I ended my Telus services and account last June. But I received an email from a debt collections agency that I owe an outstanding charge on my account. I never received a bill from Telus with the amount the debt collection agency stated, and I payed the last bill I had from Telus in full before the account was canceled. If there was an actual charge left outstanding on my account why was I not notified? and if not, why did I get sent to a debt collections agency if I did not have an outstanding charge? I am very disappointed in the service quality of Telus, I shouldn't have my canceled account information sent to a collections agency without my notice of a bill.30Views0likes1CommentCollection Agency - Telus Account Error - can I please speak to a human???
Hi There, I have multiple accounts with Telus all of which are fully paid and up-to-date. A collections agency has been contacting me regarding a purported amount owing on a Telus account. I thought it was a scam since all my Telus accounts are fully paid up and have always been. Now it's showing up on my credit rating. After multiple attempts, I finally spoke to a Telus agent who was able to figure out that the Telus Account # that the collections agency is contacting me about appears to be an error (I have another Telus mobility account for the phone number at issue and it is fully paid and in good standing). However, because it is a pre-paid account, the agent said he was a mobility agent (not a pre-paid agent) and so he couldn't help me further. He then tried to transfer me to Telus pre-paid. First I was routed to a store representative, and they told me to call back to 611. I have done that, and I cannot get through to an actual person at Telus pre-paid because Telus' system keeps bumping me to an online assistant. Can someone please message me to get this sorted out.141Views0likes2CommentsI need help ASAP please
Yesterday I started the process of becoming a customer with Telus on the phone with a customer support agent. I was switching over from Public Mobile. When we got to the part of activating my service when confirming "Yes" to the text from Telus, I was instructed to restart my phone, and the agent told me she would call me back in 2 minutes. We got disconnected due to the service switch, and so I restarted my phone. Well 24 hours later I still don't have service, and the agent never made an attempt to contact me via email since we got disconnected. I've tried contacting support through VoIP services. I've tried the Telus chatbot, which only directs me to phone support. I've tried making a Telus account but I never get the email to register (although I was able to make an account for the online forums here). Can I please get some help with finishing setting up so I can have serbice? This has been an extremely frustrating and **********ty process.74Views0likes5CommentsTelus Westjet account linking issue - missing phone
When I try to link my Westjet account to Telus, I am redirected to Telus, sign in and at the time of needing to enter the security code, I cannot receive the code because it seems like Telus isn't pulling up my cell phone. I talked to Telus call center and they seem clueless. I have Telus home service and home security but my cell phone is shown in my online profile.72Views0likes4CommentsUrgent help
I became a TELUS customer in November after porting my mobile number from Bell. Unfortunately, my account has been suspended since the porting process, and the issue remains unresolved to this day. When I first contacted customer service, I was informed that the suspension was due to suspected fraudulent activity. I was told that once the issue was reviewed, I would receive a message or email with an update. After waiting several weeks without any communication, I contacted TELUS again and was advised to submit certain documents to [email protected]. I submitted all the requested documents during the first week of January. Since then, I have not received any confirmation, update, or follow-up regarding the status of my account or the documents I submitted. I have made multiple attempts to contact customer care, but each time I was transferred between representatives and eventually disconnected without any resolution. This experience has been extremely disappointing. While I understand that verification processes can take time, the lack of communication—especially after submitting the requested documents—is unacceptable. The suspension has disrupted my phone service, negatively impacted my credit score, and affected my ability to stay connected when I am away from Wi-Fi. This situation has caused significant stress and inconvenience. The issue remains unresolved and has been ongoing for approximately four months, from November to February.26Views0likes1CommentTelus keeps sending my account to collection agencies for a non-existent debt
I am posting here because I have exhausted all reasonable ways of resolving this issue, and I am extremely disappointed with how Telus has handled this situation. About 4 months ago, I received a letter from ARM Collection Agency stating that I owed $320 related to a former Telus account, with the alleged delinquency dating back to July 2022. I carefully reviewed all my Telus bills from that period and could not find any charge matching this amount. The final bill before my account was closed clearly showed a balance of $0. I then contacted Telus customer service. Telus confirmed that, based on their records, all payments had been made, and they could not identify what this outstanding charge was for. However, I was told that because my profile had already been transferred to a collection agency, Telus could not provide further details and that I needed to contact the collection agency myself. Although I was extremely frustrated, I contacted ARM Collection Agency and provided the payment records from over three years ago, and my final Telus ebill showing a zero balance. Then ARM confirmed that there was no valid debt and immediately closed the case. At that point, although unhappy with the process, I accepted it as resolved. However, I have now received another collection notice, this time from ARO, claiming that I owe $367 to Telus. This ARO Inc. appears to be a legitimate debt collection agency, so this does not seem to be a scam. What is alarming is that after the previous collection case was formally closed due to no debt, Telus appears to have assigned my profile to yet another collection agency, for a different amount, without providing any explanation. I am still a Telus customer, but this experience has completely undermined my trust in Telus’ billing system and customer support. I am posting this here in the hope that Telus will take ownership of this issue and provide a clear explanation and permanent resolution.71Views0likes1CommentBilling Discrepancies and Unsatisfactory Support Experience
