hi @travis_m   all i keep getting from virgin media is to call them but as ive allready advised them i have time and time again with no outcome i.e email is still live. as ive allready stated that on the 27th decmber 21 i called eleven times about this mater and the 1st call lasted 47 minutes to be told ok the email will be removed and replaced with the new email i gave to the op during the 1st 47 minute call. since then apart from contact on here ive called another 10 times plus endless emails to which i always get the smae reply which is call them. calling virgin media is solving nothing as 1 month on plus endless calls plus emails have achieved nothing at all. you yourself put a ticket in almost 3 wks ago but said email is still live. i feel there is not a lot more i can do as it feels im banging my head against a brick wall. if it was just about spam id grin and bare it but some emails ive had are blackmail and threatening to which id of thought virgin would of helped with. as you say this email should of been shut down by now but even this morning more emails coming into said email. many thanks for getting back to me and for all your help.

Hi Forum Team,

I also need to delete a blueyonder email account, which just attracts spam and hackers. I would be grateful for help deleting the account, and the sooner the better. Thanks.

Thank you for your post and welcome to the community. 

We can certainly help with getting that deleted. 

I will private message you now to confirm the details.
