MyTELUS app showing wrong "Primary" name and number after EPP setup

Hi everyone,

I just set up a brand new EPP plan with TELUS, but I’m running into a really annoying issue. Even though the account is entirely in my name, the MyTELUS app header shows my dad’s phone number under my name. When I tap that top bar to view accounts, his name and number show up there as well, making it look like he is the primary owner.

I’ve spent the day being bounced around. Tech support told me that my dad's number is the main line, but they couldn't help because it's an EPP plan and to call that department instead. When I finally reached EPP support, they insisted my line is definitely the main one and that the app is just "showing it differently."

I find that hard to believe. I want my own info to show up at the top of my own account. What's weird is that in the "Plans" section of the app, both of our names and numbers are assigned perfectly. It’s literally just the main dashboard and the account selector that are messed up. Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there actually a way to fix the primary display number, or am I stuck with this glitch?

      Unfortunately not, I was told a ticket was created but I never heard anything back. Support hasn't really been able to help me either. I was advised that I am primary as well, but then another support member told me that the other phone number is the primary and they will receive important communications to that phone number. Still waiting to see if I hear anything back
