    Hi,

    I cancelled my eir contract for broadband on the 1st of October. I have an email confirming that you will terminate my contract on the 31st and that broadband will be switched off two days earlier.

    I subsequently cancelled my direct debit.

    On 31st I got an email from Eir saying that "[font=GT-Walsheim-Regular, Arial, "Trebuchet MS", "Verdana sans-serif"]We are sorry to hear that you are leaving us. We constantly review our products and offers to bring you the best service and value we can. We would be happy to welcome you back any time.[/font]

    [font=GT-Walsheim-Regular, Arial, "Trebuchet MS", "Verdana sans-serif"]We confirm that your [/font][font=GT-Walsheim-Regular, Arial, "Trebuchet MS", "Verdana sans-serif"]eir[/font][font=GT-Walsheim-Regular, Arial, "Trebuchet MS", "Verdana sans-serif"] bundle will be cancelled 30 days from the date of this notification.[/font]"

    And then today 1st I got a bill for €71.44 which is for rental to 25th of November - way past the 31st of october. And a very hefty direct debit failure charge levied by you of 18.44! 

    Why? I'm not paying for service I have cancelled.

    Regards

    Hi Kyle,
    Thanks for coming back. I eventually got through to customer care after 50 mins hold time. The customer care rep was excellent. He sorted out the whole mess and gave me certainty on actual final bill.

    But can I say, eir have a complicated cancellation process that causes stress and anger on customers that you will hope to win back someday and needless, wasted cost for eir in creating extra load on customer care. Customer care should be focused on helping your actual customers, not providing an unnecessary service to ex customer like me and others on boards.

    I'm glad to hear this, I'll pass this onto Kyle. 

    I understand your frustration with this, I'll be sure to pass this feedback onto the relevant team. 

    Thanks
