What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, access to subscription features typically continues until the end of the paid period. You will lose premium search and report access once the subscription period expires.
Auto-renewal and billing
Cancellation stops future auto-renewal charges but does not automatically refund already charged periods. Make sure to cancel before the renewal date to avoid the next billing cycle.
Data and account retention
BeenVerified retains account and search data according to its privacy policy. Cancellation usually does not immediately delete stored account information; check their policy or contact support to request removal.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
BeenVerified does not publish a clear, universal "14‑day right of withdrawal" for all users. Refunds are handled case-by-case and are at the company's discretion.
Exceptions and dispute risks
- Partial or full refunds may be possible in certain situations, but outcomes vary.
- Filing a chargeback or dispute before contacting BeenVerified can delay or void refund prospects and may lead to account suspension.
- Keep records of communications and transactions if you request a refund or file a dispute.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
Relevant Nigerian law
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018 provides protections against unfair or deceptive trade practices and unclear pricing. These laws may apply to subscription services offered to Nigerian consumers.
How these rights may help
- If auto-renewal, misleading pricing or cancellation failures occurred, you may have grounds to complain under Nigerian consumer protection rules.
- Document promotional offers, receipts and communication when seeking enforcement or redress.
Practical steps in Nigeria
If BeenVerified does not resolve a billing or cancellation issue, consider contacting Nigeria's consumer protection authorities or your payment provider to report potential unfair practices.
Customer experiences
Positive experiences
Some customers report straightforward cancellations and successful outcomes when contacting support via the website or app store subscriptions. Verified reviews show instances of easy resolution.
Negative experiences
Other users report unexpected auto-renewals after trials, difficulty cancelling for extended periods, and challenges obtaining refunds. Complaints include inaccurate data and unclear promotional pricing.
What this means
- Outcomes vary: success often depends on the cancellation method used and prompt communication.
- Keeping clear records improves your chance of a favorable result.
Documentation checklist
Essential items to gather
- Account email address and member ID (if available).
- Transaction receipts, billing statements and dates of charges.
- Copies/screenshots of promotional offers or trial terms that applied.
- Records of prior cancellation attempts and any support responses.
Optional but helpful items
- Device receipts if subscribed via Apple or Google.
- Bank or card statements showing the specific charge to BeenVerified.
- Saved chat transcripts or emails with support staff.
Common mistakes
Relying only on email
Some users email support and assume the account is cancelled immediately. Without confirmation, charges can continue. Always obtain written confirmation of cancellation or a transaction ID.
Cancelling the app but not the subscription
Deleting the mobile app does not stop recurring billing. You must cancel within Apple or Google subscription settings or via the website to prevent renewal.
Filing chargebacks too early
Immediately opening a dispute with your bank before contacting BeenVerified can complicate refunds and may result in account suspension. Try contacting BeenVerified first and document your attempts.
