FAQ

Q: Should I cancel my service mid-billing cycle or at the end?
A: Check your contract; many services require cancellation at the period end to avoid prorated charges, but some allow immediate termination with a fee.

Q: What if the company doesn't respond to my cancellation email?
A: Follow up with a firm email referencing your first request. If still ignored, send a certified letter and contact your bank to stop future payments per your contract terms.
