Cancel Deezer: The Right Way to Stop Your Subscription

How to cancel Deezer and reclaim your money in 2026

Why you should cancel Deezer today

You're here because something about your Deezer subscription no longer works for you, and that's a legitimate position to take. The music streaming service has over 90 million tracks and a loyal user base, but subscription costs add up quickly when you're not using them. At Tocancel, we help thousands of people cancel streaming services every month, and Deezer cancellations represent a significant portion of those requests.

Your reasons for cancelling are valid whether you signed up during a promotional offer that has now expired, discovered you prefer a competitor like Spotify or Apple Music, or simply want to reduce your monthly spending. The key fact: you have consumer rights protecting you in this process, and understanding those rights is the first step toward cancelling confidently.

What Deezer costs you each month

Deezer's pricing structure varies depending on your plan, but the financial impact compounds quickly. If you're on the Premium plan at £10.99 monthly, you're spending £131.88 annually. The HiFi tier at £14.99 per month costs you £179.88 each year. Even the Student plan at £5.99 monthly adds up to £71.88 annually. Every month you delay cancellation is another month of automatic charges hitting your payment method.

The urgency here is straightforward: stopping your subscription today means stopping charges from your next billing date forward.

Why promotional rates make cancellation necessary

Deezer, like most streaming platforms, attracts new customers through discounted introductory offers. You might have signed up at £2.99 or £4.99 monthly for three to six months, then faced a significant price jump to the full Premium rate once your promotional period ended. This is a common frustration, and it's one of the primary reasons people contact Tocancel for guidance on exiting their subscriptions.

You are not obligated to accept that price increase-you can cancel and move your money elsewhere.

Deezer pricing and plan comparison

Understanding your current plan is essential before you begin the cancellation process.

Your action: identify which plan you're currently paying for, as you'll reference this during cancellation.

Your legal rights when cancelling a music streaming subscription

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is the foundation of your protection when you cancel Deezer.

What the consumer rights act 2015 means for you

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you have the statutory right to cancel a digital subscription within 14 calendar days of purchase, provided you have not materially used the service. This is called your "cooling-off period" or "right to cancel." However, if you have used Deezer substantially during those 14 days, you may lose your refund entitlement for that initial period.

Beyond the 14-day window, you can still cancel your subscription at any time. The key principle is this: Deezer cannot force you to remain subscribed or lock you into a contract. You can terminate your membership by giving notice before your next billing date. Most streaming services, including Deezer, require cancellation to take effect from the end of your current billing period-you cannot cancel mid-cycle and receive a prorated refund.

Your legal position in plain language: you own the right to end your subscription whenever you choose, and Deezer must respect that choice within 14 days if you've barely used the service.

Refund eligibility and the 14-day cooling-off rule

If you signed up for Deezer within the last 14 days and have not heavily used the service, you can request a full refund. This applies even if you've been charged already. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) enforces the Consumer Rights Act 2015 across the United Kingdom, and Deezer must comply with these regulations.

To claim your refund under the cooling-off period, you must contact Deezer in writing and explicitly state that you are exercising your right to cancel. Be clear and direct in your communication. If Deezer refuses your refund request, you can escalate your complaint to the OFT or seek mediation through Citizens Advice Consumer Service.

After 14 days, refund entitlement depends on Deezer's terms and conditions, but you retain the absolute right to cancel at any time before your next billing date.

How to cancel Deezer across all platforms

Deezer offers multiple cancellation methods, and you should choose the approach that creates the clearest record of your request.

Cancel Deezer via the website or mobile app

This is the fastest and most common method. Follow these steps:

1. Log into your Deezer account on deezer.com or open the Deezer app on your smartphone or tablet
2. Navigate to your account settings
   • On the website: click your profile icon in the top right, then select "Account" or "Settings"
   • On the app: tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), then go to "Settings" and select your profile name
3. Look for a "Subscription" or "Billing" section
4. Find the option that reads "Cancel subscription," "Downgrade," or "Manage subscription"
5. Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your cancellation
   • Deezer may offer a discount or incentive to keep you subscribed-decline this if you're certain about cancelling
   • You will receive an on-screen confirmation and a confirmation email
6. Save this confirmation email as proof of your cancellation request

Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not immediately. You will retain full access until that date.

Cancel Deezer by email or post

If you prefer a written record or encounter technical issues with the app or website, you can cancel by post or email.

1. Prepare a cancellation letter that includes:
   • Your full name and account email address
   • The email address or phone number associated with your Deezer account
   • A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Deezer subscription effective from my next billing date"
   • Your preferred cancellation date (the end of your current billing period)
   • Today's date
   • Your signature (for posted letters)
2. Send this letter by recorded delivery to Deezer's UK cancellation address (see below)
3. Keep copies of your letter and the delivery receipt as proof
4. Allow 5 to 10 working days for Deezer to process your request
5. Monitor your account to confirm cancellation has taken effect

Sending cancellation by post creates a legal paper trail, which is why this method is particularly valuable if you later need to escalate a dispute.

Contact Deezer customer support if online methods fail

If you cannot locate the cancellation option in your account or the website is not functioning correctly, you can contact Deezer directly through their support channels. Visit the Deezer Help Center on their website and look for "Contact Us" or "Submit a Request." Explain clearly that you want to cancel your subscription. Request a confirmation email once your cancellation is processed. Save all support correspondence in a dedicated folder.

At Tocancel, we've found that written support tickets create accountability-Deezer staff are more likely to process cancellations promptly when they have a documented record of your request.

