New account after moving home cant access because old account is active

  • Hi, we moved home I called Virgin to help move the connection to new place. The person on the phone signed me up to a new tariff for the bundle I had. In the process a new account was created for me which I wasn’t aware of. My virgin media app is accessed through my primary email but it’s still linked to the old account which is now inactive. There appears to be no way to de-linking the old account number and linking the new account number to my virgin media app. I don’t really want to set up a new account with different email as I don’t access it and will likely miss important emails. The strange thing is that Virgin do have my current email on the new account as I get emails from them but cannot get online to view my account. Will be grateful if old account can be de-linked and new account linked to my login. 
    Thanks,

I am having this exact problem too. I called Virgin Media Customer Services about it three weeks ago. They said IT will sort it in 5 working days, which has long since passed. Can someone look into this for me? There's only so many hours I can waste calling people trying to go through it all again.

I'm also due a credit of £280 ish - but I can't tell if this has been processed, as I can't access my account.

 

I am currently 6 months into my 5 days to resolve. 4 weeks ago I received my last private message from them telling me it has been escalated and they have yet to reply or update since then. They are still on here boasting about their response rates repeatedly, and telling me they won’t respond to my message board messages because I am ‘in conversation’ via private message. It’s only a conversation if someone a) replies and b) actually does something.

I have now resorted to posting messages here each time I get a notification that they have written on this thread in the forlorn hope that someone will reach out and actually resolve my issue, or at the very least provide some form of update. I’m sure they think all think I’m being a p**ck here, but I’ve worked their jobs and I would have been embarrassed by this lack of service. I waited almost 5 months before I started writing on this board. How long do they expect me to wait before I get angry and frustrated for paying for a service I am not getting?

I hope that someone from management is watching this thread because it is abysmal customer service. Not only have they failed to make any meaningful impact on my issue, there have been a number of snarky bordering rude responses from their staff to my attempts to get some traction. At this point I am considering cancelling, asking for all my money back and going to the ombudsman, because their lack of interest is unacceptable.
