How to cancel All Red Video and take control of your streaming spend
Why you might want to cancel All Red Video
Your streaming subscriptions are quietly accumulating. Most UK households now spend more than £40 monthly on video services alone, and many people maintain subscriptions they barely use. All Red Video may have seemed essential when you signed up, but if your viewing habits have changed or you've found better value elsewhere, cancelling is entirely within your rights.
Subscription creep happens silently. You add one service, then another, and before long you're paying for five platforms you access sporadically. At Yafee, we help consumers recognise when they're throwing money at services that no longer justify their cost. Whether All Red Video no longer matches your interests, you've discovered competing services with better content, or you're simply tightening your household budget, this guide walks you through every step of cancelling safely and understanding the legal protections that support your decision.
When cancelling makes financial sense
A £11.99 monthly All Red Video subscription costs £143.88 annually. Over five years, that's nearly £720 you could redirect toward savings, experiences, or entertainment that brings you genuine enjoyment.
Track your actual viewing time honestly. If you watch fewer than five hours per month on All Red Video, your effective cost per viewing hour likely exceeds £2 to £3-often more than a cinema ticket costs. If you're paying for the Premium plan at £15.99 monthly but using only one device, you're subsidising features you don't need. Yafee's analysis of consumer cancellations shows that users who downgrade to Basic plans or cancel entirely report feeling immediately relieved by the monthly saving, even if they miss occasional content.
Understanding your consumer rights when cancelling
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 underpins your protection when you cancel distance contracts-which includes all online subscriptions. You have the right to cancel within 14 calendar days of purchase without providing a reason, provided you haven't substantially used the service.
For subscriptions you're already using, you can cancel at any time. The critical requirement is that All Red Video must provide you with clear, accessible information about how to cancel before you complete your purchase. If the company buries the cancellation process, obscures the method, or makes it deliberately difficult to find, that may violate consumer law. Yafee has documented numerous cases where streaming services hide cancellation links in obscure account menus-this practice breaches the transparency obligations set out in the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Your legal position: Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you may cancel a subscription contract at any time after the initial 14-day period. The company must acknowledge your cancellation promptly and confirm the date it becomes effective. If All Red Video fails to process your cancellation or continues charging after you've submitted a valid cancellation request, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your payment provider or escalate to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
All Red Video pricing and subscription tiers
Understanding your current plan and what you're paying helps you decide whether to cancel or downgrade.
Subscription costs across all tiers
All Red Video offers tiered pricing to suit different viewing needs. The exact features vary by plan, but the key question is whether you're using everything you pay for.

Identifying overpaying and hidden charges
Review your current plan against your actual usage. Many subscribers pay for Premium when Basic covers their needs. Some maintain family add-ons long after household members have stopped using the service. Yafee's consumer data shows that the average subscriber overpays by approximately £3 to £5 monthly simply by not reassessing their tier choice annually.
Before cancelling, consider downgrading to a lower tier as a middle ground. If you watch All Red Video occasionally but value having the option, Basic at £7.99 monthly may suit you better than Standard or Premium. Nevertheless, if you've genuinely stopped watching, cancellation eliminates the charge entirely.
How to cancel All Red Video step by step
Cancellation follows a straightforward process when you know exactly what to do and what to expect.
Step 1: log into your All Red Video account
Visit the All Red Video website or open the mobile app and sign in using your registered email address and password. Navigate to your account settings-usually accessible via a profile icon in the top-right corner of the web interface or through the menu option on mobile.
Step 2: access your account settings and subscription details
Once logged in, locate the "Account" or "Subscription" section. This area displays your current plan, monthly cost, billing cycle, and payment method. Take a screenshot or note your subscription details for your records. Yafee recommends documenting the date you initiated cancellation, as this becomes important if billing disputes arise.
Step 3: find and select the cancellation option
Within account settings, search for "Cancel subscription," "End membership," or similar language. All Red Video must provide this option visibly-do not accept vague instructions to "contact support" as your only cancellation route, as this may violate consumer law transparency requirements.
