Cancellation of Eir service - told I'll be charged.
Options
-
11-12-2017 12:23pmHi,
My Eir contract expires on January 12th so I just rang Eir to give my 30 days notice. The service rep told me that if I cancel today, my service will be stopped from today and I'll still pay up to Jan 12th. I explained that I am giving notice of cancellation, not actually cancelling today. They said I'm still in contract if I cancel today. They just didn't get it.
I then asked how I cancel and was told I'll have to wait till January 12th and then cancel, at which point I need to give 30 days notice (i.e pay for 19 months) !
So I asked how do I cancel an 18 month contract and only pay for 18 months (but still get 18 months service) and was told I can't.
Surely this is wrong ??
I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told there was none available. Eventually she said "hang on and I'll check" and I was left on hold for 5 minutes and then the call was disconnected.
Can you please clarify how I can cancel my contract on it's termination date, i.e the 12th January, and still get my service until that date ??0

Following as I'll be doing exactly the same thing next month. My contract is up in Feb so I'll be cancelling it with 30 days notice in January.
I don't want any outage time between the two days and want to start with a new provider from the last day of the 18 month contract.
It sounds perfectly sensible, why can't Eir do that?0 -

Maybe instead of scaring them off with the C word, tell them you wish to switch to prepaid at the end of the 18 months.0

My overall experience or trying to switch, and then leave when they furstrated switching is that it is an inept strategy to force loyalty. Took months to achieve, but I did espcape in the end0 -

Thanks for getting in touch with us.
I can confirm this information is incorrect, you can contact the customer care team on 1901 and they will process a 30 day cancellation for you. It will then close down on the 12th of January.
I'll be sure to pass this feedback on as this is not the level of service we wish to provide.
Apologies for the wrong information being given to you, I understand your frustrations here.
Thanks

I then mentioned the terms online and I used the term "Switching" and then she said - switching is different to cancelling - I asked how it was different in that I was still cancelling my service with Eir and she could not give me a reasonable answer. I ended up asking her name so as to make sure I never spoke to her again.
Unreal.
Anyhow - I used your online form here https://www.eir.ie/switchingForm.jsp
