Tuning in

My virgin.net account has stopped working. I have tried linking it to my Virgin media account but it says there is a problem. Please help. I am a current Virgin media customer with home broadband.

While I'm glad that the user can get into their emails now, what bothers me is this sentence:

I have tried linking it to my Virgin media account but it says there is a problem.

Being as there is nothing a user can do to properly link an old email address to a separate broadband account, can you revisit this and see if the Move & Transfer process might apply here.  Otherwise the user is at risk of the virgin.net email address being deleted.

Hi christheflute,

 

Thank you for your post and welcome to the community. 

 

I'm very sorry to hear about the issue with your email address. 

 

Have you been able to try resetting the password for your email address?

I spent over 2 hours hours with the online help yesterday and got nowhere. Password reset by them. To be honest I don't think they had a clue as the said they would get back to me by saying they would send me an email to the email address I can't receive emails from! 

As I said in my previous reply, I found the person (Sona) totally inept so I wondered if they had actually changed my password. I tried checking last night and couldn't even access my accounts. Anyway Sona had not changed my email password but I just managed to and I can now receive emails. THANK YOU so much for ending a stressful 24 hours. I just wish the online help knew such a straightforward fix.
