26 TopicsTelus 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.

So I have a payment arrangement for yesterday but it's under "home services" and I don't have anything but mobile service; cell phone, tablet and watch. I've never had home service, I live in rural Sask, it's not even available where I am. So that's odd. Then there's the fact that when I ask the virtual chat assistant about payment arrangements, Im told the account owner or manager needs to sign in to do that. I've checked my account and I'm still the only one on it and Im set as owner, so what's going on there? Then Im wondering what the live chat teams hours of operation are, does anyone know? Whats happening to Telus? I've been with them for 15 years now and I cannot keep up with my bill in the last 14 months! My bills are upwards of $700/month due to playing catch-up and it just keeps getting worse. 3 months ago I put $600 on a $764 bill and withina who and a half, the new bill came out and I was back up to owing $632!!! How the heck am I supposed to keep up with this highway robbery???2.8KViews0likes2CommentsTelus raising prices unprecedented.
Hi, Home writing this in regards to not being able to communicate with anyone that has been able to fix this issue. I’ve been on phone calls and I’ve been told that they can’t fix it. Went on the phone. I was put on hold for hours just to talk to the same person and not rectify the situation. They then emailed me telling me that they were gonna call me back so I can speak with the manager and they never did, It ended up being the same person I spoke to when I was put on hold. Before I reach out to CCTS I am reaching out on here in hopes to find a solution. I was offered a specific plan if I transferred All four lines in my family to tellus. For a year, it was great but come 2025. They raised the rates with no questions asked. I find this very disloyal that they did not honour the original agreement. Me and my family feel scammed. Here the the price differences in monthly bills.1.6KViews0likes5CommentsTelus 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. Rae1.2KViews0likes12CommentsTELEKOM LAW PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION
I received an email from Telekon Law. It states that I owe 510.17 before or on the 26th. I am not aware of any debts I have with Telus, and my phone bill is fully paid. I would like some help. Is this legit? I don't have the money to pay for it either, I already all my bills for this month and bought groceries, I literally have no money to pay for this. And if I don't, I am being brought to court apparently. Any help/information, would be greatly appreciated.300Views0likes1CommentFraudulent Charge
I recieved a letter in the mail for an unknown closed account for $776 due immediately. I thought it was a scam due to spelling errors but I thought I better follow up with Telus. It turns out it is a real bill but mobility couldn't tell me what it was and transfered me to Internet services. They couldn't tell me what it was so they transferred me again. The next person said it was for an installation under a corporation but couldn't tell me much more. I told them that I don't have a corporation and that I never authorized anything. This was about 1.25 hours into this and they asked me where I lived and I told them so they transferred me again. I was on hold for 2 hours and finally gave up due to an appointment I had to go to. I now have to phone again on money because the letter said they are going to send a collection agency after me and it could affect my credit rating. I don't have the time to sit on the phone for 3 hours at a time while they transfer around the county because customer service doesn't know what this charge is about. What would my next step be to get this resolved? I have until August 27th apparently to get this taken care of.142Views0likes2CommentsCollection 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.104Views0likes2CommentsTelus 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.100Views0likes1CommentBilling 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?99Views0likes8CommentsUnauthorized charges
Hello, I am contacting you because I got charged $900 more than I expected. My internet plan is $40 and this month I just got the bill of $940. Please see the story below and I have also created a post in Reddit. The person named El-Eric suggested that I also create a post here to have in resolved. Day 1: Everything started with an unstable Wi-Fi connection. I phoned Telus, and the CSR said they would try to fix it remotely. They mentioned I might receive a text from their support team confirming it was resolved; if not, they would send a technician the next day to troubleshoot. By the end of Day 1, I never received any text or call—only an email saying a technician would be coming the next day. Day 2: The technician arrived, and we talked about my unstable Wi-Fi. He suggested it might be due to my old modem. He went back to his work truck, replaced it with the newer Wi-Fi 6E modem, and then left. We never discussed any charges, and he never told me I should expect a bill for the visit or the hardware. A couple of days later, I was shocked to receive a $672 bill. For what? I was never told I would have to pay for fixing my Wi-Fi, nor was I told there would be any charges for hardware. Fast forward to a few days ago, I received my actual bill—and the amount was even higher, including a $200 diagnostic fee, bringing the total to around $900. I was never informed about this either. For my ~$40 plan, this is ridiculous. I then contacted the loyalty department, and the representative there was also shocked. She said she needed 2–4 days for her manager to review the call recordings to confirm that I was never advised about diagnostic or hardware fees. I really hope they call me back soon. I also removed my pre-authorized payment to avoid being automatically charged. If you need more information please let me know. Thanks again for taking this case seriously.99Views0likes4Comments
