    Signed up for Eircoms Chatter Bundle in March of 2011 offer at the time was €41.99 plus call charges made outside of bundle this discount was for the first 6 months of the offer and thereafter it would be €46.00. But i for some reason did not receive the discount every month. I rang 1901 and received a credit for the first 2 months but after that every agent i spoke with told me they would sort the problem but each month they did not. Even spoke with a Supervisor in July who told me he would sort the problem but he didn't. Eventually in Sept 2011 I just gave up I now ring an Eircom agent as I want to get rid of the land line altogether only to be told that there is a penalty to break my contract. But as far as I can gather i had been put into a new contract each time i complained which didnt solve the original problem and has now only elongated my original contract by 6 months. The agent I dealt with yesterday asked which supervisor i spoke with in July to which i gave him the name and then needed to know in what call centre he was located. As i did not interrogate the Supervisor i spoke with at the time i asked to be transferred to a supervisor to which he replied "what would i want to do that for". Anyways the long and the short of this is how do i now get out of a contract without penalty as i didnt sign up for an extra 6 months and is my next should my next port of call be Comreg.

    Thanks, Mark

    It cannot have been extended without your agreement and therefore there is a record. Ask for the record ...eg a recording of the call.

    Thanks



    €4.13 by 6 = €24.78

    This will show up as a one off credit on your next bill.

    Mark I rang eircom today to cancel my eircom landline as phone is rarely used and only used for broadband service. I was told I cannon get out if the contract until September I would be greatful if you would let me know who to contact in writing to cancel this subscription as the bundle contract was extended without my consent and I now wish to get out of this. I was told by agent on 1901 to get back to you as there was nothing they could do. I will pm my details. Thanks

    Hi amber2 ,

    Thanks for letting me know. I will track the cancellation request to insure it goes through ok as per the process I advised previously.

    Then if you can get back to me when you receive the final bill.

    Thanks, Mark

    Hi Amber,

    The broadband was cancelled on the account through cancellations on the 10/08/12. The order for cancelling the line account was issued today 14/08/12.

    So the final bill will be issued in a few weeks. So ignore (don't pay that bill until you do get the final bill.

    And just let me know when you receive it.

    Thanks, Mark
