Frequently asked questions
Cancel Detectico: The Right Way to Protect Your Wallet
How to cancel Detectico in nigeria and stop unexpected charges
What Detectico is and why nigerians are cancelling
Detectico is a phone-number lookup and caller identification service operating across multiple platforms in Nigeria. The platform promises reverse lookup, tracking, and data-leak checks, but charges you monthly unless you actively disable auto-renewal. Many Nigerian users sign up for a short trial, overlook the cancellation deadline, and discover unexpected charges on their bank statement. At Yafee, we help thousands of consumers regain control of their recurring subscriptions every month, and Detectico cancellations remain among the most frequent requests we process.
How Detectico charges you
Detectico operates on a recurring billing model that begins with a low-cost entry point. You start with a 1-day trial at approximately NGN 550, but the real charge arrives when your trial ends and the monthly subscription activates at roughly NGN 30,600. The critical risk: Detectico auto-renews every 30 days unless you manually cancel at least one day before your renewal date. If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, the charge appears on those platforms, not directly from Detectico's own billing system. This layered approach makes tracking and cancellation more complex.
Why you should cancel now if you are not using it
If you no longer use Detectico, every month that passes costs you real money. In Nigeria, where household budgets are carefully managed, NGN 30,600 monthly accumulates to over NGN 366,000 per year. You deserve to stop this recurring drain. Yafee exists to ensure you cancel cleanly, recover refunds where entitled, and prevent future surprise charges.
Your consumer rights under nigerian law
Before you cancel, understand the legal framework that protects you.
The federal competition and consumer protection act 2018
Nigeria's FCCPA 2018 is your legal foundation against unfair billing practices. Under this statute, you hold the right to clear and truthful information about what you are purchasing, fair and honest treatment, and the explicit right to cancel a service that fails to meet reasonable standards. Critically, if Detectico fails to disclose that auto-renewal will occur or charges you without proper, informed consent, you can cite the FCCPA when demanding a refund. The act also mandates that businesses honour cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically 14 days or less. This is not a discretionary courtesy; it is a legal obligation.
Your legal position
If you paid for a monthly subscription and Detectico auto-renewed without your explicit, informed consent, or if the service failed to deliver promised features, you hold grounds for a refund under the FCCPA 2018. This is not guaranteed, but it is enforceable leverage. When you contact Detectico support, reference the FCCPA 2018 and your consumer right to fair dealing. If they refuse, escalate to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Nigeria's statutory consumer protection authority. The FCCPC investigates complaints and can compel refunds.
Key protections for nigerian consumers
The FCCPA 2018 explicitly protects you from:
- Misleading or incomplete information about charges and auto-renewal terms
- Charging your account without clear, prior consent
- Failing to provide an easy cancellation mechanism
- Refusing reasonable refunds for services not delivered
If Detectico violates any of these, you have legal standing to demand redress.
Detectico pricing breakdown
Know exactly what you are paying before you cancel.
Current Detectico subscription plans in nigeria
| Plan type | Price (NGN) | Billing cycle | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-day trial | ~NGN 550 | 24 hours | Full access to all features for one day |
| Monthly subscription | ~NGN 30,600 | Every 30 days (auto-renewal enabled) | Unlimited tracking, reverse lookup, data-leak checks, voice messaging |
| App Store (iOS) | Variable (USD converted) | Monthly auto-renewal | Same as above, charged via Apple |
| Google Play (Android) | Variable (USD converted) | Monthly auto-renewal | Same as above, charged via Google |
Important pricing notes for nigerian users
Detectico charges primarily in USD, but your bank or app store converts the amount to Nigerian Naira at their exchange rate. This means you might see slightly different amounts depending on when the transaction processes and the prevailing exchange rate. The charge appears on your statement as a USD transaction, making it harder to track and verify. Always check your most recent bank statement and app store billing history to confirm your exact subscription price.
Should you cancel Detectico?
Evaluate whether cancellation is right for you.
Reasons to cancel Detectico
- You no longer use the app or its features
- You forgot to cancel after the trial and do not want to continue
- The service does not deliver the promised functionality
- You found a free or cheaper alternative
- Unexpected charges appeared on your account
- The monthly cost of NGN 30,600 no longer fits your budget
Reasons you might keep Detectico

Timeline: what happens after you cancel
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline removes confusion and helps you plan.
Immediately after cancellation
Once you confirm cancellation, Detectico will disable auto-renewal. You will not be charged again. However, you retain access to all paid features until your current billing period expires. For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your next renewal was due 20 April, you keep full access until 20 April, then the app locks.
At the end of your billing cycle
On your renewal date, Detectico will not charge you. Your access will terminate. The app may display a message like "Your subscription has ended" or "Renew to continue". You will lose access to all premium features, but you can redownload the app and create a new free account if needed.
