Virgin Media O2 ID - still can’t log into my account

14 days ago I went through the process to register, verify and link my Virgin Media account to the above new Virgin Media O2 ID and completed it all apparently successfully as instructed using a non Virgin media related email - but since then I have not been able to log into my Virgin Media Account and so cannot see my bills, online email or manage my account in any way.
When I try to login - either online or on the app - all I get is a spinning VM logo on an otherwise blank page and then bounced back to the sign in button page.  Sabrina_B had been looking into this for me but I haven’t heard anything from her in 8 days now.

 I can see that I am not the only person on this forum still having this issue despite it apparently having been solved 12 days ago - according to a Mod Post on here.14 days without account access is too long - can someone please, please help me and fix this as soon as possible.

  • Today is a very good day!!! Some sort of miracle has occurred behind the scenes at VM and I have actually been able to successfully log in to my account both online and on the VM app - never thought this was going to happen, just hope it stays working. Also all the remaining issues from when I took the account over following my mum’s death have been fixed too - really can’t believe it!!!

  • I am having the same problem and issues, I cannot login to my virgin media app since I signed up to virgin media O2 joint login account. Have phoned and got nowhere also, does anybody have any idea how to resolve this problem or are we now just not able to view our bills forever more now?

      Hi Oculargravy1 

      Thanks for posting and welcome to the community. Sorry to hear of the log in issues.

      You've mentioned the app, are you able to log in via a browser? If not, are you getting any error messages? 

      Best wishes.

  • It's like pulling teeth.

    I have been unable to log into my account since 14 July. Just for a laugh I thought I would ring CS yesterday for an update on my latest ticket. Bad idea!

    This is not verbatim, but as far as I can recall -

    'Thank you so much for calling. I will just check. Yes sir, that ticket has been closed.'

    'Why?'

    "Yes. Thank you. I will check that for you. It was open for more than 5 days.'

    'And what was the resolution?'

    'I will check. Yes. There is not a resolution.'

    'So you close a ticket if open for more than 5 days?'

    'Thank you. I will just check. It says that you received a call from IT  to say that they were working on it.'

    'Did I? That's nice! And then they closed the call. And that is it?'

    "I will just check that for you. It says that there was an error.'

    "What sort of error?'

    (Unintelligible response. Something along the lines of an error with the email address. The last ticket was closed because it said there was a 'misunderstanding of the problem').

    'Please be assured sir and not to worry they are working on it.'

    'If it is closed, how are they working on it?'

    'Yes. Thank you. I will check that for you. Yes. It has been escalated.'

    'To whom?'

    'One moment and I will of course check that for you. It has been escalated to IT.'

    (Pause while I try to absorb this nonsensical conversation).

    'Who closed the ticket?'

    "Thank you, I will check that. There is no name.'

    'Can I speak to a supervisor?'

    'Yes sir. Thank you, I will check that. I am afraid there is no supervisor available at the moment.'

    "Manager?'

    "I will of course check for you. I am afraid that unfortunately there is no manager available at the moment.'

    'Let us put that aside for the moment. What happens to my problem now?'

    ' Let me open a new ticket for you and'

    (Call disconnected by agent)

    To cut a very long story short I rang back and after a pointless 30 min further conversation with one of their IT gurus who was convinced that the whole problem was caused by too many log in attempts  - I manged to persuade her that as the issue had been replicated by previous IT people and by CS that the issue was not with my system, but a fault with my account, that we can just go ahead and raise a new IT ticket.

  • I have the same problem since I generated my VMO2ID. Any attempt to login to my Virgin Media account just results in the spinning logo with a "Logging In" message, it never gets any further. I am locked out of billing, and I need to generate an app password for my email client. Please advise what I am supposed to do. I have tried clearing cache, cookies, changing browser and the result is the same. It is very frustrating.

      Hi MikeH14 👋 Welcome to the community forum! Thanks for joining this thread and making your first post. 

      Sorry to hear you are also having some difficulties with your VMO2 ID - and subsequent email access. We appreciate these kinds of online account access issues can be frustrating! There's a back office team working on a number of different root causes for issues at the moment, and there are a few new en-masse fixes due to go live in the next week or so. 🤞

      In the meantime, I will send you a PM to check everything is set up correctly on your account, and then get you to send us a screenshot over of the issue you are having to raise an IT ticket if needed. 

      Please keep an eye on your Inbox 📩 in the top right corner of the page. We can return to this public thread with another update when possible. Thanks for your patience and co-operation!🌞

        These tantalising scraps of information that you dangle in front of us.. about possible fixes.. in a week or so... and the back office team working so hard...

        I know we only customers and therefore not really important and it is not necessary to keep us up to date with any information -  but it would be really, really nice  if there is some progress that there was a proper update from a manger or department and  they could clarify what the problem is, what is going on and some idea of resolution time.

        Cal me old fashioned… but that is how thing used to happen … (obviously things have changed)..

  • So it’s been nearly 3 months now with this above issue of mine still not fixed and I was just wondering if anyone on here has had the same - or a very similar problem - and managed to get it fixed yet and if so how? If you have can you please share instructions on how to fix it with me - don’t know how much longer I can bear to wait for VM IT team etc to pull their fingers out and get this sorted. 
    Thanks

        Hi samrobbo17,
        Just wondering if you’ve made any progress with getting a resolution to the issue we both have yet?

        I’m still waiting for anyone from any team to get back to me with a solution.

  • Hi Chrissielou 👋.

    Thanks for the latest update. Shall we jump into a private message so we can see what the latest is with getting you bill access.

      Thanks Crazyere, I have actually already tried the solution in that link, however it does not work for my issue which is that I cannot log into to my ‘My Virgin Media’ account.  The account is already correctly linked to the Virgin  Media O2 ID and everything is verified - just doesn’t work when I try to login.

        Thanks for this, is the password still the same as last time for your email account or have you changed it since you spoke to Martin?
