Can't reset password on My Virgin Media

I can't reset my password or access my account properly. I've tried calling the customer support line and keep getting fobbed off with the same "it'll take 72 hours for the fault to fix itself" line. When i try and reset my password i get this text.

"You can’t reset your password online right now, as you don’t have additional details set up on your account. To reset your password, please contact us and one of our team will help you". But when calling the telephone support, it's always the same answer and no help.

I can't setup the additional information to complete my account or even reset my account. On the My Virgin Media app it doesn't even show the account number and area ref at all. It's blank. 

  • Hey ColinGrieve, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

        Yep just did it so hopefully I can get some help on this issue 

  • I’ve got the same issue and I’ve had enough of it now. Customer service are blaming apple even though logging in on desktop doesn't work as well. Did you get a resolution to resetting the password?

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I've had to use a 5yrs+ old account to type this. For God sake someone help and sort this out. Even the staff changed it for me and nothing has happened. WHY?
