Cooling-off (change of mind within 14 days)

Rule - If you signed the agreement online, by phone or away from the trader you have a 14-day cooling-off right under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. The 14-day period starts the day after you receive confirmation or the day after signing, whichever is later. The company must refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation.

Required proof - copy of the order confirmation showing the contract date and written cancellation (email or recorded post).

Relevant law - Consumer Contracts - cooling-off rights.

After the cooling-off period - no accepted claim

Rule - If you cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period and you have not made an accepted claim or had an engineer visit, 24/7 will cancel the agreement the day before the next instalment payment was due and, where due, return any entitlement consistent with terms. The supplier states there will be no cancellation fee in this situation.

Required proof - written cancellation (email or recorded post) and evidence that no claim was accepted in the contract period.

After the cooling-off period - accepted claim or engineer visit

Rule - If you cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period and you have made an accepted claim or had an engineer visit, you are required to pay any remaining premiums due for the term of the agreement.

Required proof - records showing an accepted claim or engineer visit. The financial liability is the remaining premiums for the agreed term.

Moving abroad or change of circumstances

Rule - 24/7 has not published specific cancellation rules for moving abroad or change of circumstances. Use standard cancellation routes (phone, email, post) and provide supporting documents.

Required proof - Not published by 24/7 - provide a tenancy end notice, new address evidence or similar to support your request.

Death of the subscriber

Rule - 24/7 has not published specific instructions for cancellations on death. Follow the written cancellation route and supply documentation.

Required proof - death certificate and executor or next-of-kin authority. Applicable statutes on services and consumer contracts remain as above.

Before you cancel - negotiate

Known retention offers - research does not identify publicly reported retention offers or standard discounts that 24/7 offers to keep customers. If you want to attempt retention, call 0345 3192 247 or email [email protected] and request to speak with the retention team. Ask for a written offer and a clearing date for any promotional pricing.

How to ask - explain why you want to leave, the competing price you have, and request a written retention offer within 5 working days. Keep all written responses as proof.

What cancelling saves - yearly calculation and cheapest alternative

Example annual savings calculations using published 24/7 plan prices:

• Assistance 24/7 Single Package: £10.99 x 12 = £131.88 per year.
• 24/7IPTV Starter Member (1 Month): £11.99 x 12 = £143.88 per year.
• Hidden24 12 Month VPN: £3.99 x 12 = £47.88 per year.

If you cancel an Assistance 24/7 Single Package you save £131.88 per year. The cheapest real alternative among the listed plans is Hidden24 12 Month VPN at £3.99 per month or £47.88 per year.

Competitor alternative from the competitors list - GoForma at £22 per month equals £264 per year; this is not a like-for-like service but is the lowest monthly price listed among the competitors provided.

Key UK consumer laws

The main protections for UK consumers are the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 which give a 14-day cooling-off right for online and off-premises contracts, and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and prevents unfair contract terms.

Auto-renewal and unfair practices

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potential unfair practices. If cancellation paths are unclear you can escalate to Citizens Advice and request intervention from the CMA.

How to escalate

First complain to 24/7 using phone, email or recorded post. If the response is unsatisfactory, escalate to the relevant ombudsman depending on product type - Financial Ombudsman Service for financial products or Trading Standards and Citizens Advice for general consumer goods and services. For qualifying card payments consider Section 75 or a chargeback via your card issuer.

Relevant legislation and guidance: Cooling-off rights (legislation) and cooling-off data detailed statutory guidance.

Check final billing and refunds

After cancellation, check your bank or card statements for any final direct debits. If you cancelled within 14 days expect any refund to be issued within 14 days of the cancellation notice.

Access to services and data

Confirm the effective cancellation date and whether access to services continues until the end of the paid period. 24/7 has not published specifics on retention of customer data after cancellation - request written confirmation of data retention and deletion policy from [email protected].

Re-activation and records

If you want to re-activate later, ask for the re-activation terms in writing. Keep proof of cancellation - call reference, emails, recorded delivery receipt and final statement - for at least 12 months in case of a dispute.

Use this checklist to cancel and protect your rights.

• Find your contract or confirmation email and note the contract date.
• If within 14 days, prepare a written cancellation and state you are exercising the 14-day cooling-off right.
• Decide your cancellation route - phone (0345 3192 247), email ([email protected]) or recorded post to 24/7, Crown Way, CF14 3UZ Cardiff, United Kingdom.
• If posting, use recorded delivery and keep the receipt.
• Save any written confirmation from 24/7 and note call reference numbers, agent names and times.
• Monitor your bank or card for a refund within 14 days when cooling-off applies.
• If you made an accepted claim after the cooling-off period, expect to be charged remaining premiums and keep settlement documentation.
