What happens when you cancel

Access and renewal

Data and account

Your account remains accessible while your paid period remains active. Checkmyfile’s help pages explain what happens after cancellation and how your account data is treated.

Will I get a refund?

General policy

Payments are generally non-refundable under Checkmyfile’s terms except in specific situations. You normally retain access until the end of any paid period but do not receive a pro-rata refund for unused time.

Exceptions and cooling-off

• There is a legal 14-calendar-day cooling-off right noted in Checkmyfile’s terms (FCA CONC 11.1) allowing cancellation without penalty within that period.
• If Checkmyfile cannot obtain credit data from an agency after attempts, a pro-rata refund may be issued on application within 14 days.

Your consumer rights in South Africa

General guidance for South African consumers

Checkmyfile is a UK-based service and its terms reference UK consumer rules. South African consumers should note that local consumer law may differ from the provider’s stated terms.

Practical steps to protect your rights

• Keep copies of sign-up confirmations, emails and payment receipts when subscribing or cancelling.
• If you need specific legal interpretation of your rights in South Africa, consult a local consumer advice service or legal advisor.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

• Users report detailed, consolidated credit data and useful dispute-raising tools for identity or credit errors.
• Many praise the dashboard and customer support when issues are resolved through the service.

Negative feedback

• Some users report difficulty cancelling, unexpected recurring charges, or confusing trial sign-up flows.
• Cancellations made through app stores are frequently reported as unreliable; cancelling via the web, email or phone is recommended.

Documentation checklist

What to have ready when cancelling

• Your Checkmyfile account email and username.
• Order or subscription reference (if available).
• Payment method details (last 4 digits of card, payment date) to help match invoices.

Evidence for disputed charges or data issues

• Copies/screenshots of billing history and any confirmation emails.
• Identity documents and correspondence if you are disputing unauthorised activity or fraud.

Common mistakes

Relying on app-store cancellation

Cancelling via the App Store or Google Play may not stop your Checkmyfile subscription. Users frequently report that app-store actions alone do not cancel the provider-side subscription.

Not keeping confirmation

Failing to keep written confirmation of cancellation is a common problem. Always save email confirmations or request a confirmation via the Conversations tab to avoid future billing disputes.
