Returning customer

I have been a customer for over 15 years, but had to temporarily suspend my account to email only whilst I rented a property that had virgin media connected. I was pleased to find that this could be done at no cost, so left things open with a credit balance to reuse later.
I rang to re-enable my account a few weeks ago, to be told that wasn’t possible and I’d need a new ID and account as email only accounts can’t be re-enabled. I find that unbelievably poor though as an answer. But I proceeded to start again and booked for an engineer to visit after I moved in this week.
No one turns up and when I call am told that my order from a couple of weeks ago was cancelled ??????
No plausible explanation is offered and this is despite getting those confusing help desk ticket updates saying My order was being processed.
Can I ask for someone to please get this sorted for me and help to get an explanation as to why this has failed so badly.
Thanks.

Note: I have had to post this using a a new ID as I can’t seem to login with my previous forum account JOC.

Re: Returning customer

What is the usual wait for a new fibre account to be set up?

Re: Returning customer

I called customer services again to find that my fibre order has been rejected a second time and has now to be placed manually a third time......... what kind of process is this, why should I have to keep chasing up and requesting an order redone when plusnet’s systems can’t flag to someone that there is a problem???!
I thought virgin media were bad, but this is becoming a joke, but it’s not funny as I need to be connected for work and 3 weeks is a disgracefully long time to wait just for my order to be successfully placed.
