What is Propertyrec
Property search service with paid reports
Propertyrec is an online property records service that sells access to detailed reports about homes and real estate. Based on the published pricing, you can buy a single report for $1.00 (₱56) or subscribe to larger report bundles such as 60 reports for 3 months and 240 reports for 12 months. The service focuses on property information such as ownership history, tax assessments, mortgage details, and legal claims where available.
Some Philippine users land on Propertyrec after searching for an address or a property owner online, then realize later that the service is not just a free lookup site. Here is the thing: the paid part is the report access. If you signed up quickly and now want out, the cancellation path exists, but it relies on support contact instead of a simple self-serve cancel button published in the research data.
What users actually pay for
The core product is report access. According to the pricing data, the entry option is 1 Report for $1.00 (₱56), while larger packages raise the total cost sharply to $60.00 (₱3,390) for 60 reports over 3 months and $240.00 (₱13,560) for 240 reports over 12 months. Each report may include ownership history, tax data, mortgage information, and legal claims when available.
This matters for cancellation because many complaints are not about using the reports themselves, but about ongoing charges users say they did not fully expect. Reviews mention recurring charges such as $20 [about ₱1,130], which is why you should identify exactly which plan or billing arrangement is attached to your card before contacting support.
How the service behaves in the Philippines
Propertyrec does not publish Philippine peso billing as its native pricing. The listed prices are in US dollars, so Philippine users usually see a foreign currency charge converted by their bank, card issuer, GCash-linked card, or Maya card. No Philippine-specific office, hotline, or local cancellation address was found in the verified data.
Support is still available to Philippine users through 24/7 channels: live chat on the website, phone at 1-866-242-0544, and email at [email protected]. Email replies are typically said to arrive within 2 to 3 hours (propertyrec.com). No local language support for Filipino was specified, so you should expect the process to happen in English.
Business model and what may have happened when you signed up
The truth is, Propertyrec’s subscription setup is less clear than it should be. The terms data provided for this guide does not clearly specify auto-renewal, commitment duration, free trial terms, or a cooling-off rule in the service terms. That gap is exactly why some users feel blindsided when they later spot repeat charges.
If you used the service for a one-off lookup, do not assume your account closes itself after the first report. Review your email receipts and card statement right away. If you see a recurring amount or a support page reference tied to cancellation, treat it as active until Propertyrec confirms the account has been closed.
Checks to do before you contact support
Many users get frustrated when cancellation feels unclear, especially after they already saw a charge on their card. Before you start, take 5 minutes to gather proof. Screenshot your account page, your latest receipt, and the last charge on your bank or card statement. This makes the support chat much faster.
Also note your billing date if you can find it in your account email or payment record. Since the terms data does not clearly state auto-renew timing, your safest move is to cancel as soon as possible and not wait until the last day. Save any property reports you want to keep before you request closure, because post-cancellation access is not clearly explained in the available terms.
- Screenshot your current plan or recent order page
- Save the last 4 digits of the card charged
- Note the exact charged amount, such as $20.00 (₱1,130)
- Download any report you may still need
- Prepare the email address used for signup
Using the official cancellation page and live chat
The official cancellation help page is Propertyrec cancellation page. Based on the verified support instructions, Propertyrec asks users to contact support by live chat, phone, or email to cancel. In practice, the fastest route appears to be live chat because it gives you real-time interaction and immediate written proof.
If you are already logged in on Propertyrec.com, open the live chat feature on the website and state your request clearly in the first message. A direct script helps: “Please cancel my Propertyrec subscription today and send written confirmation by email. My account email is [your email], and the recent charge was $X.XX (₱Y).” Short and direct usually works better than a long explanation.
Heads up: research did not identify a dark pattern such as a hidden retention page, but users did report that cancellation requires contacting support instead of clicking a single visible cancel button. If the chat agent offers troubleshooting or asks why you want to leave, repeat your request and ask for a cancellation reference number before ending the chat.
