CMOS

I owe Electric Ireland some money, I received a text message today asking me to phone a company called 'CMOS' urgently quoting a ref no. The phone no. checks out as being legit, I paid €100 to Electric Ireland online but it hasn't reflected on the site yet, even after a few hours. Can EI refuse to accept a payment directly…

It looks like they're using RVM tech to leave voicemails also, is this legal in Ireland?

They appear to be little more than a debt collection agency. Do not engage with them.
Ring Electric Ireland and sort it with them.
Get them to set up a payment plan and try your best to stick to it.
