How to cancel Trackmobi and stop recurring charges on your account
What is Trackmobi and why canadian users cancel
Trackmobi is a family location-tracking application that operates on a recurring subscription model. You install the app on mobile devices to monitor the real-time location of family members, and the service charges your account monthly unless you disable automatic renewal before your next billing date. Many Canadian subscribers sign up for a promotional trial at a low price, then discover they've been charged significantly higher amounts in subsequent months without transparent notification.
If you're reading this guide, you likely encountered an unexpected charge or concluded that Trackmobi no longer serves your needs. The good news is that cancelling Trackmobi follows a clear legal process once you understand the required steps, and Canadian consumer protections may strengthen your position if the company failed to meet disclosure obligations. At Yafee, we help consumers navigate subscription cancellations with confidence and clarity.
Why Trackmobi charges continue without interruption
Trackmobi uses automatic renewal, meaning your subscription continues to charge until you manually disable it. The company's published Terms require you to turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before your billing date to prevent the next charge. This practice is standard in the SaaS industry, but it often catches consumers off guard because renewal notices are frequently buried in app settings or sent to email addresses you no longer monitor regularly.
Common reasons canadians cancel Trackmobi
You may be cancelling because the monthly subscription fee appears excessive relative to the features you actually use. Other subscribers switch to competing family-tracking applications that offer better accuracy or more intuitive interfaces. Some users simply forget they hold an active subscription and want to stop recurring charges immediately. Whatever your reason for cancelling, Yafee provides you with clear, legally grounded steps to complete the process without delay.
Your legal position under canadian consumer protection law
Your cancellation rights flow directly from the Consumer Protection Act in your province, which governs automatic renewal contracts.
Under the federal Consumer Protection from Unfair or Deceptive Marketing Practices Regulations and provincial consumer protection statutes, Trackmobi must obtain your express informed consent before charging you for a subscription renewal. Furthermore, the company must provide clear, accessible instructions for disabling auto-renewal within the app or account settings. If Trackmobi failed to meet these obligations, you may qualify for a refund of unauthorized charges.
In Ontario, the Consumer Protection Act specifically addresses automatic renewal and requires merchants to send a renewal reminder at least 15 days before the next billing date. British Columbia, Alberta, and other provinces have similar protections. If Trackmobi did not send you a clear reminder or made cancellation deliberately difficult, you retain the right to dispute charges with your bank or credit card company.
Your legal position
- You have the right to cancel at any time before your next billing date without penalty.
- You may request a refund if Trackmobi charged you without proper consent or failed to provide renewal reminders as required by law.
- If the company refuses to refund unauthorized charges, you can file a chargeback through your bank or lodge a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority.
- Yafee recommends documenting all communications with Trackmobi to support any future dispute resolution process.
Methods to cancel Trackmobi and disable auto-renewal
Trackmobi does not offer a direct in-app cancellation button, so you must cancel through your payment method or request account deletion directly from the company.
Cancellation method one: disable auto-renewal through the app store
Most Trackmobi subscriptions renew through either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. This method stops charges at the source and prevents any future billing.
- Open your device and navigate to your subscription settings:
- iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Trackmobi in the list, and tap Edit Subscription.
- Android device: Open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, select Manage Subscriptions, locate Trackmobi, and tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation request when the app store prompts you to verify your choice.
- Check your email immediately for a cancellation receipt from Apple or Google confirming the date when your subscription access ends.
- Set a calendar reminder for one day before that end date to verify that no charge appears on your next billing cycle.
Cancellation method two: cancel through your payment method
If you set up Trackmobi to charge a credit card or bank account directly (rather than through an app store), you must cancel with your financial institution.
- Log into your bank's online portal or call your bank's customer service line.
- Request cancellation of the recurring payment to Trackmobi or its parent company, Familytrack.
- Provide the representative with the last four digits of the card you use to pay for Trackmobi, along with Trackmobi's billing email or merchant code.
- Ask your bank to send you written confirmation of the cancellation and request a stop-payment order to be placed on file.
- If you were charged after the stop-payment date, request an immediate reversal and ask the bank to file a dispute if Trackmobi refuses to refund.
Cancellation method three: email Trackmobi directly for account deletion
Disabling auto-renewal stops future charges, but formally requesting account deletion provides documented evidence of your cancellation request and ensures Trackmobi removes your personal data.
- Compose an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Account Deletion Request" and include the following information:
- Your full name as it appears on your Trackmobi account.
- The email address you used to register for Trackmobi.
- The last four digits of the payment method on file.
- A statement that you wish to cancel your subscription and delete your account immediately.
- Your request for written confirmation of deletion and a final invoice showing zero balance.
- Send the email using a method that provides read receipt confirmation or request a delivery receipt to prove Trackmobi received your cancellation request.
- Retain a copy of this email and any response for your records, particularly if you later need to dispute a charge or file a complaint.
- If Trackmobi does not respond within 10 business days, escalate your complaint to your provincial consumer protection office.

