Frequently asked questions
Cancel Peoplecheck: The Right Way
How to cancel Peoplecheck in canada and protect your personal data
What Peoplecheck is and why canadians cancel
Peoplecheck is an online background-check and identity-verification service that operates across North America, including a dedicated Canadian platform. The service delivers both one-time background reports and recurring subscription access to consumers and businesses seeking to verify employment history, identity information, and personal records.
You may have subscribed to run a background check on yourself, monitor your identity for suspicious activity, or access employment-verification reports for hiring purposes. However, if you no longer require ongoing access, are concerned about how Peoplecheck stores your personal data, or want to halt recurring charges, you have the legal right to cancel. Yafee specializes in helping Canadian consumers understand their subscription rights and exercise control over their accounts.
Common reasons canadians cancel Peoplecheck
- You completed a one-time background check and no longer need recurring access
- Monthly or annual subscription fees exceed your budget or expectations
- You prefer not to store personal data with a third-party verification service
- You located a competing service with superior pricing or additional features
- Peoplecheck charged you without authorization or failed to deliver promised services
- Your employment or identity-verification needs have changed
Your cancellation path depends on how you subscribed
Whether you signed up directly through the Peoplecheck Canada website, via the Apple App Store, or through Google Play, your cancellation procedure and refund eligibility differ. Furthermore, your consumer protections depend on which Canadian province you reside in and whether the service has been delivered or accessed. Yafee guides you through each scenario so you cancel efficiently and recover any money you are legally entitled to.
Your consumer rights in canada under federal and provincial law
Canada does not enforce a single national "14-day cooling-off" rule that applies uniformly to all digital services. Instead, consumer protections vary by province and by the method in which you made your purchase.
Federal and provincial protections explained
Under the federal Consumer Protection Act and equivalent provincial statutes (such as Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002), you may possess the right to cancel within a specified period if the contract was formed at a distance - meaning online, by telephone, or by mail. The cooling-off period is typically 14 days from the date you received the service or the contract terms were provided, whichever date is later.
However, digital reports and verification services that have already been delivered or accessed often fall outside this protection. Peoplecheck's published Terms of Service do not display a standard refund or cooling-off guarantee, which indicates the service is likely treated as non-refundable once delivered or accessed. Consequently, your cancellation right may be limited to stopping future charges rather than recovering past payments.
Your legal position under canadian consumer law
If you subscribed through Peoplecheck's website within the past 14 days and have not yet accessed the service, you may qualify for a full refund under distance-selling rules in your province. If you have accessed the service or the 14-day period has elapsed, your refund eligibility depends on whether Peoplecheck failed to deliver what was promised or engaged in deceptive practices. You retain the absolute right to cancel recurring charges at any time, even if you cannot recover past payments.
Disputed charges and escalation routes
If you believe Peoplecheck charged you in error, failed to deliver the service, or violated consumer protection law, you can escalate your complaint to your provincial consumer authority. In Ontario, contact the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. In British Columbia, reach the Office of the Ombudsperson. In Alberta, file with the Fair Trading Act office. Yafee recommends gathering all receipts, email confirmations, account statements, and transaction records before you escalate to strengthen your case.
You also retain the right to dispute any charge with your credit card issuer or bank within a set timeframe - typically 60 to 120 days from the charge date. This is your final recourse if Peoplecheck refuses to respond to cancellation requests, ignores refund claims, or becomes unresponsive to contact.
Cancellation methods: choose the right path for your account
How you cancel Peoplecheck depends on where and how you originally subscribed.
If you subscribed through the Peoplecheck canada website directly
Direct website subscriptions are typically the most straightforward to cancel, though Peoplecheck does not advertise a self-service cancellation portal on its FAQ. Begin by logging into your Peoplecheck Canada account and navigating to subscription or billing settings. If no self-service cancellation option exists within your account dashboard, you must contact Peoplecheck support directly via their website contact form or email address.
When you contact support, provide your full name, account email address, and the date your subscription began. Request a written confirmation of cancellation via email. Do not rely on telephone cancellations alone - written confirmation creates a record that protects you if Peoplecheck continues to charge you after cancellation.
If you subscribed through the apple app store
Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store are managed through Apple's billing system, not through Peoplecheck directly. To cancel, you must access your Apple account settings on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac device.
- Open the Settings app on your Apple device
- On iPhone or iPad, tap Settings, then select your name at the top
- On Mac, open System Settings, then click your name in the sidebar
- Navigate to Subscriptions
- Select Media and Purchases, then tap Subscriptions
- Find Peoplecheck in your active subscriptions list
- Tap the Peoplecheck subscription
- Select Cancel Subscription or Turn Off Auto-Renewal
- Confirm your choice when prompted
- Request written confirmation from Apple by taking a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation and saving your receipt email
Your access to Peoplecheck will terminate on the next renewal date. Apple will not charge you further, but you will retain access until your subscription period ends.
If you subscribed through google play
Subscriptions purchased through Google Play are managed through your Google account, separate from Peoplecheck's systems. Cancel by accessing your Google Play account settings.
- Open Google Play on your Android device or visit play.google.com on your web browser
- On your device, open the Google Play app and tap your profile icon
- On your browser, sign in with your Google account
- Navigate to Subscriptions
- Select Manage Subscriptions or Manage My Subscriptions
- Locate Peoplecheck in your active list
- Select the Peoplecheck subscription
- Tap Cancel Subscription
- Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation
- Retain your cancellation confirmation email from Google for your records
