The universal playbook for canceling any subscription service — streaming, SaaS, fitness, or otherwise — with legal protections cited. This guide applies specifically to Peacock ($5.99-$11.99/mo) subscribers in Vermont, citing applicable state and federal law.
Vermont's Automatic Renewal Protections (Vt. Stat. tit. 9, § 2454a) gives you specific protections when dealing with Peacock subscriptions:
Penalties: CPA violation — AG enforcement plus treble damages
Applied to Peacock (Website or app) in Vermont
Find your billing method
Check whether you subscribed directly (company website), through Apple, Google, or your bank. The billing source determines WHERE you cancel — not the company's app.
Vermont note: Vt. Stat. tit. 9, § 2454a requires Peacock to provide an easy cancellation mechanism.
Locate the cancellation path
Log into your account → Settings → Billing or Subscription. Under the FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule, cancellation must be as easy as signup.
Document your cancellation
Screenshot the cancellation confirmation screen. Note the date, time, and any confirmation number. This is your legal protection if they keep charging you.
Watch your next billing statement
Check your statement after the next billing date. If you see a charge after cancellation, you have grounds for a chargeback citing the date you canceled.
Block the merchant if needed
If the company charges you again, call your card issuer and request a merchant block. This prevents future charges even without the company's cooperation.
Method: Website or app · Difficulty: easy