What happens after you cancel Deezer

Your subscription ending is just the beginning of protecting yourself from future charges.

Verify your cancellation has taken effect

After you cancel, log back into your Deezer account around 48 hours later and check your subscription status. It should show as "cancelled" or "inactive." If it still displays as "active" or "premium," contact Deezer immediately with your cancellation confirmation details. Do not wait for the next billing date to discover a problem-verify immediately.

Next, check your bank statement or credit card statement on your next billing date to confirm no charge was applied. If a charge appears after your cancellation, contact your bank or credit card provider and request a chargeback. You have legal grounds to recover unauthorized charges after you've cancelled.

Block Deezer from future auto-renewal

Some payment methods and device operating systems have built-in subscription management tools that override app-based cancellations. You should disable Deezer's ability to charge you automatically across all platforms:

• If you use an iPhone or iPad: open Settings, tap your Apple ID, select Subscriptions, find Deezer, and tap "Cancel Subscription"
• If you use Android: open Google Play Store, go to Subscriptions, select Deezer, and tap "Cancel Subscription"
• If you pay by credit or debit card: contact your bank and ask them to block recurring charges from Deezer's merchant ID (they can provide this reference if needed)
• If you use PayPal: log into PayPal, go to Settings, select Payments, then Manage Automatic Payments, find Deezer, and cancel it

This multi-layered approach ensures Deezer cannot sneak a renewal charge through if a cancellation request is mislaid in their system.

Common cancellation traps and how to avoid them

We know that subscription cancellations can feel unnecessarily complicated, and that frustration is valid.

Promotional pricing traps and auto-renewal surprises

Deezer's introductory offers are designed to build habit before hitting you with full pricing. Many subscribers don't realize their promotional period has ended until they see the charge on their statement. The trap: by that point, you've already lost money to the price increase.

Action: set a phone reminder one week before your promotional period ends, so you can cancel or negotiate before the price jump takes effect.

Confusing account settings and hidden menu locations

Deezer's app is updated frequently, which means the cancellation button may be in a different location than guides suggest. If you cannot find the subscription management section within three minutes of searching, go straight to email or postal cancellation instead. Do not assume the feature no longer exists-it does, but company-wide interface changes can bury it temporarily.

Tocancel recommends using the search function within the app itself: type "cancel" or "subscription" into the search bar if your version of the app includes one.

Failed cancellation requests that go unnoticed

A significant number of subscription cancellations fail silently. You think you've cancelled, but Deezer's system never processed your request, and you get charged again. This happens when:

• The confirmation email lands in your spam folder and you don't verify cancellation
• A payment method expired but Deezer retried the charge against an updated card on file
• Your internet connection dropped mid-cancellation, and the request was never submitted
• Deezer's system recorded a cancellation request but failed to action it before the next billing cycle

Your safeguard: within 24 hours of cancelling, take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation and email it to yourself with the subject line "Deezer cancellation-[today's date]." This creates a searchable record you can reference later.

Refund timeline and dispute resolution

Understanding how long refunds take and what to do if Deezer refuses yours puts you in control of the process.

When you're entitled to a refund

You have three primary refund scenarios:

1. Within 14 days of purchase and minimal use: you can request a full refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 cooling-off period
2. Charged after you cancelled: if Deezer processes a charge after your cancellation request, you can dispute this as an unauthorized transaction
3. Billing error: if you were charged twice in a single month or charged for a plan you didn't authorize, you can request a refund for the duplicate or unauthorized amount

How to request a refund if Deezer refuses cancellation

If Deezer claims you cannot cancel or refuses to process your request, escalate immediately. Send a formal letter by recorded delivery to their UK address (listed at the end of this guide) stating: "I am exercising my statutory right to cancel under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and request a full refund of [amount] for [billing period]. Please confirm receipt and processing within 7 days."

If Deezer does not respond within 14 days or refuses your refund request, file a complaint with Citizens Advice Consumer Service or the OFT. These organizations have power to investigate and compel refunds if Deezer is breaking consumer law. At Tocancel, we've supported users through this process, and enforcement bodies take these complaints seriously.

Common mistakes when cancelling Deezer

Most cancellation problems stem from understandable oversights rather than deliberate wrongdoing on either side.

Assuming cancellation is immediate

You cancel your Deezer subscription today, but you're charged again in a week. This happens because you didn't realize Deezer's billing cycle works differently from your expectations. Deezer processes cancellations at the end of your current billing period, not on the day you request cancellation. If you're midway through a monthly cycle, you'll have access until the cycle ends.

Solution: before you cancel, ask yourself: "What is my next billing date?" If your answer is uncertain, log into your account and find the exact date. Then cancel knowing you'll be charged one final time on that date.

Cancelling without saving confirmation details

You click "cancel" on the app, see a confirmation message, and move on. But three months later, Deezer charges you again, claiming they have no record of your cancellation. You have no proof you submitted the request because you didn't save the confirmation screen.

Better approach: screenshot the cancellation confirmation page, save the confirmation email, and forward both to your own email address with a subject line that includes the date. This creates an unambiguous digital record Tocancel recommends to all subscribers.

Ignoring a suspicious charge after cancellation

You see a charge from Deezer on your statement a month after you thought you'd cancelled. You assume it's an error and that Deezer will fix it automatically. They don't. Another charge arrives the following month. By month three, you've lost £30 to charges you never authorized.

Immediate action: if a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card provider within 30 days and request a transaction dispute. Provide your cancellation confirmation as supporting evidence. Your bank can reverse unauthorized charges and investigate Deezer's merchant account for patterns of this behavior.
