Write the message that cancels a subscription, keep the proof that you did, and if you were charged again, write the message that asks your card provider to dispute it.
The short answer. To cancel a subscription and keep proof, cancel in the way the company offers, write down the day, and keep a copy of the confirmation. This page writes the cancelling message for you, and if you were charged again it writes the message that asks your card provider to dispute the payment. The wording is prepared on your own device.

2
Fill in what you know
Leave anything blank that you do not know.
3
Message to the company
Send it by email or their own form, and keep a copy.
4
Message to your card provider
Use this if the company charged you again after you cancelled and did not put it right. Card providers set their own time limits for disputes, often counted from the day of the charge, so ask yours how long you have and do not wait.
5
Keep your proof
What it will not do
It writes messages. It contacts nobody and cannot make anyone refund you, and the rules for disputes and refunds differ between countries and card providers. If a company ignores you, ask your card provider or the consumer body where you live what to do next. This is not legal advice.
Questions people ask
Who made this?
UtilForge makes it. UtilForge is a website of free cybersecurity tools. The About page explains why the tools were made, and the Contact page is the way to reach us.
Is this a scam site?
You do not have to take our word for it, because you can check. This page does not ask for payment, a sign-in or card details. It is set so that your browser stops the page sending anything off your phone or computer, and you can test that: let the page finish loading, switch the internet off, then use it. It keeps working, because it has nowhere to send anything. If you are still unsure about any website, do not type anything private into it. UtilForge also sells optional packs of tools through Gumroad, and nothing on this page needs one.
What happens when I close the page?
What you typed and the messages it wrote are gone. It saves nothing in your browser and puts nothing in the web address of the page. The only thing that can stay is a message you chose to copy with a Copy button: your phone or computer keeps it on its clipboard, the place that holds copied text, until you copy something else. The page does not send the messages: you send them yourself.
Does it cost anything, and do I need to sign in?
It is free, and you can start straight away. UtilForge also sells optional packs of tools through Gumroad, and nothing on this page needs one.
How do I cancel a subscription and keep proof that I did?
This page writes the message that cancels the subscription and gives you a checklist for keeping proof, with check dates 30 and 60 days on so that you notice if the company charges you again. If you were charged again, it also writes the message that asks your card provider to dispute the charge. Never put your card number in a message.
Can this page make a company refund me?
No. It writes messages. The rules for disputes and refunds differ between countries and card providers. If a company ignores you, ask your card provider or the consumer body where you live what to do next. It is not legal advice.
How long do I have to dispute a charge?
Card providers set their own time limits for disputes, often counted from the day of the charge. Ask your provider how long you have, and do not wait.
Tell UtilForge what worked and what did not. Each button opens an email to lindsay@utilforge.org that you write and send yourself. UtilForge will only quote your words on this site if you say it may, and then with your first name and country only.