If the cancellation button or link is difficult to locate, note the date and time you began searching. This evidence supports your position if the company later claims you never requested cancellation.
Step 4: confirm cancellation and review the notice period
All Red Video will ask you to confirm your cancellation. The company may offer a retention discount or prompt you with a survey asking why you're leaving. You are under no obligation to accept a discount offer or complete a survey. Select "Confirm cancellation" and proceed.
The company must confirm when your cancellation becomes effective. In most cases, All Red Video honours cancellations immediately, but your access may continue until the end of your current billing cycle (for example, if you pay monthly on the 15th, your access may end on the 15th of the following month). Yafee advises checking this date carefully to avoid unexpected charges.
Step 5: receive and keep your cancellation confirmation
All Red Video should send you a cancellation confirmation email within hours. This email is your proof of cancellation. Save it to a dedicated folder and, ideally, print a copy. Include the confirmation in your personal records alongside screenshots of your account showing the cancellation was processed.
If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, log back into your account and verify that cancellation was processed. If the system still shows your subscription as active, contact All Red Video support immediately and reference the date and time you requested cancellation.
What to expect after cancellation
Cancellation is final, but you retain specific consumer protections afterward.
Access to your account and content
After you cancel, All Red Video typically grants continued access until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you pay monthly and cancel on the 10th of the month, you retain full access until the end of that month. After the billing period ends, the service locks you out of your account and all downloaded or streaming content becomes inaccessible.
If you've downloaded episodes or films using the All Red Video app's offline feature, those files remain on your device but become unplayable once your subscription expires. Yafee recommends noting any content you want to watch or reference before your cancellation date takes effect.
Refunds and billing credits
If you cancel mid-cycle and All Red Video charges monthly in advance, you may be entitled to a partial refund for unused days. However, many streaming services specify in their terms that subscriptions are non-refundable once the billing period has commenced.
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, services are not automatically refundable if you've already accessed them substantially. Your right to a refund depends on whether you cancel within the initial 14-day period before using the service significantly. If you cancel after 14 days, All Red Video can legitimately withhold the monthly fee, though you can dispute this with your payment provider or bank if you believe the charge was unauthorised.
Confirming your cancellation and preventing re-subscription
Approximately one week before your cancellation date, log back into your account and verify that cancellation remains scheduled. Occasionally, system errors reactivate subscriptions. If you see your subscription has been reactivated without your request, contact All Red Video immediately and escalate to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) if the company refuses to cancel again.
After your access ends, monitor your bank or credit card statements for the next three months to ensure All Red Video stops charging. If a charge appears after your cancellation date has passed, contact your bank or payment provider and request a chargeback or refund, citing your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few common errors can delay the process or cause confusion-none of these errors are your fault if the company is unclear, but awareness helps you protect yourself.
Assuming deletion of the app or account equals cancellation
Deleting the All Red Video app from your device or your browser history does not cancel your subscription. The subscription remains active, and you continue to be charged monthly. You must explicitly cancel through the account settings as described above. Yafee has seen countless consumers believe they've cancelled only to discover months later they were still being billed. Deletion is not cancellation.
Contacting customer support without documenting the request
If you request cancellation via email, chat, or phone support, request written confirmation via email. Do not rely on verbal assurances from a support agent. Save all emails exchanged, note the date and time of phone calls, and record the name of any agent you speak with. If All Red Video later claims you never requested cancellation, this documentation protects your position and provides evidence for a dispute with your payment provider.
Failing to verify the cancellation effective date
All Red Video may confirm your cancellation but allow access to continue until the end of your billing cycle. If you assume access has ended immediately but charges continue, contact the company proactively. Do not wait for a surprise charge on your statement. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for your cancellation end date so you can verify in advance that the company has processed the cancellation correctly.
