New account number

Hi, I'm having the same problem, I moved into a new home, and my Virgin Media login (email address) is connected to my old customer number. I am not going to create a new email account just for Virgin, that is absurd.
Not only do I need to access my new account info, but also when I connected the router in my new home, Virgin detected that I was using an old hub, so they sent me an email to tell me I could get a free upgrade. The problem is that since that login is connected to my old address, they tell me they're going to send it to my old address! I really would like the new hub, but at my new address, obviously.

  • Hi Loretah,

    As stated by my colleague we would be able to go about sorting out a transfer of the account from the old one to the new one, but this can take up to 5 working days to complete, if you used a new email you can do this instantly, if you did want this done, let me know here and I can process this.

  • I tried live chat about this issue, I was told that the only solution is to create a new email address for the new account. That can't be right, I've seen other people in the forum getting help to avoid having to do that.
    Is it not possible to associate my new account number to my current email address, or delete the old account?

        Hi! Waiting 5 working days is not a problem, I would really like to transfer the account to the new one, please.
