How to cancel LogMeIn in nigeria: your consumer rights and step-by-step cancellation guide
What LogMeIn is and why you might cancel
LogMeIn (also marketed under the GoTo brand for certain products) is a remote access and remote support platform that lets you control computers from a distance. Whether you work from home, manage multiple office locations, or provide technical support to clients, LogMeIn Pro, LogMeIn Rescue, and related services give you secure access to files, device diagnostics, and real-time assistance across devices.
The platform operates on automatic renewal-your subscription charges your payment method every billing period unless you actively cancel. Many Nigerian users discover unexpected charges on their accounts because cancellation is deliberately hidden from your account dashboard. You cannot simply click a "Cancel" button; instead, you must contact customer support directly.
You may want to cancel if you've switched to a competing remote access tool, your budget no longer supports the subscription cost, or you found unauthorized charges. Yafee has helped Nigerian consumers understand their cancellation rights and regain control of unwanted subscriptions. This guide walks you through every procedural step under Nigerian consumer law.
Common reasons to use LogMeIn
Individuals use LogMeIn to access home or office computers remotely, share files securely, and manage devices across multiple locations. Businesses rely on LogMeIn Rescue to deliver technical support, run device diagnostics, and assist customers or staff members troubleshooting technical issues.
Why cancellation is critical for nigerian subscribers
Auto-renewal is LogMeIn's default billing model. Once your trial or initial contract period ends, charges continue every month, quarter, or year-depending on your subscription tier-unless you take action to cancel. Many Nigerian subscribers lose hundreds of naira to unwanted recurring charges because they did not know cancellation required direct contact with support.
Your consumer rights under nigerian law
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (2019) establishes your specific rights when you purchase, use, and cancel digital services like LogMeIn.
Under this law, companies must disclose all subscription terms clearly and upfront before you pay. If LogMeIn failed to make cancellation procedures obvious at the point of purchase, or if charges appeared on your bill without proper consent, you have legal grounds to dispute those charges and recover funds.
What the federal competition and consumer protection act protects you against
The Act protects you from unfair contract terms, hidden automatic renewal charges, and misleading billing practices. Specifically, the law prohibits companies from making cancellation materially harder than purchase. If LogMeIn made it unnecessarily difficult to cancel, failed to send renewal reminders, or charged you without clear prior authorization, you can escalate your complaint to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
The FCCPC is Nigeria's consumer enforcement body with power to investigate complaints, order refunds, and impose penalties on businesses that breach consumer protection rules.
Your legal position on refunds
LogMeIn's published policy states no refund for unused subscription time. However, this internal policy does not override your statutory rights under Nigerian law. If you cancel mid-term and discover the charges were unauthorized, or if the service was not delivered as promised, you can dispute the charge through your bank or payment processor and file a complaint with FCCPC. Keep all emails, receipts, and billing statements-these become essential evidence if you escalate a dispute.

