Eircom summons

Signpost

Background. I was in a house last year where I set up an eircom line. I had it about 9 month when I moved out of the house and in my stupidity forgot to cancel the account. Never thought anymore about it till my ex landlord rang me and said that a summons had come to the house today for an unpaid bill of €145. I cannot contact eircom till the morning when I will pay off this but what will happen then? Can they revoke the summons or what is the best route I should take?

Its only a civil matter so it should go away once paid...

I'd be amazed if eircom brought you to court for €145 tbh.

correct or a family member / next of kin only. your landlord should not have accepted it nor should had it have been handed to him in the first place.

first off what you will need to do before anything else is meet up with the landlord and see whats on the summons

tbh

it's probably not a summons, but a letter that says "this is what the summons will look like if you don't pay soon".
