Frequently asked questions
Cancel Checkmyfile: The Right Way
How to cancel Checkmyfile in canada and protect your consumer rights
What is Checkmyfile and why cancellation might be right for you
Checkmyfile is a credit monitoring service that pulls reports from multiple Canadian and international credit reporting agencies, delivering daily updates so you can spot errors, track your financial health, and prepare for major applications such as mortgages or loans. Many Canadian consumers use it to catch identity theft early and resolve credit discrepancies before they harm their credit score.
Your decision to cancel is entirely valid. Whether you have completed your mortgage application, resolved the credit issues you were monitoring, or determined the monthly fee no longer fits your budget, you have the legal right to end your subscription without penalty. At Yafee, we guide thousands of Canadian consumers through subscription cancellations every year, and we understand the importance of clear, legally-grounded instructions.
When you should consider cancelling Checkmyfile
Cancel Checkmyfile if you no longer need daily credit monitoring, if your credit file status is stable, or if the recurring monthly cost does not justify the value you receive. The service offers a 30-day free trial, which is ideal for testing whether consolidated reports from multiple agencies justify the subscription fee.
What access you lose after cancellation
Upon cancellation, you lose access to daily credit updates, consolidated reports from multiple agencies, and the ability to dispute discrepancies through the Checkmyfile platform. Nevertheless, you retain your statutory right to request one free annual credit report directly from Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada under the consumer protection framework that governs credit reporting in your province.
Your cancellation methods and which route suits your situation
Checkmyfile provides three distinct cancellation routes, each suited to different preferences and circumstances.
Online self-service cancellation through your account dashboard
The fastest and most convenient route is through your Checkmyfile account dashboard. Log in, navigate to your billing settings, and submit your cancellation request within seconds. You receive immediate email confirmation and a secure message record that Yafee recommends archiving for your protection.
Email or secure message cancellation
If you prefer direct written communication or encounter technical issues with the online dashboard, you can email your cancellation request to Checkmyfile's support team. This method creates a documented written trail and is ideal if you have billing questions before you cancel.
Formal postal cancellation with registered mail
For consumers who want irrefutable proof of cancellation or who distrust digital methods, sending a signed cancellation letter by registered mail with return receipt is the most legally robust approach. This method protects you in future disputes and ensures the company cannot claim they never received your request.
Step-by-step instructions for cancelling your Checkmyfile account
Follow these detailed steps to cancel your account across each method, with legal safeguards and practical warnings embedded at every stage.
How to cancel Checkmyfile via your online account dashboard
- Log into your Checkmyfile account using your registered email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot password?" link and reset it via your email inbox.
- Click your account initials or profile icon in the top right corner of the dashboard.
- This opens your account menu; search for "Settings," "My Account," or "Billing."
- Navigate to the Billing tab or Subscription Management section.
- Critical step: Record your current plan name, next billing date, and payment method before you proceed.
- Locate and click the "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel membership" button.
- You may be prompted to select a cancellation reason; choose the option that best reflects your situation.
- Review the cancellation summary and confirm your decision.
- Check whether you are entitled to a refund (see the refunds section below) and note the effective cancellation date.
- Click the final "Confirm cancellation" button.
- Your account is now marked for termination. You receive an email confirmation within 2 hours.
- Save your confirmation email and screenshot the cancellation summary page.
- Keep these records for at least 12 months in case of billing disputes.
How to cancel Checkmyfile by email or secure message
- Compose a cancellation email or secure message to Checkmyfile's support address.
- Include your full name, registered email address, and account number (found in your billing statement or account settings).
- Clearly state your intention to cancel your subscription effective immediately.
- Write: "I request that my Checkmyfile subscription be cancelled effective immediately" or on a specific date.
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation from the support team.
- Write: "Please confirm this cancellation request in writing by return email."
- Send the email and retain the sent copy and any confirmation receipt.
- If sending by secure message through the Checkmyfile platform, screenshot the conversation thread.
