What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

@virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

@virginmedia What's happening virgin media? Can't gain access to my account because you've decided to make me link it to an O2 id account, I'm not at O2 customer. What is the point of offering a service which clearly doesn't work.

@virginmedia @chaitu99 Unbelievable that it’s taking so long. The trouble shooting step in your link is saying to register for a Virgin Media account but we already have an account.

@virginmedia please can someone contact me. I no longer have access to the e-mail address associated with my account, therefore cannot login to my virgin media and cannot change the e-mail address associated. Help! Also your internet is awful at the moment but can't run any tests

@virginmedia Believe it or not, still no change. It says that the email linked to my account is [object OBJECT] so I can’t link it to my virgin media 02. I’ve told god knows how many advisors this and no one is helping. I’m getting tempted to cancel and go back to sky

@virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media for two weeks and haven’t been able to log into my account, I’ve spoken to so many advisors who tell me to wait anywhere between 24-72 hours and try again. Terrible costumer service so far, no one seems to have a clue what they’re doing.
