Review and cancel subscriptions
Typical deadline: 45 days after the death
Subscriptions charged to cards or accounts — streaming, gym, magazines, apps — keep charging until cancelled. The most reliable way to find them is the account statements.
Steps
- Request or download the last 12 months of account and card statements.
- Note every recurring charge and which service it comes from.
- Cancel the subscriptions by email or letter, attaching the death certificate where required.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find every subscription they were paying?
The most reliable way is the account and card statements from the last 12 months: every recurring charge is a candidate subscription. Ask the bank for the statements together with the notice of death.
Do subscriptions stop on their own once the account is frozen?
Charges on the frozen account will fail, but the subscription doesn't 'close' — it may pile up arrears or nagging notices. It's better to cancel each service explicitly by email or letter.
