Cancel Lawdepot: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Lawdepot and stop recurring charges in canada
What Lawdepot is and when you should cancel
Lawdepot is an online legal-document platform that enables Canadian users to create, download and customize contracts, wills, powers of attorney, lease agreements and other legal forms without hiring a lawyer. You can purchase individual documents as a one-time transaction (typically CAD $19 to $24 per document) or subscribe to unlimited monthly access for CAD $39 per month.
Many Canadians choose Lawdepot for straightforward legal documents. However, if you have completed the documents you needed, no longer require regular access to legal templates, or have switched to a competing service, cancelling your subscription immediately prevents unwanted renewal charges and protects your monthly budget. Yafee has guided thousands of Canadian consumers through this process with clarity and confidence.
Reasons to cancel your Lawdepot subscription
You should cancel if your immediate legal needs are satisfied and you do not anticipate requiring fresh documents in the next billing cycle. If Lawdepot continues charging your card after you attempted cancellation, or if you never authorized recurring billing in the first place, cancellation becomes urgent. Yafee recommends cancelling before your next renewal date to avoid paying for unused access. Charges typically process on the same day each month, so act at least five business days beforehand.
Common obstacles when cancelling Lawdepot
Lawdepot does not always highlight cancellation options prominently. Many users report that online cancellation attempts appear to succeed but charges continue regardless. This occurs because the platform may process cancellation requests slowly, lose them entirely, or require confirmation via email that never arrives. This is precisely why Yafee emphasizes documenting every cancellation step and using multiple methods-email, phone, and registered mail-to ensure your request takes effect.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Canadian consumer protection legislation and federal competition law give you enforceable rights when dealing with automatic renewal services like Lawdepot.
What canadian law requires from automatic renewal companies
Under provincial Consumer Protection Acts (Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and others) and the federal Competition Act, any company offering automatic renewal must fulfill these obligations:
- Clearly disclose the renewal terms, amount and frequency before you complete your purchase
- Obtain your explicit, informed consent to automatic renewal before charging you
- Send you a reminder notification before each renewal (mandated in most provinces)
- Make cancellation accessible and simple-as easy as the purchase process itself
- Provide clear, itemized receipts and billing statements for every charge
- Process your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe, typically 15 to 30 days
If Lawdepot failed to send you a pre-renewal reminder, obscured the renewal date in fine print, deliberately buried the cancellation link, or refused to confirm your cancellation in writing, the company has likely breached these statutory requirements. Document all such failures-they strengthen any dispute with your credit card issuer or complaint filed with your provincial regulator.
Your legal position and escalation path
If Lawdepot ignores your cancellation request, denies a refund you believe you are entitled to, or continues charging after you cancelled, you have multiple enforcement options. First, contact your bank or credit card company and dispute the charge as unauthorized or as a failure to honour a cancellation request. Most financial institutions reverse erroneous recurring charges within 30 to 60 days and can force the merchant to repay. Second, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection office (examples: Service Alberta, Ontario's Service Integrity Unit, or Consumer Protection BC). Third, escalate to the Better Business Bureau Canada at bbb.org, which aggregates complaints and applies pressure on repeat offenders. Finally, for smaller amounts, small claims court is affordable and effective-you need only evidence of your cancellation attempts and Lawdepot's continued charges. Yafee has observed that many consumers succeed simply by sending a formal cancellation letter via registered mail to Lawdepot's Canadian office and copying it to their provincial consumer authority. The prospect of regulatory action frequently motivates a swift refund.
Step-by-step methods to cancel Lawdepot
Lawdepot provides multiple cancellation channels, but not all are equally effective or reliable; some are stronger and create better documentation.
Method 1: cancel through your online Lawdepot account
This is the fastest method if it works, but Yafee advises treating it as your first step only, not your final one.
- Log into your Lawdepot account using your email and password
- Navigate to Account Settings (usually located in the top-right menu or under "My Account")
- Look for Subscription, Billing, or Membership settings
- Select Cancel Subscription or Cancel Membership
- Read any message asking why you are cancelling; you may leave this blank
- Confirm the cancellation
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page (if one appears)
- Save or forward any confirmation email to yourself immediately
- Note the exact date and time of cancellation
- Wait 5 to 7 business days, then check your account to confirm access is revoked
Important: Many users report that this online method shows a confirmation message but the subscription remains active. This is why you must not rely on it alone.
