Virgin Media Data Breach Group Action

We’ve officially launched our Virgin Media data breach group action where the 900,000 victims of the recently announced cybersecurity event can sign-up for a legal case here.

We’ve formally notified Virgin Media about the case, and we’re taking on growing numbers of new clients every day. Given the number of people affected by the beach, it’s likely that this will form into a group action with the court. There are a few ways that this can happen, but the likelihood that there will be one consolidated group is high.

As such, if you’re affected by the breach, we’ve made the process for securing your place in a formal group action nice and easy with this dedicated website.

Joining the Virgin Media data breach group action

You can secure your place and join the pending Virgin Media data breach group action by completing the form on the main part of our website here.

If you’ve received confirmation that you’re one of the 900,000 victims of the recently announced cybersecurity breach, you should be eligible to join our group. We’re already representing a number of other clients having been inundated with new inquiries since news of the breach broke at the beginning of March.

The process to start your legal case is quick and easy. Just complete the form and you can leave the rest to us.

When should I join?

We recommend that you sign-up to start a legal case as soon as you possibly can.

There will likely be a final court cut-off data to join, but you should secure your place in the Virgin Media data breach group action at the earliest opportunity. We’ve been involved in some of the biggest consumer actions the UK has ever seen and trust us when we warn you about this: we regularly receive new enquires from people for actions where the deadline has passed. Even today, we received yet more enquiries from those who had not started their case prior to a court cut-off date, and we must sadly turn those people away.

There’s more to it than just starting a case, as the court may require certain evidence and information before you can join as well. Make things easy – just sign-up and join now if you’re serious about making a claim.

It’s No Win, No Fee, so what have you got to lose?

What if I miss the deadline?

If you miss the final Virgin Media data breach group action deadline for joinder, we will probably be unable to help you.

Based on previous actions, you would need to ask the court for special permission to join late, but this is usually refused. We were involved in an action where another law firm (not us!) missed the deadline due to funding issues, and their clients were refused late joinder, stopping their claims being a part of the Group Litigation Order (GLO) there and then!

If you leave it too late, you risk losing out on the justice that you could be entitled to.

This also serves as an important warning in terms of who you trust to represent you for your case as well. Don’t let claims management firms fob you off by just registering your details and then passing you over to someone else. If you see law firms just registering information then this may also be something to take heed of, as it may not mean they’re actually pursuing a case for you.

Signing up with us means that you are appointing us to be your formal legal representatives. As a leading firm of specialist data breach and consumer action lawyers representing clients in over 35 different data actions, our experience speaks for itself.