Canceling by phone or email
You can also cancel by phone at 1-866-242-0544. Support is listed as available 24/7, which is useful for users in the Philippines because you do not need to wait for US office hours. If you call, have your email address, payment amount, and the date of the last charge ready before the agent picks up.
Email is the second best paper trail because Propertyrec says email inquiries usually receive a reply within 2 to 3 hours (propertyrec.com). Send your request to [email protected] with a subject line like “Cancel subscription and stop future charges.” In the message, include your full name, signup email, last charge amount, date, and a direct request for both cancellation and confirmation.
- Phone: 1-866-242-0544
- Email: [email protected]
- Hours: 24/7 support
- Expected email reply: 2 to 3 hours
Sending a formal written notice by mail
If you want extra proof, you can send a cancellation notice by registered mail to the postal address listed for formal notices. This is slower than chat or email, but it gives you a mailing record. Some users prefer this when they are already dealing with billing disputes or repeated charges.
A modern alternative also exists if you do not want to visit a post office. Services such as Postclic let you send a certified digital letter with timestamped proof of sending, receipt, and opening. That can help if you want stronger evidence without relying only on screenshots and email threads.
Once you cancel, what changes on your account
Access to reports and account status
Propertyrec states that cancellations are processed promptly, but the available terms data does not say whether access continues until the end of a billing cycle or stops right away. Because that point is not clearly published, assume your access could change as soon as support processes the request. Download any report you may need before starting cancellation.
If support confirms closure by chat or email, save that message immediately. For practical purposes, your useful end date is the timestamp on the confirmation. If the company later bills you again, that timestamp becomes your key evidence for a refund request or a bank dispute.
If you do not cancel in time
The service terms available for this guide do not clearly state the auto-renewal clause. That does not mean renewal cannot happen. User complaints about recurring $20 charges [about ₱1,130] suggest some accounts continue billing unless the user actively contacts support to stop it.
If you used Propertyrec only once, do not rely on inactivity. Not logging in is not the same as cancellation. If you see a fresh charge after your first use, contact support the same day and request both cancellation and a refund review through the same support ticket.
What happens to your data
No clear data retention rule was found in the terms data for this guide. Propertyrec does not specify how long account details, search history, or purchased reports remain available after cancellation. Because of that, do not leave important files sitting in the account.
Before closing the account, save PDFs, screenshots of your billing page, and the cancellation transcript. If support gives you a case number, keep it with your payment evidence. That small step can save hours if you need to complain to your bank, DTI, or BSP later.
Refund policy and disputed charges with Propertyrec
What the refund page says in plain language
Many users in the Philippines get upset not only because cancellation is hard to find, but because refunds can feel uncertain after a charge has already hit the card. Propertyrec says that if you are dissatisfied with the service for any reason, you may request a refund by phone, email, or live chat, and support is available 24/7 (propertyrec.com). That is helpful, but it is still a request process, not an automatic refund promise.
The company also says email inquiries usually receive a response within 2 to 3 hours (propertyrec.com). No exact refund timeline in business days was published in the research data. No cancellation fee and no early termination fee were found in the terms data, which is good news if you are trying to stop future charges quickly.
How to ask for a refund and improve your odds
The best refund request is specific. Include the charge date, exact amount, account email, and the reason. If the charge was unexpected, say so clearly. If you canceled and were still billed, mention the date and attach your cancellation proof. Users who present complete evidence usually move through support faster than users who only say “please refund me.”
A simple wording works well: “I am requesting a refund for the charge of $20.00 (₱1,130) posted on [date]. I canceled my account on [date], and I am attaching the confirmation.” If you are using chat, ask the agent to email the refund decision before you close the session.