- Wait for confirmation from Checkmyfile support (typically 24 to 48 hours).
- If you do not receive confirmation within 3 business days, escalate to your provincial consumer authority (see "Your legal position" below).
- Archive the confirmation email indefinitely.
- This is your proof of cancellation and is invaluable if Checkmyfile attempts to charge you after termination.
How to cancel Checkmyfile by registered postal mail
- Obtain the correct mailing address for Checkmyfile's legal entity in Canada.
- Use the address listed in the terms and conditions under "Notice to Consumers" or "Corporate Address." For formal notices in Canada, use: Checkmyfile Canada Inc., registered office address (confirm current address on their website).
- Draft a formal cancellation letter on plain white paper.
- Include your full name, registered email, account number, current address, and the date you are sending the letter.
- State clearly: "I hereby cancel my Checkmyfile subscription effective immediately" or specify a cancellation date 14 days in the future.
- Request written confirmation by return email and provide your email address.
- Sign the letter by hand in blue or black ink.
- Do not print your signature; a handwritten signature strengthens the legal force of your notice.
- Make two photocopies of the signed letter.
- Keep one copy in your personal records and send one to Checkmyfile.
- Send the original letter by registered mail with return receipt requested (raccomandata with ricevuta di ritorno equivalent: Canada Post "Signature Confirmation" or "Registered Mail").
- This ensures you have proof of delivery and the sender's signature.
- Keep the return receipt, tracking number, and photocopy together in a safe place.
- These documents form the legal evidence that Checkmyfile received your cancellation notice.
- Allow 5 to 10 business days for the letter to reach the company and for them to process it.
- If you are not charged after the stated cancellation date, your cancellation is complete.
Your legal position under canadian consumer protection law
Your right to cancel a subscription service is protected under federal and provincial consumer protection legislation. In Canada, the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection statutes (such as the Consumer Protection Act in Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta) require that subscription services allow you to cancel without penalty and without automatic renewal charges after your cancellation takes effect.
Furthermore, if you signed up during a free trial period, the company cannot charge you unless you affirmatively consent to the paid subscription. If Checkmyfile charges you after your cancellation is confirmed, you have the legal right to dispute the charge with your credit card issuer or bank.
Your legal position in summary
You have the right to:
- Cancel your subscription at any time without penalty.
- Receive confirmation of your cancellation in writing.
- Refuse automatic renewal charges after your cancellation date.
- Dispute unauthorized charges with your financial institution.
- Lodge a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority if the company refuses to honour your cancellation.
If Checkmyfile refuses to cancel or continues to charge you after cancellation, file a complaint with the Office of Consumer Affairs (federal) or your provincial consumer protection agency (Ontario: Consumer Protection Branch; British Columbia: Consumer Protection BC; Alberta: Service Alberta). Yafee has assisted hundreds of Canadians in escalating disputes with subscription services to these authorities, and we recommend exhausting the company's internal dispute process first.
Refunds, billing cycles, and what happens to your next payment
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel within your current billing cycle and Checkmyfile's refund policy.
Refund eligibility and timeline
If you cancel within the first 14 days of signing up, you are entitled to a full refund under most consumer protection regimes in Canada (this aligns with federal "cooling-off" principles). If you cancel after 14 days, refund eligibility depends on Checkmyfile's policy and the specific date of cancellation within your billing cycle.
If you cancel before your next billing date, you should not be charged again. The company must stop all recurring charges upon receiving your confirmed cancellation. If you are charged after your cancellation date, contact your credit card issuer or bank immediately and dispute the transaction.
