Invalid Collection Claim from ARM/Telus

Hi TELUS_Support,

I'm a former Telus customer - I terminated my home services contract in August 2025 and moved out of the country. At the time of termination, I settled my final bill via the direct debit Telus had on file, and I received no further communication from Telus after that indicating any outstanding balance (Telus still have my email on file, so I'm easy to reach if that had been required).

On Wednesday (20th August) I received an email out of the blue from ARM Collection Agency claiming I owe approximately $146 CAD with no explanation of where these charges have come from. From looking at other forum posts, this seems to be a slightly disturbing pattern. 

Since I no longer have a Canadian phone number and I'm several time zones away, this forum is the ONLY way I have to reach someone (which in itself is ridiculous). Could someone from the team please review my account history and confirm my billing history and that this referral to collections was made in error? I'll send account details by private message as requested.