How to request a refund for unauthorized charges
If Trackmobi charged you after you submitted a cancellation request, or if you believe charges were made without your consent, you have the right to recover those funds.
Step one: contact Trackmobi in writing
Send a formal refund request to [email protected] within 30 days of the unauthorized charge. Include your account email, the charge date, the amount charged, and a clear statement that you did not authorize this payment. Request a full refund and ask for confirmation within 10 business days.
Step two: dispute the charge with your bank
If Trackmobi does not refund the charge within 10 business days, contact your bank or credit card company to initiate a chargeback or dispute. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation email, your bank's confirmation of the stop-payment order (if applicable), and any email responses from Trackmobi. Your bank will investigate and typically refund the disputed amount while the dispute is pending.
Step three: escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority
If your bank's chargeback process takes longer than 30 days or if Trackmobi continues to charge you, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection office. In Ontario, contact the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. In British Columbia, reach out to the Office of the Superintendent of Real Estate. Yafee recommends gathering all documentation: your cancellation email, bank statements, correspondence with Trackmobi, and your chargeback case number, if applicable.

Many Canadian users report being charged the Standard or Premium rate ($9.99 to $14.99 per month) after a promotional trial period ended without explicit confirmation from Trackmobi. If this happened to you, Yafee advises requesting a refund of the difference between the trial price and the charged amount, as the company should have sent a renewal reminder before the charge occurred.
What happens after you cancel Trackmobi
Once your cancellation takes effect, your Trackmobi account transitions through several phases.
Immediate access loss and data retention
When your subscription ends, you lose access to real-time location tracking immediately. Trackmobi retains your account data for 30 days in case you wish to reactivate. If you request account deletion in your cancellation email, the company will remove all personal information from its servers within 10-15 business days, as required by Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act).
Verification of non-renewal
Monitor your bank statement or credit card statement closely for 60 days after your cancellation date. Verify that no further charges from Trackmobi appear. If an unexpected charge does occur, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation email and the stop-payment order you placed. Yafee recommends setting a calendar alert for two billing cycles after cancellation to double-check your statements.
Removing Trackmobi from your devices
After confirming that charges have stopped, you may delete the Trackmobi app from your devices. Uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription, so complete cancellation through the app store or your bank first, then delete the app from your device settings.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Many Canadian consumers fail to fully cancel Trackmobi because they miss a critical step in the process. The good news is that these mistakes are entirely preventable if you follow Yafee's clear checklist.
Mistake one: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Removing the Trackmobi app from your phone does not stop charges. The subscription continues to renew at your payment method until you explicitly disable auto-renewal through the app store or your bank. Always cancel the subscription before you delete the app.
Mistake two: cancelling only through email without disabling app store auto-renewal
Trackmobi's email support can be slow to respond. If you request deletion only by email and the company delays responding, charges may continue. Disable auto-renewal through your app store or bank simultaneously to ensure charges stop regardless of Trackmobi's email response speed.
Mistake three: failing to save cancellation confirmations
If Trackmobi later disputes your cancellation or your bank requires evidence of your request, you must have written proof. Save all emails, screenshots of app store cancellation confirmations, and bank statements showing the stop-payment order. Yafee recommends creating a dedicated folder in your email or cloud storage for subscription cancellation documents.
Mistake four: cancelling too close to your billing date
If you cancel within 24 hours of your billing date, Trackmobi's system may still process the charge because the renewal was already queued. Cancel at least 48 hours before your next billing date to allow time for the cancellation to process. Check your billing date in the app settings before you initiate cancellation.

Straightforward |
If Trackmobi continues to charge you after you submit a cancellation request, you have legal remedies available under Canadian consumer protection law.
Step one: send a formal demand letter
Compose a certified letter addressed to Trackmobi's parent company or legal representative. In your letter, state your account details, the dates of unauthorized charges, the cancellation request you submitted, and the amount you demand as a refund. Specify a deadline of 14 days for Trackmobi to respond. Send this letter by registered mail and retain proof of delivery.
Step two: file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority
Contact your provincial consumer protection office with copies of your cancellation emails, bank statements, and the registered letter you sent to Trackmobi. Each province has a dedicated office to investigate subscription-billing complaints. Yafee recommends including your case reference number from your bank's chargeback dispute (if applicable) in your complaint to the consumer protection authority. These offices have the authority to compel Trackmobi to provide refunds and impose administrative penalties for violations.
Step three: consider small claims court action
If Trackmobi owes you less than $35,000 (the small claims jurisdiction limit in most Canadian provinces), you may file a claim in your provincial small claims court. Bring all documentation: cancellation emails, bank statements, app store screenshots, and correspondence with Trackmobi. Most small claims courts award refunds plus court costs to consumers who can demonstrate they cancelled in compliance with company policy and law.
