A large number of Midlands Virgin Media customers have come forward to start their compensation claim as victims of the data breach that was discovered at the end of February.<\/p>\n

Coverage of the group action for justice has featured in mainstream media over the last few weeks, and over the last few days it has also featured in regional press. As more people know their rights, we have seen a huge influx of people starting their No Win, No Fee legal case.<\/p>\n

If you are one of the Midlands Virgin Media customers affected by this significant cybersecurity leak, here is how we can help you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Midlands Virgin Media customers come forward for help<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Following additional press coverage, a large number of Midlands Virgin Media customers have come forward for help and representation.<\/p>\n

The action has recently been featured in the Derby Telegraph<\/strong><\/a> as well as the Birmingham Mail<\/strong><\/a>. There may be an estimated 11,000 affected in the Derbyshire area, and 15,000 in the Birmingham area. Each could be entitled to receive up to an estimated \u00a35,000.00 in damages as part of a potential \u00a34.5bn compensation action.<\/p>\n

Victims can be entitled to receive compensation in accordance with their rights that are enshrined in law; i.e. in the GDPR. Fines and penalties issued by the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) are not designed to be used as compensation, which is why separate legal action is launched. Our action is for victims to be able to claim compensation for the distress caused by the loss of control of their personal information. If losses and expenses are incurred, these could also be recovered.<\/p>\n

About the No Win, No Fee legal action<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The No Win, No Fee representation is in place to protect clients in the unlikely event that the action does not succeed, subject to the relevant terms and conditions.<\/p>\n

Given the nature of the breach, how it happened, and the length of time information was exposed, we believe that there has been a clear breach of important data protection law. As such, we are confident that victims will be able to succeed with their claims, which is why we are confident in offering No Win, No Fee agreements.<\/p>\n

We are also huge believers in access to justice.<\/p>\n

Sign-up to start your case today<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you are one of the Midlands Virgin Media customers affected by the data breach, or if you are based anywhere else in the UK, we may be able to help you.<\/p>\n

To start your claim for compensation now, all you need to do is go to the dedicated website here<\/strong><\/a> and complete the forms. As long as you have received confirmation that you are a victim of the breach, you should be entitled to join the action.<\/p>\n

It can take a matter of minutes to get started, and with No Win, No Fee representation, what have you got to lose?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
