    This is absolutely ridiculous.
    On April 10th I contacted the number as provided below and after finally getting through I was informed by the individual they could not handle the case.
    Subsequently he rang back after he consulted with accounts team, that in fact he could handle the case and guaranteed me that it would be rectified.
    However this has not be rectified.
    Now I have been issued with another bill to the tune of

    Total amount due €288.47
    and it includes another
    Invalid payment fee 11 Apr 14 €15.00
    Why is this not sorted out?

    I want this bill payed immediately ( and the 3x15e invalid payment fees credited to my account)

                 A. Hi,
           
            My account is: 78070660
           
                  
           
            In my recent bills, invalid payment fees have been applied to my bill.
            There have been 2 occasions, costing 15e each.
           
            I provided details of new bank account back in late January, but these
            must not have been applied.
            Furthermore I have not been been contacted by eircom to inform me that
            collection was invalid.
           
            Therefore I feel that I should not be charged these fees.
           
            As of today, I have re submitted the new account details on line again
            on the understanding that these will be applied.
           
            Please review this case and consider deduction of the "invalid payment
            fee" for bills issued on:
            27 February 2014
            28 March 2014
           
            As mentioned above, I provided the new bank details back in January but
            these have not been applied/used by eircom.
           
            I look forward to hearing from you.
           
            Regards,
            ~xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

    Hi bpm78

    There have been a number of issues created by the recent change to the SEPA payment method. This is of course through no fault of your own,
    I can assure you that all invalid payment fees will be refunded and apologise for the inconvenience this has caused you.

    I can confirm that these issues will need to be raised and investigated by the specific helpline eircom have opened. I understand that calling can be inconvenient but a call to free phone 1800 303 432 will be required.

    Thanks
    Al

    After ringing the SEPA line again they have informed me that this is not a SEPA problem now.
    Was handed over to customer care and they 'supposedly' arranged a call from Accounts which was to be done on wednesday evening or Thursday. Its Friday afternoon now and still no call and this is still not rectified.

    Hi bpm78

    I'm sorry to hear this, would you like to PM me your account details and I'll look in to what's causing the delays in getting a call back on this?

    Thanks

    Hi bpm78

    I'm very sorry to hear you have not receive a call back on this yet, I had requested account to contact you however I see from notes on your account this never materialised.

    I see the latest notes reflect a request from you for eircom to confirm your bank details that the direct debit is set up on. I have now requested information on this from our direct debit section and await clarification. In the meantime could you please PM me a mobile contact number for you in the case that I need to call you?

    Thanks

    any update on this?

    been waiting so long I've had to ring customer care, they put me onto direct debit team where the call was dropped.

    now (against my will) I have went thru the process again and I have been waiting for the direct debit team ( for 10 minutes already )

    this is a complete joke at this stage.

    again all I want to do is pay my bill and I have to chase eircom to do this.....

  • Registered Users Posts: 44 bpm78


    this is some joke anyway.

    After 30 mins of hopping from post to pillar, guess who I didnt get thru to........yes, the direct debit team,
    got thru to almost everyone else though.

    the last person gave me a direct number - <snip> for direct debit team
    guess what, no one answered that......


    Alan, or one of the reps here. can you get someone to ring me on this immediately.

    Looks like this has failed to be collected again?
    I have confirmed all is ok on my bank side.

    can you confirm if this really has been rectified on eircom side.
    I really cant afford to be letting this bill grow out of control.

    I had this issue for the last 3 months (€15 for unpaid DD) even though I paid my bills before the DD date.. Fortunately I got sick of it last month and paid over the phone (minus the €15).. But the agent I spoke too was rude and put all the blame on me and made it seem like he was doing me a favour dropping the €15 fee.. Joke.

    I never got my €30 back though (or even credited), even though the bills were paid on time..

    My bill is due in any day now and I swear if there is a late fee on it again I'm going to crack..

    Eircoms really pushing their luck with me.. Worst company ever.

    Hi bpm

    I can confirm that the balance has not been collected again (10th of June) - I am currently investigating why this is happening and at the moment I'm waiting for clarification from the direct debit team. I can assure you that you will be refunded any inappropriate charges this may incur. As soon as I have an update I will be back in touch with you right away.

    Thanks
    Al


  • Registered Users Posts: 44 bpm78


    Alan.

    I need to get an update on this as the bill is becoming unmanageable and its really needs to be rectified.

    It is simply untenable to have this situation for this length of time.

    While I understand you are not directly responsible, can you please get the direct debit  team to contact me directly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 242 ✭✭eircom: Colm


    Hi bpm78

    I tried to contact you by Phone today as I am having difficulty following this thread as you have been dealing mainly with Al who unfortunately is out of the office today and tomorrow. Could you PM me a mobile contact no and I will try to contact you on that tomorrow.

    What I will be looking to do when i call you is confirm the BIK and IBAN and I will then doublecheck these details are correct with our Direct Debit section.

    thanks
    Colm
