Help accessing account

Really hoping someone can help as now just stuck!! My husband is registered with an account for both our house and his parents and has been for sometime. It has now come to an end and the bills has now increased. He recently lost his email address that was registered to the account and unable to get it back/any emails to that address: he has also changed his phone number but did not change them with virgin. He doesn’t get postal bills so no way of finding out his account number and upon calling virgin media he is unable to pass security checks to speak to someone to either cancel/renew his contract and are now stuck in a continuous cycle of being charged a lot! When we did call last time they would accept an outstanding balance from him (which he paid) so they can see the details but won’t speak with him regarding anything further as he doesn’t pass security checks. Surely there must be some other way around this as people do lose emails/phones etc! Please can anyone help/advise. Thanks in advance

  • Just to add - we also do not have an account number as we don’t receive bills so unable to use this either to log in

      No worries hannahnig 

      Can you get the account holder to contact us and we can assist further?

      This is an account holder only situation. Either via their own Forum account or via giving us a call 150 / 0345 454 1111.

      Best wishes.

  • Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, we cannot log in online as the email it send the verification link too is no longer in use. We did not have a back up email on the account. We don’t have the email or telephone number registered on the account. If you send the memorable word in the post would this allow us to speak with someone over the phone as all other security questions fail due to not having the same email/phone. Thank you 

  • Hey hannahnig, thank you for reaching out and a warm welcome to the community we are so sorry to hear you are stuggling to get into the account.

    You can go down the forget username route this should allow you to login back in?

    From your online account you can also change the memorable word.

    If all this fails we can send out the memorable word in the post for you?
