Cant access new account

I recently did a cross franchise move when I moved house.

When I log into my virgin media it shows my old account details from the old account number/area. I called virgin and they advised to register using a different email address. I tried to do this however it just says the new account number is already registered to my existing email address which still shows the old account number. 

When I try to log into the VM connect asap it says account is an active or closed. 

We have been using the service in the new house for over a week so it can’t because it isn’t activated. 

How can I get the account updated to show the new account number?

    Hi Cwhu18 

    Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

    This is where a Move and Transfer of the online account is needed, timescales are 24 hours. I'll send you a PM now.

      I am having the same problem, spoke to the call centre referencing this thread but they didn't understand what I asking for and just told me I had to use a different email address. Could I also get a PM please to initiate a move and transfer?
