I'm having the same issue and can't get through on the phone because I don't have an account number.

My delivery date was supposed to be today

Hi @keviniseborn 

You could try calling the pre-installs team on 0800 052 1734 - they should be able to check what's happening to your order.

They are open  8:00am to 9:00pm  Monday to Friday, and 8:00am to 6:00pm Saturday and Sunday

Hi keviniseborn,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the community. 

I'm very sorry to hear you haven't had the delivery. 

Have you been able to contact the team via the number provided by newapollo?

Hi

Someone reached out and informed me it was because of the previous owner not deactivating their account. He also told me to expect a call from virgin media in the coming days.

Thank you so much for the swift support.

Hi Newapollo,

Thanks so much for the info. Someone contacted me and helped identify the issue. Previous owner hadn't cancelled their policy yet so couldn't set mine up.

Very useful to have this number though as I couldn't get through to main one due to not having an account number!

Hi @keviniseborn 

Thanks for updating the thread.

It's good to see that someone has been in touch. 

It sounds like they'll have to create a "gone away" form  which is the process they use so they can remove the flag from the system preventing your installation going ahead. It happens when the previous occupier hasn't cancelled their account and VM need to try and get an up  to date address for that person so they process that cancellation.

I'm glad to hear they were able to advise further on this.
