Review of the Virgin Money, Credit Cards:

cannot share a joint account

We had a joint credit card account with Yorkshire Bank for many years. We were told we had been sold to Virgin Money We cannot now both have access to the app (ITS A JOINT ACCOUNT) If I try to access it on my phone, my wife's phone gets a fraud alert and we are locked out. It worked perfectly well when it was with YB and we had the credit card account linked to our current account but Virgin Money don't allow that, you need a separate app for current accounts and credit cards. Absolutely no joined up thinking and not a good service. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

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.

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

Treated like criminal - I was victim of £18k fraud

My credit card has £18k of fraud. I only found this out when I checked my credit report. I called them and they refuse to talk to me unless I post them in ID documents. They also locked my logins. I begrudgingly posted them anow they demand I post them proof of my old address which is near impossible for me to obtain. I work in compliance, and this is gravely irresponsible on their behalf. The request is also more than overreach of what they need. They can easily access all this electronically. I cannot begin to describe the stress this has caused me. Please think long and hard before using this organisation. They are not on your side and treat you like a criminal when you are the victim of fraud. Reviewed on: 11th March 2024

Points make prizes!

Took out a virgin Atlantic points credit card and the introductory offer was amazing. Whilst there is an annual fee to pay, this is more than offset by the upgrade / companion voucher that we received after 3 months! The airlines continue to accumulate and we can look forward to entry of travel in the future! Reviewed on: 4th March 2024
