Unable to link virgin media account to virgin media O2 ID account

Brand new user, signed up to virgin media with my email account, tried to login online, was asked to create O2 ID - created it using the same email address

I then get to the link part of it, and it says my email is wrong. And there is a 2nd email I must sign into first and verify.

I've tried to get the email it thinks is the correct one on the forgotten email link, but it comes up with corrupt lettering and is unreadable.

I can't get into my online account at all.

What can I do to correct this?

    Here's a solution that have worked for myself and others, Credits to JSladen 

    Go to Bing Search (yes, it has to be Bing), and search for 'Virgin Media Register', and look for the first non sponsored result, which should be titled 'Register My Virgin Media Account' follow that which manages to stay on the original Virgin Media Registration page. Setup your virgin media account there. Once that is setup try and go to the normal login which takes you back to the VirginMediaO2 linking thing, and set up/link again.

        Let us know if this helps, it is a work around but it does appear to help resolve the linking account issues experienced whilst the team puts a full resolve in place for this.
