Why make a claim for the Virgin Media data breach?
If you’ve received notification that you’re affected by the Virgin Media data breach, you may be wondering: why make a claim at all?
It’s totally up to you as to whether you go ahead with a case or not. The law is there and it’s on your side, but it’s down to each and every victim to decide if they want to be a part of the group compensation action or not.
With this aspect in mind, here are some reasons as to why making a claim can be beneficial for you and for data protection on the whole.
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.

Will there be a Virgin Media data breach GDPR fine?
With the huge cybersecurity event dominating the news in recent weeks, you may be wondering whether there will be a Virgin Media data breach GDPR fine on the horizon.
We know that the Information Commissioner’s office (ICO) – the UK’s data regulator that’s responsible for issuing monetary penalties – is aware of the breach. They will no doubt carry out an investigation with the view to issuing a punishment if they feel it’s appropriate to do so.
So, when will we know, how much could the fine be, and does this have any impact on the Virgin Media Data Breach Group Action for compensation?
Virgin Media data breach consumer action
You could be eligible to join the Virgin Media data breach consumer action if you’re one of the 900,000 victims of the recently discovered data breach.

We offer No Win, No Fee representation for victims of this beach, and we may be able to help you too.
Remember: the law is clear, and the law entitles victims of a data breach to claim compensation. These laws are in place for very good reasons, and we must ensure that companies are held to account and ensure victims can access the justice that they deserve.
