Negative bill amount after closing account

    Hi,

    I closed my account with Eir last Feb and after many confusing contacts with customer support telling me I owed various amounts, then telling me I didnt owe anything, then getting debt collectors messages to back to not owning anything - I'm still  getting "bills" almost 6 months later but now for a negative amount - Your July bill amount is € -25.86

    As the account is closed I no longer have access to the Eir online system so I cant actually see any real details.

    Can you tell me how to resolve this once and for all please ?  Surely if Eir owe me money it should just get credited back to my account where the direct debits where coming from or worst case send me a cheque - you have my address :-)

    Thanks!

    Ha! I have the same.
    A -€3 bill sent every single month and a -€21 bill for another account.
    Was thinking Eir now owes me €24/month for the last 16 months - woo hoo :D
    Rediculous really.

    Not quite sure why issuing a refund doesnt just happen automatically if the account closes in credit as you have all the details already including my address.

    Im in the same boat, every month i get a bill for a closed account with a negative balance.

    But i have a mobile/efibre bundle why cant the balance be put against this?

    I ve been told a cheque would be sent out but that was months ago.