Google will cease billing you immediately after cancellation, and your access will end on your next renewal date.
If you were billed by a third-party payment processor
In some cases, Peoplecheck may use a third-party payment processor rather than billing you directly. If you do not recognize the charge on your bank statement or credit card, search your email for receipts to identify the payment processor. Contact that processor - not Peoplecheck - to request cancellation and refund eligibility. Yafee recommends checking your email receipts for the merchant name and support contact information before reaching out to Peoplecheck customer service.
Refund eligibility and what you can recover
Your refund eligibility depends on three factors: the time elapsed since your purchase, whether you accessed the service, and your province's consumer protection rules.
Within 14 days of purchase (untouched service)
If you cancel within 14 days of subscribing and have not yet accessed any reports or verification services, you qualify for a full refund under the distance-selling provisions of Canadian consumer protection law. Contact Peoplecheck in writing and reference your provincial Consumer Protection Act. Request a refund to your original payment method within 15 business days.
After 14 days or after accessing the service
Once the 14-day cooling-off period expires or you access a report, Peoplecheck is unlikely to refund past charges. You retain the right to cancel future recurring charges, but previous payments are generally non-recoverable unless you can demonstrate that Peoplecheck failed to deliver a service you paid for or engaged in deceptive billing practices.
If you were charged without authorization
If Peoplecheck charged you without your consent or continued charging after you cancelled, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card issuer. Initiate a chargeback by contacting your financial institution and providing evidence of your cancellation request. Your bank has 120 days from the charge date to investigate and reverse unauthorized or fraudulent charges.
| Scenario | Refund eligible? | Action to take |
|---|---|---|
| Within 14 days, no access | Yes, full refund | Request refund in writing, cite Consumer Protection Act |
| After 14 days, service accessed | No refund for past charges | Cancel recurring charges immediately |
| Unauthorized charge | Yes, dispute with bank | Initiate chargeback within 120 days |
| Service not delivered | Yes, claim non-performance | Contact provincial consumer authority |
After you cancel: what to expect and what to protect
Cancellation does not happen instantly. Understand what occurs in the days and weeks following your cancellation request so you can monitor your account and prevent unwanted charges.
Access termination timeline
If you subscribed through Peoplecheck's website, your access typically terminates immediately upon cancellation request, though Peoplecheck may take up to 48 hours to process the request. If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you retain access until your current billing period ends. After that date, you cannot log in and will not be charged further.
Monitor your bank statement and email
After cancellation, watch your bank account or credit card statement for 30 days. If Peoplecheck continues to charge you, contact your bank immediately and dispute the charge. Furthermore, save any cancellation confirmation emails you received - these prove you requested cancellation and support your case if a dispute arises.
Request written confirmation if you cancelled by phone
If you cancelled by calling Peoplecheck support, follow up with a written email reiterating your cancellation request, the date you called, and the name of the representative you spoke with. This creates a documented record that protects you if disputes arise.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Peoplecheck
Most Canadians successfully cancel Peoplecheck without issues, but several preventable mistakes can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to continued charges.
Mistake 1: assuming your account deletion equals cancellation
Deleting your Peoplecheck account does not automatically cancel your subscription. Some services maintain recurring billing even after account deletion. Always explicitly request subscription cancellation before deleting your account. Confirm in writing that the subscription has been cancelled, not merely the account.
Mistake 2: cancelling only through the app, not the primary service
If you subscribed through Peoplecheck's website but only cancel through the mobile app, the cancellation may not process correctly. Yafee recommends cancelling through the same channel you used to subscribe. If you signed up on the website, cancel on the website. Contact support in writing to ensure cancellation is complete.
Mistake 3: relying on a single cancellation attempt
If you receive no written confirmation within 48 hours, assume your cancellation did not process and contact Peoplecheck again. Many companies require multiple contact attempts before they honour cancellation requests. Persistence, combined with written documentation, is your strongest tool.
Mistake 4: ignoring charges after cancellation
If Peoplecheck charges you after you cancelled, report it to your bank immediately rather than disputing it months later. The sooner you alert your financial institution, the faster they can reverse the charge and freeze the merchant account. Do not wait for multiple fraudulent charges to accumulate.
Pricing comparison and decision table
If you are undecided about cancellation, review Peoplecheck's pricing structure against your actual usage needs.
| Plan type | Typical cost (CAD) | Billing cycle | Cancel if… |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-time background report | $29.99-$49.99 | One-time | You accessed the report (non-refundable after use) |
| Monthly subscription | $19.99-$29.99 | Monthly auto-renew | You check background data less than once monthly |
| Annual subscription | $149.99-$199.99 | Annual auto-renew | You no longer monitor identity or employment verification |
| Family or business plan | $34.99-$99.99 | Monthly or annual | Your organization no longer requires bulk background checks |

Email and web-based support
Visit the Peoplecheck Canada website and locate the Contact Us or Support section. Complete the online contact form with your account details and cancellation request.

Escalation to provincial consumer authorities
If Peoplecheck does not respond to your cancellation request within 14 days or refuses to cancel, escalate your complaint to your provincial consumer protection authority. In Ontario, contact the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. In British Columbia, file a complaint with the Office of the Ombudsperson. In Alberta, reach the Fair Trading Act office. Provide copies of your cancellation request, Peoplecheck's response (or lack thereof), and any unauthorized charges.

Timeline for cancellation completion

Protect your data after cancellation
After cancellation, request that Peoplecheck delete your personal data in accordance with Canadian privacy law.

Send a written data deletion request to Peoplecheck's privacy office and retain the response confirming deletion.
