Letter to Disable Automatic Billing

This is a letter asking a company or organization to cease automatic billing. The primary purpose of this letter is to give the company the information they need, regarding a customer and their account, to completely stop the automatic billing process.

Sometimes, companies allow individuals to call and request a cessation of automatic billing on the telephone. While it is a good idea to call, as calling is often much faster than sending a letter, the best process is still to put in a formal request to end automatic billing in order to keep everything documented and avoid disputes later on. The formal request should be in writing.

This letter can be used for any situation in which automatic billing needs to be stopped. It doesn't matter whether the letter is being directed at a banking company or another consumer company, such as a store or store credit company.

The most important portion of the letter covers information about the automatic billing, such as the amount and how often it is billed, along with a specific revocation of the authorization.

Most revocation of automatic billing letters do not require any attached documentation, but the company may request additional information after the letter is received.
