How to cancel Scrub-A-Dub subscriptions and services in india (2024)

Understanding Scrub-A-Dub and your cancellation options

Scrub-A-Dub operates under multiple brand names across India, offering everything from vehicle detailing services to skincare products. This guide from Stopee helps you navigate cancellation regardless of which Scrub-A-Dub service you're using. Whether you've subscribed to recurring car washes or purchased a one-time skincare product, you have consumer rights that protect your interests.

What Scrub-A-Dub actually is

Scrub-A-Dub isn't a single unified service. Multiple vendors operate under this name across different industries in India. Some offer mobile car detailing that arrives at your location. Others sell skincare and beauty products through online marketplaces. Understanding which Scrub-A-Dub variant you're dealing with is your first step toward cancellation. Stopee has tracked several variants, and we'll cover the cancellation process for each.

Why you might want to cancel

You may need to cancel because the service quality doesn't match expectations, recurring charges continue after you've stopped using the service, or you simply found a better alternative. Whatever your reason, Stopee empowers you with the exact steps and your legal rights as an Indian consumer.

Your consumer rights under indian law

India's Consumer Protection Act 2019 guarantees you specific rights when purchasing goods and services. Stopee wants you to know these protections because they're your leverage if a company resists your cancellation.

What the law says about cancellation and refunds

Under the Consumer Protection Act, you have the right to cancel services and request refunds if:

• The service doesn't match the description provided by the vendor
• The service quality is deficient or incomplete
• The vendor breaches the terms of service
• You cancel within the cooling-off period (typically 7-14 days for remote purchases)

The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) and your state's Consumer Commission are your escalation points if Scrub-A-Dub refuses to honour your cancellation or withhold a legitimate refund.

Your right to clear communication

Every service provider, including every Scrub-A-Dub operator, must provide you with transparent cancellation terms before you purchase. If these terms are hidden, vague, or buried in fine print, you have grounds to file a consumer complaint. Stopee recommends saving screenshots of these terms when you sign up.

Cancellation methods for different Scrub-A-Dub services

How you cancel depends on where and how you purchased your Scrub-A-Dub service. Here are the paths most customers take.

Cancelling through the website or mobile app

If you subscribed through a Scrub-A-Dub website or their own app, follow these steps:

1. Sign into your account using the email and password you registered with
2. Navigate to "My Bookings", "My Subscriptions", or "Account Settings"
   • Look for a tab labelled "Active Services" or "Upcoming Appointments"
   • If you subscribed monthly, find "Billing" or "Payment Methods"
3. Select the service or booking you want to cancel
   • For recurring services, click "Cancel Subscription" or "Pause Recurring Payment"
   • For one-time bookings, select "Cancel Appointment"
4. Answer any feedback questions (optional but helpful for the company)
   • Be honest; this data helps improve their service
5. Confirm your cancellation when prompted
6. Save or screenshot the confirmation page showing your cancellation reference number and date

Pro tip: Stopee found that most app cancellations process immediately, but website cancellations may take 24-48 hours to show in your account. If you see charges after 3 business days, contact support with your cancellation reference number.

Cancelling through email or phone

If the website or app has no visible cancel option, you'll need to contact the vendor directly:

1. Find the official contact details on the Scrub-A-Dub website, invoice, or receipt
   • Look for email addresses in the format support@scrub-a-dub.com or a phone number on their terms and conditions page
   • Do NOT use contact details from third-party sites; verify directly on their official website
2. Compose an email or prepare to state the following when you call:
   • Your full name
   • Your account email address or username
   • Your booking or subscription reference number
   • The phrase: "I request cancellation of my service effective immediately" (or state a specific date if required)
   • Your reason for cancellation (optional but recommended for your records)
3. Send the email or make the call, then note the date and time of contact
4. If you call, ask for a reference number or confirmation email before you hang up
5. Expect a response within 24-48 hours; follow up if you don't hear back

Warning: Never cancel via WhatsApp or social media messages alone. Use email or phone so you have documented proof. If you do cancel via WhatsApp, follow up with an email repeating the same request.

