Lymemedia is a digital media platform delivering content on Lyme disease information, patient resources, expert interviews, and community support. If you have subscribed to a paid plan, you are paying for ongoing access to exclusive content rather than a one-time purchase. This distinction matters enormously: a missed cancellation triggers repeated charges to your card or payment method, often without clear notification.
The challenge you face as a Philippine user is that Lymemedia does not publish a clear, Philippines-specific cancellation process on its main website. Support routes through Loyme support channels, and response times can lag during weekends or outside business hours. At Yafee, we have mapped the exact steps you need to follow to cancel without confusion or delay. Our goal is to give you the control and clarity you deserve over your own subscription.
How Lymemedia is structured for philippine users
Lymemedia operates under the Loyme support framework, which means your account, billing, and cancellation requests all flow through Loyme channels. You will not find a local pricing page in PHP, no GCash or Maya billing confirmation page, and no Filipino language support have been identified in available documentation. This structural gap already makes the cancellation process harder for you than it should be.
Support is available Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM IST (Indian Standard Time), which translates to 11:30 AM to 8:30 PM Philippine Standard Time (PST). If you need urgent assistance outside those hours or over a weekend, you will need to wait or escalate your request through email. Yafee recommends that you document all support interactions immediately, as this creates a paper trail if disputes arise later.
Common payment plans and what you are likely paying
The primary identified pricing tier is the FunnMedia Premium Plus Bundle at USD 59.99 annually (approximately PHP 3,350 at current exchange rates). Nevertheless, this pricing record is incomplete, and you may be on a different plan or billing cycle. Your cancellation strategy depends entirely on knowing your own subscription details.

Verify next billing date |
Check your account dashboard or your most recent billing email to confirm your exact plan name, amount, and renewal date. Write down or screenshot the next billing date immediately. That single piece of information is your cancellation deadline. If you cancel after that date, you will likely be charged again, and you will then need to request a refund through your bank or payment provider.
Your consumer rights under philippine law and when to use them
Philippine consumer protection law provides you with clear rights when dealing with subscription services and recurring charges.
What the consumer act of the philippines says about subscriptions
As a consumer in the Philippines, you are protected under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394). This law establishes your right to cancel a subscription at any time and to receive a refund if you cancel within a reasonable timeframe or if the service fails to meet advertised standards. Furthermore, the law explicitly prohibits companies from charging you without clear, upfront consent for each billing cycle.
In accordance with this statute, if Lymemedia charged you without a transparent billing schedule or failed to provide a clear cancellation method, you have legal grounds to file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or to request a chargeback through your bank. Yafee emphasises that you need not tolerate unclear billing practices: the law is on your side.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel at any time. You have the right to receive clear confirmation of your cancellation in writing. You have the right to request a refund for charges incurred after your cancellation request. If the company refuses to honour your cancellation, you have the right to escalate to the DTI. Your payment provider (bank or card issuer) must support your chargeback if you provide evidence of cancellation and continued charges.
When to escalate and who to contact
If Lymemedia refuses to cancel your subscription or continues to charge you after you have requested cancellation, you have the right to escalate your complaint formally. Start by retaining all email correspondence and account screenshots, then contact the DTI Consumer Hotline at 1-555-8888 or file a complaint through the DTI website at dti.gov.ph.
In parallel, if charges appear on your credit card or debit card after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback. Provide your bank with screenshots of the cancellation confirmation and any email correspondence showing that you requested the cancellation. Your bank will investigate the charge and return your money if they find that the charge was unauthorized. This dual approach - formal complaint plus bank escalation - maximises your chances of resolution.
Cancellation of your Lymemedia subscription requires you to follow a defined sequence of actions, each documented and confirmed.
Gather your account information before you start
Before you attempt cancellation, collect the following information from your account and email records:
- Your Lymemedia account email address
- Your account username (if different from email)
- Your current subscription plan name and cost
- The date of your next billing cycle
- Your most recent invoice or billing email
- Any password reset or account access links you have received
This documentation serves as evidence if you need to escalate your cancellation request to the DTI or your bank. Yafee recommends that you screenshot every page and email for your records now.
Log in to your Lymemedia account
Navigate to the Lymemedia website or the Loyme support portal where your account is hosted. Enter your registered email address and password. If you do not remember your password, use the "Forgot Password" or "Reset Password" link to regain access. Confirm that you can see your account dashboard, billing history, and current subscription status.
Locate the subscription and billing settings
Once logged in, look for a menu option labelled "Account," "Settings," "Billing," "Subscription," or "Manage Subscription." The exact label varies depending on the platform interface. Click on this section to view your active subscriptions, payment methods, and cancellation options. You should see your current plan, next renewal date, and - ideally - a cancellation or downgrade button.
Initiate the cancellation request
If you see a self-service "Cancel Subscription" or "End Membership" button, click it immediately. Follow any prompts that appear, such as confirming your choice or entering a cancellation reason. The system may offer you a discount or prorated refund; review this offer carefully before confirming. Once you click the final confirmation button, the system should display a cancellation confirmation message with a reference number or confirmation code. Screenshot or save this confirmation immediately.
Submit a cancellation email if self-service cancellation is unavailable
If no self-service cancellation option exists, send a formal cancellation email to the Loyme support address. Use the subject line: "Request to Cancel Lymemedia Subscription - [Your Email Address]." In the body, include:
- Your full name as it appears on your account
- Your registered email address
- Your account username (if applicable)
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect (ideally the same day)
- A clear statement: "I request that my subscription to Lymemedia be cancelled immediately and that no further charges be applied to my payment method."
- A request for a cancellation confirmation email from Loyme support
Send this email from the same email address registered to your account, and request a read receipt to confirm delivery. Yafee advises that you keep a copy of this email for your records.
Confirm cancellation by email response
Within one to three business days, Loyme support should respond with a cancellation confirmation email. This email must include your cancellation date, confirmation that no further charges will be applied, and a reference number. If you do not receive this confirmation within three business days, send a follow-up email asking for status and reference number. Do not assume silence means cancellation: you need written confirmation.
Verify that charges have stopped
Monitor your bank or payment card statement for seven to 14 days after your cancellation date. Check that no new charge from Lymemedia or Loyme appears on your statement. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Yafee emphasises that you have the right to a full refund for any charge incurred after your cancellation request was confirmed.
Cancellation creates a new set of responsibilities and expectations that you must monitor.
Account access after cancellation
Once your subscription is cancelled, your access to exclusive content ends immediately or on your next billing date, depending on Lymemedia's policy. Consequently, you may lose access to member resources, expert interviews, or community forums. You may still retain read-only access to content published before your cancellation date, but this varies by service. Log into your account after your cancellation date to verify what access remains. If you regain access after the cancellation date, contact support immediately to escalate the issue.
Refund eligibility and timeline
If you cancel mid-cycle or if Lymemedia charged you after your cancellation request, you are entitled to a refund or prorated credit. The Consumer Act of the Philippines requires that refunds be processed within 30 days of your request. If Lymemedia does not refund you within 30 days, file a complaint with the DTI. Your bank can also process a refund through chargeback if Lymemedia does not comply within this timeframe.
Dispute resolution if charges continue
If charges continue to appear after your cancellation, follow this sequence:
- Contact Loyme support again with your original cancellation confirmation and ask why charges are still appearing. Request a refund for all charges after your cancellation date.
- If support does not respond or refuses to refund you, contact your bank and initiate a chargeback, providing your cancellation email as evidence.
- If your bank denies the chargeback, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry at dti.gov.ph or call 1-555-8888.
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the process, but missteps can delay your freedom and cost you money.
Assuming silence means cancellation
The most costly mistake is to assume that inaction or no response from support means your subscription is cancelled. It does not. You must receive written confirmation with a reference number. If you do not have this confirmation, you are not cancelled, and you will be charged. Always demand and retain a confirmation email.
Cancelling after your next billing date
If your next billing date is 15 March and you cancel on 16 March, you have already been charged for the next billing cycle. Cancellation on 16 March does not reverse the charge on 15 March. Cancel before your renewal date, not after. Set a phone reminder five days before your renewal date to complete cancellation by that deadline.
Using the wrong contact email or method
Sending your cancellation request to a general support email instead of the dedicated billing email can cause delays or misdirection. Yafee recommends that you use the official Loyme support contact provided in your billing email or account dashboard. Do not send to social media or generic helpdesk addresses.
Deleting cancellation confirmation emails or screenshots
Your cancellation confirmation email is your evidence. Keep it indefinitely. Do not delete it, and do not assume you can recover it later if a dispute arises. Archive it in a dedicated folder in your email and cloud storage.
Ignoring unauthorized charges after cancellation
If a charge appears on your statement after your cancellation date, you must act within 60 days to dispute it with your bank. After 60 days, your chargeback rights may expire. As soon as you see an unauthorised post-cancellation charge, contact your bank and your support escalation with the DTI.

If you are on the annual plan and you cancel after just two months, you forfeit approximately PHP 2,800. Consequently, early cancellation on annual plans can be expensive. Verify your plan cycle before deciding to cancel, and factor in the cost of remaining months if you are in an annual contract.
