Unable to see new account in app after moving house

  • Hi, we moved home I called Virgin to help move the connection to new place. The person on the phone signed me up to a new tariff for the bundle I had. In the process a new account was created for me which I wasn’t aware of. My virgin media app is accessed through my primary email but it’s still linked to the old account which is now inactive. There appears to be no way to de-linking the old account number and linking the new account number to my virgin media app. I don’t really want to set up a new account with different email as I don’t access it and will likely miss important emails. The strange thing is that Virgin do have my current email on the new account as I get emails from them but cannot get online to view my account. Will be grateful if old account can be de-linked and new account linked to my login. 
    Thanks,

      Also having the same issue, have moved house and account is showing as closed with no access to the new one that I was never told had been set up. Using the same email address as previous, receiving emails but no access to my account on app or online. This appears to be a re-occuring issue Virgin has, perhaps better communication is needed.

        Hi Spoff 👋 Welcome to the community forum! Thanks for posting. 

        Sorry to hear you are having some difficulties viewing your new account via My Virgin Media. 

        When you move home, as part of the process of transferring your services to a new address, your My VM logins should also be changed over to the new account. More often than not, this process does happen seamlessly - but most of our customers that don't experience an issue would have no need to post about it! I do appreciate your frustration, and my sincerest apologies that this has happened in your case.

        I will send you a PM to confirm a few account details and help get this sorted for you. You can find the PM in your Inbox 📩 in the top right corner of the page. We can then return to this public thread with an update when possible. 

        Thanks for your patience in the meantime! 🌞

        Hey Megt, thank you for reaching out and a warm welcome to the community I am sorry to hear this.

        If you have moved house into you would need to set a new account up.

        If you are looking to use the same email we would need to raise an IT ticket. 

        If not you can set this up right away, do let us know.
