What should you do if a subscription charges you after cancellation?
This is a frequently asked billing problems question selected by the Subs Radar editorial team. The researched editorial answer below is a starting point; members can add relevant experience without posting personal, medical, financial, or account details.
Compare the cancellation effective date with the charge period, preserve confirmation and statements, contact the merchant in writing, and use the payment provider's current dispute options if the issue remains unresolved. Use the same sequence each time so that two people working from the same facts can understand how the result was reached. Pending authorizations, separate accounts, taxes, add-ons, and notice periods can make a charge appear post-cancellation when the timeline differs. Use the provider's current official instructions and applicable consumer-protection or payment-dispute channels. Do not share passwords, one-time codes, or full payment details with an untrusted service.
