Billing 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?
Solving an escalation
I spent 2.5 hours with Telus yesterday speaking to 3 different employees & waiting. Telus is not honoring the verbal offer that I was given by the first agent - they are redacting their statement and breaking the verbal contract that I entered with them when I agreed to proceed with the offer. I escalated the issue and requested a supervisors intervention, he agreed to look into the issue and call me back the following day at a time conducive to my work schedule. He called me back with no answer other than redacting the offer, I also requested a call back to cancel TV services as I already waited on hold to do it the day before and they were unable. I was told I would get a call this evening from a cancellation rep and I would hear back from him. No one contacted me. My experience with customer service has been horrendous. If this does not get rectified I intend on issuing a formal complaint.
Telus taking me to collections after an account closure from 5 years ago
I recently started getting emails from a collections agency for an account that was closed back in 2020 which was 5 years ago. I have spoken a few times with customer support, the collections team, and the loyalty team at Telus and have been sent all over the place with no answers. The collections team originally stated that they would go through an approval process to credit the charge back since I was never given any indication that I had owed any money to Telus. No emails, no phone call, and I had opened a new home services account with them a year and a half after closing the original home services account but was never told a thing. Just this week I had spoke with the collections team again who said that the account was opened by a technical mistake and that they would put in the requests with the back office team to credit the amount back. The collections team agent then said I will have to speak with the loyalty team to get the credit the amount back so they forwarded my call to the loyalty team. Speaking with the loyalty team member they informed me they would put in some approvals and call me back in a few days to provide an update. cont..
Internet 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.
Collection 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.MyTELUS App Showing Wrong Phone Number After Agent-Assisted Transfer”
Hi everyone, I’m trying to figure out a strange MyTELUS app issue. At the top of the app, where my name appears next to the arrow that opens the sidebar, it’s showing my dad’s phone number instead of mine. This started right after a TELUS agent helped complete a number transfer on the account. The transfer itself worked, but now the app is pulling in the wrong number even though the account is under my name. I’ve tried logging out, reinstalling the app, and refreshing the account details, but the incorrect number still shows. TELUS claims they’ve fixed it on their end and that it may take up to 48 hours for the correct number to display. It feels really strange, but it sounds like a temporary display glitch related to backend account syncing and caching after the transfer. Is there someone here who can investigate this further, or has anyone experienced the same issue? Thanks in advance for any insight.
How to close a chat?
I was in the middle of resolving a few issues related to my account with what seemed to be a live person (though today you never know). They have been dropping me after each answer and I was restarting the chat again. After that, they shifted me to the module of scheduling a callback, and that thing offers me the dates where I am absolutely not available, and I cannot leave this chat and start another one unless I choose one of the dates. I tried everything I tried to been choosing another category of products. It still opens the same chat, forcing me to choose the dates and doesn't want me to connect to a live agent. Should I just wait for a week and restart the chat again? Sounds like a very dumb solution. Is there a cheat code to get out of that AI chat?
How to identify Telus service calls?
I'm worried: A couple of days ago I had several calls from people in India claiming they were from Telus. They knew my name, address, and account number. I thought "Ok, maybe they really are Telus account managers". But now I'm not so sure. If they really were official Telus accounts people, why don't they use their real names? Because when you hear somebody with a big Indian accent say their name is "Alex" or "Norman", aren't people going to think "Sure dude, those are common Indian names" and roll their eyes? That's what we're supposed to do when we get called by scammers, right, Telus? I did get another call back from somebody else who sounded like they were legit, and answered all my questions. BUT. It's been three days already, and I see one minor change to our TV/Internet package. The one important change I asked for has not been done, and we've received no conformation email from Telus. (Yes, I checked my spam folder.) Frankly, we're talking about finding a more responsive provider.
