Setting up a direct debit without ‘memorable word’

Long story short, my grandmother-in-law pays her phone bill via paypoint but fewer and fewer places are doing it, so she’s having to travel a long way to do it…

We want to setup a direct debit for her instead, but when we call, the auto message wants the ‘memorable word’…she doesn’t remember it, and the only other person who did is now deceased.

She doesn’t have an online account, no internet or  device to access it. There’s no options on the phone line to speak to a human…what on earth do we do?

    Hey Ebovill4 Thanks for reaching out to us and a warm welcome to the Virgin Media Community forums. 👋🏼

    I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the memorable word you are facing. 😢
    We can send out a memorable word reminder if needed, and our team can also validate security through secondary questions. 🧾

    Have you tried this with the team?

    Kind regards,
    Ilyas.
