@dazza65 What has happened that leads you to believe that your email account has been hacked? There are a number of legitimate reasons why your VM email account may be unavailable which do not involve hacking.
What error message do you get when trying to log in to your VM webmail account using this link: https://mail.virginmedia.com/
Do you still have a Virgin Media broadband account and is the problem email address properly linked to it?

Found out that my Currys account was hacked and they purchased some items online.
I had a email on virgin stating this but after a few minutes i couldnt get onto it.
Unfortunatley the forgotton password option is useless in this case!
The hacker has also frozen me out of Currys now so im on the phone first thing tommorrow.

Hi
I get the message Please ensure you provide the email address you used to sign in to virgin media.
My wife is on the phone with virgin now as she is the account holder and also has been blocked.
Thanks for your help

So after many phone calls to VM and helpful advise from a team member we have got three letters with our memorable word on as a reminder.
We phoned again and still failed on the memorable word questions! What is going on with VM? Seriously thinking of leaving after 15 years.
