Can't Create Account - Live Chat Down?

I signed up to Virgin Broadband in March for a property I only moved into a week ago.

Last week I attempted to use my billing account information to create my online Virgin Account. When attempting to do so, the system advises me my information is wrong.

I used the live chat service and a bloke told me he would raise a ticket and a complaint regarding the issue. I've been given a Complaint Number and an IT Ticket number, but i've recieved no call, nor can i find my way back to the Live Chat service (is that down?)

In any case, what do I need to do? I need to access the online account functionality. I'm being billed, so it should be easy to verify me as a customer.

Thanks,
Sam

If you're having problems signing in, first make sure you're using the latest version  but can't sign in - you might have multiple accounts (and not even know it).

Definitely can't be the case. I'm a first time customer.

Hi Sam,

Sorry to see you are having problems creating your account.

The VM systems are set up to accommodate a 9 digit account number. There have been instances where the account number is only 8 digits.

If that's the case with your good self then try inputting a leading zero, eg 012345678

Also when registering, your chosen password needs to be between 8 to 10 characters long, letters and numbers only, no spaces. And the first character must be a letter.

Please let us know if this works for you.

Hi Dave, I've just double checked and my account number is indeed 9 Digits long. Appreciate the thought though.

When speaking to the Live Chat dude the other week they flat out said "this is a technical issue" and that "I would be contacted within 5 Days by phone". It's all very...old fashioned.

Are you aware of any issue with the LiveChat service as I've been unable to find it while checking today. I was hoping to simply go on that, quote my Ticket Numbers and find out what's going on.

It's pi**ing me off tbh. haha.
