Ahhh, H&R Block...
The wonderful people who cheerfully informed me several years ago that I didn't need to report my student loan as income.
THAT went over well.
Wrong.
They will just write the charges off (after disconnecting service for non-payment) and send the account to a collection agency, who will probably not take you to court to seek a judgement (though they will certainly imply they will, but that's an entirely differen topic). The end result is generally a hit on your credit report and a lot of harassing phone calls from a pleasant man/woman who is usually named Mr./Mrs. Smith.
As far as the legality of the contract, if the company can't provide proof (either a recorded conversation, a signed document, or a copy of any electronic contract) the contract is void. Since you're talking about Telus, there's a good chance this is happening in Alberta. If that's the case, speak with Government Services as the Fair Trading Act governs contracts within the province and they deal with any concerns regarding contracts under it (as well the marketing of said contracts).

Decimal measurement systems? As opposed to what... Binary? Octal? Good old hex? It's only 0F13 miles from New York to Paris, you know.
