MoneySavingExpert Martin Lewis explains how to beat the Virgin Media price hike

MoneySavingExpert Martin Lewis has revealed how Virgin Media customers can beat the latest price hike.

On July 1 customers started to receive letters informing them of a price increase to their subscriptions by up to £54 per year from September or October.

Virgin hasn’t released a full list of price changes, but most customers will see rises of between £2.50 to £4.50 per month.

Martin revealed that if you're unhappy with the price hike, you can leave your contract without paying any early termination charges.

He said that you'll need to contact Virgin Media within 30 days of receiving your notification of the increase.

Martin said it's also worth checking to see whether your current deal is the cheapest out there, rather than 'leaving in a huff'.

But if you're wanting to stay with Virgin Media and you believe the price isn't right, now is the time to haggle.

Martin said that in a poll run a couple of months ago of MoneySavingExpert, 75 percent of Virgin customers who tried to haggle got a discount.
