Moved home, account not activated, and account inaccessible. No WiFi 2 days in.

I’ve recently moved home and had let virgin media know ahead of time. The place already has Virgin installed so only required a quickstart and I brought my equipment with me. 

Day 1, no WiFi, no option to activate. Called CS they advised 24 hours. 24 hours go by, no WiFi. 

call again, CS refused to proceed with the conversation because of security questions around the new account that I’ve received no letters/correspondence for. Can’t confirm the bill amount or due date as the account isn’t even showing in My Virgin Media, only my old account showing as closed. 

rang back 10 minutes later and this time they were happy to speak and put me through to a manager without the security questions for the new property. Advised the kit was still active at old address and they would manually transfer and would only take a few hours. 

Another 24 hours later still nothing. I have no WiFi, and I can’t talk to anyone about it because I can’t confirm the details of an account I’ve never seen or had access to. 

has anyone else had similar issues with moving home? Anyways to navigate the abhorrent customer service team?

    There are many tales here about failed house moves.  It should be a simple “Move and Transfer” with no change to your contract.  Hopefully a VM Mod will pick this up an a few days and assist.
