Letter to Disable Automatic Billing

The Letter to Disable Automatic Billing is a document by which a person requests to cancel automatic withdrawals from their account. Automatic billing occurs when money is automatically transferred to another party's account at regular intervals (such as weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.).

For example, when a person subscribes for a service and allows the service provider to deduct the sum of ₦1,200 from their account every month, at the end of each month, ₦1,200 is automatically transferred to the account of the service provider.

Automatic billing can be used to pay for subscriptions (movie, newsletter, etc.), loan repayment, debit or credit card service charge, etc. This document can be used to cancel or terminate automatic billing, which means that the sender will no longer be billed periodically. Automatic Billings can be nacelles either orally or in writing. However, it is better to make this request in writing for proper documentation.

Note that this document can not be used to rectify a billing error as the Letter to Correct Billing Error is available on the website.

This letter can be used for any situation where someone wants to stop automatic billings or withdrawals for any reason. With this letter, the party making the automatic withdrawals will stop making the withdrawals and cancel any service that warranted the withdrawals.
