FAQ
Q: Will I get a refund for the current billing period?
A: It depends on your provider's refund policy. Check your contract's 'Cancellation' section; many offer prorated refunds only if cancelled within a specific window.
Q: How long should I wait for a cancellation confirmation?
A: You should receive an automated email immediately. A formal confirmation letter with a case number typically arrives within 3-7 business days. If not, follow up using your reference [[REFERENCE]].
