FAQ

Q: Will I get a refund for the current billing cycle after I cancel?
A: It depends on the provider's policy. Most offer pro-rated refunds only if canceled within a specific window (e.g., 7 days). Check your terms.

Q: What if the company ignores my cancellation email?
A: Follow up with a firm second email. If still ignored, dispute charges with your bank citing 'service not as described' and provide your cancellation proof.
