I was only behind on a single payment as of October. On October 13th I paid my complete outstanding balance which was the one month I was behind plus the late fees totalling $90 and the current **** for the month totalling $85. I sent $175 on October 13th. I should have owed nothing. In November I go to pay my **** which should have been $85 for the month but my **** says I owe them $230. I contacted support and informed them of their mistake. They confirmed that they received my payment in October but that all the charges were valid and I owed them $230 somehow. I told them I wouldnt pay these fraudulent charges and they can terminate my service. On December 6th they finally cancelled my service but they never fixed my ****. On January 6th they completely deleted my account so I cannot even log in anywhere to look at my ****. I received an email on January 21st from a collection agency claiming I owe Telus $530. I do not know where they got this number. I should only owe them for 2 ****ing cycles plus a reconnection fee as well as late fees. $85 for internet for 2 months, $45 reconnection fee, plus $5-10 for late fees. Even if the **** for September-October was not posted when I paid it on October 13th, which it should have been, that would still only be 3 ****ing cycles. I should only owe between $230-$320. I do not know why they decided to double what I owed them and contacting them has not resolved the issue. They are trying to make me pay fraudulent charges and I will not.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I was only contacted twice for the 2 complaints I made on the telus website under their management escalation page. They never tried to contact me regarding my complaint with BBB. They left a voicemail telling me to call them if I require further assistance. They never actually made an attempt at fixing my billing mistake. I dont understand why I need to be contacted for them to fix my bill. They have my account information and my information. They can fix my bill without having to talk to me.

I did research on Internet provider and Telus was a good option for my home Internet. I was told that there are no restrictions and ********** will be Installed within a few days. After installation I noticed that inbound traffic was restricted and asked Support to correct that. After numerous failed calls to Support due to incompetence of the support person I finally got a technical person to tell me that I can set my modem in "Bridging" mode and all traffic will be unrestricted. I did that but nothing changed. Called again and agreed to extra service installed only to get a technician to my house. Another week later the tech came and assured me that setting the modem in "bridging" mode will unrestrict traffic. When checking, I realized that nothing changed. Escallated to management with no resolution, but was told to switch to "Business" account. I put in the request and another week later someone called me only to tell me that I CANNOT set up business account because I don't have a registration#. I went to a Telus store and obtained a direct number to technical support that told me today it's because THE GOVERNMENT is restricting traffic because they want to control ALL traffic through TELUS (hard to believe), and since there is no solution for my request, I can only cancel service. Cancelling service after all this time now comes with a $300 penalty because it's passed the 30 days trial period, regardless that since day 1 I was complaining about it without resolution. It is ridiculous that ONLY TELUS has this issue; any other provider can offer unrestricted traffic to paying customers.Business Response

In my Telus ******** package I as supposed to have a feature to allow me to manage my TV subscriptions. This feature is not working for my account, and back on Dec 10th I had called to request it be fixed and I also requested changes be made to my TV packages. One request made that day was to add ******* to my account. This was completed promptly, but because the feature to manage my account does not work I am unable to activate *******. I have called Telus to report this several (5+) times, received assurances it will be fixed in 24 hrs then nothing, no updates no apologies.Business Response

I reached out looking *** an extension because I missed a payment arrangement due to fraud that was done in my account. My card was frozen ( which for few days my pre authorized payments with my security system for my house wasnt through for some days). My bank is investigating the situation so I have no gotten back my money to make the payment I was told it can take up to 90 days. I ask if can be arrange for next week Friday for when Im paid because I know for sure money will be there I cant guarantee my bank with have it resolved before then. But I was denied that. My phone I need because Im on call at work. If can answer my phone at for I missing work. This is actually a terrible way to treat customer seeing how this has happened to me out of no where. Card was frozen for a few days and now I have not been able to get my money yet. If this how customer are treated Ill just take services elsewhere.Customer Answer

I want to be reached out by company. Ever since switched to Telus Ive been having nothing but issues that require me to make complaints. There needs to be a resolution especially if Ive informed there was fraud done on my account. Treatment like that is unnecessary. Every customer service person I spoke to was ride except the last guy who went out of his way to help, the rest were rude and dismissive.Business Response

After weeks and weeks and about 10+ hours of phone calls being passed around to 8-9+ different Telus agents. 2-3 of them finally decide to cancel my bill. I thought it was cancelled but not. I even had 1 agent confirmed on my file that it was cancelled and they will remove past charges. My bill at the time was about $400 but was credit back to only $20-$40. 1 month later my bill came in at $1000+ even though they confirmed it had been cancelled. Please help me. I even have a confirmation letter from them proving all of this on November 19 2014.Business Response

