FAQ

Q: What if the company ignores my cancellation email?
A: Send a follow-up with read receipt, then escalate to management or dispute charges with your bank if prepaid.

Q: Do I need to give a reason for canceling?
A: No, but stating 'no longer required' or 'service mismatch' can prevent fee disputes without oversharing.