Methods to cancel LogMeIn from nigeria
LogMeIn does not offer a self-service cancellation option in your account dashboard. You must reach out to their customer support team directly, regardless of whether you subscribed via the website, Apple App Store, Google Play, or another platform.
Contact LogMeIn support in nigeria
Visit the official LogMeIn support page for your specific service (LogMeIn Pro, LogMeIn Rescue, or GoTo products). From Nigeria, you can submit a support request through their online contact form, email support, or live chat if available. Have your subscription ID, registered email address, and invoice or order number ready before you contact them. Yafee recommends documenting the exact date and time you submit your cancellation request.
Key contact channels
- Online support form: logmein.com/support (select your product, then submit a ticket)
- Email support: [email protected] or [email protected] (depending on your product)
- Live chat: available during business hours on their support portal
- Registered mail (as fallback): LogMeIn Inc., 100 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02110, USA
Step-by-step cancellation process
Follow these steps to cancel your LogMeIn subscription and stop automatic renewal charges.
Step 1: log in to your LogMeIn account
- Go to logmein.com or the GoTo product portal (depending on which service you use).
- Enter your registered email address and password.
- Complete any two-factor authentication prompts.
- Navigate to your account settings or billing section to locate your subscription details and upcoming renewal date.
Step 2: gather your account information
- Write down your subscription ID (usually found in your account settings or on your invoice).
- Note your registered email address.
- Locate your most recent invoice or order number.
- Document your current billing cycle and next renewal date.
- Take screenshots of your account page and billing history for your records.
Step 3: submit your cancellation request
- Visit logmein.com/support and select your product (Pro, Rescue, or GoTo).
- Click "Submit a support ticket" or "Contact support."
- Complete the form with the following information:
- Your subscription ID
- Registered email address
- Invoice or order number
- Clear statement: "I wish to cancel my LogMeIn subscription effective immediately."
- Your reason for cancellation (optional but helpful)
- Select "Billing" or "Account Management" as the issue category.
- Submit the ticket and save the confirmation email or ticket number.
Step 4: follow up via email (recommended)
- Send a follow-up email to [email protected] with the subject "Cancellation Request - Subscription ID [YOUR_ID]."
- In the body, state your subscription ID, registered email, and cancellation request date.
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation within 24 hours.
- Keep this email and any responses as evidence of your cancellation request.
Step 5: verify cancellation and monitor your account
- Wait for LogMeIn support to respond (typically within 24 to 48 hours).
- Confirm that your subscription status changes to "cancelled" or "inactive" in your account dashboard.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation email from LogMeIn.
- Monitor your bank or payment processor account to ensure no renewal charge posts on your next billing date.
- If a charge appears after cancellation, file a chargeback dispute with your bank immediately.
Step 6: escalate to yafee if LogMeIn does not respond
If LogMeIn does not confirm your cancellation within 48 hours, or if a renewal charge posts after your cancellation request, Yafee recommends escalating to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). File a formal consumer complaint at fccpc.gov.ng with copies of your cancellation email, support ticket, and bank statements showing unauthorized charges. FCCPC has authority to order refunds and investigate LogMeIn's billing practices in Nigeria.
What happens after you cancel LogMeIn
Cancellation does not happen instantly. LogMeIn processes cancellations within 24 to 48 hours of your support request. During this window, you retain access to your account and all features.
Once cancellation is confirmed, your access ends immediately-you cannot log in to LogMeIn to access remote computers or files. If you need to retrieve any files or data before cancellation, do so before submitting your cancellation request. After cancellation, no renewal charge will post to your account on the next billing date, unless you have multiple subscriptions with LogMeIn (in which case you must cancel each one separately).
If a charge posts after cancellation
Occasionally, a renewal charge may post before LogMeIn processes your cancellation request. If this happens, follow these steps:
- Contact your bank or payment processor immediately and explain the unauthorized charge.
- Request a chargeback or refund dispute-you have statutory protection under Nigerian consumer law.
- Forward your cancellation email and LogMeIn support ticket to your bank as evidence.
- File a complaint with FCCPC if LogMeIn refuses to refund the erroneous charge within 7 days.
Downgrading instead of cancelling
If you want to keep some remote access functionality but reduce your cost, contact LogMeIn support to downgrade to a lower-tier plan instead of cancelling entirely. Downgrades are processed more quickly than cancellations and allow you to retain access with fewer features at a lower monthly cost.
Common mistakes when cancelling LogMeIn
Cancelling LogMeIn is straightforward once you know the correct process-but several traps can delay your cancellation or leave you liable for unwanted charges.
Mistake 1: assuming you can cancel through your account dashboard
LogMeIn deliberately does not offer a self-service cancellation button. Many users look for a "Cancel subscription" link in their account settings, fail to find one, and assume their cancellation request failed. Always contact support directly via email or their online ticket system-this is the only official cancellation method.
Mistake 2: not documenting your cancellation request
If you call LogMeIn support verbally without following up in writing, you have no evidence that you requested cancellation. Always submit your cancellation via email or their online support form and save the confirmation. This protects you if a renewal charge posts and you need to dispute it with FCCPC or your bank.
Mistake 3: cancelling close to your renewal date
If you cancel on the day before your renewal date, LogMeIn may not process your request in time to stop the charge. Cancel at least 5 days before your renewal date to allow processing time. Check your account for your exact renewal date before submitting your cancellation request.
Mistake 4: forgetting you have multiple LogMeIn subscriptions
If you signed up for multiple products (LogMeIn Pro and LogMeIn Rescue, for example), you must cancel each subscription separately. One cancellation request covers only one subscription. Review your account and any billing emails to identify all active subscriptions before contacting support.
Mistake 5: not checking for app store subscriptions
If you subscribed to LogMeIn through Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform, not directly with LogMeIn. Go to your App Store or Play Store settings, find LogMeIn, and cancel your subscription there. Yafee strongly recommends cancelling through the platform where you subscribed to ensure the cancellation is processed correctly.
Refund policy and dispute resolution
LogMeIn's standard policy does not offer refunds for unused subscription time after cancellation. However, Nigerian consumer law gives you stronger protections than LogMeIn's internal policy.
When you can request a refund
You have grounds to request a refund in the following situations:
- A renewal charge posted after you submitted a cancellation request (unauthorized charge)
- LogMeIn failed to disclose cancellation procedures clearly at the point of purchase
- You cancelled within 14 days of purchase and the service did not perform as described
- You discover LogMeIn used misleading billing language or failed to send renewal reminders as required by law
How to dispute a charge with your bank
- Contact your bank or payment processor (Flutterwave, Paystack, GTBank, etc.) within 30 days of the unauthorized charge.
- Explain that you cancelled your LogMeIn subscription and request a chargeback or refund dispute.
- Provide your bank with:
- Copies of your cancellation email and LogMeIn support ticket
- Screenshots of your account showing cancellation status
- Your billing statement showing the disputed charge
- Your bank will investigate and, in most cases, refund the charge within 5 to 10 business days.
Escalating to FCCPC if LogMeIn refuses to cooperate
If LogMeIn refuses to acknowledge your cancellation or refund a disputed charge, file a formal consumer complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission. Visit fccpc.gov.ng, complete the online complaint form, and submit copies of all relevant evidence. FCCPC will investigate at no cost to you and can order LogMeIn to refund charges and compensate you for losses.

