    Without going into too much detail my Grandmother of 76 was sold a broadband package despite the fact the woman doesn't even know how to turn on a computer. The practice of this is nothing short of disgraceful. She returned the modem immediately and has since received bills for broadband and now received a bill of 230euro for cancellation.

    I would like to know what address both e-mail and a physical address I could forward my complaint to?

    Ah sure 76 is nothing, here they are doing the same thing to an 83 year old.

    A nice pattern you have going here Eircom. You realise some of your agents are scum of the earth, right?

    Hi Alan,

    I tried PM'ing you but don't seem to be getting a response. 

    This is issue is still occurring with Eircom looking for €300 off my Nan for the cancellation of the broadband that she didn't want in the first place.

    I know it came as a surprise to you when I contacted you during the summer to say it still had not been sorted as you had put it through to cancel the charges eircom applied. 

    It's been 7 months now and the issue is still ongoing and now my Nan has received a letter stating they will cut her off if she does not pay the outstanding bill of approx €300.

    She has continued to pay her regular bill of around €40 as well.

    Could you let me know asap if this issue can be resolved soon as it has gone on for 7 months now.

    Jonathan.

    Hi Alan,

    Her bill is still showing €271.32 outstanding from the broadband so it still hasn't been taken off her account.
