Deadlines to keep
- Send your cancellation: Before the next renewal date (note free-trial end dates)
- First follow-up: 7 days after your written request with no reply (our suggestion, not a legal rule)
- Escalate: About 14 days after your first written request, move to the next step: Card issuer dispute (chargeback)
- Card or bank dispute: As soon as an unauthorised or post-cancellation charge appears; issuers set their own time limits (check yours) [VERIFY]
- Check statements: For the next two billing cycles after cancelling
These are our recommendations, not legal deadlines.
