Hi Matt

When you click on the hyperlinked 'My Virgin Media' there isn't a My Profile, it just takes you straight to the Account Details page where the only option is to select eBills / Email / Text in the Communications section. I had already selected that back in September so I'm not sure why I'm receiving paper bills. 

There doesn't seem to be any option for me to manually switch other than in Communication preference which I have already done.

Thanks

Hi, doonick.
Sorry to see the issue with this persists, to explain you should be able to log on and this takes you to the home page, then hit the account settings button and go to account details from there, unless you've stayed signed on and iy just pops you to the same page you left it previously.
Could you kindly confirm if you mean when accessing your new account you can still see the e-billing option active but in fact you get paper bills regardless?
If this is the case let us know and we're happy to assist, cheers.

    Hi Adri,

    There is no option for e-billing. I have attached a screenshot of the account details page (I have blanked out my personal details). The only option to select e-billing is under the communication preference. I had already selected eBills / Email / Text but I'm not receiving my bills via email or receiving texts, even though I have added my email address which is the same one I use to login to my account.

    Out of curiosity, I re-entered my email address in the contact details section and when I received the link to verify it, the verification link didn't work, it said it had expired even though I had clicked on the link in the message as soon as I received it. 

    Can someone check to see if my email address has been verified? Maybe that's why I'm not receiving eBills.

    Looking at the forum, it seems this is not an isolated case and other people have had the same issue. 

    Thanks