Cancelling a Scrub-A-Dub purchase made through a marketplace

If you bought a Scrub-A-Dub skincare product through Amazon, Flipkart, or another online marketplace, you have two cancellation paths:

1. Contact the marketplace directly (Amazon or Flipkart customer service)
   • Log into your marketplace account and find "My Orders"
   • Select the Scrub-A-Dub product you want to cancel
   • Choose "Return or Replace Item" or "Cancel Order"
   • The marketplace will refund your money directly; you don't need to contact Scrub-A-Dub
   • This option works if the product hasn't dispatched yet
2. Contact the Scrub-A-Dub brand directly if the marketplace doesn't process your request
   • Provide your marketplace order number
   • Request cancellation and a refund to your original payment method
   • If they refuse, file a complaint with the marketplace, which will investigate

Cancelling a payment subscription (auto-debit or recurring charge)

If Scrub-A-Dub charged you via a recurring payment mandate (auto-debit from your bank or credit card), follow these steps:

1. Contact Scrub-A-Dub directly and request they disable your recurring payment
   • Email is best; include the exact amount charged and the dates of charges
2. Additionally, contact your bank or credit card issuer
   • Ask them to revoke the mandate or block future charges from Scrub-A-Dub
   • Banks in India can reverse a mandate within 24-48 hours
   • Keep the mandate cancellation reference number from your bank
3. Wait 1-2 billing cycles to confirm no further charges appear on your statement
4. If charges continue after you've revoked the mandate, file a dispute with your bank immediately

Pro tip: Stopee recommends revoking the mandate at your bank even if Scrub-A-Dub promises to stop charging. This gives you a legal safety net if they continue billing you by mistake.

Pricing for Scrub-A-Dub services and products

Here's what Stopee found when researching Scrub-A-Dub pricing across India. These are the verified products and services you may need to cancel.

Current pricing table

Prices vary depending on your city and the specific Scrub-A-Dub operator. Product prices are fixed on online marketplaces, but service prices may differ between vendors. Always verify the exact amount charged before you cancel.

Will you get a refund after cancellation?

This is the question Stopee hears most often. Whether you receive a refund depends on when you cancel and what you're cancelling.

Refund eligibility for physical products

If you purchased a Scrub-A-Dub skincare or beauty product, you're entitled to a refund if:

• You cancel within 7 days of purchase and the product hasn't been dispatched
• The product arrives damaged, defective, or completely different from the description
• You return the product unused in its original packaging

Once the product dispatches from the seller's warehouse, your refund window closes. However, if the product arrives and doesn't match the description (such as the scent is completely different or the texture is wrong), you still have grounds to return it for a refund under consumer protection laws.

Refund eligibility for car detailing and other services

Refunds for services like mobile car detailing depend on your cancellation timing:

• Cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment: full refund
• Cancel less than 24 hours before: many operators retain 50% of the fee as a cancellation penalty
• Cancel after the service is completed: no refund (you received the service)
• If the service quality is poor or incomplete, you may request a partial refund or re-service at no extra charge

Pro tip: If a Scrub-A-Dub service was poor quality, document it with photos and request a refund citing quality deficiency under the Consumer Protection Act. Stopee has seen success with this approach when vendors initially refused refunds.

Refund timelines

Once approved, refunds take 5-10 business days to reach your bank account or credit card. However, your bank may take an additional 2-3 days to process the credit. If 14 days pass with no refund, contact Scrub-A-Dub with your cancellation reference number and ask for a refund status update.

What happens immediately after you cancel

Cancellation can feel uncertain, especially when you're waiting to confirm it worked. Here's exactly what to expect.

Access and future charges

After you cancel, your access to the service stops according to your vendor's policy. If you cancelled a subscription, future recurring charges will not occur. If you cancelled a one-time booking, that specific appointment is removed from the schedule. However, if you've already received the service or the product has already dispatched, cancellation won't undo that transaction.

Check your confirmation email for the effective cancellation date. Some vendors allow access until the end of your current billing period (for example, if you cancel mid-month, you may still have access until the 1st of next month). Stopee recommends reading this detail carefully so you're not surprised by continued access.

Keeping your records safe

Save everything related to your cancellation:

• Screenshots of your cancellation confirmation page
• Cancellation reference number or ID
• Date and time of cancellation
• Any emails from Scrub-A-Dub confirming the cancellation
• Refund confirmation emails and reference numbers
• Bank or payment processor statements showing the refund credit

Store these in a folder on your phone or computer. If you need to escalate your cancellation to a consumer commission, these documents are your evidence.

