Telus hardware equipment balance sent to collections
Hello TELUS team and Community, I am writing regarding an urgent issue with an unreturned equipment charge that was erroneously sent to collections. The equipment in question was already returned and confirmed delivered via courier. Despite the delivery being completed, an unreturned hardware fee was generated and routed to an external collection agency, resulting in a sudden, severe drop on my credit bureau report. And I wasn’t contacted or notified from Telus or through any external agency related to collections. Before I left the Telus service I just confirmed with the agent that balance is zero and there’s nothing on my end to pay back. Literally credit score got destroyed so badly, and from 780 to 680 due to this dispute. Because the hardware was sent back, this balance is erroneous. Could a Telus moderator please reach out via private message to review my account? I need Telus to: Verify delivery using my courier tracking and equipment serial numbers. Formally recall the account from collections. I have full courier delivery receipts and tracking documentation ready to share securely. can some please guide me if there were in this situation. Thank you.
Can't purchase a device
I was with Koodo for 13 years. Bell offered a better plan, so I called loyalty and they matched it but switched us to Telus. Since the switch, we cannot order a device (we did BYOD). It just says the order cannot be made online and to call. And when I called, they told us something about not being able to do a credit check since we were only with Telus a few months, which is nonsense to begin with and besides, our credit is sparkling. It's been over 6 months now and still no change. To top it off, we get a call about offers on new devices. I explain to the guy the situation we're in and he checked and confirmed he couldn't do anything for us. Just absolute amateur hour. We'd have already switched to Bell but their prices when I checked were horrendous. Has anyone else been stuck in this situation?
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.
Before You Close Your TELUS Account, Read This
I've had ongoing issues with TELUS since last summer when I tried to cancel my TV services, and this latest situation feels like a continuation of the same problems. I understand that contracts have terms and conditions, and I accept responsibility for any fees that resulted from not cancelling on the exact date required. My concern is how difficult and confusing the process became. Once my account was closed, I no longer had access to my billing information. I was told that notifications had been sent by email, but some of those emails went to my junk folder. I had also moved before the account was officially closed, so I didn't receive any mailed notices. I spent more than two hours on the phone and was transferred five times. I received conflicting information from both TELUS and the collection agency. One TELUS representative told me that nothing could be done because the account had already been sent to collections. Another representative created a ticket and told me to wait 8–10 days for a review. The collection agency referred me back to TELUS, while TELUS said they couldn't access my closed account. Even after I paid the collection agency to protect my credit, I was told that TELUS couldn't reverse any charges, including equipment-related fees. My advice to anyone closing a TELUS account is to follow up carefully, check your email regularly (including your junk folder), confirm that all equipment has been returned, and make sure there are no outstanding balances. Has anyone else experienced something similar?Be aware and get everything in writing related to Telus offers
4 months ago I cancelled my existing Optik TV and bonded internet 150 service and upgraded to Telus Pure Fibre 3G internet. At the the same time I had a Shaw/Rogers 1G service that was costing $75.00 per month and the contract was ending. I chose not to renew the Rogers and go with Telus based on the newly place fibre in my neighbourhood. After a lot of time on the phone I was transferred to L&R which provided a great offer for Telus fibre. I was quoted 82.50/month. I have no idea if that included gst or not. The first bill was confusing with all the old service credits etc. My issue is that my bill is now 121.80/month, not what I was quoted. It looks like it is 95/month but all of a sudden I'm paying $7.00/month for each email address I have (3 in total). Speaking to customer service, they tell me that the emails cost that amount and were created when I switched to Pure fibre services. I have the option of cancelling them to save the 21.00. I have never in the past had to pay for email address and have been using these Telus email accounts since 2009. I cannot lose them as all email communications are tied to them. No mention of the additional costs where ever disclosed to me. Almost $40/month more then I was told. Spoke with customer service and was transferred again to L&R. Finally gave up waiting on hold and came here.
Help! I got scammed and Telus refuses to cancel my accounts.
I need the support with my business mobility and business Wi-Fi accounts. They have been created with my old email which was compromise. I have contacted Telus multiple times since September 2025. I have made numerous disputes and received no resolutions. I was told that I would be assigned a case manager but haven't had one yet. I am not receiving any follow-ups. I would like my accounts canceled as soon as possible. I am very frustrated with Telus and their customer service considering this is a case related to identity theft with an assigned police report. I strongly considering pursuing legal action against Telus.
Services Transfer Error
Hello! Just at a loss and extremely frustrated - hopefully I can get some help or clarification from anyone that's been through this. In Jan 2026 I transferred home services from my name to my grandmother. I was on a three-way call, a Telus technician at my grandmother's home called Telus on her behalf, and they called me to verify my info and transfer of all services from me to her. In January I was told that I was no longer associated with her account. In Jun 2026, I start receiving phone calls from a debt collection agency. Apparently my grandmother (and her new caretaker) did not pay her bills (she was in/out of hospital). Telus chose to bill me instead of my grandmother for reasons unknown to me. After numerous calls, Telus finally tells me Jun 30 2026 that the error was on their end, they see the transfer of services, and shouldn't have billed me. They say I'll receive a callback Jul 04 2026. I don't. So I can in again today Jul 08 2026 - now I'm being told there is NO transfer of services on their end and the account remained in my name therefore they could continue to bill me. I am so confused. The debt being sent to collections dropped my credit score during a time that my husband and I are trying to purchase a home. I'm so frustrated. Short of a CCTS complaint, is there anything else I can do besides calling in over and over to get this rectified?
Unable to register account
Hello! I signed up for internet on June 20th, and had the installer come and hook up the internet yesterday (July 3rd). The internet and TV all work excellent, but I am unable to log-in or register for MyTelus. I understand that that is where I will see my bill, so I'm rather anxious to get in there! When attempting to register my account, I am able to get all the way to creating a password and setting up my account profile, presumably the last step, but when I try to continue I am given a "Sorry, something went wrong, try again later." I have tried both on my phone and laptop (I've deleted and reinstalled the app, and on my computer I have tried a separate browser, and using a private tab). No dice! Do I just need to be more patient? I am wanting access to one, familiarize myself with the system, and also so I can personalize my OPTIK TV channels. Thank you!Account Number for Payment
I cancelled my internet several months ago. I want to make a payment through my bank, but it requires a 10 digit account number and the only one I have is 9 digits. I no longer have access to the home services account and the AI chat is useless. Does anyone have a solution?
