How to cancel LogMeIn in the philippines: your complete legal guide and step-by-step process
Why you might want to cancel LogMeIn
LogMeIn is a subscription-based remote access and device management platform that lets you control your office computer from home, support clients remotely, or manage multiple devices across distributed locations. The service is owned by GoTo and serves solo professionals, IT administrators, and small businesses throughout the Philippines. Yet many Filipino users discover that the platform no longer fits their workflow, costs exceed their budget, or they have migrated to a more affordable alternative like Splashtop or AnyDesk. Before you take action, understanding your legal position and the exact cancellation process will save you time, frustration, and unauthorised charges. Yafee specialises in guiding Filipino consumers through complex SaaS cancellations, and this guide applies the Consumer Act of the Philippines directly to your situation.
Common reasons filipino users cancel
You may cancel because LogMeIn's pricing has increased beyond your budget. Approximately ₱2,750.00 per month for LogMeIn Pro or ₱5,500.00 for LogMeIn Central Base represents significant expense for small teams. Alternatively, you discovered a competitor with identical features at lower cost, your team has shifted to cloud-based infrastructure that no longer requires remote access, or you have consolidated your remote support tools. Yafee has observed that many Filipino businesses cancel after their initial contract term ends, when renewal prices climb by 15 to 25 percent.
What you are paying for each month
Your LogMeIn subscription includes remote computer access, file transfer capabilities, remote printing functionality, high-definition remote sessions, device grouping for multiple computers, and two-factor authentication security. The specific features depend on whether you subscribe to LogMeIn Pro (single user), LogMeIn Central Base (small teams), or LogMeIn Rescue (remote support specialists). Before you cancel, export all files, document your device groups, and plan your migration to avoid data loss once your subscription terminates. The critical point: cancellation is immediate upon processing, and LogMeIn does not reimburse unused portions of your current billing cycle under their standard terms.
Your legal position under philippine consumer law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you as a subscription buyer, even though LogMeIn is a foreign company. This section outlines your rights and how to enforce them.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees you
Under the Consumer Act, you have the right to clear, written disclosure of all subscription terms before you commit. LogMeIn must display the price in Philippine pesos (PHP), the renewal date, the cancellation process, and any cancellation fees upfront. You have the right to cancel without hidden penalties beyond what was originally disclosed in the subscription agreement. If LogMeIn continues billing after you submit a cancellation request, or refuses to process your cancellation within a reasonable timeframe (typically 14 days), you have grounds to escalate your complaint to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Yafee advises all Filipino subscribers to save every cancellation request, confirmation email, payment receipt, and bank statement showing charges. These documents become your legal evidence if LogMeIn overcharges you after cancellation or delays processing your request. The Consumer Act explicitly prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices, which includes billing users after they have submitted a valid cancellation request.
Your legal position
You own the right to cancel at any time. LogMeIn cannot require you to provide a reason, complete a survey, or wait a mandatory period beyond your current billing cycle. If your subscription renews on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 20th, LogMeIn must accept your cancellation effective immediately or at your next renewal date (depending on their policy), but they cannot charge you again after you cancel. If LogMeIn ignores your cancellation request or continues charging after you request cancellation, file a complaint with the DTI Consumer Welfare Group online at dti.gov.ph or visit your nearest DTI regional office. You may also request a chargeback through your bank or credit card issuer within 60 days of any disputed charge.
What to do if LogMeIn refuses to cancel
If LogMeIn ignores your cancellation request or disputes your right to cancel, follow this escalation path. First, send a formal written demand via email to LogMeIn support referencing the Consumer Act and requesting cancellation within 14 days. Include your account number, email address, subscription start date, and the date you first submitted your cancellation request. Second, if LogMeIn does not respond within 14 days, file a formal complaint with the DTI Consumer Welfare Group through their online portal. Third, contact your bank or credit card issuer and request a chargeback for any charges that appear after your cancellation request. Yafee has found that the combination of a formal DTI complaint and a chargeback request resolves most disputes within 30 to 45 days.

Understanding LogMeIn's pricing structure in the Philippines helps you decide whether cancellation makes financial sense. The table below shows current subscription tiers and renewal terms.

| LogMeIn Unlimited |
₱16,500.00 |
₱165,000.00 |
Enterprise organisations with unlimited access |
Your actual charge depends on your card issuer's exchange rate. LogMeIn displays pricing in pesos, but the underlying transaction settles in USD at your bank's current conversion rate, typically around 1 USD = 55 PHP. You may incur a foreign transaction fee of 1 to 3 percent from your bank, which means your final bill could be 2 to 5 percent higher than the advertised price. Yafee recommends confirming the exact peso equivalent with your card issuer before you cancel, so you can verify that your final charge matches the displayed amount.
Methods to cancel LogMeIn from the philippines
LogMeIn operates in the Philippines through online ticketing only, with no local phone support or in-person cancellation office. This section outlines the three primary cancellation methods available to Filipino users.
Cancel through the LogMeIn online account portal
The fastest and most transparent method to cancel LogMeIn is through your online account. Log into your LogMeIn account at logmein.com, navigate to Account Settings, select Subscription or Billing, and locate the Cancel Subscription option. Click the button, confirm your decision, and LogMeIn will display your cancellation effective date. This method generates an immediate on-screen confirmation and sends a confirmation email to your registered address. Screenshot this confirmation and save the email, as it serves as legal proof of your cancellation request.
Cancel via the LogMeIn support ticket system
If the online portal does not display a visible cancellation button, submit a cancellation request through the LogMeIn Help Centre. Visit the Contact Support form at help.logmein.com, select "Billing and Subscription" as your issue category, and write: "I request cancellation of my LogMeIn subscription effective immediately. My account email is [your email]. My billing cycle ends on [date]. Please confirm cancellation within 3 business days." LogMeIn support typically responds within 24 to 48 hours. Save the support ticket number and all correspondence.
Cancel by formal written notice (international mail)
For cancellation via registered or certified mail, you must send a formal cancellation notice to LogMeIn's corporate billing address. Because LogMeIn operates no Philippines-based office, you must send international mail to their US headquarters. Use the address provided in the cancellation section below. Your letter must include your full name, account email address, current subscription plan, account number, and a clear statement: "I hereby request cancellation of my subscription effective [date]. Please confirm cancellation in writing within 14 days." Send this letter via international registered mail (strongly recommended) and retain the tracking receipt. This method is slower but creates an indisputable paper trail under the Consumer Act.
Step-by-step cancellation process through your online account
Cancelling through your LogMeIn online account is the fastest route and generates immediate email confirmation. Follow these exact steps.
- Log into your LogMeIn account
- Visit logmein.com and click Sign In.
- Enter your email address and password.
- If you use two-factor authentication, enter the code sent to your phone or authenticator app.
- Navigate to your account settings
- Click your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Account Settings" or "My Account" from the dropdown menu.
- Look for a Subscription, Billing, or Plan section.
- Locate the cancellation option
- Find the button or link labelled "Cancel Subscription," "Downgrade Plan," or "Manage Subscription."
- If you do not see this option, proceed to the support ticket method instead.
- Initiate the cancellation
- Click the cancellation button.
- LogMeIn will display a confirmation page asking you to confirm your decision.
- You may see a survey asking why you are cancelling; you are not required to complete it, but doing so may speed up the process.
- Confirm your cancellation date
- LogMeIn will show your effective cancellation date (typically immediate or at your next billing date).
- Review this date carefully to ensure it matches your expectation.
- Click "Confirm Cancellation" or the equivalent button.
- Save your confirmation
- Take a screenshot of the on-screen confirmation message.
- LogMeIn will send a confirmation email within minutes; save this email in a dedicated folder.
- Forward this email to yourself or print it for your records.
Once LogMeIn processes your cancellation, your subscription access terminates on the effective date shown in your confirmation email. Your immediate priorities are data recovery, migration planning, and account cleanup.
Retrieve and back up all your data
LogMeIn does not retain your data after your subscription ends. Before your cancellation takes effect, export all session logs, saved credentials, and device group configurations. Log into LogMeIn, navigate to any stored documents or files, and download them to your local computer. If you have configured device groups or custom settings, take screenshots or export the configuration file if LogMeIn offers this option. Once your subscription terminates, you lose access to these configurations and cannot recover them later. Yafee strongly recommends completing this step within 24 hours of your cancellation confirmation.
Migrate to your replacement remote access tool
Before your LogMeIn access ends, install and configure your replacement tool (Splashtop, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or another platform). Test the new tool with your primary devices to ensure seamless transition. Document your device names, IP addresses, and access credentials so you can quickly reconnect through the new platform. Schedule this transition during low-activity hours to minimise disruption to your team. Yafee advises testing your replacement tool for at least 3 to 5 days before your LogMeIn cancellation takes effect, so you can identify compatibility issues and resolve them without losing remote access.
Monitor your next billing cycle
Verify your bank statement 3 to 5 days after your cancellation effective date. LogMeIn should not charge you again. If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation email. File a dispute within 60 days of the unauthorised charge. In parallel, send LogMeIn a formal demand email referencing your cancellation confirmation and requesting a refund. Most unauthorised post-cancellation charges are reversed within 10 to 15 business days once you initiate a chargeback.