Refund timeline
If you are entitled to a refund, the timeline depends on how you subscribed:
- Apple App Store refunds: 3-5 business days after approval
- Google Play refunds: 5-10 business days after approval
- Direct Detectico refunds: 7-14 business days after approval
- Bank processing: an additional 2-3 business days
Always check your bank statement to confirm the refund has arrived.
How to request a refund from Detectico
You may be entitled to a refund under Nigerian consumer law.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
You have already taken the important step of deciding to cancel. Avoid these pitfalls to ensure a clean exit.
Mistake 1: cancelling your app instead of your subscription
Deleting the Detectico app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Detectico will continue to charge you every month because the auto-renewal setting remains active in your app store account or on Detectico's billing system. You must cancel the subscription itself, then delete the app.
Mistake 2: assuming your trial cancels automatically
The 1-day Detectico trial does not auto-cancel. If you do not manually disable auto-renewal before the trial ends, you will be charged NGN 30,600 on day two. Mark your calendar immediately after signing up and cancel before your trial expires.
Mistake 3: not cancelling before your renewal date
If today is 10 April and your renewal is 20 April, you have only 10 days to cancel before you are charged again. Delay and you will incur another month of fees. Cancel immediately when you decide to leave.
Mistake 4: forgetting to cancel on multiple platforms
If you subscribed through both Google Play and the Detectico website, you must cancel both. A charge from either platform counts as an active subscription. Check all your subscription sources.
Mistake 5: not keeping proof of cancellation
Take screenshots of every cancellation confirmation. If Detectico charges you after cancellation, you need proof that you requested it. This is your evidence in a dispute with the FCCPC or your bank.
Mistake 6: ignoring unexpected charges after cancellation
If you cancelled but a charge still appears, contact your bank or app store immediately. Do not assume it is an error that will resolve itself. Raise a chargeback or dispute within 30 days of the charge date.
After cancellation: what to do next
Cancellation is complete, but these follow-up steps protect you further.
Monitor your accounts
Check your bank statement and app store billing history for the next 60 days to ensure no further charges appear. If you see a charge after cancellation, raise a dispute with your bank or app store within 30 days of the charge date. The FCCPA 2018 entitles you to a refund if Detectico violates the cancellation and billing terms.
Keep cancellation records
Store all screenshots, confirmation emails, and correspondence in a dedicated folder (digital or physical). These documents prove you cancelled and are essential if you need to escalate to the FCCPC or take legal action.
Report the experience if necessary
If Detectico refused to cancel, charged you after cancellation, or violated the FCCPA 2018, file a complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). The FCCPC investigates and can compel refunds and penalties. You can file a complaint online at the FCCPC website or via email.
Explore alternatives
If you need caller identification or reverse lookup, evaluate free or cheaper alternatives before re-subscribing to any paid service. Many free apps offer similar features without auto-renewal charges.

| Charge description | Amount (NGN) | When it appears | Action if unexpected |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-day trial | ~NGN 550 | On sign-up, automatically | Cancel auto-renewal immediately |
| Monthly subscription | ~NGN 30,600 | Every 30 days from trial end | Contact support with FCCPA 2018 reference |
| Refund (partial or full) | Variable | 3-14 days after approval | Monitor bank account; follow up if delayed |
When to escalate to the FCCPC
If Detectico refuses to cancel, denies a refund you are entitled to, or continues charging after cancellation, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is your enforcement body. Escalate when:
- Detectico does not respond to your cancellation request within 7 days
- Detectico refuses a refund for auto-renewal without consent
- You are charged after confirming cancellation
- The company claims you did not cancel when you have proof
- The service failed to deliver promised features
File a complaint with the FCCPC by visiting their official website or emailing their complaints unit. Include all documentation: screenshots, emails, bank statements, and proof of cancellation. The FCCPC has the authority to investigate and compel Detectico to issue refunds.
Final checklist: are you ready to cancel?
Before you proceed, confirm you have gathered everything you need.
- Your Detectico account login credentials
- Your next billing or renewal date
- The subscription method (Apple, Google, or direct)
- A screenshot or photo capability to document the cancellation
- Access to your email for confirmation messages
- Your bank statement or app store history to verify charges
If you have all these in place, you are ready to cancel. Yafee has helped thousands of Nigerian consumers reclaim control of their subscriptions and eliminate unwanted recurring charges. Follow the steps above for your specific subscription platform, keep your proof of cancellation, and monitor your accounts for the next two months. If you encounter resistance from Detectico, reference the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018 and escalate to the FCCPC. Your right to fair billing practices is protected by Nigerian law, and Yafee is here to help you understand and exercise those rights. Cancel today and stop the bleeding from your wallet.
