Delete unused NTLworld email accounts

I cancelled my Virgin Media account in November 2020. My email accounts, which are all @ntlworld  accounts should have been deleted after 90 days but they are all still active and 1 has been hacked and is sending out spam messages from what appears to be my account. As I'm no longer a customer, how can I get all of my @ntlworld accounts deleted when I no longer have a Virgin Media login?

      Hi Tjo63, 

      Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. It's lovely having you on board with us in the Forums. ⭐

      We're sorry to hear you're wanting to delete some email addresses. This is something that would need to be done by our IT Team. We can raise a ticket to get this done. It is worth noting that if one of the email addresses is a Primary account, then this cannot be deleted. Only secondary email addresses can be deleted. 

      In order to raise this, I'll need to confirm some information with you to pass security. I've sent you a direct message to allow us to do this with you in a private space. Just click on the little ✉ at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox. :)

      Many thanks,

      How did you go about getting the account closed down?
