Really I don't recall ever getting a credit check, however Rogers did send me to collections when my # got ported by identity theft.
Woke up one morning and my phone didn't work called Rogers and they said I ported my # I was like how thats news to me, and they would not cooperate so I had to go into a store. After wasting 2 hours they finally agreed that I didn't port my # to another carrier and said that they have to port it back but now my account is closed so they need to set up a new one and will merge everything.
Get my # ported back a month later I went to Apple to get a new iPhone no contract and they said I can't upgrade because Rogers has blocked me for 6 months. I got pissed and switched to another carrier, paid off the remainder of my Rogers bill.
Few months later I am getting emails and calls from a collection agency that I didn't pay my Rogers bill. Apparently they didn't close off the old account # properly and move it over and it went past due. Thanks Rogers never had a collection call in my life until they came after $100 bucks.
Rogers together with Shaw indeed robbing you forever.
