VM or NTL are the worst of the worst companies when it comes to administration. I've had some potential wranglings with them in the past and more recently on a business front. They charged us for an account that had been requested to be closed six months previously (in writing) and now it's finally closed - they have sent me another bill!

I can't see them lasting much longer as VM particlulary after the Sky debacle - removing Sky One and Sports News from cable packages.

Yup, I would take that line too....

If you have left the country and it goes to court, just think of all those lovely travel expenses you can claim while coming back to visit old friends

If you don't mind me asking, what's the name of the Debt Collection Agency?

They didnt remove them, sky did.

Virginmedia is also a sponsor of this forum so... for the sake of the forum I'd probably be careful.

No, Virgin wouldn't pay for them!

Anyway there were reports in 1 of the Sunday Finance sections about VM being sold soon.

It doesn't bother me if they are, they are causing me problems at the moment and I can't even get to speak to someone who speaks english!
