Collections
I received an alert from Credit Karma that a new activity occurred on August 18, 2022. Upon review, I noted that Met Credit is a collection company that has added a collection to my credit bureau...
If your account was closed in 2017 and TELUS waited until Aug 2022 before they sent the account owing to a collection agency, this means you've had 5 years to pay it. Any company that gives you 5 years has been more than generous IMO.
$8975 is not a trivial amount to just "forget" to pay. It probably includes late penalties but the original bill still must have been substantial.
