To cancel a PayMe subscription, you need to cancel it wherever the money is actually leaving your account: inside the PayMe app or website, through your Apple ID, through Google Play, or through PayPal. Uninstalling the app does not stop the billing. The right channel is the one you originally signed up through, and your bank statement will usually tell you which it is.
Find Out Who Is Actually Charging You
Pull up your most recent bank or credit card statement and look at the descriptor on the PayMe charge. If it reads something like “PAYPAL*PAYME,” PayPal is the processor and you have to cancel there. “STRP” points to Stripe, “SQ” to Square. A plain PayMe descriptor usually means you signed up directly on the website or app. If you subscribed on an iPhone or Android device through the store, the charge often shows up as an Apple or Google line item instead of PayMe’s name. Match the descriptor to one of the sections below before you start clicking cancel buttons, because canceling in the wrong place does nothing.
Cancel Inside the PayMe App or Website
Log into your account and open your profile settings. Look for a section called Subscription, Billing, Membership, or Manage Plan. Select your active plan, choose the cancel option, and work through the confirmation prompts until you reach a screen stating the date your access ends. You should also get a confirmation email. If neither shows up, treat the cancellation as incomplete and try again or contact support.
Federal law requires online subscription sellers to offer a cancellation mechanism that is not significantly harder than signing up was.1Federal Trade Commission.

Cancel Through Apple on iPhone or iPad
If you subscribed through the App Store, Apple holds the billing relationship, not PayMe.

Cancel Through PayPal
If PayPal processes the charge, canceling inside the PayMe app may leave the automatic payment running on PayPal’s side. Cut it off at PayPal directly.
On a computer, go to PayPal Settings, click Payments, and open Subscriptions and saved businesses (sometimes labeled Automatic Payments). Find PayMe and cancel it.
In the PayPal app, tap the menu icon, open Subscriptions or Linked Businesses, select the merchant, tap Manage or Account, and choose Stop Paying with PayPal.4PayPal. What Is an Automatic Payment and How Do I Update or Cancel One
Save Any Data You Want to Keep
Before you finalize the cancellation, pull down anything you need from the account. Transaction records, payment history, saved contacts: whatever is in there. Most services let you export this while your subscription is active and lock the door once it ends. Retention after cancellation varies widely. Some providers delete everything right away, some hold it in a limited-access state for 30 to 90 days, and a few keep it for up to a year. Once the data is purged, it is generally gone.
Confirm the Cancellation Actually Stuck
A real cancellation leaves a paper trail: a confirmation email, a confirmation screen with a reference number, or an end date on your account page. Save whatever you get. Then watch your bank or credit card statement for the next 30 to 60 days, especially around the date your next billing cycle would have hit. Catching a surprise charge early makes recovery far easier than finding it buried in a statement months later.
If PayMe Charges You After You Canceled
Start with PayMe support and send them your cancellation confirmation. Many companies reverse the charge once you show proof. If that fails, your next step depends on how you paid.
Credit Card
The Fair Credit Billing Act gives you 60 days from the date the statement containing the error was sent to dispute the charge in writing with your card issuer. The notice has to include your name and account number, which charge is wrong, and why. Your maximum liability for an unauthorized credit card charge is $50.5Office of the Law Revision Counsel. 15 US Code 1666 – Correction of Billing Errors Most issuers also let you start a chargeback through their app or website, and card network rules typically allow 120 days from the transaction date to file one with Visa or Mastercard.
Debit Card or Bank Account
Charges to a debit card or direct withdrawals from your bank account fall under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act. Your liability for unauthorized transfers is capped at $50 if you notify your bank within two business days of learning about the charge. Wait longer and your exposure rises to as much as $500.6Office of the Law Revision Counsel. 15 US Code 1693g – Consumer Liability The clock runs from when you learn about the charge, which is why checking statements soon after cancellation matters.
Filing a Complaint
If the company refuses to refund and your bank dispute does not resolve it, report the business to the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov.1Federal Trade Commission. ReportFraud.ftc.gov The FTC uses these reports to build enforcement cases rather than resolve individual disputes. Your state attorney general’s consumer protection office is a second route and can sometimes intervene for you directly.
Whether You Get a Refund for Unused Time
No federal law requires a prorated refund when you cancel partway through a billing cycle. What you get back depends entirely on PayMe’s own refund policy, which is set out in the terms of service you agreed to at signup. Most subscription services let you ride out the period you already paid for and refund nothing beyond that. A few prorate. Some do neither. Check the policy before you cancel, and if the company advertises a refund it then refuses to honor, include that in any complaint you file.
