403 Forbidden when I want to pay, VM is ignoring requests and keeps adding late fees

I feel like Im going crazy

For the past 3 months I haven't been able to pay my bills

The payments page give me a 403 Forbidden error whenever I try to login to pay

I reached out to customer service several times, I never gotten a reply or call back, but I keep getting emails saying they've added late payment fees.

This is my last attempt to reach out to Virgin Media before getting Ombudsman involved. There is paper trail of me trying to resolve this issue for a while and VM not acknowledging any of my requests.