Refund eligibility and what to expect
LogMeIn's standard policy does not provide refunds for unused portions of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 10th of your billing month and your cycle ends on the 25th, LogMeIn typically will not refund the 15 remaining days. However, this policy may conflict with the Consumer Act of the Philippines, which mandates fair treatment for subscription cancellations. If your subscription renews within 48 hours of your cancellation request, you may have grounds to request a refund of the renewed charge.
Request a refund through LogMeIn support
Submit a refund request through the LogMeIn Help Centre by selecting "Billing and Subscription" and writing: "I cancelled my subscription on [date], but I was charged on [renewal date] for the next billing cycle. I request a refund of ₱[amount] for this unauthorised charge. My cancellation confirmation is attached." Include a screenshot or PDF of your cancellation email. LogMeIn will review your request within 5 to 10 business days and typically approves refunds if you cancelled within 48 hours of the renewal charge.
Request a chargeback through your bank
If LogMeIn denies your refund request or does not respond within 14 days, contact your bank or credit card issuer and request a chargeback. Provide your cancellation confirmation email, the statement showing the unauthorised charge, and a written statement explaining that you cancelled before the charge appeared. Your bank processes chargebacks within 30 to 60 days and will return the disputed amount to your account. Once a chargeback is initiated, LogMeIn may not pursue collection or reinstate your account.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancelling a SaaS subscription is straightforward when you follow the correct steps, but small errors can delay your cancellation or leave you vulnerable to continued charges. These are the most common pitfalls Filipino users encounter.
Mistake 1: assuming verbal cancellation is sufficient
If you contact LogMeIn by phone (calling the US headquarters at +1-781-897-5591) and speak to a support agent who agrees to cancel your account, this verbal agreement is not binding. The support agent may not have updated their internal records, or a different team member may process your account later and miss the cancellation note. Always follow a verbal cancellation with a written confirmation email stating: "This email confirms our telephone conversation on [date] with [agent name], in which you agreed to cancel my subscription effective [date]. Please confirm this cancellation in writing." This written follow-up creates a legal record.
Mistake 2: cancelling only through email without using the online portal
Sending a cancellation email to LogMeIn support is acceptable, but it is slower than using the online account portal. Email requests can be lost in support queues, misrouted, or delayed by 5 to 7 days. Yafee recommends cancelling through your online account first to generate immediate on-screen and email confirmation, then sending a follow-up email to support referencing your cancellation confirmation number. This dual method eliminates ambiguity and accelerates processing.
Mistake 3: failing to screenshot or save your confirmation
Your cancellation confirmation email is your legal proof that you submitted a valid cancellation request. If you delete this email, lose access to it, or cannot retrieve it later, you have no documentation to prove you cancelled if LogMeIn continues billing you. Save your confirmation email in a dedicated folder, forward it to a secondary email account, or print it. Take a screenshot of the on-screen confirmation page as well. These documents are your legal shield under the Consumer Act.
Mistake 4: not checking your billing cycle end date
Before you cancel, confirm your next billing date by logging into your account and checking your subscription details. If your billing cycle ends on the 15th and you cancel on the 10th, you will retain access until the 15th but will not be charged again. If you cancel on the 16th, after your renewal has already processed, you have already paid for the next cycle and may have grounds for a refund if you cancel within 48 hours of the charge. Understanding your billing date prevents confusion and helps you time your cancellation strategically.
Mistake 5: not monitoring your bank statement
Many Filipino users cancel successfully but forget to check their bank statement 3 to 5 days after the cancellation effective date. Continued charges after cancellation are rare but do occur. If you discover an unauthorised charge weeks later, your bank may impose a tighter deadline for filing a chargeback (typically 60 days from the charge date). Monitor your statement closely for 2 billing cycles after cancellation to catch any errors immediately. Yafee advises setting a calendar reminder to check your statement 5 days after your cancellation effective date.

Fastest method; generates immediate email confirmation |
If you choose to cancel by registered international mail, send your cancellation notice to LogMeIn's corporate billing address. Because LogMeIn operates no Philippines-based office, you must send international post to their US headquarters. Use international registered mail (recommended) so you retain proof of delivery.
LogMeIn, Inc.
100 Cyberpark
Holyoke, MA 01040
United States of America
In your letter, include your full name, account email address, account number (if visible in your subscription details), current plan name, the date you first requested cancellation, and a clear statement: "I hereby request cancellation of my LogMeIn subscription effective [date or immediately]. Please confirm receipt and process cancellation within 14 days in accordance with the Consumer Act of the Philippines. I have attached proof of this request."
Send this letter via an international courier service (DHL, FedEx, UPS) that provides delivery confirmation, or use the Philippine postal service's international registered mail option. Retain the tracking number and delivery receipt for your records. Allow 7 to 14 days for the letter to reach LogMeIn's headquarters, plus an additional 5 to 10 days for their response. This method is slower but creates an indisputable paper trail if you later need to escalate to the DTI.
