Frequently asked questions
Cancel Incognito: The Right Way to End Your Service
How to cancel your Incognito broadband subscription and protect your consumer rights
Understanding Incognito and your contractual position
Incognito operates as a telecommunications provider delivering broadband services across the United Kingdom. Your service agreement with Incognito is a legally binding contract that specifies your monthly or annual costs, contract duration, connection speeds, and crucially, the notice periods and charges for early termination. Before you cancel, you must understand exactly what you are contracted to and what rights you hold under the Communications Act 2003, the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
These laws protect you and establish clear pathways for ending your service fairly. At Yafee, we have helped thousands of consumers navigate broadband cancellations by first understanding their contractual position, then following the exact cancellation process their provider requires. The clearer you are about your own contract terms, the smoother your cancellation will be.
Fixed-term contracts and early exit charges
If you signed a fixed-term contract with Incognito, typically for 12, 18, or 24 months, you have committed to keeping the service active for that entire period. Exit before the term ends, and you will likely face an early termination fee. This charge reflects what Incognito calls the "remaining contract value" or early exit penalty.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires that these early termination charges must be a genuine pre-estimate of loss, not a punitive fine. If you believe the charge is excessive or unreasonable, you have grounds to dispute it. Incognito must provide this figure in writing and explain how it was calculated. Keep that documentation; you will need it for any complaint to Ofcom or the Communications and Media Authority if you escalate.
Rolling monthly contracts and cancellation flexibility
If you are on a rolling monthly agreement, you enjoy greater flexibility. Most rolling contracts allow you to cancel with just 30 days written notice and without early termination charges. Check your contract document or your latest bill to confirm your notice period; it will be clearly stated in the "Cancellation" or "Termination" section.
Rolling arrangements are generally easier to exit, but you still must provide notice in the correct format and to the correct address. We recommend treating even simple rolling cancellations with the same formality as fixed-term exits: written notice, proof of sending, and records of all communication.
Pricing, fees and what you are actually paying
Understanding your current charges helps you decide whether cancellation makes financial sense, especially if you are considering switching to another provider.
| Contract type | Typical monthly cost (GBP) | Setup fees | Early exit charge | Notice period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed-term (12 months) | From £25-£40 | £0-£50 | Remaining contract value | 30 days written notice |
| Fixed-term (18 months) | From £20-£35 | £0-£50 | Remaining contract value | 30 days written notice |
| Fixed-term (24 months) | From £18-£32 | £0-£50 | Remaining contract value | 30 days written notice |
| Rolling monthly | From £32-£45 | £0 | None | 30 days written notice |
Before you cancel, request an itemised breakdown of what you have paid over the past three months. If you spot charges you did not authorise, document them immediately. Yafee recommends keeping all billing statements and emails relating to your account for at least six months after cancellation, as these may be needed to support any refund claim or dispute with Ofcom.
Should you cancel or explore alternatives?
Cancellation is the right step for some customers, but not all situations require a full exit. Consider your options carefully before you commit to the cancellation process.
Reasons to proceed with cancellation
You should cancel if you are moving house or country and cannot bring your service with you, if your broadband speeds have consistently fallen below the speed promised in your contract, or if you have found a significantly cheaper provider with better customer service ratings. You should also cancel if Incognito has breached the terms of your contract, failed to resolve billing errors, or if you no longer require broadband service.
Reasons to reconsider
If you are within a fixed-term contract and the early exit charge exceeds £100, you may want to calculate whether the cost of staying until the end of your term is less than the penalty charge. Use the formula: (remaining months × monthly cost) versus (early exit charge). Sometimes patience is more cost-effective than cancellation. Additionally, if you are considering switching providers, check whether Incognito is willing to match a competitor's offer before you formally cancel.
How to cancel your Incognito account
The cancellation process for Incognito requires formal written notice sent to their Cardiff office. Follow these steps precisely to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly and within the legal timeframe.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Locate your Incognito account number. This appears on every bill and in your online account portal.
