Can't access Virgin account.

I've been with Virgin for a whole 11 days now and spoken to multiple people regarding not being to access my account. I can't log into the app. I can't login online. I've tried various methods...incognito, through different browsers, even on different phones and PC's. Nothing is working, but very time I've spoken to someone I've been assured it'll be fixed.

The issue with not being able to access my Virgin account is I can't activate my netflix account and link my existing netflix account, which has resulted in me being charged by Netflix in the gap between leaving BT and joining Virgin. Again, multiple people have promised to email me an activation link but nothing has arrived. 

Today I tried changing the email linked to the account as advised by  someone via the online chat and then changing my password. Surprise surprise...it still doesn't work.

Whenever I try to log in, I either get a message saying 'Oops there's been an issue on our end. Please try again', a blank screen, or in the case of the app, I get booted back to the sign in screen.

I'm at the point where I'm just going to cancel because it's really not worth the hassle. With BT everything just worked from the start, and so far with Virgin it feels like nobody even knows what they're doing.

  • Same issue. I can't even log into my account properly. Netflix have since charged me for my existing account that I'm supposed to be linking to virgin but because I can't access my account I can't see any of the settings or tiles. Several people promised to send a new activation email but still nothing.

  • Here's the message that I get. From the side panel it shows I'm signed in, but I can't actually see anything in the main panel. 

  • Hi thatmayf,

    Thanks for your post and welcome to our community.

    We're sorry to hear you're unable to log into the online account.

    Just to clarify please, have you registered for the online account successfully?

    Did you create your Virgin Media O2 ID?

    Please pop back to us when you can.

        I've even tried creating a new VirginO2 ID and linking that to my account. Still nothing.

    To add to this, i'm having the exact same issue! Been wtih Virgin for about 14 days, do have a virgin/02 id.  And all the pages basically either freeze or show me the 'oops' screen. I can't view my bills, look at my account details, or access my disney+ activation link.  The only pages that work (surprise surprise) are the ones that divert externally to sell you more stuff

  • So can anyone help me? I feel like I've tried everything.
