11 TopicsSolving 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.79Views0likes3CommentsTelus 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..301Views0likes11CommentsInternet 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.63Views0likes3CommentsIncorrect Information On Bill Website?
I logged into my account to see that on my bill page it says that I have an overdue bill of 10 days (said it was due on December 2nd) but I paid that bill on Nov 13th. So when I clicked the pay now, as I assumed the website would be correct, I realized that I already paid for the month and I now paid ahead of time for December now. This is more of a notice to the tech side of the webpage but I did not appreciate that jump care only for it to misread my payments. And I am curious if anyone else had this message pop up for them? Thanks!45Views0likes1CommentSpecialist appt call. didn’t help me then transferred me to closed department

You guys leave me with no choice to to contact crtc or please have a manager or someone who will actually call me today or I will be contacting crtc to make complaint that no one will help me67Views0likes4CommentsLast attempt to resolve account issue
Posting here in a last ditch effort to resolve an internet/account issue before filing a complaint with CCTS. I am on a 250mbps internet plan, along with tv, and some home security thing I never wanted in the first place but was told they had to give it to me as part of some loyalty plan. 6 months ago I contacted support - they couldn’t communicate with the modem on their end, they ended up sending a new modem. I was told it would be a new generation modem, but it was not. I worked slightly better, so I kept it (not worth spending another 3 hours on the phone with support) Finally the internet got so bad, with ~50mbps down and 10mbps up, and almost non-responsive at times I called again. 3 hours later, and I’m paraphrasing - “we have to send a tech out, something is wrong between the modem and the building”. I am on a 2 year agreement as a result of the last loyalty plan to keep me as a customer. I confirmed with multiple escalations that my account has always been in good standing, and that my internet speed is nowhere near 250mbbs (~50mbps on a good day). In my view I have kept my side of the agreement, and Telus has broken theirs. Multiple loyalty departments refused to waive a the cancellation fee - I offered that they just waive the fee, and move me to a internet-only 75/mo plan and some small compensation for the last 6 months (much longer, but it was 6 months since I contacted them initially) - and then this customer of 10 years will likely be a customer for another 10 years. Nope, no can do. I think I’m going above and beyond as a customer in giving Telus a chance to make things right by even posting here. So here’s your last chance.Solved182Views0likes4CommentsWhy did Telus send my outstanding balance to collections before statement due date?
They sent my outstanding balance to collections, effectively screwing my credit, less than one week after I suspended my services. The due date on my final bill, which was never actually sent to me by email OR snail mail, is September 24th. The current billing cycle is for a month that I didn't have any services through them. This is absurd.125Views0likes1CommentBills bug
I was checking my bill that is for August and found my bill suddenly doubled, even though the bill file says -- Balance forward from your last bill is 0. How could this happen? I tried to contact with Customer service but no one is responding. Is there anyone who can help to resolve this bug?77Views0likes2CommentsIs Telus Customer Support That Bad?
Today I went to upgrade my 1Gig Fibre plan to 3Gig. I have all my own equipment, router, ONT etc. I tell the lady I don't need to rent equipment or have a tech sent out as I always do my own internet install. For god sake the worker on the phone is forcing me to rent equipment, have a tech sent out, will not listen to my inquiry at all. Also quoted me higher than the price given on the website to modify my plan. How in gods name do we get a customer agent/technician over the phone to satisfy my needs? Never ONCE have I had this issue in my years with Telus, always a easy to use upgrade / change. Never once have I had this happen. Really disappointed.2.6KViews0likes5Comments