Ignoring unexpected charges after cancellation
If you see a charge from All Red Video after your cancellation date has passed, act immediately. Contact your bank or payment provider within 30 days of the unauthorised charge and request a chargeback. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Do not delay, as chargeback windows are time-limited. If you've waited longer than 30 days, you may still escalate to the Competition and Markets Authority, though the bank's chargeback process is usually faster.
Refunds and disputing unauthorised charges
You may recover payments if All Red Video charges you after cancellation or fails to honour your cancellation request.
Requesting a refund directly from All Red Video
Contact All Red Video customer support in writing (email is preferred, as it creates a record) and state that you cancelled your subscription on [date], yet you were charged on [date]. Request a full refund of the unauthorised charge. Include your cancellation confirmation email. Allow the company five working days to respond. If they refuse or do not respond, escalate to your payment provider.
Disputing charges with your bank or payment provider
If All Red Video refuses to refund unauthorised charges, contact your bank or credit card provider. Explain that you cancelled your subscription, provided evidence (cancellation email), yet were charged. Request a chargeback or reversal of the transaction. Most banks process this within 5 to 10 working days. Your bank will investigate and, in most cases, rule in your favour if you've provided cancellation evidence.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is the UK's competition and consumer protection agency. If you experience repeated unauthorised charges or All Red Video refuses to cancel despite multiple requests, you can file a complaint with the CMA. Yafee's experience shows that filing a CMA complaint often prompts companies to resolve disputes quickly, as regulatory attention carries reputational and financial consequences.
Protection under the unfair contract terms act 1977
The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 prohibits companies from hiding important terms or making cancellation deliberately difficult. If All Red Video's terms are unclear, cancellation is hidden, or the company claims you cannot cancel, this may breach the Act. Yafee advises documenting every interaction and preserving all evidence if you believe the company has acted unfairly.
Preventing subscription creep and staying in control
Once you've cancelled All Red Video, adopt habits that prevent resubscription or new subscriptions spiralling out of control.
Conducting a quarterly subscription audit
Every three months, review your active subscriptions and their monthly costs. Open your bank or credit card statement and search for recurring charges from entertainment, productivity, or lifestyle services. List them with their costs. For each subscription, ask yourself: "Did I use this service meaningfully in the past month?" If the answer is no, cancel it immediately. This quarterly audit prevents subscription creep from reoccurring. Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder on the first day of each quarter to conduct this review.
Setting spending caps and using gift cards
Consider purchasing All Red Video gift cards instead of subscribing directly if you decide to resubscribe later. Gift cards limit your spending and force you to actively choose to renew rather than automatically charging your card. Alternatively, use a dedicated debit card with a low balance for entertainment subscriptions, reducing the risk of unexpected overages.
Using subscription management tools
Services exist specifically to track and manage your subscriptions. These tools monitor your recurring charges, send you alerts before each billing date, and facilitate cancellation. Yafee recommends exploring these services if you find it difficult to track subscriptions manually.
If you prefer to cancel by post or need formal contact information, use the following approach. Write to All Red Video's registered address (available on their website's "Contact Us" page) and include the following information: your full name, email address associated with your account, account number or subscription ID, the date you wish to cancel, and a clear statement: "I hereby cancel my All Red Video subscription effective [date]." Send the letter via Special Delivery to obtain proof of receipt.
Retain a copy of your letter and the Special Delivery receipt. This creates evidence that you submitted a cancellation request on a specific date, which protects you if All Red Video later claims you never requested cancellation.
Summary: your next steps
Cancelling All Red Video is within your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Follow the steps outlined above, document every interaction, and retain your cancellation confirmation email. If the company fails to honour your cancellation or charges you after your cancellation date, escalate to your bank or the Competition and Markets Authority.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel streaming subscriptions, recover unauthorised charges, and regain control of their entertainment spending. Whether you're cancelling All Red Video permanently or simply downgrading to a lower tier, you now understand the legal framework that protects you and the precise procedural steps that ensure a clean cancellation. Take action today and redirect that monthly £11.99 toward something that brings you genuine value.
