Personality.com is an online platform that sells personality assessment reports, career guidance tools, and psychometric evaluations-including MBTI profiles and interpretive reports. You purchase individual reports or packages at fixed prices rather than commit to a recurring monthly membership. However, many customers report unexpected recurring charges weeks after their initial purchase, confusion about trial-to-paid conversion terms, and difficulty reaching the company to stop further billing.
If you recognize unauthorized charges on your statement, received a surprise renewal notice, or simply want to exit the service, Yafee has compiled this step-by-step cancellation guide to help you take back control of your account and finances.
Common reasons customers cancel Personality.com
You may decide to cancel for several legitimate reasons. Many users report that they purchased a single report but later discovered recurring charges on their card statement. Others say the renewal terms were buried in fine print or that billing notifications arrived too late to stop the charge. Some customers simply completed their personality assessment and no longer need the service. Whatever your reason, Yafee empowers you with the exact steps and legal protections you deserve.
Understanding your consumer rights before you cancel
Before you contact Personality.com, know the legal protections that apply to you as a United States consumer.
The federal trade commission act and your cancellation rights
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces the Telemarketing Sales Rule and the Negative Option Rule, which protect you when a company enrolls you in a negative option program (recurring charges). Under these rules, the company must obtain your clear, affirmative consent before charging you, make all material terms and conditions clear before you pay, and provide a simple mechanism to cancel. If Personality.com fails to honor these requirements, you have grounds to dispute the charge or file a complaint with the FTC.
Additionally, the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) give you the right to dispute unauthorized or incorrect charges on your credit card. You can file a dispute with your card issuer within 60 days of the charge appearing on your statement. Yafee recommends gathering your statements and order confirmation emails as proof before you initiate a dispute.
State-level protections and your escalation options
Many states, including California, New York, and Illinois, have enacted additional rules requiring companies to make cancellation as easy as the sign-up process. If Personality.com makes it unreasonably difficult for you to cancel, your state's attorney general office may be willing to investigate. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers leverage these state protections when a company stonewalls them.
Your legal position: You hold the right under the Negative Option Rule to cancel at any time without penalty, retain proof of your cancellation request, and dispute any charges that arrive after you submit your written cancellation. Document everything: save emails, screenshots of your account, confirmation numbers, and proof of postage if you mail your request.

Personality.com does not offer an online or in-app cancellation portal; you must contact the company in writing using the methods detailed below.
Written cancellation by postal mail or courier
Send a formal written cancellation request to the company's registered business address via postal mail or courier service. This creates a paper trail and provides proof of delivery, which protects you if Personality.com disputes your cancellation later. You will include your full name, email address, account number (if applicable), and the date of your original purchase. Request written confirmation of cancellation and keep your proof of postage receipt.
The standard mailing address for Personality.com cancellation requests is:
Personality.com (Cancellation Department)
[Primary business address to be confirmed with current registration]
Allow 5 to 7 business days for postal delivery, plus an additional 3 to 5 business days for the company to process your request and send confirmation back to you. Total cancellation timeline: 10 to 14 days.
Cancellation via domain proxy or trademark correspondent
If Personality.com uses a domain privacy service or trademark proxy (common for online-only businesses), you may also send your cancellation request to that agent. The proxy will forward your request to the company on file. Request tracking confirmation from the proxy service to prove delivery. This method takes slightly longer but carries equal legal weight as direct postal mail.
Step-by-step cancellation procedure
Follow this procedure in order to cancel your Personality.com subscription and create a documented record of your cancellation request.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Collect your order confirmation email from Personality.com.
- Note your full name, email address, and the date of your original purchase.
- Locate your credit card statement showing the charge (take a screenshot or print a copy).
- If you created an account, write down your account ID or username.
- If you were charged unexpectedly, note the exact amount and the date of the charge.
Step 2: draft your written cancellation request
- Open a blank document (Word, Google Docs, or plain text).
- Include the following details at the top:
- Today's date
- Your full legal name
- Your email address
- Your mailing address
- Write a clear subject line: "Cancellation Request - Personality.com Account"
- State in your first sentence: "I request immediate cancellation of my Personality.com subscription and all associated recurring charges, effective immediately."
- Include the following facts:
- Date of your original purchase
- Amount(s) charged to your account
- Your account ID or email associated with the account
- A brief statement: "I did not consent to recurring charges" (if applicable) or "I no longer wish to use this service."
- Request written confirmation of cancellation and the cancellation date.
- Close with your signature and print the document.
Step 3: send your cancellation request via postal mail
- Place your signed cancellation letter and a copy of your proof of purchase (order email or receipt) into an envelope.
- Address the envelope to:
- Personality.com (Cancellation Department)
- [Confirmed business address]
- Use a traceable shipping method such as USPS Certified Mail with return receipt, UPS, or FedEx.
- Purchase tracking at the post office and request a receipt.
- Keep your shipping receipt, tracking number, and copy of the delivery confirmation.
Step 4: document your cancellation attempt
- Create a file folder (physical or digital) labeled "Personality.com Cancellation."
- Save the following documents:
- Your draft cancellation letter
- Your proof of postage receipt
- Your tracking number from the shipper
- Screenshots or photos of your credit card charges
- Any previous email correspondence with Personality.com
- Your original order confirmation email
- Note the date you mailed your request in a calendar or spreadsheet.
- Set a reminder for 14 days from the mailing date to follow up if you do not receive confirmation.
Step 5: wait for written confirmation
- Expect a response within 10 to 14 business days of your mailed request.
