Start Your Virgin Media Data Breach Claim

If you’ve yet to start your Virgin Media data breach claim, here’s what you need to know about joining the action and how we’re helping people affected by this event.

News of the cybersecurity incident surfaced earlier this month, with as many as 900,000 people falling victim to a data exposure event. Names, contact information and even some details about contracts are involved in the leak, with an unsecured database left accessible between April 2019 and February 2020.

In response to the breach, we’ve launched our group action for people affected, and we’re representing Claimants on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Starting your Virgin Media data breach claim

Starting your Virgin Media data breach claim is quick and easy with the specialist website that we have set up for victims to use.

All you need to do is go to the main part of the website here and answer the simple questions to get the process started. Every day, more and more clients are joining the action using our form. As long as you’ve received the breach notification email or text, you should be eligible to start a legal case.

And that’s it, that’s all you need to do to sign-up for a claim now. You can then leave the rest to us as we’ve already started our legal action for compensation, so all you need to do as a victim is join the group.

What’s the case about?

The Virgin Media data breach claim action we’ve started is to pursue compensation for anyone affected by the recently announced cybersecurity leak of information.

Victims could be entitled to receive thousands of pounds in damages for:

• The distress caused by the loss of control of personal information;
• Losses and expenses incurred;
• Simply being the victim of the breach.

We know that, at least once during the breach period, an unknown third-party accessed the data that had been left exposed. It remains to be seen as to what this person has done or intends to do with the data, if anything. But criminals use the same methods that security researchers use to find exposed information and weak systems, and the breach was eventually identified by a researcher. It’s entirely possible that the data is now in the hands of criminals or is somewhere on the dark web.

How does the No Win, No Fee work?

As reputable lawyers, when you’re eligible to make a Virgin Media data breach claim with us, we work for you on a No Win, No Fee basis.

This means that we can write off our legal fees if the claim doesn’t win. We do this for the simple reason that we’re committed to access to justice as a leading consumer action and data breach compensation law firm. We don’t believe that it would be fair for you to have to pay upfront fees or pay money for our legal fees if the claim lost.

All we ask is that you, as our valued client, comply with the terms and conditions of the agreement. We say this because we can’t, for example, write off our legal fees if the reason a claim lost is because you brought a fraudulent claim!

Importantly, it does do exactly as it says. We have taken forward tens of thousands of individual claims and cases for dozens of actions. We can’t win them all, and in some cases, it transpires that the law means that an opponent has a viable defence. We have honoured our No Win, No Fee commitments, including in cases where Claimants should have won but the opponent intentionally went into liquidation and avoided paying out. We honour our promises to our clients!

Taking an action forward of this size is also incredibly costly. We can also obtain funding and insurance to protect our clients as well, which we will be looking to do in this case also. This is an added layer of protection for you and, as with writing off our legal fees, our insurers have honoured their commitments in the past as well.

We are confident we can win the action, but it’s still important to us that our clients are fully protected.
