Cancellation service #1 in Canada
Borrowell is a Canadian fintech company that provides free credit score monitoring, credit reports, and personalized financial-product recommendations, along with paid services such as Credit Builder, Rent Advantage, and premium features branded as Borrowell Boost. The platform reports certain payment activity to credit bureaus and offers tools intended to help users build or monitor credit in Canada.
When you deactivate or delete your Borrowell account you will lose access to the Borrowell app and the website features tied to that account. Account deactivation/deletion does not automatically stop recurring paid subscriptions; those must be cancelled through the subscription management flow or by contacting Borrowell support before deletion. Borrowell may retain certain account data in accordance with its terms of use and privacy policy even after deletion; consult the Terms of Use for details on retention and permitted uses of historical data. Any reporting to credit bureaus that was already made (for example, installment reporting from Credit Builder) may continue to appear on credit reports according to the reporting schedules and bureau policies.
Borrowell’s public materials and help pages do not clearly promise a universal 14‑day refund window for paid services. Refund outcomes can vary: some consumers have reported receiving refunds processed to their original payment method after contacting Borrowell, while others have filed complaints (for example via the Better Business Bureau) alleging they did not receive promised refunds. If Borrowell advertised a refund as part of a paid service, that may be treated as an implied term under Canadian consumer-protection norms. To pursue a refund, contact Borrowell support, provide receipts and cancellation proof, and keep records. If you cannot resolve the issue, you can escalate to consumer-protection authorities or file a complaint with agencies such as the Better Business Bureau.

Canadian consumers generally have protections under federal and provincial consumer laws. Distance or online contracts can carry specific cancellation rights in some provinces (often framed around a 14‑day period for certain purchases), but Borrowell’s public policies do not explicitly offer a universal 14‑day refund window for its paid services. If Borrowell advertises a refund on cancelling a paid service, consumer‑protection law may treat that as an enforceable term; failure to honor advertised refunds can be considered an unfair practice. Borrowell’s Terms of Use indicate it is governed by Ontario law (except in Quebec), so disputes are typically subject to Ontario courts; consumers in Quebec may have additional statutory protections under Quebec’s consumer-protection regime. For definitive advice on rights and remedies, consult your provincial consumer affairs office or a lawyer.
Reviews are mixed. Many users praise Borrowell for its free weekly credit score monitoring, a user‑friendly interface, responsive customer service in some cases, and helpful credit‑building features. Borrowell holds an A+ accreditation with the Better Business Bureau, indicating a history of addressing complaints. At the same time, complaints include concerns about unclear product descriptions (for example the characterization of Credit Builder), occasional slow or limited customer support (such as lack of phone support), disputes about refunds, and reports of outdated or incorrect credit data. These mixed experiences suggest outcomes can vary by case and resolution often depends on the responsiveness of support and the documentation a user provides.
Common errors include assuming that account deletion cancels paid subscriptions (it does not), failing to save cancellation confirmations or receipt screenshots, and not verifying whether refunded amounts were actually posted back to the original payment method. Some users attempt deletion on an older app version and cannot see the "Delete Account" option; others contact support but do not follow up with documentation or an escalation path. To avoid problems, cancel subscriptions first, keep written confirmation, and monitor bank statements after requesting refunds.
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile app (Account Settings → Edit Your Profile → Manage Account → Deactivation) | Depends - refunds are not automatic; may be issued if eligible after contacting support | Easy |
| Web / Desktop (Profile → Account Settings → Manage your account → Delete) | Depends - refunds are not automatic; may be issued if eligible after contacting support | Easy |
| Registered letter to corporate address (formal written notice) | Possible - formal notice can help in disputes and may prompt refund processing if eligible | Moderate |
After you cancel or deactivate your account and any paid subscriptions, retain all cancellation confirmations and payment records and watch your bank or card statements for any refund credits. If you requested a refund and it is not issued within a reasonable timeframe, contact Borrowell support with your documentation and request a status update. If Borrowell does not resolve the issue, you can escalate by filing a complaint with provincial consumer‑protection authorities or with the Better Business Bureau; see Borrowell’s Help Centre and Terms of Use for official procedures and contact options.