Door-to-door salesperson connected with roommate. Met and discussed options, she stated I'd save up to $1000 / year. Sounded good, started process to cancel **** Internet and set up with TELUS. Received an online bill BEFORE they connected and found I'd be paying $80 more a month, not saving anything. I called to cancel, after over an hour on the phone (cannot connect via internet chat nor any other method), things were supposed to be cancelled.Received an INVOICE from TELUS, firstly to "keep my PERSONAL INFORMATION PRIVATE. So I called to complain, with again another hour on the phone. This started in February 2024 and I have still been receiving invoices, and it panicked me as I don't need another harassing bill collector contacting me when I NEVER USED THEIR SERVICES. To-Date I've called to get my information / accounted DELETED and I'm still receiving harassing emails saying I've got an INVOICE. I've called now FOUR TIMES to get this done with each annoying call lasting over 1 hour per call and having to re-explain the situation at least 3 times per call.I want my information deleted, including my email as I HAVE NEVER USED THEM since the Land-line phones (1990s).Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I never received their services as I stuck with **** for my INTERNET as it was ~$60 cheapter per month rather than saving me $1000 per year. So I cancelled, and now I have to pay $8.00 as per the attachment you've sent me. Why would I pay for services I never wanted, cancelled before they even cut off my **** and set up their Telus internet?Since I've filed this complaint, I've already received four text messages asking how my experience was from my call to DELETE MY INFORMATION (Email, Phone number, Account). This is not done as they're now resending this invoice. If I've never used them, why would I pay them???!!!! In addition to their text messages, I've also been getting a phone call every day since this complaint was filed.
I am not satisfied with this harassment, then to pay to NOT GET HARASSED?!!! Please help me with this as I do not feel paying them to delete my information is is fair.

During November 2024 black Friday, I spoke with Telus home Services (with whom I've been a loyal customer for 5+years) and negotiated an enhanced "Telus *************************** at a special rate in exchange for remaining a customer of theirs (and foregoing any type of alternate ISP black friday negotations with another ISP like ****). The promise : Minimum guaranteed 75mbps download speed (as per their website) but they promised I was compatible for at least 92mbps, up to 150mbps. 3 separate conversations with 3 different support analysts all confirming I can get this speed to my modem. Two technicians of theirs have visited my home and determined that the infrastructure here cannot support anything more than 60mbps maximum - point blank. Telus claimed several different times they can provide this service level and the truth is that it's physically not possible with my joined copper lines. My complaint is that this service negotiation is based on completely false promises and information and I've lost my consumer leverage to fight for a better deal with another ISP (If I had known the truth I would have seeked different service initially during Black Friday while I still had leverage to make a beneficial deal). I spoke with retention this morning and they offered a completely irrelevant "WIFI Booster" (which has no baring on copper DSL line performance) or to simply cancel my service. Telus should be held to account for this and it shouldn't be up to the consumer to determine what's physically possible and what is not. I've wasted valuable time, countless hours on the phone with their customer support and ********************** doesn't seem to care.Business Response

To whom it may concern,I am reaching out as the Executive Director of the ************************* operating as The Fort Foundation Community Justice Hub, to urgently address a matter that has significantly hindered our operational capabilities and placed undue pressure on our nonprofit organization. This issue involves unfulfilled commitments made by Mr. ***** *********** who sold us the telephone service.Account: ************* Address: ******************************** ************** has been billed $75 per month since October 10, 2023, for three telephone lines that have not been operational. Mr. ***** ********** promised on several occasions to rectify this by crediting our account:October 1, 2024: Initial commitment to apply a credit.October 23, 2024: Reassurance of imminent credit application.November 15, 2024: Assured that the credit would be processed within 20 minutes.Despite these commitments by Mr. *********** no credits have been applied. Recently, our main telephone line was disconnected, which is prominently featured in our marketing materials, exacerbating the situation further. The disconnection forces our hand to pay the outstanding balance, under conditions that I believe constitute coercion, as it appears designed to compel payment regardless of the service not being rendered as agreed. This practice is not only unethical but also places undue duress on our organization, as it threatens our ability to serve the community effectively.Immediate reconnection of our main telephone line at no additional charge.Application of the full credit as repeatedly promised by Mr. ***** **********.Our nonprofit relies on clear and dependable communication to fulfill our mission. The ongoing issues and the pressure to make unwarranted payments under threat of service discontinuation are unacceptable and need your immediate intervention.Business Response