- Log in to your Incognito account online and navigate to "Account Details" or "My Services"
- If you do not have online access, call Incognito customer service and request your account number in writing
- Find your customer reference number or company number. This identifies your contractual relationship with Incognito.
- Check your most recent contract document or service agreement
- This number is distinct from your account number and must be included in your cancellation request
- Note your current service address and the email address registered on your account.
- Review your contract term end date to calculate any early exit charges you may owe.
Step 2: prepare your written cancellation notice
- Open a word processor or use plain paper to compose your cancellation letter.
- Address the letter to Incognito's customer service department at their Cardiff office (full address provided at the end of this guide)
- Include the date you are writing the letter
- State your full name, account number, company reference number, and service address at the top of the letter.
- Double-check that these details match exactly what Incognito has on file
- Any mismatch may delay processing
- Write a clear statement: "I hereby give 30 days written notice of my intention to cancel my broadband service contract with Incognito, effective [insert date 30 days from today]."
- Use a calendar to calculate the exact date 30 days from the date you send your notice
- This date must fall after your contract allows cancellation
- Include a brief reason for cancellation if you wish (optional but helpful for dispute resolution if issues arise later).
- For example: "I am relocating to [location] and cannot maintain service" or "I am switching to a competitor for cost reasons"
- Request confirmation that Incognito has received your notice and will process your cancellation.
- Add the sentence: "Please confirm receipt of this letter and provide a cancellation reference number within 5 working days"
- Sign the letter in blue or black ink if printing on paper.
- Electronic signatures are acceptable if you send the notice by email, but post a hard copy as well for legal protection
Step 3: send your cancellation notice by post
- Print your signed letter on a single page or attach your printed letter to an email for hybrid sending.
- Post the original signed letter to Incognito's Cardiff office address (provided at the end of this guide)
- Use Royal Mail Special Delivery or Recorded Delivery to ensure proof of sending
- Keep the Royal Mail receipt and tracking number.
- This serves as proof of posting and is essential if Incognito denies receiving your notice
- File this receipt in a folder dedicated to your cancellation documentation
- Send a copy of the same letter by email to Incognito's customer service contact if an email address is listed on their website.
- Include "Cancellation Notice" in the email subject line
- Request a read receipt to confirm delivery
- Keep a copy of your cancellation letter and all supporting documents.
- Store these in a secure folder or digital location for at least two years after cancellation is complete
Step 4: confirm receipt and monitor your cancellation
- Wait 5 to 10 working days after posting your notice.
- Incognito should acknowledge receipt and provide a cancellation reference number
- If you do not hear back, send a follow-up email requesting confirmation
- Log into your online account portal and check your account status.
- Your account may show a "Cancellation Pending" status or indicate a final invoice date
- Yafee advises taking a screenshot of this page as evidence of the cancellation request
- Monitor your bank account or billing method to ensure no charges are taken after your cancellation effective date.
- If a charge appears after your service should have ended, contact Incognito immediately and note the transaction reference
Your legal position as a consumer
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 establishes your statutory rights when cancelling a telecommunications service. Incognito must honour your written cancellation notice provided it complies with your contract terms and applies the correct notice period.
If your contract specifies a 30-day notice period, Incognito cannot demand more than 30 days notice or impose penalties for late notice if you provide the full 30 days in advance. If Incognito refuses to process your cancellation or charges you an unreasonable early exit fee, you may lodge a complaint with Ofcom, the independent regulator for telecommunications in the United Kingdom. Ofcom has the power to investigate complaints and order Incognito to refund charges if they are deemed unfair.
Your legal position is strengthened if you send your cancellation notice in writing and retain proof of sending. Email with a read receipt, Royal Mail Recorded Delivery, or a signed letter posted in front of a witness all constitute valid evidence that you issued proper notice. Verbal cancellation requests over the telephone are not legally sufficient and should never be your sole method of notification.
