Late bill payments and charges
Missed a payment? Let's look at what happens when your bill is overdue and how you can get your service back if it gets suspended
Late payments and charges for TV, Broadband or Home Phone
All of our products and services require payment within 14 days from the bill's issue date. You can find the issue date at the top of your bill. Not paying your bill on time can affect your service, so it's essential you try and get it paid as soon as you can. Be sure to let us know when you have paid using our online form.
If we've had to suspend your services, the quickest way to get them back is to phone us on freephone 1908, and pay via the automated system. Your services will be reactivated automatically within fifteen minutes of the full payment being received on normal working days, but it can take longer over bank holidays.
Important note:
A reactivation fee of €5 will be applied to your next bill if we have had to restore your services.
Fees you might see on your bill after a late payment
- Late Payment Fee
If you don't pay you bill on time a 'Late Fee' of €12.50 will be added to the account balance, and we reserve the right to charge this fee on any overdue amounts.
We know there are sometimes extenuating circumstances. That’s why this fee won’t be charged until we have sent a notification, and given you an opportunity to rectify the situation before the fee is finalised. - Unpaid Direct Debit Fee
If your Direct Debit payment is returned as unpaid by the bank, a charge of €10 is automatically applied to your bill.
