Public Mobile / Telus not responding/acting on request to delete payment information

[balaca]

No confirmation message received. Neither the card was removed.

What is the escalation procedure for this, and which regulator has the authority to act on this?

I have to admit, it sure would be nice if the Moderators who ar replacing Jade while she's on a leave of absence would update the Announcement section to confirm wait times are back to normal and what those look like. Communication with their customers are everything. Perhaps since the Oracles here have the Moderators ears, maybe they can, if they haven't, share with them an update to that post would be beneficial to all customers including the people who are volunteering to help others here. Until they update it, I will continue to say 48 hours. If I'm wrong, then it's on them to update it.

@balaca May I ask when did you put in a ticket? If it's been less than 24 hours, the fact it's the weekend there is no need to put in a second one. There are so many issues going on with PM right now they have a back log of tickets.

And since they haven't updated this announcement, it means they are still dealing with longer than normal wait times.

The regulator is the CCTS.

But I'm sure you can get their attention probably by letting them know if they do not remove it from your profile page, you will be processing a CCTS complaint, which will cost them just under $150.

Thanks I did check the inbox - last message there was  a month ago.

It is a frustrating experience, for me as a customer to go through a bot every time, to relieve my account from the shady techniques like this by Telus/Public Mobile.

OK. Yes, if you've already submitted a ticket, it does take them time to respond to it. Being the weekend and all and since they are all overseas, it can take up to 48 hours as they happen to have a backlog of tickets right now. So hold tight, I'm sure they will respond to you soon. Just keep checking the box in the top right corner. There is no need to send them another message. Please wait the 48 hours before sending another one requesting an update.

What exactly are you trying to figure out? What's happened? We sure could use some more details.

Are you trying to remove your credit card from the profile? If so, only PM can do that and you'd have to create a ticket. OR, you can change the credit card info on file to a pre paid credit card. Just know when those funds run out you'd need another one or vouchers. That is how I was able to do it.
