Re: My BT Problems

@Leanne_T   It would be good if some progress could be made on this. I still cannot access my account.

In the end I gave up as I had wasted so much time on this with no resolution

Re: My BT Problems

Over the last few weeks, I have spent several hours on the phone with a very helpful guy from the Home Broadband Tech Team. Unfortunately however, he has still not been able to regain access to my account. He even tried to start my account again from scratch but it wouldn't recognise any of my details.

Twice he has 'escalated the issue to the next level' but still no fix has been found. He said that over a thousand customers are affected and he thinks it seems to be those with older accounts. If so, it's not a very good way of rewarding loyalty! He says he will ring me back in a few days and try again.

I find it really hard to believe that it is such a difficult issue to fix, particularly for a company that is supposed to be a leader in technology. In my view, whoever was responsible for the recent sign in update should be fixing the issue, not the BT Tech team who seem at a loss to know what to do.

This has now been going on for a month and there doesn't seem to be any urgency on BTs part to find a solution. It is very frustrating.

Re: My BT Problems

If it's older accounts, they must be very old ones. I've had my account over 50 years and haven't suffered the problem.

Re: My BT Problems

It’s obviously not affecting everyone with an old account then. Just passing on what I was told.

Re: My BT Problems

I'm sure when they say 'old account' they mean BTid, not actual BT telephony account. As I said earlier I've had my BTid account since working on the rollout of dial up broadband, so there won't be many BTids older than mine. I too am affected by this ridiculous lockout since being forced to change to using an email account during the recent 'upgrade' of the logon system. I can logon with my chosen email address and 2FA, but then it shows as 'inactive' instead of my account number and nothing loads up. Surely someone here can escalate this problem up the chain to the team that rolled out the changes and help a poor old BT pensioner?

Re: My BT Problems

In shock, finally got a text message from BT who have acknowledged the issue. Only took them 4 weeks.  Thanks Leanne.
