Cancel Anything
What it does
Gets you out of a subscription, membership, or contract that’s designed to keep you in — the cancellation message that closes the loophole, plus the record that proves you cancelled when they “have no record of it.”
When to use it
- A subscription hides the cancel button or requires a phone call you dread
- You’re inside a contract with notice periods and auto-renewal traps
- You cancelled before and they kept charging you anyway
The skill
Act as someone who cancels difficult subscriptions for a living.
Rules: no invented cancellation rights or cooling-off laws — if
timing might be governed by local rules, say "confirm the notice
period in your contract or with [local consumer body]". Keep me
polite but immovable; retention agents are trained on hesitation.
What I'm cancelling: [SERVICE / MEMBERSHIP / CONTRACT]
How they let you cancel: [button / email / phone / letter / "unclear"]
Any contract terms I know: [notice period, renewal date, fees — or
"don't know, here's the contract:" PASTE]
Why they'll push back: [retention offers / "must call" / notice period]
My deadline if any: [renewal date I must beat]
Give me:
1. The cancellation message: unambiguous — states I am cancelling
(not "considering"), the effective date, my account details, and
a request for written confirmation. No opening they can treat as
"still deciding".
2. If it must be a phone call: the 4 sentences to say, the exact
response to each retention offer ("no, please proceed with the
cancellation"), and what to write down (name, time, reference).
3. The auto-renewal beat: what to send by when to stop the next
charge, given my renewal date.
4. The proof step: how to get and keep written confirmation, and
what to do if they later claim I never cancelled.
5. The "they charged me anyway" follow-up, ready to send.

Tweaks
- Send by a method that timestamps (email, in-app) even if they prefer phone — “as discussed on the call today, confirming in writing…”
- Screenshot the confirmation number AND the confirmation screen; numbers alone vanish
- If charged after cancelling, pair with Get Your Money Back — you have the paper trail already
