Parental Controls Blocking Websites & Unable to Turn Off

I switched on my BT parental control a couple of days ago and it’s been a nightmare since then, I spent nearly half my work day speaking to BT, I was transferred from one department to the other as none of the people I spoke with could help resolve the issue with the parental control.

Since switching the parental control on unable to access certain websites which are being blocked. I am advised to log in to my account to over-ride this but I get this message:

 

You are not authorised to manage this Parental Controls service, please contact the account holder.

 

I log into MyBT and it shows me as the account holder, and my Parental Controls all off - BT have confirmed I am the only account name associated with the account.

 

These websites are blocked across all my deviced: PC, laptop, iPad and phone.

 

I see this issue has been reported and dealt with previously in the community so hopefully someone can come to my rescue as it’s quite frustrating!

Yes I have. As I said in my text I have spoken to BT support team both technical and all the others I was passed on to. No solution what so ever.
