FUP cap removed, but charged €100 for excessive usage.
-
23-01-2019 1:47pm#1My family went over the 1TB cap for December seeing as how I was assured twice that the 1TB cap had been removed from our account. But our bill for December that just came in shows €100.00 "Excess broadband usage" charge as if the FUP cap has not been removed.
I entered a new 12 month contract package for the sole reason of removing the 1TB FUP cap as I was assured it would be removed.
My 1st call to eir the sales rep confirmed the FUP cap had been removed from account. I made a 2nd call to eir 5 days later to double check, different sales rep, again confirmed that the FUP cap had been removed from our account.
A family member went into an Eir store today to try and get it sorted but staff said the 1TB FUP cap cannot be removed and there is no broadband package they offer without the 1TB fair usage policy cap.
I've already spent over 10 hours on hold calling eir twice at the end of November for what I thought was getting the FUP cap removed. Do I need put aside another for another 5 hour phone call just to get this fixed?
Can an eir representative please advise me how to get this excessive broadband usage charge removed from my bill, and whether or not it is actually even possible to remove the FUP from eir broadband? Thank you.0

Hi kellie, what is required to have the FUP removed. Last time I rang 1902. I was told they couldn't remove it and that IF I want it I would have to sign up to new contract, which would mean breaking my current contract which would incur a Fine for early termination.eir: Kellie wrote: »

UPDATE: PROBLEM STILL NOT RESOLVED. NOW WITH ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS.
- CHARGED FOR EXCESS BROADBAND USAGE FOR THE 2ND TIME DESPITE BEING TOLD TWICE THE FUP CAP HAD BEEN REMOVED IN DECEMBER 2018 AND TOLD ONCE AGAIN IN JANUARY 2019.
- MY EIR BUNDLE IS NOW INCORRECT AND I'VE BEEN MOVED TO THE WRONG LANDLINE PACKAGE AND CHARGED EXCESS CHARGES. DID NOT REQUEST LANDLINE PACKAGE TO BE CHANGED, AT NO POINT WAS TOLD PACKAGE WAS CHANGED.
As in my original post, we first removed the fair usage policy cap at start of December but received a 100 euro excess charge in Jan, so we contacted Kellie here last month, very polite and helpful, again assured us the 1TB FUP cap had been removed.
Our February bill has come in and unfortunately there is yet ANOTHER excess broadband charge this month for 37 euro, so the FUP cap is still active, and also I'm seeing additional excess charges and errors.
Here are the billing errors I am seeing this month:- 37.53 euro in "Total excess broadband charges" despite being assured 3 times now the FUP cap has been removed.
- 3.72 euro in "Part Period charges and credits/Service charges" for a strange landline number beginning with "3333" that isn't our landline number? (absolutely no idea what these charges are for, not renting any parts and my bill never has a service charges section any prior months.)
- 9.87 euro in "local off-peak landline calls" charges (We are currently on the "eir Talk Mobile World" package, but bill this month says the landline package is "eir Talk Off-Peak 2018", and these are charges for off peak calls. We never at any point requested to be moved to this landline package and at no point were informed we had been moved, I can only assume trying to remove the FUP last month our package got messed up?)
Any help from an Eir rep in resolving these matters would be greatly appreciated, thanks.0 -

If the current Eir customer service situation was a comedy on Netflix people would turn it off as not being funny and totally unbelievable.0
