How to cancel Letsvpn in new zealand and protect your money

What Letsvpn is and why you might cancel

Letsvpn is a virtual private network (VPN) service that encrypts your internet traffic and masks your IP address to improve privacy and bypass geographic restrictions. You install the app on your device, connect to one of their servers, and browse with a hidden location.

Many New Zealand users subscribe expecting reliable, fast access to content worldwide. However, Letsvpn does not publish a transparent cancellation or refund policy on their publicly available Terms of Service, which creates confusion when you want to leave. At Yafee, we have built this guide to show you exactly how to cancel, what your legal rights are under New Zealand consumer law, and how to recover money if the service failed to deliver.

Common reasons people cancel Letsvpn

You might cancel because the connection is unstable, unblocking doesn't work as promised, you have found a cheaper alternative, or you no longer need a VPN. Whatever your reason, you deserve a clear cancellation process and transparent billing. Your decision to leave is legitimate, and your money is at stake.

Why a published policy matters

Many VPN providers, including Letsvpn, do not post refund or cancellation terms in plain sight. This silence is not accidental; it can trap you in recurring charges or force you to hunt for support contacts. Yafee believes every New Zealand consumer deserves clarity before they hand over money and after they decide to leave.

Your consumer rights under new zealand law

The Consumer Guarantees Act 2015 (CGA) is your strongest legal protection against unfair subscription practices and service failures.

What the consumer guarantees act requires

Under section 9 of the CGA, Letsvpn must supply a service that is of acceptable quality, safe, and fit for purpose. "Acceptable quality" means the service works as a reasonable consumer would expect. If Letsvpn promised unlimited data but throttles your speed, failed to unblock content you paid to access, or has been misrepresented in marketing, you have grounds to demand a refund or penalty-free cancellation.

Critically, the CGA overrides any unfair terms in Letsvpn's contract. Even if their Terms of Service say "no refunds," the law protects you. The Commerce Commission (the New Zealand regulator) enforces the CGA and will investigate complaints if Letsvpn breaches it.

Your legal position

If Letsvpn fails to meet the CGA standard, you can request a refund or cancellation without penalty within a reasonable time of discovering the fault. You do not need Letsvpn's permission; the law gives you this right. Keep evidence (screenshots, speed tests, error messages) to support your claim.

When the CGA applies and when it doesn't

The Act protects you if the service quality drops, features don't work, or marketing was misleading. It does not protect you if you simply changed your mind about a service that works correctly, or if you knowingly bought a lower-tier plan with fewer features. However, if Letsvpn continues to charge you after you have cancelled, or refuses to let you cancel at all, that is a separate breach worth escalating to the Commerce Commission.

How to cancel Letsvpn: step-by-step methods

Your cancellation route depends on where you subscribed and how you pay. Follow the steps that match your situation.

Cancellation if you subscribed directly on the Letsvpn website

1. Log in to your Letsvpn account dashboard.
   • Visit letsvpn.com and enter your email and password.
   • Look for a "Manage Subscription," "Billing," "Account Settings," or "Plans" section in the main menu or profile dropdown.
2. Locate your active subscription and look for a cancellation or downgrade button.
   • Click the button and follow any confirmation prompts.
   • Screenshot the confirmation page showing cancellation was processed.
   • Note the date and any reference number provided.
3. If no self-service cancellation option exists, contact Letsvpn support directly.
   • Email their support team at the address listed on their website.
   • State "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription" and provide your account email, username, and order ID (from your first invoice).
   • Ask for a cancellation confirmation email.
   • If they reply asking why you are cancelling, state the reason clearly: for example, "The service does not unblock the content promised" or "The connection is unstable and does not meet acceptable quality standards under the Consumer Guarantees Act."
4. Verify that recurring charges have stopped.
   • Check your bank or credit card statement 5-7 days after your cancellation date.
   • If a charge appears, contact Letsvpn immediately and request a refund.

Cancellation if you subscribed via apple app store or google play

1. Open the App Store or Google Play Store on your device.
   • On iPhone/iPad: go to Settings, tap your Apple ID, select "Subscriptions," then tap "Letsvpn" and choose "Cancel Subscription."
   • On Android: open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select "Payments and Subscriptions," then "Subscriptions," tap "Letsvpn," and choose "Cancel Subscription."
2. Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm cancellation.
   • Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation.
   • Note the date-your service will continue until the end of your current billing cycle.
3. Monitor your payment method to ensure no further charges appear after your billing cycle ends.
   • If charges continue, contact Apple or Google for a refund and report the issue to Letsvpn.

