Waiting on a refund

    I have been waiting on a refund of overpayment for months. I switched broadband and tv supplier about this time LAST YEAR. My final bill showed that I had overpaid. 

    I have contacted the company several times, and requested payment. Every time I get told that it's "strange", and they'll make sure the cheque is with me as soon as possible. The last time I was in touch was 22nd June, and was told I would definitely get it this time, but that it might take "up to" four weeks to get to me. Well, four weeks have long been and gone. 

    Can someone please look into this? I will PM my details to a representative.

    So I got a reply to say that there was no update yet. This is not exactly helpful. I got an email asking me to do a survey on how helpful my contact with eir had been. Fortunately and predictably, the link didn't work!

    Tankie the best course of action here is to email comreg. They are the regulator and they will deal eir on your behalf.

    You will just need to send comreg the one email with the details of your issue and a few days later eir will deal with your issue.

    In my experience its a waste of your time going through eirs customer service. The comreg route will save you the hassle and is much easier.

    Email is consumerline at comreg dot ie

    If everyone went to comreg after eir neglected to deal with their issues Im sure they would be forced to improve their customer service.

    It should be a sticky post at the top of this forum! It would save a lot of customers a lot of frustration im sure

    Thanks. I'll give them another few days, as I've had PM's from the reps on here who appear to be chasing it up. But you're probably right about it being the most efficient way of doing it.
