss the call. Guess what? Yip - still no call some 11 hours later. Old and new card have now been cut in two and Virgin and I will go our separate ways. Reviewed on: 10th October 2019
