Eircom accused of charging customers for unused phones
22/05/2006 - 13:20:30Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness has accused eircom of charging customers for phones that they no longer use.
Mr McGuinness said today that he had seen a bill recently in which a customer was charged for hiring an eircom telephone that had not been used for many years.
He said he believed this was not an isolated incident and many more customers may be still be paying €25 annually for phones they had replaced years ago.
Mr McGuinness has compared the situation of the AIB overcharging scandal and is calling on the company to investigate these equipment charges and make sure they are eliminated.
He has vowed to raise the matter with the Oireachtas communications committee if an investigation is not forthcoming.