I spoke with a representative who claimed to be from the Loyalty department. I called Telus. I'm guessing she was offshore. So I hear a dog barking in the background and I ask her why is there a dog barking in the background and she tells me that she is working from home. This is highly unprofessional for a major telecommunications company. Who wants to hear extraneous sounds like this when conducting business? Credits started disappearing from my bill and while there were numerous credits with an effective date of February 18, 2025 to February 17, 2026, one of these credits actually disappeared from my bill. The rep had no clue about it and was trying to convince me that the credit expired notwithstanding the fact that all other credits with the same dates were still on the current bill. It amazes me that these people are allowed to work from home, obviously with no support and such a lack of knowledge. So she gave me a price which was triple what I was paying and then changed it to double to what I was paying on my monthly bill. Does Telus really expect someone to pay double what they were previously paying on their bill for home services? I asked her what was the procedure for returning the equipment and again, she had no clue and said that information is provided if I give her a cancellation date. I guess my question is to know if there is any way of reaching out to get someone competent and knowledgeable with whom to discuss this. I would have just cancelled then and there but I need to arrange replacement services first and somehow I am hoping that this individual is not a reflection of Telus' service standards. Is there any way to get a local manager to call me?152Views0likes8CommentsInternet service contract expiration arbitrarily changed by TELUS
I signed up in October 2023 for what was then called "office" internet, with a 3 year contract (expiring October 2026). At the end of 2024 we moved, so I started inquiring about moving my existing service to our new home. After several back and forth emails and phone calls, I was told that the move would not be a problem, since the same fibre 1G service was available at my new location, and that the existing static IP address could be kept as well. On the date scheduled the TELUS installer came to connect the service but, surprise, I was told me that he was not aware of this been a continuation of a business plan, but a new home installation. After a couple of internal call on the tech part, my service was enabled (also got a new account number). After several calls with tech support, my static IP was as well. Fast forward one year, and I contacted TELUS to inquire about possibly switching to home service ASAP, or when my contract expires, and also ask about TELUS repeatedly overcharging my account, even though a valid CC has been on file according to the MyTelus website. In the course of multiple phone conversations, I am told that my contract is now set to expire in November 2027. I kept asking the reason why this could have happened, since my original contract duration was 3 years, not 4. Eventually the rep tells me that the reason for the change was the move itself: according to them there was simply no way the contract could not have been "reset" by moving, even though this was never pointed out to me ever during me asking about moving my service I asked to be called back by a supervisor, and she confirmed that the move was the one and only reason for this. There is NOTHING they can do, except moving me to monthly renewals, which effectively doubles my costs for the next 2 years. I've been with TELUS since the 90s, copper, DSL and finally fibre. I just wanted to ask if anyone knows if the story I've been told makes any sense.64Views0likes3CommentsTelus sent me to collection agency without contacting me
I received a mail from General Credit Services Inc stated that they have been contracted as the authorized collection agency because I own $1919.58 to TELUS CORPORATION PAYROLL I do recognize that the account number shown on the mail is indeed the T-ID I was assigned but I have left Telus more than 2 years ago, and not a single word from Telus, all of sudden I was sent to collection for something I never heard of? I tried to contact Telus to find out what’s going on, but giving that all the number I can find is for customer service and I clearly don’t have any active account so nobody can tell me anything. The nice ladies I had been talking to both assumed this is a scam letter. But given that the T-ID was actually shown on the letter I’m hoping someone from Telus could help me with this please. At least tell me the reason for this not so small amount please. 😭 Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. Rae1.1KViews0likes12CommentsClosed account
I transferred my mobility plan to another provider. Telus immediately closed my account. I want to pay my final bill. I have tried, Chat, Telephone and X to talk to someone but as my account number no longer works their AI will not connect me to anyone. Telus has to be the the most difficult company to reach to pay a bill in the western hemisphere. So far I have spent over an hour trying to pay the final bill. Any chance anyone here has a contact email for someone there so I can get a copy of my final bill and pay it? Thanks,Solved190Views0likes2Comments