- Request the refund through live chat, email, or phone
- Attach screenshots of the charge and cancellation proof
- Ask for a case or reference number
- Save the reply in one folder for follow-up
Your rights in the Philippines for refunds and chargebacks
For Philippine users, online purchases do not have a universal statutory cooling-off period. Under local guidance tied to the Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394, door-to-door or direct sales can have a 7 working day cooling-off period, but that rule does not automatically cover every online subscription. In simple terms, Propertyrec does not clearly promise a cooling-off period in its published terms, so your strongest route is often a prompt refund request backed by proof.
If the charge looks unauthorized or continued after cancellation, you can request a chargeback from your bank, credit card issuer, GCash, or Maya. BSP rules generally give cardholders up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction. DTI handles consumer complaints for online subscriptions under RA 7394, so keep screenshots, email confirmations, and chat transcripts in case the issue escalates.
Terms and subscription conditions that Propertyrec does not clearly spell out
Missing terms that matter to paying users
The available terms data for this guide does not clearly specify the auto-renewal clause, commitment duration, free trial conversion, data retention after cancellation, applicable law, or dispute resolution. That lack of detail is a problem because these are exactly the points users check when they are trying to avoid repeat billing.
In practical terms, if a service does not clearly spell out how renewal works, you should act conservatively. Assume the account may continue unless support confirms closure. Save the confirmation and monitor the next billing cycle rather than trusting that a one-time use naturally ends the relationship.
What this means for a Philippine user
If you subscribed from the Philippines, the gap in the published terms does not cancel your rights under local consumer law. It does mean you should create your own evidence trail. Do not depend on memory alone if a $20.00 (₱1,130) or similar charge reappears on your statement next month.
The cleanest approach is simple: cancel through support, request written confirmation, ask whether any refund will be issued, and verify your statement after the next billing date. That process is more work than it should be, but it is the safest way to avoid a long dispute later.
Propertyrec plans and pricing in Philippine peso
Published plan prices
Plan | Price (USD / PHP) | Period | What you get |
1 Report | $1.00 (₱56)* | One-time | Single property report |
60 Reports | $60.00 (₱3,390)* | 3 months | 20 reports monthly |
240 Reports | $240.00 (₱13,560)* | 12 months | 20 reports monthly |
Prices are approximate, converted from USD at the rate 1 USD ≈ 56.5 PHP. Check the official website for exact local prices and card conversion charges.
Which plan costs the most and which costs the least
The cheapest published option is the 1 Report offer at $1.00 (₱56). The most expensive is the 240 Reports plan at $240.00 (₱13,560) over 12 months. On a total cash basis, the annual bundle is by far the biggest commitment.
If you only needed one address lookup, the larger bundles can be overkill. The 60-report and 240-report plans only make sense if you expect to use about 20 reports each month. If that is not your pattern, you may be paying for unused report capacity.
Billing value and what to watch for
Both larger packages effectively price each report at about $1.00 (₱56) if you fully use the included volume. The difference is not lower price per report, but longer commitment and higher total exposure. That means the annual package does not really save money per report compared with the 3-month package based on the published numbers.
No cancellation fee was found in the terms, and no price increase history was provided in the research data. Still, because charges are in USD, your final peso cost can rise slightly due to exchange rate movement and foreign transaction fees from your card issuer.
Consumer rights in the Philippines when Propertyrec charges continue
Laws that matter for this kind of subscription issue
For Philippine users, the main law to know is the Consumer Act of the Philippines, Republic Act No. 7394. If a subscription charge is unclear, misleading, or continues after cancellation, DTI is the government body most people deal with for consumer complaints involving online services. In plain language, RA 7394 gives you a path to challenge unfair or deceptive business practices.
The local guidance in this research also notes a 7 working day cooling-off period for door-to-door or direct sales. For online subscriptions, there is no universal cooling-off rule that automatically covers every transaction. That means with Propertyrec, the practical focus is proof of cancellation, proof of charge, and quick action through support or your payment provider.
