Hi, I've just returned to Virgin Media but I can't register for My Virgin Media with my email address, as it's 'already in use'. Can anyone tell me if I can reset or wipe my old account, or how to deregister my email from the old account?

Many thanks

Hi Superstaff79,

Thanks for your post and welcome to forums 🙂 

Sorry to hear you have been having issues, is this a virgin media email account? Did you leave then come back or move home?

Hi Zoie,

The email isn't a virgin email account. I left Virgin Media for a while, then returned, but the email in question is still registered to Virgin it seems.

Many thanks

Hi Sam,

Thank you for clarifying.

The email address you previously used for a My Virgin Media username will still be registered with your old account, even if it's been closed. However we can merge both your old and new accounts together so that you can continue using the same email address to log in, under our move and transfer process.

I'll pop you over a PM now so I can take some more details and look into this for you.

Please find my PM over at the purple envelope.

Hi superstaff79,

Thanks for providing your details over PM with me.

I have now raised a request for your accounts to be merged. Once our IT Team have completed the merge for you, I will let you know from here 🙂

They can take up to 5 working days to action these tickets but will aim to resolve as soon as possible.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else in the meantime

Of course! I'll pop you a PM now so we can put a request in to merge both your old and new accounts together under our Move & Transfer process 🙂

Hi @Chrisgreenaway,

Just following up with you on the back of the IT ticket that I raised for you. The team have carried out the provisioning checks and the email address concerned is not linked to your old account. If you register using your new account number, you should be able to use this email. 

Please can you try again and let us know how you get on?

Thanks
