Virgin Media compensation deadline

When is the Virgin Media compensation deadline expected to be for those who are affected by the recent data breach event that was discovered earlier this year?

We answer this key question for you, and we also advise on the serious perils of missing the deadlines. With early provisional estimations of case values being up to £5,000.00 in this action, can you really afford to miss out on the chance to claim?

Our advice is always the same: act now to avoid any chance of missing out by starting your case here today.

Is there a final Virgin Media compensation deadline?

There is not yet a final Virgin Media compensation deadline for the data breach event that left information exposed between April 2019 and February 2020. We are not yet at the stage where a formal court deadline has been set, which will often happen when a formal Group Litigation Order is established.

Things can develop quickly, so this update is only applicable for the time and date of this article in August 2020. By the time you read this, there may be a formal deadline in place, or it may have already passed.

When could it be?

We cannot say for certain when the final Virgin Media compensation deadline may be. If we take a look at a similar data breach group actions that we are involved with, we may see a final deadline established next year. This is based on an action that we are on the Steering Committee, responsible for the overall conduct of the litigation – the British Airways Action. That breach was discovered in September 2018 and, just over a year later in October 2019, the deadline was set by the court.

If the Virgin Media action moves as quickly as BA one has, we could expect to see a deadline set in the early stages of 2021.

Why you should act now!

You may think you have plenty of time to get started given that there is no formal Virgin Media compensation deadline set in place yet.

But these deadlines come around very quickly. Thousands of people will probably miss out, and we can tell you from real experience that this really is the case. We still get almost daily inquiries from people who missed the deadlines for actions that closed years ago, and we must sadly turn those people away.

In some cases, victims may have lost out on the chance to claim tens of thousands of pounds in compensation. Can you really afford to miss out on such a chance?

There is also far more to it than just registering with a firm. Your case must usually be fully prepared, and you must have complied with any court directions before being able to join a formal court action. This can all take time, and you may need to take steps to gather information and evidence for us.

The longer you leave it, the bigger the risks can be. Plus, with our No Win, No Fee representation, why wait? You can also benefit from updates as we move the action along in the meantime as well.
