Cancel Love It Cover It: The Right Way

How to cancel your Love It Cover It policy in ireland and claim your refund

Why you might cancel Love It Cover It

Love It Cover It is a UK-registered insurance provider that specialises in mobile phone and gadget protection for customers across Ireland and the UK. The company offers two main coverage tiers: a basic plan protecting against theft and loss, and a premium option that extends to accidental damage, liquid damage and mechanical breakdowns. You can purchase policies on a monthly basis or commit to a 12-month annual contract, depending on your preference and budget.

You might decide to cancel for several reasons: you've switched to a different insurer, your device no longer needs cover, you've bought a new phone with built-in protection, or you're unhappy with the service or claims handling. Whatever your reason, Tocancel recognises that cancelling insurance shouldn't feel like a battle, and you have clear legal rights to end your cover.

Understanding Love It Cover it's two coverage levels

Love It Cover It structures its offering around two distinct plans. The basic tier covers theft and loss of your device, offering protection if your phone is stolen or goes missing. The premium tier builds on this by adding accidental damage (drops, screen cracks), liquid damage (water exposure) and mechanical breakdown coverage. Both tiers operate on flexible payment schedules, and your premium depends on your device make, model and whether you pay monthly or annually.

Why acting quickly matters

Cancelling promptly matters because it stops future payments immediately and protects your refund eligibility. If you're within the 14-day cooling-off period from receiving your policy documents, Irish consumer law entitles you to a full refund without questions asked, provided you haven't made a claim. After that window closes, you can still cancel anytime, but refunds become less certain. Tocancel recommends acting quickly if you've decided to leave.

Your legal cancellation rights in ireland

Irish consumer protection law gives you explicit cancellation rights that Love It Cover It must honour.

The 14-day cooling-off period explained

When you purchase a Love It Cover It policy, you enter a statutory 14-day cooling-off period from the date you receive your full policy documents. During this window, you can cancel without penalty and receive a full refund of all premiums paid, provided you have not made any claims. This right exists regardless of the reason for cancellation; you don't need to justify your decision or negotiate with the company. This is your strongest legal position, and you should exercise it if you're unsure about the cover. Your legal position: you have an absolute right to your money back within 14 days if you haven't claimed.

Cancelling after the 14-day period

Once the 14-day period expires, you retain the right to cancel your Love It Cover It policy at any time. However, the company's terms state you must give at least 14 days' written notice. After this notice period, your cover terminates and no further premiums are charged. Crucially, cancellations outside the cooling-off period do not automatically entitle you to a refund of premiums already paid. You should verify with Love It Cover It whether any pro-rata refund applies based on your specific policy terms.

Consumer rights act 2015 protection

Ireland's Consumer Rights Act 2015 underpins your cancellation protections. The Act requires that any cancellation process be transparent, accessible and free from artificial barriers or dark patterns designed to trap you. If Love It Cover It makes cancellation deliberately difficult by hiding contact details, creating unnecessary verification loops or refusing to acknowledge your cancellation notice, you can escalate your complaint to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or report the practice to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), Ireland's independent consumer watchdog.

How to cancel your Love It Cover It policy step by step

Follow these clear steps to cancel your policy and secure your cancellation record.

Contact details and cancellation methods

Love It Cover It provides multiple contact channels to make cancellation accessible. You can reach the company by email or telephone during business hours. Email is the preferred method because it creates a written record of your request, which protects you if disputes arise later. Tocancel always recommends using email for insurance cancellations so you have proof of your communication.

1. Email support at [email protected]
   • Subject line: "Cancellation request for [your policy number]"
   • Include your full name, policy number and the date you want cover to end
   • Request written confirmation of your cancellation
   • Keep a copy of your email for your records
2. Call 01-6950723 during business hours
   • Have your policy number and personal details ready
   • Ask for the cancellation handler's name and reference number
   • Request written confirmation by email after your call
   • Note the date and time of your call

What to include in your cancellation request

Whether you cancel by email or phone, provide Love It Cover It with all the information needed to process your request without delay. This speeds up your cancellation and reduces the risk of errors. Tocancel advises including these details in every cancellation communication:

• Your full name as it appears on the policy
• Your unique policy number
• The device covered under the policy (make and model)
• Your contact phone number and email address
• The date you want cover to end (or immediate cancellation)
• If within the 14-day cooling-off period, state this explicitly
• Request for written confirmation of cancellation

Timing your cancellation notice

If you're outside the 14-day cooling-off period, you must give at least 14 days' written notice for your cancellation to take effect. This means if you email on Monday, your cover will not terminate until 14 days later. If you want to cancel immediately without a refund, state this clearly, but understand that premiums charged before your notice date remain non-refundable. Always confirm the exact end date with Love It Cover It in writing.

Understanding your refund entitlements

Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and whether you've made any claims.

Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period

If you cancel within 14 days of receiving your policy documents and have not made any claims, you are entitled to a full refund of all premiums paid. Love It Cover It must process this refund within 30 days of receiving your cancellation request. The refund should be returned to your original payment method. If the company delays or refuses your refund without valid reason, you can file a complaint with the FCA or escalate to the CCPC. Tocancel has helped thousands of consumers recover unlawfully withheld refunds through formal complaints.

Refunds after the 14-day period

After the cooling-off period ends, your policy becomes binding. If you cancel, no refund of premiums already paid is automatic. However, Love It Cover It's terms may allow for a pro-rata refund based on the unused portion of your policy if you've paid for a full month or year in advance. For example, if you've paid for 12 months and cancel after 6 months, you may be entitled to refund for the remaining 6 months. Contact Love It Cover It directly to clarify your specific policy terms and ask whether any refund applies.

Claims and refund exclusions

If you have submitted a claim under your policy, even if the claim is still pending, you forfeit your right to a full refund during the 14-day cooling-off period. Love It Cover It will only refund premiums for the period after your claim was resolved. Always clarify with the company whether a claim you've made disqualifies you from the cooling-off period refund before cancelling.

Pricing and payment schedule overview

Understanding what you pay each month helps you calculate your refund entitlement and plan your cancellation timing.

Costs vary based on your device make, model, age and the excess you choose. Contact Love It Cover It for an exact quote.

What happens after you cancel

Understand what to expect in the weeks following your cancellation request.

Timeline for cancellation processing

After you submit your cancellation request, Love It Cover It must acknowledge receipt within 3 business days. Your cover will terminate on the date you specified or 14 days after your notice, whichever applies. Future payments will stop once your cover ends. If you've paid by direct debit, check your bank account to confirm no further charges are taken after your termination date. If charges continue after cancellation, contact your bank to dispute them and report the issue to Tocancel's complaint escalation service.

Confirming your cancellation

Always request written confirmation of your cancellation from Love It Cover It. This confirmation should include your policy number, the cancellation date and confirmation that no further premiums will be charged. Keep this email or letter for your records for at least 12 months. If Love It Cover It refuses to provide written confirmation, take screenshots of any emails or call notes and contact the CCPC to report the obstruction.

Refund processing times

Refunds due within the 14-day cooling-off period must be issued within 30 days of your cancellation request. Refunds may take an additional 3-5 business days to appear in your bank account depending on your bank. If you don't see your refund after 30 days, contact Love It Cover It immediately and request a refund status update. Tocancel recommends following up in writing (email) rather than by phone to maintain a record.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Many people inadvertently weaken their cancellation position through simple oversights, but you can prevent this by planning carefully.

Not using email or written communication

Cancelling by phone alone leaves no proof that you contacted the company or what was agreed. Love It Cover It can later claim they never received your request or that you didn't ask to cancel. Always use email or follow a phone call with a written confirmation email saying "Following our call today at [time], I am writing to confirm my request to cancel my policy [number] effective [date]." Tocancel advises treating this as non-negotiable for all insurance cancellations.

Missing the 14-day cooling-off deadline

The 14-day cooling-off period begins from the date you receive your policy documents, not from purchase. If you receive documents by post, the clock starts when the letter arrives at your address. Many customers assume they have 14 days from purchase and miss the refund window. Count 14 days from document receipt and act before that date expires if you want a full refund without questions.

Not checking for outstanding claims

If you've submitted a claim (even a small one) and haven't received a final decision, you may lose your right to a cooling-off period refund. Always clarify with Love It Cover It whether any active claims will affect your refund eligibility before submitting your cancellation request.

Assuming monthly payments mean no notice required

Many customers believe monthly subscriptions can be cancelled immediately, but Love It Cover It requires 14 days' written notice even for monthly policies. Plan your cancellation request to account for this 14-day notice window if you want no gap in cover or no surprise final charges.

Not requesting written confirmation

If disputes arise later about whether you cancelled on time or whether a refund was owed, written confirmation is your only protection. Never accept a verbal assurance that you've cancelled; insist on email confirmation that you can forward to the CCPC if needed.

What to do if Love It Cover It refuses to cancel

If Love It Cover It ignores your cancellation request or refuses to process it, you have formal complaint channels at your disposal.

Step-by-step escalation process

1. Send a formal written notice by email
   • Reference your original cancellation request (date and method)
   • State that the company has failed to acknowledge or process your request
   • Demand cancellation within 7 days or you will escalate to the regulator
   • Keep a copy of this email
2. File a complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
   • Visit the FCA's online complaint portal or write to their address
   • Include copies of all emails, call notes and your cancellation requests
   • Explain the specific breaches (e.g., failure to process cancellation, refusal of cooling-off refund)
   • The FCA will investigate and can compel Love It Cover It to comply
3. Report to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC)
   • The CCPC handles consumer complaints in Ireland and can issue enforcement orders
   • File a complaint online at www.ccpc.ie or by post
   • Include evidence that Love It Cover It breached consumer law
   • The CCPC can impose fines and require the company to refund you
