1
Understand what the rule requires
The FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (16 CFR Part 425, effective 2024) requires: (1) clear disclosure of all terms before signup, (2) cancellation must be as easy as signup, (3) no dark patterns to obstruct cancellation.
2
Document the violation
Screenshot the cancellation flow. If you signed up with a single click but cancellation requires a phone call or in-person visit, that's a violation. Screenshot the difficult steps as evidence.
3
Send a written demand citing the Rule
Write to the company: 'Under 16 CFR Part 425 (FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule), you are required to provide a cancellation mechanism as simple as your signup process. I am demanding immediate cancellation and confirming this in writing.'
4
File an FTC complaint
Go to reportfraud.ftc.gov. Select 'Online Shopping' or 'Subscriptions'. Submit screenshots of the violation. The FTC uses these to build enforcement cases.
5
File a state AG complaint
Your state Attorney General can act on FTC Rule violations under state consumer protection laws. Many states have dedicated consumer protection units. File a complaint at your state AG's website.
