Why is my BT account inactive?

The last 2 weeks my BT account has been "inactive". I can not access my last April bill or anything else. I have called Customer services on 5 occasions; they say it's all due to a technical problem but they have not solve it yet. I can not understand how out of the blue my BT account is not working properly. I never had any problem. Can anybody in the same situation give me some advice? Your help is much appreciated.

Re: Why is my BT account inactive?

there are account access problems as you can see from number of forum posts on subject and it is taking BT what seems forever to sort out problem.  so it is not just your account I and many others have same problem

Re: Why is my BT account inactive?

Thank you for your post. Hopefully, since there are so many of us who can not access our My BT account, they will realise there is a big problem and they will do something about it. After all we are BT customers and we deserve good support and service.

Some communication on the issue would be good as well as I'm sure many customers are wasting time contacting them. Nothing yet and it has been the same for over 2 weeks now.

@cedge  I wouldn’t hold your breath on BT sorting the problem out any time soon. The 2FA change is approaching almost 3 weeks now I believe? and despite BT being advised about their own web page on the matter requiring amendment, it still hasn’t been done.

If you are using a web browser to access your MyBT try clearing the history and cookies from the browser's settings.

Did you use the "Clear from all time". Some browsers default to a much shorter time?
