Common questions
Common questions about Cancellation confirmation log
What proof should I save after canceling a subscription?
Save the confirmation, request date, effective date, account identifier, reference number, final charge or refund terms, and any equipment-return evidence.
Is deleting an account the same as canceling billing?
Not always. Confirm that the subscription or recurring billing is canceled before deleting access to the evidence.
What if a service charges me after cancellation?
Check the effective date and terms, contact the provider with your evidence, record the response, and use the payment provider’s dispute process when appropriate.
How long should cancellation proof be kept?
Keep it through the expected final billing and any relevant dispute or refund period; longer retention may be sensible for costly or contractual services.
When should I update the completed template?
Update it after a material change, new source document, completed action, or exception. Keep the prior version when the decision history matters.
