What this means when you cancel
Find your dates and notice terms
Before you write, gather the contract and any renewal notices. Compare their dates with the Arizona rules above, and use the deadline calculator to count the days.
Quote the statute in your letter
Write the statute into the letter by its citation, A.R.S. sections 44-1791 to 44-1793, and state the date you are cancelling from. Keep the wording short and calm. Our letter template shows the layout.
Send the signed letter with proof
Take the letter to the post office and send it by Certified Mail. Ask for the receipt, keep it with your copy of the letter and note the tracking number.
File your copies and watch your statements
File your copies together and watch your next two statements. If the club charges you after the date your cancellation took effect, your papers are the proof.
If the club ignores your Arizona notice, your proof is the record you will need for a refund request or a card dispute.
Send your cancellation by certified mail
Tell us the company you want to leave. We write a formal cancellation letter, mail it by certified mail the next business day and send you the delivery proof.
