Switching credit issue

I have made several attempts to register my switching credit claim since the 1st April I keep getting the same automated reply.

I have tried the complaint service but they say they cant help, as it only an email service.

Any one got any advise how I can sort the switch credit I am entitled to...

Thanks for any help.

Re: Switching credit issue

I have done that and they replied by sending me the switch email and what to do.

I called them and they said they could not help.

Re: Switching credit issue

An auto reply is the a reply saying what to send and how to send it. 

It is effectively the same info as on the web site. It does not explain if you have any issues with the application.

Re: Switching credit issue

Yes its been 6 weeks. 

When i tried asking about an up date I got the auto reply telling me how to submit the claim.

It did not say anything.

I think I have tried all ways to get someone to look at and acknowledge my claim...

@NEDDY1213 are you sure you're sending exactly the information required? This sort of automated response has historically indicated that it's not completely what's needed.

@NEDDY1213 do you Virgin bills clearly show an itemised 'termination charge' or similar wording? If the termination charges aren't separately shown, Sky may not be able to approve your claim .

On my recent final bill they're shown as in the attached picture, although they added a £90 odd credit farther up, damned if I can actually understand it TBH, I have a final bill of about £23 (the contract was up in July).

That certainly sounds like the issue, as Sky will need to see on the itemised billing something which clearly shows what the early exit fee was that Virgin charged you on the bill.
