How to cancel Checkpeople
Primary cancellation methods
- Call customer service at 1-800-267-1122 during business hours to request cancellation.
- Email support at [email protected] asking for cancellation and confirmation.
Online cancellation option
- Log into your account on the CheckPeople website and look for account or subscription settings to cancel.
- You will need your account password to cancel online; if you cannot log in, use phone or email support.
Timing and confirmations
- Cancellations must be made at least three (3) days before the next billing period to avoid the next charge.
- Always request written confirmation (email) of cancellation and keep screenshots or copies for your records.
What happens when you cancel
Access and service period
When you cancel, service typically continues until the end of the current paid billing period. You generally retain access through that date.
Renewal and future billing
Cancellation halts future automatic billing if processed in time. Monitor your bank or card statements to confirm that recurring charges stop after the current period.
Data and account handling
CheckPeople’s specific data-retention policies are not always public. Export or save any reports you need before cancelling.
Contact support to request deletion or clarification of retained data after cancellation.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
Refunds are issued on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed. Approved refunds are typically posted to the original payment method within about 10 business days.
Proration and exceptions
- The company generally does not provide prorated refunds for unused time; cancelling mid-billing period usually does not yield reimbursement.
- If you believe a charge is erroneous or you have exceptional circumstances, document the issue and contact support to request a review.
How to pursue a refund
If support declines a refund, consider disputing the charge with your card issuer and provide evidence of cancellation requests and correspondence.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Key statutory protections
Nigerian consumers have rights to fair treatment, transparent pricing, and protection from misleading commercial practices. These rights are set out under the Consumer Protection Council Act.
Practical remedies
- You have the right to clear information before purchase and to redress if terms were misleading or not disclosed.
- If recurring billing was not clearly disclosed or cancellation was made difficult, you may file a complaint with consumer authorities or seek other legal remedies.
How to act locally
Collect documentation of the service terms, charges, and communications before filing a complaint. This will strengthen any claim to local consumer bodies or your card issuer.
Consider contacting the relevant consumer protection agency in Nigeria for guidance on next steps.
Customer experiences

Documentation checklist
Account and payment records
- Account username or email used to register with CheckPeople.
- Copies of billing statements and transaction dates showing charges.
Communication and cancellation proof
- All emails exchanged with support, including cancellation requests and any replies.
- Phone call logs, dates, times, and the name of the representative if available.
Supporting screenshots
- Screenshots of account settings, billing pages, and cancellation confirmations.
- Any error messages or pages showing continued access after cancellation.
Common mistakes
Missing cancellation window
A frequent error is waiting too long to cancel. CheckPeople requires cancellations at least three days before the next billing date to avoid the next charge.
Example: a user who cancels one day before renewal may still be billed for the next cycle.
Not keeping confirmation
Another common mistake is failing to save written confirmation of cancellation. Without written proof, disputes with the provider or card issuer are harder to resolve.
Always request and store an email confirmation or take a dated screenshot of cancellation confirmation.
