Telus balance sent to collections?
Has anyone else had a Telus balance sent to collections without ever being contacted about it? I recently noticed that my TransUnion credit score dropped by about 100 points, from roughly 860 to 760. I've never missed a payment on anything. When I checked my report, I found a collection for only $115 from a collection agency, with TELUS listed as the original creditor. The strange part is that I've been a telus customer continuously for at least 10-12 years and I've lived at the same address for the last six years, and my current Telus account is in good standing with a $0 balance with autowithdrawal enabled. As far as I'm aware, Telus never contacted me about an outstanding balance. I didn't receive a bill, email, phone call, or any indication that I owed $115. I also don't recall ever being contacted by the collection agency. If someone had simply told me I owed $115 I would have paid it. I've started a dispute with TransUnion because I don't recognize the debt, but I'm trying to understand how this could happen. If I genuinely owed $115, why wouldn't it have appeared on my existing account, or why wouldn't TELUS have contacted me before sending it to collections? They have my current account and contact information and I've remained an active customer the entire time. So now I'm so bummed because my near perfect credit score has been wrecked from this charge for a hundred bucks. Has anyone else had something similar happen with TELUS? If so, were you able to find out where the balance came from and get the collection removed from your credit report?
billing issue
I have been emailing mailto:[email protected] for weeks and have received no response. I have been to the Telus website trying to find the form to submit so that a ticket can be created but the links go around in circles. The AI chat only gives me replies related to connection issues. Can I please just send an email to someone to explain the billing issue and have it resolved? Why do you make this so hard?? The claim to resolve issues within 7 days is completely false. Beyond frustrated!
5G Essential Unlimited Canada-US Plan
I visited the US last month and was charged roaming fees despite having a Canada-US Plan. I called to ask them to remove the charge and was told my plan does not include data coverage in the US, but as an exception, they will remove the charge and apply it as a credit to my next bill. I had the same problem 3 months ago and was told that with a Canada-US Plan, I shouldn't have been charged roaming fees, and they credited the charge immediately. I do not want to be charged every time I visit the US and have to go through calling an agent and posting on the forum. Can I be directed to someone who can fix this issue?
Phone number transfer and creating new eSIM
I'm a new Telus customer and I've been having technical issues with getting one of my phone numbers ported. The account specialist keeps telling me to wait or that it's being worked on or that I should be receiving a text notification for the porting. I did not see this issue make any progress. I thought I'd try deleting the eSIM and recreating it on MyTelus, but I ran into more issues and couldn't create a new eSIM. It's been half a month and frustrating to see that my first monthly bill is more than double the amount I should be paying and I can't use one of the phone lines...
Unable to submit a Business Support Request or reach a live agent
Hello TELUS Support Team, Could someone please help me reach the appropriate support team? I’m experiencing several issues: The Business Billing Inquiry form repeatedly displays an error when submitting. The chatbot identifies the profile as non-business and will not transfer me to a live agent. Bill Analyzer shows only some of the accounts visible in My TELUS. Attempts to link additional accounts are unsuccessful. I have tried the available self-service options but keep reaching the same dead ends. Could a support representative please contact me by private message so I can provide the details securely and have a support case opened? I would appreciate written assistance rather than a phone callback. Thank you for your help.Home services and formal complaint email address
Hi. I want to file a formal complaint to Telus management on my home services but have just been redirected by the Bot and still can't find the form. Feels like this bot is designed to redirect people away from truly getting support. I disputed my bill and again the bot tells me to message their agents. My complaint are getting lost in the chatbot msgs. Can someone please give me an email address? I was promised by Telus' sales agent that my monthly bills would be a set amount when I signed a 2 year contract, its has been 8 months now, the bill keeps going up for different reasons. I've tried to resolve this issue many times, each time a new agent goes into my account, promises me it will be fixed, then nothing happens. It's wrong for sales agent to promise one thing and Telus to charge differently. I don't mind sending an email to the executive team if someone has the email address. Have anyone else been in the same situation? Sales agents promising one thing and bills charge different? What did you do to remedy it? Thanks in advance.
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.
