Review of the Virgin Money, Credit Cards:

Exiting interactive website . Plenty of exciting offers.

I have enjoyed using the Virgin Money Service since I started some years ago after a very tantilising offer that I received. The website is in "Plain English" with no mucking about with Shakespeares Language for marketing purposes. With "Virgin Red" also available for Virgin Money users, I really do feel part of an "Experience" rather than usual boring and dull statements and bills. Keep it up Virgin !!

A reputed company.

A reputed company. I've few of their products and all their customer service is always excellent. Thought their products can get sometimes expensive. I've lost my card few times and got it straight away. Someone tried to use it and it was blocked. Thank god for that. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2024

Appalling company

Gave a wrong password by mistake on phone back in February. Virgin money have requested I post in ID and proof of address. I have done this twice. I also went in a Virgin money branch and they emailed it to them. They still say they haven't got it. Rude unhelpful staff. Had the phone put down a few times. They refuse to send statements but have taken large sums by direct debit. The only reason I care is that this account should be in credit due to a holiday refund. Despite complaints and numerous phone calls they are refusing to close the account and refund the money. Worst company I have ever dealt with. I am at a loss what to do next.

Applied for a credit card at the beginning of May which I needed for a family holiday for the end of the month. Even called in after I got accepted to clarify my situation and was guaranteed that card should be with me by then, as cards take 7-10 days to arrive. Waited patiently for the card since the 4th May, and yesterday (the 20th), was the 10th working day as well the day the card was meant to arrive. Still nothing came through. Decided to call the support number to get an update on my situation as I believed there could be a possible delay with the delivery or things of such and the operator blocked the card without my consent, although me telling her not to do so as I’d rather wait a day or two for possible delays and she told me that I will have to wait all over again for the new requested card. Had to cancel the holiday due to this. These people are not reliable and careless for customers needs. APPLY FOR A DIFFERENT CREDIT CARD IF YOU CAN. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Don't do it. Such a scam and the worst experience.

There is no process to gain access to your account once they "lock" you out. Not even the Customer Service Team has access. They are charging me fees that I cannot even view. This is an absolute scam, and I wish I had never opened an account with Virgin Money. I now have other accounts with AMEX and Monzo, the experience with them is incomparably better. Please don't put yourself through it. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Issues travelling with travel credit card

Very disappointing customer service and process in place for international travellers. I took out the travel credit card for the purpose of travel and currently in country with another month of travel pending. I have accidentally input my pin wrong and they have blocked the card. I am required to go to an ATM and use the pin services except that feature is not available for international cards in the country in Asia that I am in. I have explained this to over 6 customer service reps over the phone at the help centre and they are all clearly reading off a script and not grasping the fact that this not feasible and cannot offer any solution. Surely if they are going to offer travel credit cards to customers they need alternative process in place to offer card security but be able to remove pin blocks when travelling as this can leave people in difficult situations not able to access money and apple pay is not always widely accepted depending where you are so you can not rely on that for all transactions. I have had to use google, online forums and tik tok to find solutions as the virgin customer service team cannot offer any human empathy that this is a real life situation that needs resolve.

Fantastic communication

Fantastic communication, easy transaction, easy link to pay , total peace of mind Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Default notice by mistake!

I have 2 credit cards, one with Capital which I’ve had no issues with and the second with Virgin. When I initially got my card I made a purchase of £700 on an office desktop which froze my account so I rang Virgin and they resolved the issue an hour later being able to make the purchase, which was the first issue nothing major and easily sorted by their team. A month goes by and my app and online account is blocked which initially disrupted my payments I was told a couple of months later I could use a sort code and account number with a reference to pay via my bank direct, they also told me they blocked my account because I needed to send them identification 3 months after using my card which I found rather unusual, assuming this is something they should have done when applying not after using it 3 months later. To top it off my app and online account is still blocked having been told various times through the year it was a mistake and is now resolved safe to say it isn’t a year later. I’ve now received 3 letters, 2 dated the 10th of March and 1 the 12th of march. One tells me I am late on 2 payments, yet my most recent statement tells me I have no fees and I only owe for the following month coming and then the third letter tells me my accounts gone to default and I owe the full amount on my account. After all this I’ve rang and an hour in the team at Virgin said it’s a mistake and admitted fault and they are now in the process of trying to reverse the default notice which will impact my credit file for the next 6 years. I’ve been told I’ll be called back again twice now but with my original issue still standing a year later I’m not looking forward to the final outcome. Reviewed on: 18th March 2024

Good app, lets you do most things, but has in the past shown the wrong balance whilst their system is updating. Reviewed on: 16th March 2024
