How to cancel your Myfax subscription in canada and protect your fax records

Understanding Myfax and why you might cancel

Myfax is an online faxing platform that allows you to send and receive faxes through email, a web portal, or mobile application without investing in physical fax hardware. Canadian home office workers, small business operators, and professionals who need flexible faxing solutions have adopted Myfax for its convenience and accessibility.

The service operates on tiered subscription plans that cap the number of pages you can send and receive each month. Myfax displays pricing in USD on its website, though your payment method or app store may convert charges to Canadian dollars (CAD) based on your subscription source. This currency conversion matters when you review your monthly billing statements.

Common reasons canadians cancel Myfax

You might cancel Myfax if you no longer require faxing capability, discovered a cheaper competitor, want to consolidate monthly subscriptions, or uncovered unexpected fees in your billing cycle. Whatever your reason, Yafee helps thousands of Canadian consumers navigate the cancellation process with clarity and confidence.

Why cancellation requires planning

Myfax does not provide a straightforward online cancellation button in all account types. If you subscribed through Apple App Store, Google Play, PayPal, or your bank's payment system, you must cancel through that third-party provider, not directly with Myfax. Furthermore, Myfax retains all faxes you sent and received after your subscription ends, so you must download or export critical documents before your access closes. This means planning your cancellation properly protects your business continuity.

Your legal position under canadian consumer protection law

Your cancellation rights fall under the Competition Act and provincial consumer protection legislation, which govern subscription services across Canada.

Consumer protection act framework for subscriptions

Under the Consumer Protection Act (available in all Canadian provinces), you have the right to cancel a subscription service within a reasonable timeframe once you request cancellation. Myfax must cease billing you upon receipt of your cancellation request; however, the company may charge you for services used up to the effective cancellation date. The Act requires that companies make cancellation "as easy" as the original subscription method, meaning if you enrolled online, you should be able to cancel online without unnecessary friction.

Your rights if Myfax refuses to cancel

If Myfax does not honor your cancellation request or continues charging you after cancellation, you have recourse through your provincial consumer protection agency. In Ontario, you can file a complaint with the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. In British Columbia, contact the Office of the Superintendent of Real Estate. In Alberta, your path runs through the Fair Trading Act enforcement team. Your bank or credit card issuer also allows you to dispute charges and request a chargeback if Myfax violates these legal standards.

Three paths to cancel your Myfax subscription

Your cancellation method depends on how you originally signed up and whether you want documented proof of cancellation.

Method 1: cancel online through your Myfax account

This is the fastest route if you created a direct Myfax account on their website and paid them directly using a credit card or bank account.

Method 2: cancel through your third-party billing provider

If you subscribed via Apple App Store, Google Play, PayPal, or automated bank deductions, you must cancel through that provider to stop charges. Myfax cannot disable your subscription if the billing relationship exists with a third party.

Method 3: send written cancellation by registered mail with proof of delivery

For Canadian customers who need legally documented proof of cancellation, you can send a signed letter by registered mail (raccomandata A/R) to Myfax's Canadian address. This method creates an audit trail that holds up in disputes and ensures Yafee's recommendation aligns with your legal documentation needs.

Step-by-step: cancel online through your Myfax account

Follow these steps if you manage your subscription directly through Myfax's website and maintain your own username and password.

1. Sign in to your Myfax account at the web portal using your registered email address and password.
2. Locate the account navigation menu, typically labeled "Billing," "Subscription," "Account," or "Settings."
3. Click into the subscription management section to view your active plan.
4. Select the option to cancel, downgrade, or pause your subscription.
   • Note: Myfax may prompt you to confirm cancellation or select a reason. Provide an honest response, but do not let a retention offer override your decision unless it genuinely meets your needs.
5. Review the cancellation confirmation page carefully for the exact date your access ends and confirmation that no future charges will occur.
6. Capture a screenshot of the confirmation page immediately for your records.
   • Important: Some services purge confirmation emails after 30 days, so a screenshot serves as your backup proof.
7. Forward the confirmation email to your personal email inbox or print it for file retention.
8. Log in again after 2 to 5 business days to verify that your subscription status displays as "cancelled" or "inactive."

Step-by-step: cancel through a third-party billing provider

If Apple App Store, Google Play, PayPal, or your bank processes Myfax charges, you must initiate cancellation through that platform to stop recurring payments.

Canceling through apple app store

1. On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, open the App Store application.
2. Tap or click your profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
4. Find "Myfax" in your active subscriptions list.
5. Click "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice.
6. Screenshot the cancellation confirmation for your records.

4. Select "Cancel" or "Stop Payment" and confirm the cancellation date.
5. Retain the cancellation confirmation reference number provided by your bank.

Step-by-step: send written cancellation by registered mail

This method creates legal documentation of your cancellation request and suits Canadian users who want proof that Myfax received their notice.

