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.76Views1like6CommentsTelus charging tax on credits?
Has anyone else noticed that when Telus gives you a "one time credit" they charge you tax on the credited amount? So that when a Telus agent promises you a $100 credit their billing department charges you $6.20 PST and $4.50 GST on that and you only end up receiving $89.30. It seems like an incredibly deceptive practice and probably constitutes fraud. I'm wondering has anyone disputed this in order to actually receive the full credit that was promised? Here's how they explain it in the fine print on the bill: "*Credit provided is discretionary and includes applicable taxes (based on the taxes levied in the province of supply) therefore the value displayed on your bill is the value before tax. For example, a $10 discretionary credit towards Internet service offered in BC includes $0.62 PST and $0.45 GST, meaning the credit value displayed will be $8.93. The $0.62 PST and $0.45 GST are captured as reductions in the amount of tax charged on your balance owing.
