Cancel Peoplelooker: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Peoplelooker and take back control of your data in new zealand
Understanding Peoplelooker and why new zealand users cancel
Peoplelooker is an online people-search platform that compiles public records, contact information, and background data into searchable reports. The service attracts New Zealand users looking to trace phone numbers, verify identities, or reconnect with past contacts. However, many consumers sign up for a trial or promotional offer and discover auto-renewal subscription charges mounting on their credit card before they realise what has happened.
If you have landed on this page, you are likely facing unexpected charges or simply no longer need the service. Yafee has built this guide to walk you through every step of cancelling Peoplelooker, protecting your rights under New Zealand law, and understanding what happens to your data once you have terminated your account.
Reasons new zealand consumers cancel Peoplelooker
You may decide to cancel because the trial period has ended and recurring charges now appear on your statement. Others find the service does not deliver the results they expected, or they have completed their search and no longer require ongoing access. Some users simply want to stop unsolicited charges and reclaim control of their subscription expenses.
Whatever your reason, cancelling should be straightforward. Yafee empowers you with the knowledge to do it quickly and correctly, ensuring no surprise charges follow your cancellation.
Types of Peoplelooker subscriptions
Peoplelooker charges differ depending on how you signed up. You may hold a direct website subscription with auto-renewal, a trial that is about to convert to paid membership, or a subscription billed through Apple's App Store or Google Play. Each path to cancellation is slightly different, which is why Yafee has mapped out every option below.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986 protect you against unfair subscription practices and hidden auto-renewal traps. Understanding these rights is your first line of defence.
What the consumer guarantees act 1993 protects
The Consumer Guarantees Act ensures that any service you pay for must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered with reasonable care. If Peoplelooker fails to deliver accurate information or the service does not work as advertised, you have grounds to claim a refund or seek compensation.
The Act also requires that services are provided within a reasonable time and that you receive accurate information before you purchase. If Peoplelooker charged you without clear consent or misrepresented what you would receive, you are protected under this legislation.
Auto-renewal obligations under the fair trading act 1986
The Fair Trading Act prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct. Auto-renewal subscriptions must be transparent: the business must clearly disclose the terms, obtain your express consent before charging, and make cancellation just as easy as signing up.
If Peoplelooker made cancellation difficult, buried terms in fine print, or charged you without clear notice, you can lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission (Te Komihana Tauhokohoko) or dispute the charge through your bank. Yafee advises keeping all confirmation emails and payment statements as evidence for any dispute.
Your legal position on cancellation and refunds
You have the right to cancel any subscription at any time. While refunds are not automatic for subscriptions already used, you may be entitled to one if you cancel within 14 days of purchase (the statutory cooling-off period for distance contracts under the Consumer Guarantees Act) or if Peoplelooker breached its obligations to you.
If you were charged without proper consent or the service failed to deliver as advertised, contact Peoplelooker first in writing, then escalate to the Commerce Commission if they refuse your claim. This sequence creates a record and strengthens your position.
How to cancel Peoplelooker on the web
Cancelling through your Peoplelooker account online is the fastest method and creates an immediate digital record of your request.
Step 1: log in to your Peoplelooker account
- Visit the Peoplelooker website and enter your email address and password
- If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot Password" link and follow the reset instructions sent to your email
- Once logged in, locate your account settings or subscription management section, typically found in a menu labelled "Account", "Settings", or "Billing"
Step 2: access your subscription settings
- Navigate to your account dashboard
- Look for a section labelled "Subscription", "Billing", "My Membership", or "Manage Subscription"
- Click the option to view your active subscriptions
- You should see your membership tier, next renewal date, and payment method
Step 3: initiate the cancellation request
- Select the "Cancel Subscription" or "Cancel Membership" button
- Peoplelooker may ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation or offer a discount to retain your membership; you are under no obligation to accept any retention offer
- Confirm your cancellation request when prompted
- You should receive an immediate on-screen confirmation and a cancellation email within minutes
Step 4: verify and document your cancellation
- Save or print the confirmation email for your records
- Log out of your account and attempt to log back in to confirm your access has been revoked
- Check your email for a final confirmation that your subscription has ended
- Note the cancellation date and confirmation number if provided

If you subscribed to Peoplelooker through a mobile app rather than the Peoplelooker website directly, you must cancel through the app store that processed the payment.
Cancelling an iOS subscription through apple app store
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Subscriptions"
- Find "Peoplelooker" in your active subscriptions list

- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner
- Select "Payments and subscriptions", then "Subscriptions"
- Find "Peoplelooker" in your list of active subscriptions
- Tap the subscription name and select "Cancel subscription"
- Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation
- Google Play will send a confirmation to your registered email address
Cancelling by post or phone
If you cannot access your online account or prefer written correspondence, you may cancel Peoplelooker by post or telephone. This method creates a formal paper trail, which Yafee recommends if you are disputing charges or seeking a refund.
