"Something has gone wrong on our side"
I recently joined virgin broadband and when i went "manage my settings" primarily turn parental control off its comes up with the following, no matter what app i try or if i try on my phone or PC. For note the WIFI was installed on the 17/11/25 At first i thought it was just a one night thing but nearly a week later with no service outages i dont understand ( wifi is working fantastically well in term of speeds)Can't access settings or My Virgin Media.
So firstly, I have tried to get this sorted over the phone and it got escalated to the backend engineers. They called me once and said the problem has been solved, it has not been solved. Since the 6th of November (When I had VM broadband installed at my property), I have not been able to access the settings or properly log into my account. It presents me with this message on google chrome: """ Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit. """ And this message on the IOS app: "Oops, looks like something's gone wrong on our side. Please try again" And inspecting the element on both Edge and Google chrome I can see that it sent out a GET and got a error code 400 bad request. I have tried clearing my cookies and logging on however that also hasn't worked. I have a little more control in general on the My VM IOS app than on PC, as I can at least see the "Your package" tab and the service status. Everything breaks when I go into Settings--> Broadband--> Manage Virgin Media Settings. That's when it gives me the error message beginning with "oops". Any help would be appreciated although I feel this is a deeply technical bug on Virgin Media's side as opposed to the client side.How very dare you……
Having signed up for broadband a couple of weeks ago, I was told by the salesman and my “welcome” email (which also contained contract info and came to the email address I asked to be registered and used for official communications) that I needed to sign up for “My Virgin Media” so that I could track the progress of my order. Having tried this 5 times (with the well used and talked about muchly on here, excuse, regarding my email not matching one on some other VM account) until I was barred until the following day, I battled the inevitable bot to eventually chat to someone who told me it would probably take 48 hours before the system recognised me. I tried again a couple of days later, and same problem occurred so decided to look on this forum. There were numerous other people having the same or very similar issue venting their displeasure and getting various responses regarding new app, O2 merger, IT problems that were being looked into etc.. I posted and got a reply saying it would likely not be resolved until my service actually went live. Fair enough I thought, I’ll live with that, thinking it wasn’t my fault after all even though I feel it must be (sorry, just the way my brain works). A couple of days later I received an email asking why I hadn’t marked my post as “resolved”. This upset me as I couldn’t work out how I could do that until my service went live and I was then actually able to satisfactorily achieve the aim I set out to accomplish. Again, I’ve failed, another mental setback. Still I manage to carry on knowing live date is drawing near. Only 4 days to go and I get an email questioning why I haven’t set up my account and listing all the benefits it will bring me, it tells me my account number, my area code and comes to my favourite email address and has my first name at the beginning. So I try again and guess what? Same problem, mismatched email address with some account I don’t even know about. I think I’ve just about had enough of all this malarkey and the negative effect on my mental health. I don’t even know why I need it surely I just get internet access and pay for it and count down the 24 months till I can go elsewhere. Rant over, off to see my therapist now :-)Unable to log in to my virgin media account. When linking to O2 it says email dosn't match.
Hello, I am a new customer and I am unable to log in to my virgin media account. When I click sign in it says : ''Sorry, you can't access this page''. Then it tells me to link my virgin media account to my o2 account, then it tells me that they have found my account but the email adress dosn't match. Please help.Unable to link virgin media account to virgin media O2 ID account - Need to change engineer visit!
I've had a text saying an engineer is coming on the 23/07/25 which I can't be there for as my tenancy doesn't start until the 1st (Hence why I initially asked for 02/08/25). I tried logging in to change the date and was prompted to link my Virgin Media account and Virgin Media O2 ID. When I try I get an error saying: “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.” Additionally, if I try "I forgot my email", on Virgin Media I get the message: "The email address on your Virgin Media O2 online account is: [object Object]. Use this email address to sign in to your account." I need this sorted ASAP as I can't cancel the engineering visit without it! I've called but the useless robot interface keeps hanging up on me and not understanding what I need!Unable to see new account in app after moving house

I moved house, my old account was cancelled and a new one set up with a new account number and contract. I get emails RE bills and my contract to the original account email address. If I sign into my account it shows me only the old contract information and the old bills, nothing about the new contract or account. Ive called support and have been told I need to register a new account with a new email address. Every time I do I am told that something went wrong. I have tried different browsers, reset the cache, different email addresses, everything. I called back and was told to just try again later.

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 action