How to use your rights in a Propertyrec dispute
If Propertyrec confirms cancellation but your card is still charged, you can file a complaint with DTI and also open a dispute with your bank or e-wallet provider. For card disputes in the Philippines, BSP-related complaint processes generally allow up to 60 days from the statement date. Do not wait for several billing cycles if the charge is already on your statement.
Your file should include the charge amount, the date it posted, screenshots of the cancellation confirmation, and the exact support messages you received. This is where many users lose leverage. A bank is more likely to reverse a charge if you can show a clean timeline with dates and evidence.
Where to complain and what to submit
For consumer complaints, start with DTI and prepare one PDF folder or screenshot set. Include your name, contact details, service name, charge amount, payment method, and the outcome you want, such as refund plus cancellation. If the payment issue involves your card issuer, GCash, or Maya, contact that provider on the same day you submit your complaint.
- Consumer law: Republic Act No. 7394
- Main agency: Department of Trade and Industry
- Financial disputes: Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
- Key evidence: cancellation proof and statement screenshot
Useful authority contacts
For Philippine consumer complaints, you can use the official DTI website and the BSP website for payment disputes. Since Propertyrec does not clearly spell out several subscription terms, these public channels matter if support does not resolve the issue within a reasonable time.
When filing, be brief and factual. State the amount, date, and what happened after you tried to cancel. Agencies and banks respond better to a short timeline than to a long emotional message.
What customers say about canceling and refunds
Overall verdict from available reviews
Based on 5 unique reviews in the research set, the cancellation experience looks mixed: 2 positive and 3 negative. My read is simple: Propertyrec can be easy to cancel when support responds quickly, but the overall process still feels risky because some users only noticed charges later or had to chase a refund.
That pattern matches the common issues reported in the research. Users often dislike having to cancel through live chat, phone, or email instead of using a direct online cancel button. Email response is said to be around 2 to 3 hours, but delays can still feel stressful when a billing date is close.

Documents and screenshots to prepare before and after cancellation
What to save before you cancel
Before you contact Propertyrec, collect the account basics in one folder. Save a screenshot of your plan page, the support page you used, and the most recent charge. If your payment came through a bank card, GCash card, or Maya card, capture the transaction line with date and amount.
This prep matters because Propertyrec’s terms do not clearly spell out several billing conditions. If support later asks for account verification, you can answer quickly with facts instead of guessing from memory.
- Account email address screenshot
- Plan or order screen capture
- Charge amount and posting date
- Last 4 card digits if visible
What to keep for refunds and disputes
For refund requests, the most useful items are the transaction ID, statement screenshot, chat transcript, and the cancellation confirmation email. If you speak by phone, write down the time, date, and agent name right after the call. That handwritten note can still help if you need to explain the sequence to your bank.
After cancellation, keep monitoring your statement through the next billing date. If a new charge appears, your evidence set is already complete enough for a DTI complaint or a bank chargeback request.
Common mistakes that make Propertyrec cancellation harder
Waiting after a one-time use
A common mistake is assuming that buying or using one report ends everything automatically. Reviews about recurring $20 charges [about ₱1,130] suggest some users only realized later that billing continued. If you used the service once for a quick property lookup, cancel immediately after you are done.
The fix is simple: request cancellation the same day and ask for written confirmation. Do not rely on inactivity or logout status.
Ending the chat without proof
Another mistake is closing live chat once the agent says “done” without asking for a case number or email confirmation. That feels fine in the moment, but it becomes a headache if another charge appears on your next statement. A screenshot of the closed chat window is better than nothing, but a confirmation email is stronger.
Your solution is to ask one clear follow-up question before leaving: “Please email me confirmation that the subscription is canceled and no future charges will be made.” Save both the chat image and the email.
Requesting a refund without transaction details
Some users ask for a refund with only a general complaint and no supporting details. That slows things down. Support can process your request faster if you provide the exact amount, date, and payment method in the first message.
A real-world example is a user who was waiting on a $30 refund [about ₱1,695]. If that is your situation, include the amount and the support promise in your follow-up so the case stays tied to a specific charge.