Cancellation by post
- Obtain Peoplelooker's mailing address (listed at the end of this guide)
- Write a letter clearly stating your full name, email address, account number, and the date of your cancellation request
- Include the phrase "I request immediate cancellation of my Peoplelooker subscription effective immediately" to remove any ambiguity
- Send your letter via registered post or courier so you have proof of delivery
- Allow up to 10 business days for processing; Yafee advises following up with an email if you do not receive confirmation within this period
Cancellation by telephone or email
- Locate Peoplelooker's customer support contact details on their website
- Call their customer service line or send a cancellation email with your full name, account email, and clear statement of intent to cancel
- Request a cancellation confirmation number or reference to track your request
- Follow up in writing (email or post) within 48 hours to create a documented record
Understanding peoplelooker's pricing and what you might be charged
Pricing varies depending on your subscription tier and when you subscribed. The table below outlines the typical charges you may encounter.
| Subscription tier | Typical monthly cost (NZD) | Billing cycle | Trial offer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic subscription | $19.95 - $24.95 | Monthly auto-renewal | Often 1-3 days free |
| Premium subscription | $39.95 - $49.95 | Monthly auto-renewal | Often 3-7 days free |
| Annual prepaid | $199.95 - $249.95 (upfront) | Annual billing | Occasionally offered |
| Trial to paid conversion | First charge after trial ends | Depends on promotion | Requires explicit cancellation before trial ends |
What happens after you cancel Peoplelooker
Cancellation is final, and you should expect immediate changes to your account access and data rights.
Your account access after cancellation
Once Peoplelooker processes your cancellation, you lose immediate access to all search reports, background information, and your account dashboard. If you subscribed to an annual plan and cancelled before the year ended, you forfeit your remaining balance unless you can prove the service failed to perform as advertised.
Refunds and credit reversals
Peoplelooker does not typically offer refunds for partial months or unused portions of annual subscriptions unless you fall within the 14-day cooling-off period or can prove a breach of the Consumer Guarantees Act. However, you may dispute charges on your bank statement if you believe you were charged without consent or after cancellation. Contact your bank to initiate a chargeback if Peoplelooker continues to bill you after you cancel.
What happens to your personal data
Cancellation does not remove your data from Peoplelooker's systems or from the public records databases it sources. Your information may continue to appear in searches conducted by other users. If you wish to request deletion of your personal data, you may exercise your rights under the Privacy Act 2020 by contacting Peoplelooker directly and requesting they remove your details from their database. Allow 30 days for processing.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Cancelling Peoplelooker is straightforward if you follow the steps above, but a few missteps can leave you exposed to continued charges or unresolved disputes.
Mistake 1: assuming deletion equals cancellation
Deleting the Peoplelooker app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Charges continue until you formally terminate your subscription through the app store or the Peoplelooker website. Always cancel through your account settings, not by removing the app.
Mistake 2: ignoring confirmation receipts
Keep all cancellation confirmation emails and screenshots. If Peoplelooker continues charging you after cancellation, you need proof of your cancellation request. Yafee recommends saving these documents for at least one year.
Mistake 3: failing to confirm the cancellation took effect
Always verify that your next scheduled charge does not appear on your bank statement. Check your credit card or account 5-7 days after your cancellation request to confirm the charges have stopped. If a charge appears after cancellation, contact your bank immediately to dispute it.
Mistake 4: not keeping a paper trail for refund claims
If you plan to claim a refund, send at least one cancellation request in writing (email or post) so you have documented evidence. Yafee advises against relying solely on web-based cancellation forms if you intend to dispute charges later.
Timeline for cancelling Peoplelooker and receiving confirmation
The speed of cancellation depends on your method. Use the table below to set realistic expectations.
| Cancellation method | Processing time | Confirmation method |
|---|---|---|
| Online account portal | Immediate to 5 minutes | Instant on-screen, email within 1 hour |
| Apple App Store | Immediate | Apple sends confirmation email |
| Google Play Store | Immediate | Google sends confirmation email |
| Email to support | 1-3 business days | Email confirmation from Peoplelooker |
| Telephone | Same day | Verbal confirmation, follow up in writing |
| Registered post | 5-10 business days | Post confirmation, may require follow-up |
Requesting a refund or disputing charges
If you believe you were charged unfairly or without consent, you have several avenues to recover your money under New Zealand consumer law.
Step 1: request a refund directly from Peoplelooker
- Contact Peoplelooker's customer support team in writing (email is fastest)
- Explain why you believe the charge was unfair, referencing the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or Fair Trading Act 1986 if applicable
- Include copies of all relevant emails, bank statements, and screenshots
- Request a full or partial refund within 14 days
- Allow up to 10 business days for a response
Step 2: escalate to the commerce commission if Peoplelooker refuses
- If Peoplelooker denies your refund claim or does not respond, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission (Te Komihana Tauhokohoko) at comcom.govt.nz
- Provide all documentation including your cancellation request, payment records, and any correspondence with Peoplelooker
- The Commerce Commission will investigate potential breaches of the Fair Trading Act and may compel Peoplelooker to refund you
- This process typically takes 4-8 weeks
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank
- Contact your bank or credit card provider and request a chargeback for unauthorised or repeated charges after cancellation
- Provide proof of your cancellation request and evidence that charges continued
- Your bank will investigate and may reverse the charges within 30-60 days
- This is a faster route than the Commerce Commission if you need immediate relief
