Hi,
I'm refering to your letter, from 6/8, which I received today, (and
attach a scanned copy of).
I've sent about this case, to Cisas and Stephchange.
So I'm waiting to hear back from them, about this.
So I'm going to contact you back, when I hear more, from Cisas.
I didn't realize you at Virgin actually had an e-mail-address, (that
is monitored), before I read your letter.
Or else I would have e-mailed you much before, about this.
(I'm not such a big fan, of chats and online-contact-forms.
And I don't have a land-line, and have had little credit on my mobile,
due to that the Jobcentre have stopped, to send me jobseekers
allowance, (I have to say)).
Your engineer also distroyed my printer, (even if I fixed it with
super-glue, but anyway), and drilled an extra hole, in my lounge-wall,
that he filled with 'silver', like he called it.
This I wanted to complain about.
(I haven't gotten to complain to you before.
Because I haven't had your e-mail-address.
And have tried to send the complaint, by Ofcom etc., I think it was.
So this is now more than a year ago).
Also, I wanted to complain about, that you needed something like four
or five visits, to my flat, to install a broadband-line.
And you changed a box, in my wall, to do with the new broadband-line.
(Is that why Police say e-mails I haven't written are from my IP-address.
Because you've put some 'funny' stuff in my wall)?
BT only needed one visit and one engineer, when I got a new
broadband-line, on my room, in Mandeville Street, in 2006.
Yet Virgin needed like four visits, and five engineers here, to
install a broadband-line, (at my current address), last year.
This I wanted to complain about.
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
thank you for your e-mail!
I send a copy-email to the internet adjudicator then.
I tried to look more at Virgins website now, and had a chat with Phil.
But when I tried to call the mobile-number he mentioned, then it
wasn't free, (anyway), and I'm out of credit on my mobile, since I
haven't gotten my jobseekers allowance lately.
And I attach a copy of the conversation with Phil.
I think it's strange they don't have an e-mail-address.
I used to be with BT Broadband, (from 2006 to 2011), and they were
possible to e-mail.
But when I moved to Sunderland, in 2011, then BT sent me a cheque, for
around £150, I think.
So they must have double-charged me, for some months, I think.
And then discovered this, later.
I really wanted to use a credit they had.
But I think what happened was that BT double-charged me instead.
So like some sharia, or something?
So BT freaked me out, I have to say.
And that's why I chosed Virgin now.
But if I'd known they don't use e-mail, then I would have chosen Talk
Talk, (or another internet-supplier), I think.
Just to try to update.
Thanks again for the e-mail.
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog
