Complaint Review: Koodo Mobile (Telus)

Koodo Mobile (Telus) Cellular Phones, Ontario

My phone service was suspended because I had not paid my bill  (fair enough)  


However,  in the end of July there was a glitch in thier system that crashed all phones for Koodo Mobile customers.   I had not persued anything,  because I still had to pay my balance.  In the middle of October I had finally paid my balance then expecting my services to run again as normal in the next 20 minuites.   Unfortunatly my phone wasn't working,  so I had to go to the mall where I got the phone


I had called technical support and they couldn't fix the problem.   I was told to give it 3 days and a week and blah blah blah....


 


I finally got a delegate who looked into the history and told me that the reason was because of thier glitch in July and that he was going to send a report for them to look into it and that it would take at least 3 days to fix it,  but give it a week  (ok)


So I call a week later,  and the tech support delegate can't do anything.   I then said to myself   "I am going to call ONE MORE TIME.  If the delegate can't fix the problem then I am cancelling the phone for good" 


I called and I was told to give it a week  (again.....NO!!!)   I said I am cancelling.  The delegate then told me to go back to the store to return my phone.


I went to the mall and they wouldn't return it since it had been more than 14 days,  and I was told that I would have to pay my remaining TAB of  $71.   Oh, and somehow when I paid my bill in the middle of October by balance in a span of 3 weeks goes to $69   (for what?   a phone line that doesn't work?)


They ripped me off big time.   I am now out   $140.   I told them that I don't want to deal with them anymore and to just send my bill to collections.

When I had finally had enough of them telling me to call back next week several times, I told them that I wouldn't and I wanted to cancel my bill. The lady had even told me ok, don't worry we will take care of everything (credit you and even let you keep the phone)

To my surprise, I kept reciving bills in the mail for the tab of the phone. I had called them and told them that I would not pay for it since I didn't get service and that I was told I could keep the phone (since they woulnd't take it back),I just let the bills keep coming. They finally sent it to collections and at that point I was forced to pay. I was lied to, they and had to pay for thier services that I didn't even get. They toke advantage and I hate them.

BEWARE!!!!!!

Well,  after calling a bunch of delegates,   there finally was a nice lady delegate,  who looked into my past history,   and saw that there was 'NO'  activity  since I got my newest phone,  and she waived  ALL the charges,  and even told me that I could keep the phone.

 

I guess there are still nice people who work for this company
