How to cancel Scanshot and stop unexpected charges in the philippines
What Scanshot is and why you should cancel
Scanshot markets itself as a document scanning and management platform that captures, stores, and organizes your digital files. If you enrolled expecting a one-time purchase and now face recurring charges on your credit card, GCash, or Maya account, you are not alone. Many users across the Philippines report confusion around billing cycles, surprise renewals, and difficulty locating cancellation options.
The core issue: Scanshot's public information remains limited, and support channels lack clarity. The known contact page sits at scan-shot.com/contact, but no published telephone line, live chat system, or documented Philippine support hours exist. This opacity is precisely why Yafee has created this guide-to help you reclaim control of your billing and understand your legal standing under Philippine consumer law.
Scanshot's billing model explained
Based on documented user reports, Scanshot operates with a confusing dual-tier model. Some users describe a hardware device purchase paired with optional software features, while others document recurring monthly charges tied to digital access. The most frequently reported pricing point is a Personal Plan at approximately PHP 599 per month, though some users report initial payments as low as PHP 1 followed by substantially larger charges.
This inconsistency matters legally. If you entered Scanshot through a trial offer, a web form, or a mobile app, the enrollment flow may have defaulted you into auto-renewal without explicit cancellation instructions displayed at signup. Many Philippine users report seeing charges appear on their payment methods without recalling the original enrollment date-a pattern that suggests aggressive automatic renewal practices that may violate the Consumer Act of the Philippines.
Why canceling Scanshot proves difficult for philippine users
Scanshot maintains no dedicated office in the Philippines, no locally supported payment methods explicitly listed on their website, and no verified support team trained to address PHP currency disputes or local banking chargebacks. When you contact [email protected], response times frequently stretch to multiple days, and issues specific to Filipino users-such as GCash disputes or local bank chargeback procedures-may not be understood immediately.
Yafee's research shows that users attempting to cancel through account settings often find the cancellation button missing, buried deep in menus, or non-functional. Others successfully complete the cancellation flow only to face charges again at the next billing cycle, forcing them to dispute the transaction through their bank. This guide walks you through every procedural step to prevent those outcomes.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects you against unfair billing practices, deceptive advertising, automatic renewals without clear consent, and company refusal to process cancellations. Understanding these rights forms your primary defense.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees
Under Republic Act No. 7394, merchants must disclose all material terms before you pay, including renewal dates, cancellation procedures, and refund eligibility. If Scanshot's enrollment process failed to clearly explain how to cancel or when your subsequent charge would occur, you possess legal grounds to dispute the charge through your bank or the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
The law explicitly protects you against automatic renewal schemes. If Scanshot charged you without your explicit, informed consent to renew-or if cancellation was deliberately obscured-you can file a formal complaint with the DTI. Yafee recommends documenting every screenshot, email, and transaction record as evidence before you escalate to a regulatory authority.
Your legal position when Scanshot refuses cancellation
If Scanshot does not process your cancellation within 7 business days, or if charges continue after you request cancellation:
You have the right to escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) under Republic Act No. 7394
You can dispute the charge through your credit card issuer, GCash, or Maya using the "unauthorized charge" or "service not rendered" category
You may request a refund of all charges incurred after your cancellation request was sent, provided you can document the request via email
If Scanshot continues charging after written cancellation, you may pursue small claims court action in your city court for recovery of charges plus damages
How to escalate when Scanshot ignores your cancellation
If Scanshot does not cancel your account within 7 days, or if charges continue after you request cancellation, send a formal written demand via email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Formal Cancellation Request and Refund Demand". Include your account number, email address, enrollment date, and all transaction dates. Keep a copy of this email and the delivery receipt.
If Scanshot fails to respond within 14 days, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) through their online portal at dti.gov.ph. Include screenshots of your account, copies of your email requests, bank statements showing charges, and your formal demand letter. The DTI will investigate and may order Scanshot to refund your charges and cease the automatic billing.
How to cancel Scanshot step by step
Follow these procedures in order; if one method fails, proceed to the next.