Method 2: email cancellation request to Lawdepot support
Email creates a timestamped written record. Yafee strongly recommends this as your second step.
- Send an email to Lawdepot's support team (check their contact page for the current email address; it is often [email protected] or [email protected])
- Use a clear subject line: "Request to Cancel Subscription and Refund"
- Include in the body:
- Your full name and the email address linked to your Lawdepot account
- Your account ID or reference number (find this in your billing statements or account settings)
- The date your subscription started
- The phrase: "I hereby request immediate cancellation of my subscription effective today"
- Your last billing date and amount charged
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect (today's date or the day before your next billing cycle)
- Do not include unnecessary explanation-legal cancellation requests must be direct
- Send from an email address you check frequently and save the sent copy
- Wait for a reply; if you do not receive one within 5 business days, send a second email copying your provincial consumer protection office
Keep your email account secure and do not delete this correspondence. You will need it if you later dispute a charge or file a complaint.
Method 3: registered mail to lawdepot's canadian office (strongest method)
This method is the most legally defensible because it creates a signed, timestamped record of delivery. Yafee recommends this if online or email cancellation fails.
- Locate Lawdepot's Canadian mailing address (typically found on their website under Contact or Legal; if not listed, call their phone line to request the address)
- Prepare a formal letter on plain paper that includes:
- Your full name, residential address, phone number and email address
- The email address used for your Lawdepot account
- Your account ID or subscription reference number
- The start date of your subscription and current billing amount
- A clear statement: "I hereby request immediate cancellation of my Lawdepot subscription effective today. Please confirm cancellation in writing within 5 business days and cease all charges immediately."
- The current date
- Your signature
- Print two copies of this letter
- Visit Canada Post and request a Proof of Delivery (POD) or Registered Mail service
- Mail one copy to Lawdepot's Canadian office; keep the second copy and the POD receipt in your records
- Note the tracking number provided by Canada Post
- Lawdepot must respond within the timeframe specified in their terms (typically 10 to 15 business days); if they do not, escalate to your provincial consumer authority with proof of the registered letter
Registered mail is the gold standard because it proves Lawdepot received your cancellation request. No reputable company can claim they never saw it.
Method 4: phone cancellation (use only as a secondary measure)
Phone cancellation is faster but creates no written record unless you record the call (check your provincial law-some provinces require both parties to consent to recording).
- Locate Lawdepot's phone number on their website or in your billing statement
- Call during business hours and select the option for Account or Billing support
- Provide your account email and subscription reference number when asked
- Say: "I want to cancel my subscription immediately and I want written confirmation sent to my email."
- Ask the agent for their name, the date and time of the call, and a confirmation number
- Hang up and immediately send a follow-up email to Lawdepot: "This is to confirm our phone call of [date] at [time] with [agent name], confirmation number [number], during which I requested cancellation of my subscription effective immediately. Please send written confirmation to this email within 2 business days."
This follow-up email creates a paper trail linking the phone call to a written request.
Pricing and billing details
Understanding Lawdepot's pricing structure helps you estimate any refund you may be entitled to and plan your cancellation date.
| Service | Cost (CAD) | Billing Cycle | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual document purchase | $19-$24 | One-time | No recurring charges; no cancellation needed |
| Monthly unlimited subscription | $39 | Monthly (recurring) | Automatic renewal; requires cancellation |
| Annual unlimited subscription (if available) | ~$390-$420 | Yearly (recurring) | Requires cancellation to stop annual charges |
| Add-on services or priority support | Variable | Depends on plan | Check your billing statement for these charges |
If you are billed on the 15th of each month, cancel by the 10th to avoid the next charge. Most payment processors take 3 to 5 business days to reflect a cancellation. If a charge appears after your cancellation request, that is the previous billing cycle processing; the next cycle should not charge you. If it does, dispute it immediately via your credit card company.
Refunds and what you are entitled to
Canadian consumer law entitles you to a refund under specific circumstances. Yafee advises checking whether you qualify before disputing a charge.