Early exit charges and refund eligibility
If you are cancelling a fixed-term contract before the end date, Incognito will calculate an early exit charge based on the remaining contract value. This charge is not a fine but a genuine pre-estimate of the cost Incognito incurs when you leave early.
How early exit charges are calculated
Incognito typically calculates the early exit charge by multiplying the number of remaining months in your contract by your monthly service fee. For example, if you have 10 months remaining on a £30 per month contract, your early exit charge would be approximately £300. Some contracts include a discount element, so the charge may be slightly lower than this simple calculation.
Disputing an excessive early exit charge
If the early exit charge seems disproportionately high, you have the right to dispute it under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Send a formal letter to Incognito requesting an itemised breakdown of how the charge was calculated. Ask Incognito to justify how the charge represents a genuine pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty.
Incognito must respond within 30 days with a detailed explanation. If you remain unconvinced, escalate your complaint to Ofcom. Ofcom can review whether the charge is fair and proportionate and may order a refund if the charge is deemed punitive rather than compensatory.
Refunds after cancellation
Any overpayment or credit on your account will be refunded once your service is fully cancelled and all outstanding bills have been settled. Incognito must process refunds within 30 days of your cancellation effective date. If you have paid for services not yet rendered (for example, a full month's service fee when you cancel mid-month), you are entitled to a pro-rata refund for the unused portion.
Request your refund in writing as part of your cancellation notice. Include your bank details and ask Incognito to confirm the refund amount and expected payment date. Yafee recommends noting the expected refund date in your calendar so you can follow up if the refund does not arrive within 35 days.
Timeline and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding the cancellation timeline helps you plan your next steps and know when your service will formally end.
The 30-day notice period
Your cancellation becomes effective 30 days from the date you send your written notice to Incognito. This is the legally mandated notice period for most broadband contracts in the United Kingdom. If you send your notice on 1 January, your service will end on 31 January (assuming Incognito receives and acknowledges your notice promptly).
Final invoice and billing
Incognito will send you a final invoice within 30 days of your cancellation effective date. This invoice will itemise any charges up to and including your cancellation date, minus any credit you are owed. If you have overpaid, the final invoice will show a credit rather than a charge.
Service disconnection
Your broadband service will be disconnected automatically on your cancellation effective date. You do not need to return any equipment unless your contract specifies this. However, Yafee advises confirming with Incognito whether you are required to return a router, modem, or other equipment. Some contracts require you to return equipment within 14 days of cancellation or face a replacement charge.
After service ends
Once your service is disconnected, you will not be charged any further fees unless you have an outstanding balance from your final invoice. If you owe money for early exit charges or remaining contract fees, Incognito may pursue this debt through a debt recovery agency if you do not pay within the timeframe stated on your final invoice.
Common mistakes to avoid
Cancellations often go wrong due to simple procedural errors, but these mistakes are entirely avoidable if you know what to watch for. Take a moment to double-check your submission before you send it.
Mistake 1: failing to provide written notice
Telephone cancellation requests are not legally binding. Incognito can claim they have no record of your cancellation request if it was only made verbally. Always send written notice by post or email. A combination of both methods gives you the strongest legal protection.
Mistake 2: providing insufficient notice period
Your contract requires a specific notice period, usually 30 days. If you send notice less than 30 days before your intended cancellation date, Incognito can refuse to cancel and extend your service until the full 30 days have elapsed from the date you submitted proper notice.
Mistake 3: miscalculating the 30-day notice period
Count 30 days forward from the date you send your notice, not from the date Incognito receives it. Use a calendar or online date calculator to avoid errors. If you miscalculate and send notice with only 20 days before your intended end date, your cancellation will not take effect until 10 days later than you expected.
