Charged by Constant Contact After Cancelling
Quick answer
Cancellation only takes effect on the next billing date and prepayments are non-refundable, so a renewal that processes before your cancellation is confirmed is hard to reverse. Confirm by email, then contact Billing.
Most likely fix: Verify the cancellation
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Verify the cancellation
- Check your main account email for the confirmation within 24 hours of calling
- In Billing, confirm status shows cancelled rather than active
- Save call dates, names and confirmation emails
Did this fix it?2. Request a refund anyway
- Contact Billing Support and cite the date you requested cancellation
- Policy says prepayments are non-refundable, so ask for a courtesy review in writing
- Escalate to a manager if the first agent refuses
Did this fix it?3. Last resort
- Dispute the charge with your card issuer if you cancelled before the renewal date and have proof
