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?SolvedPayment taken but order failed?
Hello all, Last night i placed an order for a non-contract broadband package went through all the steps and after making the upfront payment of £80 the page went to an "opps, something has gone wrong". I can see a pending payment of £80 in my account to Virgin media. After 10-15 minutes i didn't recive any emails saying indicating the order had gone through or details of next steps. All i have Contract summary sheet number that was genterated before the payment was taken. I spent an hour on the phone to yesterday and was bounced around all different departments and no one was able to provide much help. (Customer serivces, Callback number, new accounts team) As far as virign media is aware the account was not created, so i dont have a account number. What are the next steps, will the payment be evetually refunded when the system relaises there is no account it has been paid to? Many Thanks, Luke.Verification email doesn’t arrive
Hi, I’m a new customer. I’ve downloaded two apps: My Virgin Media and VM Connect. When I sign into these apps for the first time, they direct me to the VM website. I entered my email and pw and it said a verification was sent. However it didn’t came. I tried a number of times and checked junk folders, nothing. I’m just stuck at the log in. Has anyone experieced the same? If VM agents are here, could you please help? FYI, I’m using Gmail.Mod help please…no service…broken cable
Please can a mod help resolve. When gardening yesterday, my father who doesn’t live here accidentally put a shovel through the cable and cut it in half. I’ve only live here a year and the cable was already here beforehand, it was in an unexpected place as I didn’t not expect it to run under a crazy paved driveway (it must have been installed a long time ago), only buried 1 inch under the soil, under a plant, and not in any protective sheaf. I called VM, got sent round in circles unable to work, call hung itself up with after sending me a link which also wouldn’t allow me to report this. I then called back, and don’t know how, but within a minute ended up our through to a human being, albeit they had such a strong foreign accent I struggled to understand all they were saying. I explained the situation to them. I was then assured that there would be no charge for the repair and that I would receive ‘automatic compensation for loss of service’ which I thought odd, considering it’s not entirely their fault, but I feel it is to an extent as the original install was poorly done. I was then given an appointment for a repair of “Monday 13th August” between 1pm and 6pm. I asked for a text/email to confirm and was told it would come by text within 24 hours and the call ended. I then assumed the compensation would be because they were taking a week to fix it and their policy is within 48 hours to fix a fault from point of reporting or start compensating. I then looked at the calendar…the 13th is a Wednesday. So now I am not confident of when this appointment actually is. So I logged into my VM online account…it shows no appointment, it also shows no faults in my services, it says an issue with the ‘hub’ and wants me to go through the process of switching it off/on etc which is clearly useless. The only message I have received so far from VM is a text asking me to rate the quality of the customer service which is proof as such that I did speak to someone on the phone…the text says their name was Syed. I have also looked at online advice on how this repair would be carried out, many people do choose to do it themselves as it is only a plastic joiner from eBay that costs £3. However, I am not confident at DIY and would rather VM do it as it is their responsibility to ensure I can receive their services and also I don’t want to risk damaging the wire more. I also think the majority the blame lies with them for laying it in a planted border without burying it to a decent depth. It was an accident waiting to happen.Account showing as service not installed yet despite WiFi working and successfully installed yesterday.
Hi, I had virgin broadband installed yesterday by engineers and it all works fine but when I log into my account it shows only a green tick against the phone line and if I go to check service status, it shows "your service hasn't been installed yet". Clearly this is incorrect and this issue does prevent me from being able to check the service status on my account. Any ideas as to why it is showing this? Thank youFraudulent Account
Hi I have a fraudulent account on my name on my credit file with Virgin Telecom opened on 30th October 2024 which is reflecting on my credit file with 2 missed payments. This account is set up without my information or my concent. The account is opened on 30th October 2024 on My name on my previous address which I have not lived at that address since 2018. I have been informed by the people living at that address that there is Parcel which i believe is a Broadband Router with my Name delivered to the property mentioned above which was my previous address 6 years ago. I have rang virgin Telecom care line numerous times in last 4 weeks and made you aware that this is fraudulent account set up on my name and it needs to be closed down. Because it's affecting my Credit File. The account is showing on my credit report with missed payment and defaults. PLEASE CLOSE THIS ACCOUNT ASAP AND PLEASE NOTIFY THE CREDIT REFERENCE AGENCIES TO REMOVE THE INFORMATION FROM MY CREDIT FILE. THIS IS FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT AND I HAVE NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS. I have been given email by Virgin Care And Fraud Team. They have asked me to email my ID with current address. So they can close this account. They have told me it's already been flagged as fraudulent account but I need to email and send this information. I have sent the email as well but no reply. Call centre have no clue they just telling me same thing we will call you back I have been waiting 6 weeks. This is pure fraud and virgin is not taking any actionInstall + Account Questions
Hi, I registered to join Virgin back in November 2023, there were some issues and the install had to be cancelled. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I tried the sign up again, this time over the phone. Everything went through fine and I've had several people out to the property to replace nodes and cables on the outside of the property and the street but no activation date through. The account I created back in November seems to be linked to the new account number but is still showing contract information from back in November are no new details are displayed. I'm worried I might miss anyone coming out to the house for an internal install. Is anyone able to help? Kind Regards MikeCreating a new account
Created a new account for broadband on the 27/01 ready to move back in to my property on the 31/01. I received an email stating my new box was on the way and would be here 03/02. No box received on 03/02 so rang up- was told it was never processed due to a customer still having an active account on this line (my previous tenant who moved out). 1, why was I not told days ago so I could have sorted BT for my other half to start working from home Monday? 2, My old tenant has told me she has moved her addresses on her account to her new home and has spoke to virgin twice. Why is my time and life being wasted by Virgin Broadband?!