Preparing your cancellation letter

1. Write or type a formal cancellation letter on plain paper or letterhead.
2. Include your full name, registered Myfax email address, and Myfax account number (if you have it).
3. State clearly: "I request cancellation of my Myfax subscription effective immediately" or specify your preferred cancellation date.
4. Include the date you wrote the letter.
5. Sign the letter by hand if printed, or use a digital signature if sent electronically.
6. Keep a copy for your records before sending.

Sending your letter via registered mail

1. Visit your local Canada Post office with your signed cancellation letter.
2. Request registered mail service with proof of delivery (raccomandata A/R, or "Signature Confirmation" in Canada Post terminology).
3. Provide Myfax's Canadian mailing address (contact Myfax support to confirm the exact address if not on their website).
4. Pay the registered mail fee (typically $10 to $15 CAD for domestic delivery).
5. Obtain your tracking number and delivery confirmation receipt from Canada Post.
6. Store your Canada Post receipt and tracking number securely; these prove you sent the cancellation request and when it arrived.

Understanding Myfax pricing and billing cycles

Myfax operates on monthly subscription tiers; your understanding of these plans helps you cancel at the right moment to minimize charges.

Currency conversion affects your bill since Myfax lists prices in USD. If you pay via credit card or PayPal, your card issuer applies the current exchange rate. If you subscribed through an app store, the store handles conversion at purchase time.

What happens after you cancel your Myfax subscription

Cancellation is not instantaneous; understanding the post-cancellation timeline helps you manage your fax workflow.

Immediate after cancellation

Once you cancel, Myfax typically stops your service at the end of your current billing cycle or immediately, depending on your plan and cancellation method. Your web portal access may remain visible for a grace period (usually 30 days), allowing you to download sent and received faxes.

Data retention and fax export

Before your access closes, export all critical faxes from your Myfax account. Log in to your account, navigate to your fax history, and download or save received documents. Myfax does not automatically delete your fax records, but you lose access once cancellation is final. Yafee recommends exporting documents within 7 days of cancellation to ensure you do not lose important correspondence.

Refund timeline and disputes

Myfax does not offer refunds for partial months of service once cancellation is processed. If you cancel mid-month, you forfeit the remainder of that month's prepaid allowance. However, if Myfax continues charging you after cancellation, you have 60 days from the unauthorized charge date to dispute it with your bank or credit card issuer. File a chargeback claim with your financial institution if Myfax breaches cancellation.

Common mistakes to avoid when canceling Myfax

Most Canadian users cancel smoothly, but a few missteps can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to continued charges.

Mistake 1: canceling the app instead of the subscription

Removing the Myfax app from your phone or computer does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel through your account settings, the app store, or your payment provider. Deleting the app only removes the software; billing instructions remain active with your payment source.

Mistake 2: assuming your third-party payment stopped your subscription

If you canceled your Apple App Store or Google Play subscription but did not cancel your direct Myfax account (or vice versa), charges may continue. Verify both cancellation points if you subscribed through multiple channels.

Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation

Screenshots and confirmation emails vanish quickly. Capture proof of cancellation immediately after you submit your request. This documentation protects you if Myfax disputes your cancellation or attempts to recharge you.

Mistake 4: overlooking the fax export deadline

You have a limited window (typically 30 days post-cancellation) to download your sent and received faxes. After that window closes, access may be permanently revoked. Export critical documents before the cancellation date if possible.

Mistake 5: sending registered mail without tracking confirmation

If you choose the registered mail method, do not rely on postal delivery without tracking. Canada Post's Signature Confirmation (or raccomandata A/R) is non-negotiable for legal proof. Without it, you cannot prove Myfax received your cancellation notice.

Timeline for cancellation and refunds

Knowing when each step completes helps you plan your transition away from Myfax and ensure no surprise charges occur.

Comparing cancellation methods: which approach suits you

Each cancellation path has advantages and trade-offs depending on your need for documentation and ease of process.

Contacting Myfax and escalation routes

If your cancellation is delayed or Myfax refuses to stop charges, you have formal escalation paths.

Provide your Myfax account number, registered email, and screenshots of your cancellation request. Request written confirmation that your subscription has been cancelled and billing has stopped.

Filing a complaint with your provincial consumer protection agency

If Myfax ignores your cancellation or continues charging you after 10 business days, file a formal complaint with your provincial authority:

• Ontario: Ministry of the Attorney General, Consumer Protection Act complaints
• British Columbia: Office of the Superintendent of Real Estate consumer complaints division
• Alberta: Fair Trading Act enforcement branch
• Quebec: Office of the Protecteur du consommateur
• Other provinces: Contact your provincial consumer protection ministry directly

Disputing unauthorized charges with your bank or credit card issuer

If Myfax bills you after cancellation, contact your bank or credit card company within 60 days and request a chargeback. Provide your cancellation confirmation, screenshots, and copies of unauthorized charges. Most financial institutions reverse fraudulent or unauthorized recurring charges within 2 to 5 business days while they investigate.
