Creating account receiving error code: DEF01

[dpnemergut]

Hi,

I've had Virgin Media for over a year and haven't needed to use my online account. However, now when I try to create an account with my account number, area reference, etc. I receive the error code DEF01. This is preventing me from accessing my bill and account information. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi Nat,

Thanks for your help. I've tried your suggestions and haven't had any luck. I've tried using Firefox and Chrome on 2 different computers and on my phone. Clearing cache and cookies didn't have any effect, nor did using a private window. I've also tried the mobile app but it uses the same registration page as the browser and I'm receiving the same error. It seems to me like a server side error, but I might be wrong.

I am sorry this has not worked for you but please don't worry as we will be able to help. 

I am going to need to confirm a few details via private message so I will pop this over to you now and you will be able to access this via the purple envelope on the top right of this page.
