Can't move my Virgin - told my new address is for a business... but it isn't!

Hello.

I'm trying to move my Virgin Media broadband and TV to a new flat, but am being told they can't do it, as the address is registered for a business. 

But the address can be found straight away when using the Virgin Media residential postcode checker, and I called a couple of times a few months back to double check the move would be no problem, before I bought the flat! It is just a standard flat, and no business is run out of it.

The woman in the call centre gave me the business number, but it won't let me speak to anyone. I just want the address converted to residential, so I can have my connection moved.

Please help.

    Hi N34567 

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the community. Sorry for the confusion over the address type. I can see you've spoke to the team over the weekend and they did a Back Office form. 
    Please call the Movers team on 150 / 0345 454 1111 option 4 and 3, they should now be able to assist.

    Best wishes.

      Thanks John! Yes, I spoke with someone who was very helpful, and the matter was raised with her manager. It’s real pot luck on who you get at customer service. She’s meant to be calling me tomorrow to confirm the change has happened and to arrange the home move, but thank you for those numbers. I will call them if I don’t hear from her.