Step 1: cancel through your Scanshot account settings
Log into your Scanshot account at scan-shot.com or via the mobile app
Navigate to "Settings" or "Account"-this may appear as a gear icon or menu option
Look for "Subscription", "Billing", "Plans", or "Membership" sections
Select "Cancel Subscription" or "Downgrade Plan"
Follow any prompts to confirm cancellation-do not allow them to transfer you to a lower tier instead of canceling
Screenshot the cancellation confirmation page and save the confirmation email Scanshot sends you
Step 2: contact Scanshot support if in-app cancellation fails
Include your full name, email address, phone number, and account creation date
State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Scanshot subscription effective today. Please confirm cancellation in writing within 48 hours."
Request a cancellation confirmation email and ask them to confirm no further charges will occur
Send this email via a method that provides a read receipt or save proof of delivery
Wait 7 business days for a response; if you receive no reply, proceed to Step 3
Step 3: dispute the charge through your payment method
If Scanshot does not respond to your cancellation email or if charges continue after cancellation, dispute the charges directly with your payment provider.
Credit card users: Contact your card issuer and report the charge as "unauthorized" or "not authorized by cardholder". Provide your cancellation email as evidence. Most card issuers will reverse charges within 30 days.
GCash users: Open the GCash app, go to "Activity", find the Scanshot charge, tap it, and select "Report Transaction". Choose "Unauthorized charge" or "Unwanted service" and submit. GCash typically resolves disputes within 5-10 business days.
Maya users: Open the Maya app, locate the transaction, tap "Help", and select "Dispute this transaction". Choose the appropriate reason and provide screenshots of your cancellation request email. Maya usually responds within 7 business days.
Step 4: file a complaint with the department of trade and industry
Visit the DTI online complaint system at dti.gov.ph
Complete the complaint form with your personal information, account details, and a detailed description of your billing issue
Attach screenshots of your account, copies of your cancellation emails, and bank/payment app statements showing unauthorized charges
Select "Scanshot" or the relevant company name as the respondent
Submit your complaint and retain the reference number provided
The DTI will send a formal notice to Scanshot and investigate within 15-30 days

What happens after you cancel Scanshot
Cancellation does not happen instantly; several outcomes require your attention over the following weeks.
During your final billing period
After you cancel, Scanshot typically allows you to access your account until the end of your current billing cycle. Check your email for a confirmation stating your cancellation date and final access date. If you need to export or download documents before losing access, do so immediately.
Verify that charges have stopped
Monitor your credit card, GCash, or Maya account for 60 days after your cancellation date. If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation, immediately contact your payment provider and file a dispute using the steps outlined above. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for 45 days after cancellation to check your statements.
Request proof of cancellation
If you canceled via email, reply to Scanshot's confirmation message (or send a follow-up email) asking for written confirmation that your account has been permanently canceled and no future charges will occur. File this confirmation with your records.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Most users experience unnecessary delays because they skip critical steps; learning from these errors protects your refund.
Deleting the Scanshot app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The app is simply the interface; your account and billing remain active. You must log into your account and formally cancel through settings or contact support directly.
Mistake 2: canceling without documented proof
Never cancel verbally or through live chat (if available) without immediately requesting a written confirmation email. Support agents may not process the cancellation, or the agent's notes may be lost. Always send a cancellation request via email to [email protected] and save the sent email and any response.
Mistake 3: waiting to see if charges stop before disputing
If you canceled and a charge still appears, do not delay. Immediately dispute the charge through your bank or payment app. Most card issuers have a 60-120 day window for disputes; waiting too long may forfeit your claim. File the dispute the moment you see the unauthorized charge.
Mistake 4: not checking for trial period obligations
If you enrolled through a promotional trial (often at PHP 1 for 7-14 days), you must cancel before the trial ends to avoid a full-price charge. Mark your calendar on the enrollment date and cancel at least 2 days before the trial expires. Do not assume the free trial will automatically end.
Mistake 5: providing incomplete information to support
When you email [email protected], include your full account number, email address, phone number, and the exact dates you enrolled and wish to cancel. Vague requests like "Please cancel my account" may be ignored or processed for the wrong account. Specificity accelerates resolution.