Ignoring the next statement cycle
Many people cancel and then stop checking. That is risky when the service does not clearly publish all billing rules. Even if Propertyrec processes cancellations promptly, your safest habit is to review the next statement after the billing date passes.
Set a calendar reminder for 35 days after cancellation. That covers statement delays and gives you enough time to dispute a charge within the usual 60 day bank dispute window in the Philippines.
Using only one contact route in a billing dispute
If a charge already posted, relying on one unanswered email can waste precious time. Propertyrec offers 24/7 live chat, phone, and email. Use at least two channels when money is already involved, such as live chat plus email on the same day.
This is not about being aggressive. It is about creating a better paper trail. One real-time contact and one written contact usually produce cleaner evidence if you later need a chargeback.
Propertyrec cancellation methods compared
Side by side comparison
Method | Notice period | Fee | Difficulty |
Web/account | Before next billing date | No fee found | Easy |
Email | Before next billing date | No fee found | Medium |
Phone | Before next billing date | No fee found | Medium |
Registered mail | 5-10 business days | No fee found | Higher, best proof |
Key takeaway for choosing a method
Each route solves a different problem. Live chat is usually fastest for same-day action, email is useful for a written trail, phone is good when timing matters, and registered mail works when you want formal proof. Since no self-serve cancel path was clearly published, the best choice depends on whether your priority is speed or evidence.
If your billing date is close, combine methods. For example, use live chat now and send an email right after. If you are already disputing charges, add a formal written notice as backup.
After canceling, how to make sure Propertyrec is really closed
Immediate steps after support says it is canceled
As soon as Propertyrec confirms cancellation, take screenshots of the chat, email, or account message. Save the date and local time in the Philippines. Then create a calendar reminder for the next expected billing date plus 3 to 5 days so you can check whether another charge appears.
If support promised a refund, note the promised amount exactly, such as $30.00 (₱1,695). If no refund timeline was given, follow up within 3 business days and ask for the status using the same ticket or email thread.
How long to monitor your bank or e-wallet
Monitor your bank, credit card, GCash, or Maya statement through at least one full billing cycle. Look for the same merchant name, a repeated amount such as $20.00 (₱1,130), or any authorization hold that later posts as a completed transaction.
If an unauthorized or continued charge appears, contact your payment provider immediately and ask about a chargeback. In the Philippines, cardholders typically have up to 60 days from the statement date to dispute a transaction under BSP-related rules, and DTI can handle the consumer complaint side under RA 7394.
Alternatives if you still need property information
If you cancel Propertyrec but still need property-related services, a few alternatives were identified in the research. Philippine Property Hub offers listings, news, and buyer-seller resources, with free access and premium listings on request. Property Care Philippines focuses more on property management and maintenance rather than records lookup.
Another option is Philippines Properties, which covers sales, rentals, and property management across the country. These are not exact clones of Propertyrec, but they may be more relevant if your goal is local property information in the Philippines rather than US-style records searching.
Useful links
Propertyrec cancellation address and mailing details
Postal address for formal cancellation notices
If you want to send a physical cancellation notice, no Philippine cancellation address was found in the research data. The available mailing address is in the United States, so delivery will take longer and may not be practical if your billing date is near.
Use the address below exactly as written if you choose mail as part of your paper trail:
- P.O. Box 1228, Norwalk, CA 90651, USA
If you send a letter, include your account email, full name, last charge amount, and a direct instruction to cancel the subscription and stop future billing.
Best way to use the address in real life
The address is useful as a backup, not as the only action when time matters. For Philippine users, the practical route is to contact Propertyrec through live chat, phone, or email first, then use postal mail if you need an additional record for a dispute.
If you are already dealing with a continued charge, pair your written notice with a same-day message to [email protected] and a screenshot from live chat. That combination gives you speed, timestamps, and stronger proof if you later need DTI or BSP help.
