New customer and old account

[melaniebr]

Hi, I moved home a few years ago and stopped my virgin media internet subscription. Now I am moving again and re subscribed to Virgin Media internet broadband. 

My virgin media app is accessed through my primary email but it is 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.

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 same issue. I had an account with my email address, which I closed.

I've now created a new account (using the same email address), and I can't see my current package details. If I log in with that account, I see my old (disconnected) account. If I try to sign up with a separate email address, and put my new account details in, it tells me I already have an account (with the *old* email address).

How can I fix this is? 

Thanks!

Hi melaniebr 

Thank you for your post and welcome back to our community.

Juts to clarify please, have you been able to access the account since you contacted us last year?

Are you now trying to register for a new online account for your new property?

Please pop back to us when you can.

No I have not been able to access my account. I contacted support service so many times I just gave up.

i am just trying to move with my box, it is not a new account, same account, same machine, new address.

Hi @melaniebr,

If you have moved to a new address you would have a new account number. You would need to re-register with the new account number?

I just told you I did not move yet !!!!!! I just want to connect to my account please make this happen immediately. 

My subscription is till end of November 2023. I talked with one of your rep for 2 hours Thursday.

I think there may be a misunderstanding @melaniebr 

Are you trying to access your online account for the current address you are at or the new address you are moving to? If it is for the new address, you won't be able to use the same details. You would have to register again with a new account number as seen here https://my.virginmedia.com/create-profile/register. If it is for your current account, what happens when you try to log in? Do you get an error message?

Thanks,

[melaniebr]

When trying to log in my current account. I haven’t been able to in a year. Please help me connect to my current account I litteraly already shared a screenshot of the DEF01 errors I’m getting

your colleague assured me that when I move it would be the same account, as my subscription runs till November 2023, he told me I would be billed £20 for the move and would receive a confirmation email. I did not receive the email. I downloaded the chat discussion as your customer service has been horrible so far, happy to share what he said to me with you or in this forum

Thank you for letting us know @melaniebr 

Unfortunately, because it is a different address entirely, you would have to register again when you move to access your new online account https://www.virginmedia.com/my-virgin-media We apologise for any miscommunication on behalf of our team.

To best help with your current account, I am sending a private message. Please look out for this and provide a response when you can.

Thanks,
