Account closing – EIR failure to do same per its commitments

09-01-2018 11:31am#1Hi,
time to resort to the online forum
please see below the history of cancelling my account to which is not yet completed according to your most recent text, and despite failed commitments from your staff to address the matter and to contact me which has not been done and close the account. This is now going on for over 3 months and your credit control department is still issuing demands for monies.
I am extremely frustrated that I cannot contact your support staff now on any of the methods you tell me to in the constant emails and texts for outstanding monies and that at all times apart from one email from canwehelp@eir.ie no contact has been made to me by your business apart from automated demands for payment. I have phoned and emailed a number of times, even written to your head office and no one from Eir can be bothered to pick up the phone or even drop an email to me. I suppose the debt collectors will have no problem doing that??
If Eir do not wish to respond with bills/statements as they have promised can I please have a number where I can contact someone, just one person, who knows what they are doing with regard to the original correspondence sent to me regarding the contract change?
I will supply my contact/account details if I receive a response to this
Mark
