How come Telus is the only telco that puts a strike on your credit rating for a late or missed payment? Bell and Rogers don't do that and actually works with the customer instead of running to punish them.

I've had accounts for Fido, Rogers, and Bell for over 20 years now. None of them put strikes on customer accounts, for being one or two days late on their payment. It's the reason I'm asking the question. What's happened to Telus to make them think attacking a loyal customer's credit rating is considered alright? Based on my experience, this behavior is exclusive to Telus only and certainly not what other companies do.

The best way to avoid this, would be to not miss payments, always pay in full, and pay your bill at least a few days before the due date.