When Lawdepot should refund you
You are entitled to a refund if any of the following apply:
- You cancelled within Lawdepot's stated trial or money-back guarantee period (check your receipt or terms)
- Lawdepot failed to send you a pre-renewal reminder as required by law
- You were charged after you submitted a valid cancellation request (request a refund for that charge only)
- You cancelled but Lawdepot continued charging you beyond the cancellation date
- You cancelled and were charged a hidden cancellation fee not clearly disclosed beforehand
Contact Lawdepot's support team and request a refund, stating the reason. Keep all correspondence. If Lawdepot denies your refund without legal cause, file a chargeback with your bank or credit card company.
Disputing a charge with your bank
If Lawdepot refuses a legitimate refund, your financial institution can retrieve it for you:
- Contact your bank or credit card issuer by phone or online
- Request a chargeback or dispute for the Lawdepot charge
- Provide all documentation: cancellation request emails, registration mail receipt, screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, and the merchant's refusal to refund
- The bank will typically freeze the dispute for 15 to 30 days while they investigate
- Most chargebacks succeed if you have proof of cancellation and the merchant cannot prove continued service
Yafee notes that banks often reverse charges faster than merchants refund them, so this is sometimes your quickest path to relief.
What to do after cancellation
Cancellation is not complete until you verify that access has stopped and no further charges appear.
Verification steps
- Wait 5 to 7 business days after your cancellation request
- Log into your Lawdepot account and confirm you cannot create or download documents
- Check your bank or credit card statement for the next billing cycle and confirm no charge appears
- Monitor your account for the following 2 billing cycles to ensure charges do not resume
- If access is not revoked or a charge does appear, immediately contact Lawdepot again using Method 2 or 3 (email or registered mail), referencing your previous cancellation request by date and confirmation number
Preserving your documents
Before cancelling, download and save all documents you created in Lawdepot to your computer or cloud storage. After cancellation, you will lose online access to your account and cannot retrieve saved documents. Use the Download or Save option within your Lawdepot dashboard for each document.
Organizing your records
Create a folder on your computer or in cloud storage titled "Lawdepot Cancellation Records" and save:
- Screenshots of your cancellation confirmation
- All cancellation-related emails sent to and from Lawdepot
- The registered mail receipt and tracking number (if you used this method)
- Copies of your billing statements showing the charges and final charge date
- Any communication with your bank regarding a dispute or chargeback
Keep these records for at least one year in case you need to file a formal complaint or pursue a refund.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancellation can be stressful, but avoiding these errors will protect you and save time. You are not alone if you have made one of these mistakes-most consumers do-and Yafee shows you how to recover.
Mistake 1: relying only on online cancellation
Many users believe the online confirmation page means they are done. In reality, some confirmation messages fail to trigger the actual cancellation in Lawdepot's system. Always follow up with an email or phone call within 3 business days to verify.
Mistake 2: not documenting your cancellation request
If you cancel verbally or via a chat function without saving a record, you have no proof later if charges continue. Always email a confirmation of any cancellation you request, including the date, time and method.
Mistake 3: cancelling too close to your billing date
If your subscription renews on the 20th and you cancel on the 19th, the charge may have already processed. Cancel at least 5 business days before your renewal date to be safe. Check your invoice for the exact renewal date.
Mistake 4: assuming silence means cancellation is complete
If Lawdepot does not reply to your cancellation email within 5 business days, they may not have received it or may be ignoring it. Send a follow-up or escalate to Method 3 (registered mail). Do not wait silently for charges to stop on their own.
Mistake 5: deleting your cancellation emails immediately
Keep all correspondence for at least one year. If a dispute arises, you will need this evidence to prove you requested cancellation. Email folders are free; disputing unauthorized charges later is costly and stressful.
Comparison of cancellation methods
The table below ranks each cancellation method by reliability, speed and legal strength.
| Method | Speed | Legal strength | Effort | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Online cancellation | Immediate | Weak (no documentation) | 2 minutes | First attempt only |
| Email to support | 3-7 days | Strong (timestamped record) | 5 minutes | Your second step |
| Registered mail | 5-10 days | Strongest (proof of delivery) | 30 minutes | If online and email fail |
| Phone cancellation | Same day | Weak (voice only) | 15 minutes | Only with follow-up email |
Yafee recommends starting with Method 1 (online), confirming with Method 2 (email), and escalating to Method 3 (registered mail) if the first two do not work within 10 business days.
Contact Lawdepot to cancel
Use the following contact information when submitting your cancellation request. Always verify current contact details on Lawdepot's official website before sending anything.
