If you move and the subscription cannot be continued for geographic reasons, send proof of new address (utility bill or tenancy agreement) with a written cancellation request. The trader must process the request; cancellation takes effect from the date you notify the trader. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
If The Sun increases the subscription price mid-contract and you do not accept the increase, you may cancel under the contract terms. Provide the notice of price increase from The Sun and state you reject the new price. If the increase breaches contract terms or is not properly notified, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 protects you from unfair contract terms.
Next of kin or executor should email [email protected] or send a registered letter with a copy of the death certificate and the account details. The Sun should stop payments and confirm cancellation; refunds follow the standard refund policy if applicable.
If The Sun fails to provide the paid digital service with reasonable care and skill, you may end the contract and request a refund. Provide screenshots, error messages, and dates showing the failure. Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies to service quality.
For fixed annual subscriptions, cancellation takes effect at the end of the 12-month commitment unless allowed earlier under the contract or by statutory rights. To avoid renewal, cancel at least 30 days before the next billing date.
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have a 14-day right to cancel online contracts for digital services. The Sun typically asks for express consent at checkout to start content access immediately, which can waive the right to a full refund for consumed content. If you did not give valid consent for immediate performance, you may be entitled to a refund within 14 days. If cancellation is notified online, The Sun must send an end of contract notice within 24 hours. See Citizens Advice - cancelling a service and Digital Markets Act 2024 - cooling-off.
The Sun commonly offers introductory pricing and retention perks. Reported offerings include Sun Club introductory price at £1.99 per month for the first year and Sun Club Plus app access. When you call 0207 860 1129 or email [email protected], state you are considering cancellation and request a retention offer or a reduced rate. If you are on an annual plan, mention you will not renew unless a discount is applied. The Sun has advertised bargains such as Hols from £9.50 when bundled with Club membership; ask for the Hols benefit or a month free.
Use these real prices to calculate yearly cost.
Sun Club monthly at promotional rate: £1.99 x 12 = £23.88 per year.
Sun Club standard monthly after first year: £4.99 x 12 = £59.88 per year.
Sun Club annual price: £12 per year for first 12 months, then £49.99 per year after renewal.
Sun Club Plus monthly: £6.99 x 12 = £83.88 per year. Sun Club Plus annual: £54.99 per year.
Example saving: If you switch from Sun Club Plus monthly (£83.88 per year) to Sun Club annual at £12, annual saving = £83.88 - £12 = £71.88 per year.
Cheapest alternative from provided competitor data: OK! Magazine annual shown at £138 per year, which is more expensive than The Sun options.
Your rights in the United Kingdom include the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 for the 14-day cooling-off right and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for services performed with reasonable care and skill and unfair contract terms. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 provides additional cooling-off protections for subscription renewals. See the 2024 Act text section 261 - end of contract notice.
1) Complain to The Sun first in writing via [email protected] or by registered post to The Sun, 1 London Bridge Street, SE1 9GF.
2) If unresolved, get guidance from Citizens Advice.
3) For unfair terms or hard-to-cancel arrangements, contact the Competition and Markets Authority or seek a chargeback or Section 75 claim through your card issuer for qualifying payments.
If you cancelled during an active period, access usually continues until the end of the paid period unless you used the 14-day cooling-off right and validly revoked consent to immediate performance. If The Sun started delivery with your express consent, access may continue until the paid period ends without refund for consumed content.
Keep the cancellation confirmation email or phone reference as proof. For refunds, check bank statements and allow 5-10 working days for card refunds depending on the card issuer. If you cancelled online, The Sun must send an end of contract notice within 24 hours; if you used post or phone, an acknowledgement should arrive within 3 working days.
Follow this checklist to ensure your cancellation is effective and documented.
