Can I cancel Verisure by email?

Verisure's own FAQ explicitly says: *'You cannot cancel your account via email or SMS.'* The phone call is the trigger that starts the cancellation file. However, **always follow up the call with an email** to customersupport@verisure.co.uk so you have a dated paper trail, multiple JustAnswer threads describe Verisure 'closing' cancellation requests and resetting the notice clock, and a written record protects you.

How long is the Verisure contract / minimum term?

Verisure's published FAQ states a **minimum contract length of 12 months**. In practice, third-party guides and Reddit users report longer initial fixed terms, commonly 24, 36 or 48 months, depending on the package and any promotional discount. Your individual agreement is the source of truth: check the Members Area at customers.verisure.co.uk or ask the agent to read out the term end-date before you cancel.

How much does it cost to cancel Verisure early?

Verisure does not publish a flat cancellation fee. If you leave inside the initial fixed term, the standard position is that you pay the **remaining monthly fees** for the months left on the contract, which can run into four figures on a 36 to 48 month deal. Outside the fixed term the contract typically rolls over and a written notice period (often 30 to 90 days) applies. If you're within 14 days of signing an off-premises or distance sale, the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give you a free exit.

Do I have to return the Verisure equipment?

Yes. Verisure leases the equipment, *'Equipment remains property of Verisure'*, so the control panel, sensors, cameras and any LockGuard or ZeroVision units must be returned or collected after cancellation. Holding on to kit, or losing items, can trigger additional charges. Most users wait for Verisure to arrange a technician visit rather than posting equipment back.

What is the notice period for Verisure?

Verisure does not publish a single standard notice period, it's set in your individual agreement and commonly falls between **30 and 90 days** before the next renewal date. Reddit and JustAnswer users have reported being told 2-, 3- and even 6-month notice periods for residential and business contracts. Miss the window and the contract typically auto-renews. Phone 0333 200 9000 and ask the agent to confirm both the notice period and the renewal date in writing before you formally cancel.

Can I cancel Verisure within the 14-day cooling-off period?

Yes, if you signed at home, online or over the phone, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 give you 14 days to cancel a service contract without penalty. The clock starts on the **day the contract is made**, not the day of installation. Phone 0333 200 9000 immediately to state you're exercising your cooling-off right, then send written confirmation the same day to customersupport@verisure.co.uk. Keep a record of the call time.

What if Verisure ignores my cancellation?

Multiple JustAnswer and Trustpilot threads describe Verisure 'losing' or 'closing' cancellation requests so the notice period restarts. Defence: (1) put every request in writing to customersupport@verisure.co.uk, (2) after 5 working days with no resolution escalate to directorsoffice@verisure.co.uk, (3) file via Resolver to formally log the complaint, and (4) escalate to CISAS / the Ombudsman after 8 weeks of deadlock. Do **not** simply cancel the direct debit, it puts the account into arrears.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Verisure?

Usually one of three things: the cancellation never completed (no written confirmation), the subscription bills through Apple or Google and must be cancelled there, or a minimum term is still running. Charges continuing after a confirmed cancellation can be disputed with your bank as a chargeback.

How do I delete my Verisure account?

Cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion in settings or by email. If there is no self-serve option, email a written erasure request citing the applicable data-protection law; most companies complete erasure within about 30 days.

What happens to what you’ve already paid

Verisure does not publish a money-back guarantee. Your strongest refund route is the 14-day statutory cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, which starts from the day the contract is signed (not installation day) when the deal was agreed at home, online or by phone. Outside that window, leaving inside the minimum term usually means paying the remaining monthly fees as an early-termination charge. After the fixed term, the contract rolls over and a written notice period (commonly 30 to 90 days) applies, miss it and you auto-renew.

“In order to cancel your Verisure subscription please contact us by telephone on: 0333 200 9000 Please Note: Only the account holder can cancel the account, in order to protect the security of your property.”

Does Verisure charge a cancellation fee?

Verisure’s terms mention conditions worth checking before you cancel, see the plan notes and policy quote above for the specifics we found. In general: rolling monthly plans end at the period you’ve already paid for with nothing extra to pay, while minimum-term or contract plans can carry an early-exit charge until the term ends. If you signed up online within the last 14 days, the Consumer Contracts Regulations give you a cooling-off right to walk away, fee-free, for most digital subscriptions.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Verisure

Based on 3 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Cancelling by email, SMS or in-app message, Verisure's own FAQ states you cannot cancel via email or SMS, only a phone call from the account holder is accepted as the initiating step.
✕ Stopping the direct debit to force cancellation, The contract stays live; missed payments push the account into arrears and can trigger debt-collection action while the notice period continues to run.
✕ Asking someone other than the account holder to cancel, Verisure refuses to process the request, only the named account holder can cancel, for security reasons.
✕ Cancelling through EE (if bundled) instead of Verisure, Customers report being bounced between EE and Verisure; the Verisure subscription itself must ultimately be closed with Verisure even when billed via EE.
✕ Assuming the kit is yours to keep, Verisure leases the equipment, the panel, sensors and cameras must be returned or collected, and missing items trigger additional charges.

Cancelled Verisure but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Verisure, treat it as not cancelled. Email customersupport@verisure.co.uk referencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since.
You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Verisure’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
You're inside a minimum term. Some Verisure plans keep charging until a fixed term ends even after you cancel, check the plan notes above.

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Verisure charges again.

How Verisure will try to keep you

Verisure may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Save-call offers a discount or pauses billing for a few months”
You say: Decline the discount in writing and restate that you want a formal cancellation logged today, with a written confirmation of the effective end date and final balance. Ask for the cancellation reference number on the call.
They’ll say: “Agent says cancellation request is 'closed' and the notice clock has to restart”
You say: Reddit/JustAnswer users report this exact tactic. Send a follow-up email to customersupport@verisure.co.uk quoting the original call date and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (s.62), a notice period only runs once and cannot be reset by Verisure unilaterally.
They’ll say: “Citing a 3, 6 or even 12-month notice period buried in the fine print”
You say: Ask Verisure to point to the exact clause and date you agreed it. Unfair or non-transparent terms are not binding under Part 2 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If they refuse to budge, escalate to directorsoffice@verisure.co.uk and then file with the Ombudsman.
They’ll say: “Quoting a four-figure early-termination charge for the remainder of a 36 to 48 month term”
You say: Check whether you're within 14 days of signing, if the sale was off-premises, online or by phone, the cooling-off right beats the term entirely. Otherwise ask for the charge broken down; a charge equal to the full remaining monthly fees can be challenged as a penalty rather than a genuine pre-estimate of loss.
They’ll say: “Telling you a technician must visit before cancellation is processed”
You say: Confirm the cancellation in writing the same day you phone, equipment collection is a separate step and shouldn't delay the formal end date of your contract.

Delete your Verisure account (not just cancel)

Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

If there’s no delete option in Verisure’s account settings, email customersupport@verisure.co.uk with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under UK GDPR (Article 17, the right to erasure). They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
