Returned Equipment - still sent to Collections
In March I had cancelled my internet service with Telus as I was switching providers. As soon as my new internet was installed, I returned the telus equipment right away via Canada Post.
As this was sent back so long ago, I have since discarded the receipt Canada Post gave me. I assumed everything was fine, as Telus never contacted me regarding a balance and when I logged into my account, it said there were no accounts assigned... no mention of a balance.
Last week, I happened to sign into my CreditKarma and noticed I had been sent to collections for a $115 balance as of this month. At no point was there ever anything in my mail, email, or voicemails left regarding said balance from Telus. I haven't even heard from said collections company?!
I called Telus right away, they refused to help me as I didn't have the tracking slip anymore. I have since disputed with TransUnion and filed a complaint with CCTS. I asked Canada Post if there was any way to recall the proof of me sending it - they said no.
Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions on other avenues I might try to have this corrected? It's damaged my credit significantly, so this is super disappointing.
Is it possible this can be corrected?

Ccts resolution rep reached out to me yesterday and was able to determine it was sent and has since corrected the issue. Thanks for the response