Cancellation if you subscribed via PayPal or another payment processor

1. Log in to your PayPal account (or the relevant payment processor).
   • Go to "Settings" or "Account," then find "Subscriptions" or "Recurring Payments."
   • Look for Letsvpn in your active subscriptions list.
2. Click on the Letsvpn subscription and select "Cancel" or "Stop Payment."
   • Confirm cancellation and screenshot the result.
3. Email Letsvpn support to notify them of the cancellation.
   • State: "I have cancelled my recurring payment via PayPal/[processor name] as of [date]. Please confirm that my account is terminated and no further charges will be attempted."
   • Keep a copy of this email.

Refunds and what to expect after cancellation

After you cancel, your service access will typically end at the close of your current billing cycle. Letsvpn rarely offers refunds for partial months unless the service failed to meet Consumer Guarantees Act standards.

When you can claim a refund

Under the CGA, you can demand a refund if Letsvpn failed to deliver acceptable quality. This includes: the service dropped frequently, speeds were far below advertised rates, unblocking did not work for the content you paid for, or the service was misrepresented in their marketing. Document all failures with screenshots, speed test results, and error logs.

How to request a refund

1. Gather evidence of the service failure.
   • Take screenshots showing error messages, connection failures, or content that did not unblock.
   • Run a speed test while connected to Letsvpn and compare it to your normal speeds; document the difference.
   • Keep copies of your invoice and any marketing materials that promised features the service did not deliver.
2. Email Letsvpn support with a formal refund request.
   • State: "I am requesting a refund under the Consumer Guarantees Act 2015 because the service did not meet acceptable quality standards. [Insert specific failures here]. I attach evidence of these failures. Please process a refund to my original payment method within 10 working days."
   • Attach your evidence and keep a copy of this email.
3. If Letsvpn refuses or ignores your request after 10 days, escalate to the Commerce Commission.
   • Visit www.commissionerforcomplaints.govt.nz or contact the Commerce Commission directly.
   • File a complaint stating that Letsvpn supplied a service in breach of the Consumer Guarantees Act and refused to refund.
   • Include your evidence, copies of your communications with Letsvpn, and the name and address of the company (see contact details below).

Timeline for refunds

Letsvpn should process a refund within 10-14 working days of your request. If they claim they cannot refund because of their Terms of Service, remind them that the CGA overrides unfair contract terms. If they still refuse, the Commerce Commission can compel a refund through enforcement action.

Letsvpn pricing and plan options

Understanding what you are paying for makes it easier to spot service failures and justify a refund claim.

Prices are approximate and subject to change. If Letsvpn advertises features on this table but does not deliver them, that is grounds for a refund claim under the CGA.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancellation is straightforward if you know what to watch for. These errors trap many users into paying longer than they intended.

Deleting the app without cancelling the subscription

Removing the Letsvpn app from your device does not cancel your subscription. Charges will continue. Always cancel via your account dashboard, the App Store, or by emailing support before you delete the app. Yafee recommends checking your bank statement two weeks after app deletion to confirm no charges appear.

Assuming cancellation is instant

Most subscriptions run until the end of your billing cycle after cancellation. If you cancel on the 15th of the month and your cycle ends on the 30th, you retain access until the 30th. Charges stop after that date. This is standard practice and legal under the CGA.

Not keeping cancellation confirmation

Always screenshot your cancellation confirmation. If Letsvpn charges you again and claims they never received the cancellation, your screenshot is evidence. Email confirmations are equally important-forward them to yourself for safekeeping.

Ignoring a charge after cancellation

If a charge appears 5-7 days after your cancellation date, contact Letsvpn immediately and request a refund. Do not wait. The longer you delay, the harder it becomes to prove the charge was unauthorized. Contact your bank if Letsvpn refuses.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation is not the end of your relationship with Letsvpn if service failures occurred. You still have the right to pursue a refund and lodge a complaint.

Monitoring your account and payment method

For 30 days after cancellation, check your bank or credit card statement weekly. Letsvpn should not charge you, but errors happen. If an unauthorized charge appears, contact your bank immediately and dispute it as "unauthorized subscription charge." Report the charge to Letsvpn in writing as well.

Pursuing a refund for past service failures

You can request a refund for any month in which the service failed to meet CGA standards, even after cancellation. For example, if Letsvpn was unreliable in June, you can request a June refund in August. Gather your evidence and submit a formal refund request as described above.

Escalating to the commerce commission

If Letsvpn refuses your refund request within 10 working days, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission. The regulator investigates breaches of the CGA at no cost to you and can compel Letsvpn to refund. Yafee recommends keeping all communications and evidence organized in one folder for this purpose.

Letsvpn contact details and address

• Email support: Check the help section on their website (letsvpn.com) for the current support email address.
