Collections Notice with No Information
I have been receiving collections notices from a company called Debt Collections Agency (DCA) for a Telus Wireline account that I don't recall ever having. They are threatening to contact me at my place of employment if I don't pay the outstanding balance. I researched this situation online, and found that there are a number of scam reports about this company doing the very same thing to other customers. When I contacted Telus customer service, the representative told me that according to his files, he showed that I do have an outstanding balance for a Telus Wireline account, but could give me no information about it, and indicated the name of a completely different collections agency (General Credit Services) that was managing the collection. I have attempted to reach out to GCA as well to get information, as this all seems very suspicious. I find it unacceptable that I received no notice from Telus that I had an outstanding amount owed, and the first I hear about this account that I didn't know that I had is coming from a collections agency.

I just spoke to General Credit Services and apparently the outstanding notice is for a property that we sold almost 2 years ago. I find it unacceptable that the first that I have heard about an outstanding balance is through a collections agency. I have paid the outstanding invoice, and would like to understand when this will be removed from my otherwise spotless credit report.

That'd be a question for the agency itself. At this point all inquiries would need to be handled by them.
