Issue Linking Virgin Media Account to Virgin Media O2 ID Account.
Below taken from a previous discussion on this forum but as it's the exact same issue and they explained it well I've stolen it. Hi all - hoping posting here can shed some light on this whole process. I am a new customer with virgin media, and have just been sent all the emails through with my contract etc. on the email address I used to set up the account. The emails said to set up the My Virgin Media account, so I clicked the link and registered my Virgin Media O2 ID account. It then said to link that account to my Virgin Media account, however when I did so, it said that the email accounts don’t match, even though I used the same email address for both: “We’ve found your Virgin Media account However, this account is linked to an email address that’s different to the one on your Virgin Media O2 ID. If you’d like to continue and link your Virgin Media account to your Virgin Media O2 ID, please confirm the full email address your Virgin Media account is currently registered to. We’ll then send an email to that email address to approve the transfer.” So I put my email in (the one from which I received all emails about my contract setup), but it is saying the email address doesn’t match even though I literally copy pasted it from my contract document. It gave me five attempts to put my email in and the same error message came up each time - I now have one attempt left and don’t want to use it in case my account gets blocked. Please could anyone advise on what I’m doing wrong or if this is a glitch or something?? It’s a bit of a niche problem I think, and I couldn’t find anything on the FAQs! I feel like I’m going insane because I’ve checked the email so many times to make sure there are no typos or anything but it’s still not working!linking virgin media account to virgin media O2 ID account

Email no longer working
My son uses an email account connected to my virgin media account. Has had it a few years. For some reason he can no longer use it and when he signs in it says his email isn’t linked to an account. If we try to link it to my virgin media account it try’s to replace my email address. any help pleaseVirgin Media have changed my contract without my permission
Simply put, I called the Virgin Media CS team two days ago on 12/7 to report a broadband signal issue in my area. Later on the call, they go through some of the upgrade options for my current contract. I told them I do not want any changes to my current package and will decide later on if I want to renew or not. However, I received an email today stating that my contract has been renewed and my package upgraded. I just simply want to go back to my old package and make decision later on this year about renewal. Does anyone know how to file a formal complaint so it can be resolved?Problem with extending contract
I was supposed to cancel my services on July 7th, but on July 4th received an offer to extend for 25 GBP per month which I accepted (I received the contract information sheet). I confirmed with customer service (disconnection team) that it's approved and there will be no disruption in service. On 7th July my service was still disconnected and I was informed when I called that it may take 72 hours to set it up again. Later in the day I had an unexpected visit from Sales Team to tell me that they don't see any information about me extending the contract, I am just no longer a customer. They have made me believe that instead of waiting to extend which won't happen, I should start a new contract with them on the spot. They have promised to match my extension offer of 25 GBP per Volte M350 and send new router within 24h, but I received a contract for 29 GBP and installation date for July 10. The sales person also promised at least Hub4, but he was dishonest in many cases and I received the Hub3. The sales person said I need to create a new account, but I can't use my email because it's already used by another account (yes, me!). I am very unhappy about how the extension deal has been handled and that I can no longer just continue services as confirmed, but have to set it up again. **************** Can someone help with the following things? Nobody started to proceed my case and I don't know if they start because it was created from deactivated account: -Match my extension deal of 25 GBP per month as offered - Dispatch return box for my old router since I have to have new one - Release my email address so I can create new account (I want to connect my new account with the email address from the contract) - During a call with customer team on morning 7th July (before the visit from the sales person) I was also offered 25 GBP credit to my account as good will for the inconvenienceCant Access original email address
Hi, I've read posts from other users stuck in a similar loop and it can only be sorted by an agent stepping in and helping by the looks of it. i've been with virgin nearly 8 years I think so the original email address used to set up online services is no longer avalible to view. An old btinternet address (now closed) I dont have access to this email anymore. I have been trying to link my virginmedia account with my O2 account but it keeps sending setup links to the old address, when i went into my My virgin media online portal (which works through my virgin medeia log in, i go into the security and sign in details page. which allowes you to change the primary adress. how ever to do this it sends a one time pass code to the email address i cant access. as such im stuck in a loop I try and get it sorted but run into brick walls each time. I need someone to run through customer security with me using name, address, account number, payments etc and update my email address to a current active one so that I can get the onetime pass code to enable full functionallity. Please please help. Many thanks in advance, GeoffWant to change over account owner and address. Need help.
My flatmate and I are parting ways as he is leaving Dundee to work abroad, so I have moved out of our flat as well. The account is under his name and its for our old address whereby the plan is due to end soon. I was wondering if the contract could be restarted, with the account moved over to me and the address changed to my new address in Dundee (which is compatible with virgin media). Please help me! Thank you!
Not Prompted for Password
I am unable to access My Account on virginmedia.com. I enter my email address and after a short delay this is displayed: I never get an opportunity to enter my password. I have tried from multiple computers, multiple browsers and multiple ISPs (including Virgin) always with the same message above being displayed. My TV package includes SkySports and I am able to use my Virgin customer details to log into Sky Sports on the same computers that I am unable to access my account on the Virgin Media website. Customer support are blaming my configuration without giving any indication how I might resolve it, perhaps someone here can help?
Which flipping (polite version) username / password / PIN?
Every time I have an issue with VM and need to login I seem to be entering an incorrect password. No idea why, I have a password manager which usually tells me what I need to enter (one now filled with multiple entries some with copious notes). Quite often I go to sign in to Email and the bookmarked URL doesn't work (usually get an error message, again, I don't know why VM make this difficult everyone else seems to handle it). So, how many passwords/accounts are there? Could someone from VM just list where I need a particular password or username and for any online services where the actual login page is. For example, and not limited to: Broadband / TV - account Email (blueyonder) (incidentally the username for this now seems to be my Gmail email address, oh wow) Email (blueyonder POP3 settings for Gmail) Virgin Media TV 360 box (need for resetting yet another PIN) Customer Services - telephone username / PIN? VM Community anything I've missed? Why can't VM just have a single account name for everything and simplify it for all their customers who have a billion other passwords to remember and VM is not the centre of their lives?