How to request a refund
When you cancel online, the dashboard may prompt you to confirm whether you want a refund. Select "Yes" and note any refund processing timeframe displayed. If you cancel by email or postal mail, explicitly request a refund in your cancellation message: "Please issue a refund of [amount] to the original payment method." Refunds typically process within 5 to 10 business days after cancellation is confirmed.
| Cancellation timing | Refund eligibility | Processing time |
|---|---|---|
| Within 14 days of sign-up | Full refund (cooling-off period) | 5-10 business days |
| After 14 days, before next billing date | Prorated refund (company discretion or policy) | 5-10 business days |
| On or after next billing date | No refund; cancellation effective immediately | N/A |
| During free trial period | Full refund (no charges incurred) | N/A |
What happens to your account and data after cancellation
Once your cancellation takes effect, your Checkmyfile account access terminates immediately. You can no longer log in, view your credit reports, or dispute discrepancies through the platform. Your archived data (previously downloaded reports and dispute records) may remain on file for up to 90 days, after which Checkmyfile deletes it in accordance with its privacy policy.
If you want to preserve your credit report data, download and save copies of all reports and dispute correspondence before you submit your cancellation request. At Yafee, we recommend exporting your credit history to PDF format and storing it securely for your records.
Common mistakes that delay or complicate cancellation
Cancellation disputes are rare when you follow clear procedures, but preventable errors can trigger billing issues or delays. Below are the pitfalls Yafee has identified in our work with Canadian consumers.
Mistake 1: cancelling without confirming your subscription details
Before you initiate cancellation, verify your current billing date, next charge date, and subscription tier. Many consumers cancel and then discover they were charged for a service they thought was already terminated. Screenshot your billing page before you cancel.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is complete without written confirmation
Do not rely on in-app messages or verbal confirmations. Demand a written email confirmation or return receipt. If Checkmyfile refuses to provide written proof, escalate to your credit card issuer or provincial consumer authority immediately.
Mistake 3: forgetting to disable auto-renewal in app settings
On some platforms, clicking "Cancel subscription" does not automatically disable auto-renewal. Check your account settings after you cancel to verify that auto-renewal is switched off. If it remains enabled, contact support and ask them to manually disable it.
Mistake 4: not checking your credit card statement after cancellation
Review your credit card or bank statement for the 30 days following your cancellation date. If Checkmyfile charges you after the cancellation is confirmed, dispute the charge with your bank immediately. Most banks honour disputes for unauthorized subscription charges within 60 days.
Mistake 5: ignoring the return receipt or confirmation deadline
If you cancel by postal mail, track your return receipt closely. If the company signature shows they received the letter, you have ironclad proof. If the letter is rejected or marked "Return to Sender," resend it by email and registered mail simultaneously.
Cancellation checklist and record-keeping

Comparing cancellation methods at a glance
Each cancellation route has distinct advantages and legal weight. Choose the method that matches your comfort level and documentation needs.
| Method | Speed | Proof of receipt | Legal strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online dashboard (fastest) | Instant | Email confirmation | Moderate (depends on email retention) |
| Email or secure message | 24-48 hours | Email confirmation | Strong (written record) |
| Registered postal mail (strongest) | 5-10 days | Return receipt signature | Strongest (legally irrefutable) |
If Checkmyfile refuses to cancel or continues charging you
If Checkmyfile ignores your cancellation request or charges you after your cancellation date, take these escalation steps in order.
Step 1: dispute the charge with your credit card or bank
Contact your credit card issuer or bank and report the unauthorized or recurring charge as a billing dispute. Provide your cancellation confirmation email or postal receipt as evidence. Your financial institution has a legal obligation to investigate within 30 to 60 days and can reverse the charge.
Step 2: file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority
If the charge remains unresolved, lodge a complaint with your provincial consumer protection agency. In Ontario, contact the Consumer Protection Branch. In British Columbia, contact Consumer Protection BC. In Alberta, contact Service Alberta. In other provinces, search "[your province] consumer protection agency." These bodies investigate complaints and can order refunds or penalties against the company.
Step 3: report the company to the canadian Anti-Fraud centre
If you believe Checkmyfile is engaging in systematic unauthorized billing or fraud, report the company to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca). This creates a public record and may trigger regulatory investigation.
