If you\u2019re one of the 900,000 people affected by the recent cybersecurity event, you could be entitled to make a Virgin Media GDPR claim for compensation<\/strong><\/a> on a No Win, No Fee basis with us.<\/p>\n

As the breach period took place between April 2019 and February 2020, the GDPR applies. This vital piece of legislation not only means that Virgin could receive a substantial GDPR fine, but it also allows victims to make a claim for compensation. Money from fines is a totally separate thing to a legal case which is why we\u2019ve set up the group action for people to join<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

As a victim, all you need to do is complete the simple forms on the main page here<\/strong><\/a> and you can get your GDPR compensation claim started right away.<\/p>\n

Starting a Virgin Media GDPR claim<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can start your Virgin Media GDPR claim for compensation by completing the simple forms on the main page of the website here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve received confirmation that you\u2019re one of the people whose information has been exposed in the event, you should be eligible to start a legal case with us<\/strong><\/a>. We\u2019re not just registering people\u2019s information with the view to then perhaps taking action at a later date; we\u2019re actively pursuing legal cases right now.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re representing a growing group of clients and we\u2019ve already notified Virgin Media about the action that we\u2019ve launched. We\u2019ve been appointed to Steering Committees by the High Court of Justice in other actions, and this includes the first ever GDPR Group Litigation Order (GLO) in England and Wales – the British Airways Group Action. Although the Virgin Media data breach compensation action has only just been launched, it may end up being a GLO and could be bigger given that there are almost twice as many victims as the BA breach event.<\/p>\n

No Win, No Fee<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For those that instruct us to represent them for their Virgin Media GDPR claim, we have some very good news for you.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re able to represent Claimants on a No Win, No Fee basis for those who instruct us to represent them for their compensation case. This means that we can write off our legal fees if the case doesn\u2019t win, subject (of course) to your compliance with the reasonable terms and conditions. This is how we operate in the over 35 different other data actions we’re representing clients for.<\/p>\n

We do this because we\u2019re huge believers in access to justice. With the No Win, No Fee representation available for you right now, what have you got to lose?<\/p>\n
