Last attempt before legal action
I have been a loyal TELUS customer since before the brand existed. Over the years, I watched TELUS grow into a leader in Canadian telecom. Unfortunately, my recent experiences as both a customer and property owner of Redwater Site #1210 have declined to the point that they require public attention. Several years ago, I was the victim of TELUS Mobility fraud. I ordered one phone but was sent three. I returned two immediately, yet was billed for all three and later charged for plans tied to those devices once activated elsewhere. While travelling, the one phone I kept was abruptly shut down by TELUS’s fraud unit, leaving me stranded and forced to buy a replacement. Since then, I have spent more than two years pursuing a refund and resolution. I have endured broken promises, managers who never called back, being yelled at, falsely accused, hung up on, and misled about U.S. coverage. Escalations produced no results. I continue to face charges for services I never used, including U.S. roaming fees. I repeatedly asked for a mobility plan that covered Canada and the U.S., but this was never provided. Adding to this, I am entitled under my tower agreement to four complimentary phones of my choice every two years. Despite repeated written and verbal requests, I have received none. As a matter of professional courtesy — corporation to corporation — I ask TELUS executive leadership: What do you advise if my requests for resolution, contract fulfillment, and fair compensation continue to be ignored? I will gladly send proof of Telus's internal fraud, bills and communications with Telus for the last 2.5 years to anyone that will listen and take action. My only goal is fair treatment, accountability, and the service TELUS claims to provide its customers. I look forward to your prompt response. Brian Lasner, MD