Primary cancellation contacts

- Email support: [email protected] or [email protected]
- Live chat: available on their support portal during business hours
Registered mail (fallback option)

LogMeIn Inc.

Boston, MA 02110
United States of America
Include your subscription ID, registered email address, invoice number, and a clear statement requesting cancellation. Send your letter via a courier service that provides tracking (DHL, FedEx, or your local postal service's registered mail option). Keep the tracking number and receipt as evidence of your cancellation request.
Conclusion: cancel LogMeIn and protect your rights under nigerian law
LogMeIn's automatic renewal model and hidden cancellation process are deliberately designed to discourage users from cancelling. However, Nigerian consumer law-specifically the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (2019)-protects you from unfair cancellation practices and unauthorized charges. You have the right to cancel at any time, and companies cannot make cancellation harder than purchase.
Yafee has guided thousands of Nigerian consumers through the LogMeIn cancellation process and helped recover funds from unauthorized renewal charges. By following the steps in this guide-documenting your request, submitting cancellation via email, and monitoring your account for unwanted charges-you can cancel confidently and avoid paying for services you no longer use.
If LogMeIn refuses to process your cancellation or disputes arise, Yafee recommends escalating immediately to FCCPC (fccpc.gov.ng) or filing a chargeback with your bank. Your consumer rights in Nigeria are enforceable, and enforcement bodies take automatic renewal disputes seriously. Cancel today, document every step, and reclaim control of your subscriptions.
