Account Collections Issue

The exact same thing happened to me. At first, I ignored the phone calls and emails from General Credit Services because I thought they were a scam. However, after chatting with a Telus agent, I was told that I did, in fact, have an outstanding balance. They advised me to contact the collection agency.

When I reached out to General Credit Services, I explained that my last bill was $0 and that the account cancellation fee was charged 1.5 years after I had canceled my service with Telus. I also mentioned that I had never received any emails or mail regarding this bill. They told me I had to contact Telus to get the issue updated.

I then spoke with Telus again and requested to speak with a manager. The manager called me back and promised to investigate the matter. Eventually, I was informed that I didn’t need to pay and that Telus had emailed the collection agency. However, I still kept receiving emails from the collection company, as they claimed they hadn’t received any updates from Telus.

Fortunately, my credit record has not been affected so far.
