Chat Messaging Query

I have a problem when I sign on to my account and use TalkTalk Chat. 
 
When I post a message on TalkTalk Chat it displays a different name to my name. 
 
My daughter in law borrowed my laptop to contact TalkTalk about an upgrade as her computer was faulty.  Ever since, when I use Chat under my log-in, her name appears as the person posting messages.   
 
At the TalkTalk end the agent can see it's me from my log-in but It causes confusion every time I want to contact TalkTalk by Chat which is my preferred method of communication.  I have to tell the agents it is me who is on Chat and not my daughter-in-law.
 
When I contacted TalkTalk I was told the problem couldn't be fixed.  I was then told to use the Chat without logging on then try again by logging in with my sign on.  This didn't work.  .  
 
Does anyone know what the problem is and what needs to be done to get it fixed?
 
Thanks.

I don't really want to use another browser and clearing cookies cache didn't work either.

No I haven't thanks.  Only device I could try is my phone but I find it awkward  to use my phone for Chat and prefer my laptop which is easier for typing.  I don't understand why this can't be fixed by TalkTalk.  Would have thought when you end a conversation you would start afresh when you log-in.  I've contacted TalkTalk about this problem and hope a solution can be found.

Hi @Fraser07 have you tried either a different browser or clearing the cookies cache on your preferred browser?

I don't work here and all my opinions are my own.
