Birmingham Virgin Media customers come forward to claim
Following additional press coverage with the Birmingham Mail, Birmingham Virgin Media customers have come forward in numbers this week to start a claim for compensation.
This follows the national media coverage in recent weeks, as well as last week’s midlands coverage in the Derbyshire area.
There may be an estimated 15,000 victims affected in the Birmingham area who could be eligible to sign-up for a No Win, No Fee case. Potential estimated compensation pay-outs could reach up to £5,000.00 per Claimant.
Losses claims for Virgin Media data breach victims
Our action for justice has been in the media a lot recently as we’ve talked about potential compensation pay-outs, but what about losses claims?
Our expert team has confirmed that the total pay-out could reach up to an estimated £4.5bn, based on potential averages of up to £5,000.00 in compensation per person. Realistically, any final pay-out, if achieved, will be based on individual factors for the case. Victims could be entitled to damages for the distress suffered, but there are also losses and expenses to consider.
Here’s some information about how we value pay-outs and what kinds of losses claims we could include.
Your Lawyers in the press: Derbyshire Telegraph
The Virgin Media data breach has been in the mainstream media again recently, with Your Lawyers in the press talking about Derbyshire residents and their rights to claim.
It’s estimated that there could be thousands of people in Derbyshire alone that are affected by the Virgin Media data breach. They may be eligible to join the action and could potentially claim up to an estimated £5,000.00 in damages.
With offices in Chesterfield, we’re always proud to be representing local clients in and around the Derbyshire area. With Your Lawyers in the press for the midlands area again, we’ve seen another influx of new clients signing up for our expert representation.
Steering Committee: what is it and how does it work?
If a formal Virgin Media data breach group action court case is formed, it’s likely that a Steering Committee will also be established. What is this, and how does it work?
As a leading firm of consumer action and data breach compensation experts, we’ve been appointed to Steering Committees before. We’re currently on the one for the first GDPR Group Litigation Order (GLO) in England and Wales, the British Airways data breach action. If the Virgin Media data breach action follows a similar course, we may see one for this case too.
If a formal court group action is established, that’s when a Committee will normally be required.
Distress claims for the Virgin Media data breach compensation action
With our recent successful media campaign confirming that the total estimated pay-out for the Virgin Media compensation action could hit £4.5bn, here’s some information about the distress claims victims could make.

Virgin Media data breach court case: warning about deadlines!
It’s likely that a formal Virgin Media data breach court case will be established which will then be used to manage the claimants as part of one action.
When this happens, there will usually be a court-imposed cut-off date for people to join the action. To benefit from the decisions made in the court case, including settlements, people will need to be a part of the action. For example, there may be an established Group Litigation Order (GLO).
Here’s a very important warning about making sure you join the action before any deadline hits. In fact, we urge you to take action now because missing the deadline is very easy, and it happens to thousands of people in many different actions.