- Personality.com should send written confirmation of cancellation to your email or mailing address.
- Save this confirmation in your Personality.com Cancellation folder.
- If you do not receive confirmation by day 14, proceed to the follow-up section below.
If Personality.com fails to acknowledge your cancellation request within 14 days or denies your cancellation, you have clear legal remedies under federal law.
Follow up with a second written request
- Send a second cancellation request via the same postal method, marked "SECOND NOTICE" at the top.
- Reference your first request by date and tracking number.
- Restate your cancellation request in identical language.
- Add a statement: "I have not received confirmation of my initial cancellation request dated [date]. I reiterate my demand for immediate cancellation and written confirmation."
- Mail this letter 14 days after your first request if you have not received a response.
File a dispute with your credit card company
- Contact your credit card issuer by phone (number on your card) or online account dashboard.
- Request a dispute or chargeback for any charges that appear after your written cancellation request.
- Explain to your card issuer: "I cancelled this subscription in writing, but the company continued to charge me. These charges are unauthorized."
- Provide your credit card issuer with:
- Copies of your cancellation letters
- Your proof of mailing (tracking receipt)
- Screenshots of the unauthorized charges
- Your original order confirmation
- Your card issuer will investigate and, if they find in your favor, reverse the charges within 30 to 60 days.
File a complaint with the federal trade commission
- Visit the FTC's online complaint portal at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
- Select "Internet services" or "Online shopping" as the category.
- Describe your experience: You purchased a report, received unexpected recurring charges, requested cancellation in writing, and Personality.com ignored your request.
- Attach scans of your cancellation letter, proof of mailing, and billing statements.
- Submit your complaint. The FTC may investigate if multiple consumers report similar conduct.
Escalate to your state attorney general
- Search "[your state] attorney general complaint" in your web browser.
- Navigate to your state's official complaint website or form.
- File a complaint about Personality.com's refusal to honor your written cancellation request.
- Include the phrase: "The company makes cancellation unreasonably difficult, contrary to state law requiring cancellation to be as easy as sign-up."
- Provide your documentation (cancellation letter, proof of mailing, billing statements).
- Your state attorney general may send a formal demand letter to Personality.com, which often triggers a response within 30 days.
Requesting a refund for unwanted charges
Once you cancel, you may pursue a refund for charges you believe were unauthorized or improper.
Refund through the company
- In your cancellation letter, add a separate paragraph: "I request a full refund of all charges, as I did not consent to recurring billing."
- If Personality.com processes your cancellation, send a follow-up letter (within 30 days of the cancellation confirmation) requesting a refund and explaining why the charge was unauthorized.
- Provide your original payment method or request refund via bank account transfer.
- Allow 7 to 10 business days for the refund to appear in your account.
Refund through your credit card company
- If Personality.com does not issue a refund within 30 days of your cancellation, file a chargeback dispute with your card issuer.
- Tell your card issuer the specific reason: "Unauthorized recurring charge after written cancellation request."
- Provide the same documentation (cancellation letter, proof of mailing, billing statements).
- Your card issuer will investigate and likely rule in your favor, crediting the charge back to your card within 30 to 60 days.
Timeline and after-cancellation monitoring
Your cancellation does not end when you receive confirmation; monitor your account to ensure no further charges appear.
What to expect during the 30-day window
After you mail your cancellation request, Personality.com may continue to charge you for up to 10 to 14 days while processing your request. This is normal. However, charges should stop immediately after you receive written confirmation of cancellation. If you see a charge dated after your confirmation date, that charge is unauthorized and you should dispute it with your card issuer.
Monitor your statements for 90 days
- Check your credit card statement every week for 30 days after your cancellation confirmation.
- Continue monitoring for 60 additional days for any delayed or surprise charges.
- If you see any charge from Personality.com or a related company after your cancellation, immediately take a screenshot and file a chargeback dispute with your card issuer.
- Reference your original cancellation letter and confirmation in your dispute claim.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Most cancellation failures result from preventable errors; stay alert and you will protect yourself from unwanted charges.
Mistake 1: calling or emailing instead of mailing a written request
Personality.com does not list a customer service phone number or email on its website. Emails are often ignored, and phone calls may not be recorded or documented. Always use postal mail with proof of delivery to create a legal paper trail. If Personality.com later claims you never requested cancellation, your proof of postage and tracking number will prove otherwise.
Mistake 2: failing to keep copies of everything
Save every document related to your cancellation: your original order confirmation, the cancellation letter you sent, your proof of postage receipt, the tracking number, the cancellation confirmation from Personality.com, and screenshots of all charges. If you later dispute a charge, your card issuer will request these documents. Yafee recommends creating a dedicated folder on your computer or phone for these files.
Mistake 3: not setting a follow-up deadline
If Personality.com does not respond within 14 days, send a second request. Many consumers assume silence means approval, but under the Negative Option Rule, the company is required to send written confirmation of cancellation. Do not assume; follow up formally.
Mistake 4: disputing the charge before requesting cancellation
File your written cancellation request first. Only file a chargeback dispute if Personality.com ignores your cancellation request or charges you after confirmation. Filing a dispute before formally requesting cancellation may anger the company and delay resolution. Follow the sequence: request cancellation, wait 14 days, then dispute if no response arrives.
Mistake 5: assuming a trial charge equals consent to recurring billing
Under the Negative Option Rule, a company must disclose ALL material terms of a recurring charge before you consent to pay-including the amount, frequency, and cancellation method. If the terms were hidden in fine print, you did not consent and you can dispute the charge even if you initially clicked "agree."
