Dispute Resolution Process
At Virgin Media Limited our aim is to resolve invoice queries or disputes in a timely manner and ensure payments are made at the earliest opportunity. If you have a query regarding the payment date or an invoice dispute then the best way to contact us is to raise a query on our Purchase to Pay (P2P) Query Tool https://vm-supplier.custhelp.com. The P2P Team will be able to resolve most queries and can liaise with our internal business contacts on your behalf. More complex disputes may need the business contacts to provide feedback directly. Upon resolution of any disputes or queries if the invoice has become due it will be settled on the next payment run.