Mistake 4: not retaining proof of sending
If you post your cancellation letter by standard Royal Mail, you have no proof that Incognito received it. Use Recorded Delivery or Special Delivery instead. If you email, request a read receipt and take a screenshot of the confirmed delivery notification.
Mistake 5: ignoring your final invoice
Incognito will send you a final invoice showing any early exit charges or outstanding fees. Do not ignore this invoice. Review it carefully and dispute any charges you believe are incorrect. If you do not respond within the timeframe stated on the invoice, Incognito may escalate the debt to a collection agency.
Mistake 6: not requesting an itemised breakdown of charges
If your early exit charge seems high, ask Incognito in writing to explain how it was calculated. This documentation is essential if you decide to escalate a complaint to Ofcom. Without this breakdown, you have little evidence to support a dispute.
After cancellation: your next steps
Once your Incognito service is cancelled, a few essential actions remain to close out your account fully and protect your financial position. Do not assume cancellation is complete simply because your service has been disconnected.
Confirm the final invoice has been processed
When your final invoice arrives, review every charge line by line. Check that you have not been charged for any service period after your cancellation effective date. If your cancellation was effective on 31 January, you should not see any charges dated 1 February or later.
Monitor your bank account or card for continued charges
Some direct debit arrangements continue automatically until you cancel them with your bank. Log into your bank's website and check your standing orders and recurring payments. Cancel any ongoing Incognito payments manually if Incognito has not done so already.
Request a final statement of account
Email Incognito and request a letter confirming that your account has been closed and no outstanding balance remains. This letter is useful for your records and may be needed if any dispute arises later.
Update your service provider records
If you are switching to a new broadband provider, inform them of your Incognito cancellation date. Ensure that your new provider's service begins on or after your Incognito cancellation effective date to avoid a gap in coverage.

If Incognito refuses to cancel or disputes your request
Most cancellations are processed smoothly, but occasionally Incognito may claim your notice was invalid or refuse to honour your cancellation request. Know your escalation options before this situation arises.
Document everything before escalating
Gather all evidence of your cancellation attempt: your original letter, proof of posting, email confirmations, screenshots of your account status, and any responses from Incognito. Create a timeline showing when you sent notice, when Incognito acknowledged it (or failed to acknowledge it), and what response you received.
Send a formal dispute letter
If Incognito refuses to cancel, send a formal letter reiterating your cancellation request and citing the terms of your contract. Include a copy of your original cancellation letter and all proof of sending. State that you expect Incognito to process your cancellation within 14 days or you will escalate the matter to Ofcom.
Lodge a complaint with ofcom
If Incognito does not respond or refuses to honour your cancellation request within 14 days of your formal dispute letter, you may lodge a complaint with Ofcom. Ofcom will investigate whether Incognito has breached the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and may order your cancellation to be processed with compensation for any losses you have incurred.
Visit the Ofcom complaints portal at www.ofcom.org.uk and select "Make a complaint". Provide Ofcom with all documentation relating to your cancellation attempt. Ofcom will contact Incognito and request their response within a set timeframe. You will be notified of the outcome.
Cancellation address and contact information
Send your written cancellation notice to the following address:
Incognito Limited
Customer Service Department
Cardiff Office
Wales
United Kingdom
For email submissions, contact Incognito's customer service team via the email address listed on your contract or billing statement. Always send both a postal letter and an email copy for maximum legal protection.
Summary: taking control of your Incognito cancellation
Cancelling your Incognito broadband service is a straightforward process if you follow the correct legal procedures and provide formal written notice. Your rights are protected by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Communications Act 2003, and Ofcom's regulatory framework. You must provide 30 days written notice to your Cardiff office, retain proof of sending, and monitor your account until your service is fully disconnected and your final invoice is processed.
Do not rely on telephone conversations or informal requests. Always send notice in writing by post and email, calculate your notice period carefully, and dispute any charges that seem unreasonable. If Incognito refuses to cancel or charges you an excessive early exit fee, escalate your complaint to Ofcom without delay.