Monitoring your bank statement

After cancellation, watch your bank statement or credit card for 2-3 billing cycles. You should not see any new charges from Scrub-A-Dub. If charges appear after your cancellation date, gather your cancellation confirmation and file a dispute with your bank immediately. Your bank can reverse unauthorised charges.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancellation can be stressful, and small missteps can cost you time and money. Stopee has seen customers struggle with these mistakes-here's how to avoid them.

Mistake one: cancelling through the wrong channel

Some customers email the vendor but receive no response, so they assume they're cancelled. In reality, their email landed in spam or went unread. Meanwhile, charges continue. Always use the official contact email address from the vendor's website and follow up within 48 hours with a phone call if you don't hear back.

Mistake two: not saving proof of cancellation

If your confirmation email deletes or gets lost, you have no proof you cancelled. Take a screenshot the moment you see your cancellation confirmed. Stopee recommends saving it to cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive) so you can access it from anywhere, even if your phone is lost.

Mistake three: assuming cancellation is instant

Website cancellations can take 24-48 hours to process. Some vendors have a "cancellation window" where you can reverse the cancellation if you change your mind. Don't assume you're cancelled until you see a confirmation. Verify by checking your account 48 hours later or contacting support.

Mistake four: ignoring the refund mandate revocation

If you cancelled a recurring payment, you must also revoke the mandate at your bank. Many customers cancel with the vendor but forget to cancel the mandate, leading to surprise charges weeks later. Stopee strongly advises doing both simultaneously.

Mistake five: not documenting poor service quality

If your Scrub-A-Dub service (like a car detailing) was poor, take photos or videos immediately. Write down exactly what was wrong and when you received the service. This evidence supports your refund claim if the vendor initially refuses. Consumer commissions in India take documented complaints very seriously.

Comparing cancellation difficulty across Scrub-A-Dub variants

Not all Scrub-A-Dub services are equally easy to cancel. Stopee compared the common variants to show you what to expect.

Cancellation comparison table

Marketplace products offer the easiest cancellation because you're dealing with Amazon or Flipkart's cancellation system, not Scrub-A-Dub directly. Recurring mandates are moderate because you must contact both the vendor and your bank. Refunds after a service is completed are difficult because vendors often claim the service was delivered and no refund applies.

Contact details for Scrub-A-Dub operators

To cancel, you'll need the official contact information for your specific Scrub-A-Dub operator. Since multiple brands operate under this name, Stopee recommends verifying the exact details before you reach out.

Finding the right contact information

Check your original invoice, booking confirmation email, or bank statement. The vendor name and contact details should appear there. Do not rely on third-party websites for contact information; always verify on the official vendor's website or social media page.

If you purchased through a marketplace, the seller's contact information appears in your order details. For car detailing services, check your booking confirmation email for the local operator's phone number and address.

Escalation contacts under indian consumer law

If Scrub-A-Dub refuses to cancel or process your refund, Stopee empowers you to escalate your complaint to:

• Your state's Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission: File a complaint if the amount is above ₹1 lakh (check your state's consumer affairs website)
• National Consumer Helpline: Call 1800-11-4000 (toll-free) or visit consumerhelpline.gov.in
• Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA): For unfair trade practices or systematic consumer harm
• Your bank's dispute resolution team: If you want to reverse a charge or dispute an unauthorised transaction

Include your cancellation confirmation number, any email correspondence with Scrub-A-Dub, and your bank statement showing the disputed charge. These authorities take consumer complaints seriously and can order vendors to refund customers or face penalties.

Your cancellation checklist

Before you click "cancel" or pick up the phone, use this checklist from Stopee to ensure you're ready.

• I have my account email address and password (if cancelling online)
• I have my booking or subscription reference number handy
• I have found the official vendor's contact email or phone number on their website
• I have read the refund policy and cancellation terms
• I understand the cancellation effective date and any pending charges
• I have my phone or device ready to screenshot the cancellation confirmation
• I have identified whether I'm cancelling a one-time purchase or recurring subscription
• I have noted the date and time I'm attempting to cancel
• I have my bank details or payment method information visible (in case I need to revoke a mandate)
• I am prepared to wait 48 hours for the cancellation to take full effect

Once you've ticked every box, you're ready to proceed with confidence. Stopee has guided thousands of consumers through exactly these steps, and you're now equipped with the same knowledge.
