Manage Probiller

How to cancel probiller in nigeria and stop unwanted recurring charges

What is probiller and why it appears on your bank statement

Probiller is a third-party billing processor that merchants use to manage recurring subscription payments. If you have signed up for a service-streaming, dating apps, software tools, or memberships-you may see "Probiller," "MBI ProBiller," or "Aylo Billing US Corp." appear on your bank statement instead of the merchant's name.

The service itself is legitimate, but many Nigerian consumers find themselves confused when they see unfamiliar charges appearing month after month. You interact with Probiller only because the original merchant chose to use their payment processing system. Understanding this distinction is your first step toward taking control of your billing.

How probiller appears on your statement

On your bank statement or credit card bill, Probiller typically shows up with a merchant descriptor that includes company names like "MBI ProBiller," "Probiller," or "Aylo Billing US Corp." followed by a brief description of the service. The charge amount, currency (NGN), and billing date will also be visible. This makes it harder to recognize what you are actually being charged for, which is why many customers do not realize they have an active subscription until months of billing have passed.

Why you might want to cancel

Common reasons Nigerian customers cancel Probiller subscriptions include forgetting about a trial membership that converted to paid, being charged without clear consent, difficulty accessing the service due to your location, or simply no longer needing the subscription. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to walk you through every cancellation method available to you.

Your consumer rights in nigeria and what you can do

Nigeria's consumer protection framework, governed by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2019, guarantees you specific rights when dealing with billing disputes and recurring charges.

Key protections under nigerian law

Under the FCCPA, consumers have the right to accurate billing information, transparent terms and conditions, and the ability to cancel services without unreasonable barriers. If Probiller or the merchant charges you without your clear, informed consent, you have grounds to dispute the charge. Nigerian banks are required to investigate unauthorized transaction claims within 30 days, and the onus falls on Probiller to prove you authorized the charge.

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) oversees these protections. If Probiller refuses to refund unauthorized charges or makes cancellation impossible, you can escalate your complaint to the FCCPC or your bank's customer service department.

Your right to cancel without penalty

You have the right to cancel any recurring subscription at any time. Nigerian law does not allow merchants to impose unreasonable cancellation fees or to make the cancellation process deliberately difficult. If Probiller or the merchant obstructs your cancellation, document everything and report it to the FCCPC.

How to cancel probiller: methods and step-by-step instructions

You have multiple ways to cancel your Probiller subscription, depending on how the merchant set up your account. Stopee recommends starting with the website method, as it provides immediate confirmation.

Cancel via the probiller website (fastest method)

This is the quickest way to stop charges if you have access to the merchant's account or the original website where you signed up.

1. Visit the website where your subscription is active (the original merchant's site, not Probiller directly).
   • If you signed up through a streaming service, dating app, or software provider, return to that site.
2. Log in with your email address and password.
   • If you cannot remember your password, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it.
3. Navigate to Account Settings, Billing, or Subscription Settings (naming varies by merchant).
   • Look for a menu option like "Manage Subscriptions" or "Billing & Payment Methods."
4. Find the active subscription and click "Cancel Subscription" or "End Membership."
   • The merchant may ask you why you are cancelling; this is optional feedback-you do not have to answer.
5. Confirm your cancellation on the next screen.
   • Pro tip: Take a screenshot of the final confirmation page showing the cancellation date and confirmation number.
6. Check your email within 5 minutes for a confirmation message from the merchant.
   • Keep this email in a folder for your records in case you need to dispute a future charge.

Cancel by phone (if you need immediate help)

If you cannot access the website or the merchant's account, calling Probiller's support line is your next option. Have your information ready before you dial.

1. Gather these details:
   • The email address associated with your subscription.
   • The last four digits of the card used for billing.
   • The date of your last charge or the date range of your subscription.
2. Call Probiller customer support at +1 855 123 1955 (24/7, international number).
   • If you cannot reach this number from Nigeria, contact your bank to request they initiate a chargeback investigation instead (see refund section below).
3. Tell the representative: "I want to cancel my Probiller subscription immediately. I am no longer using this service."
   • Keep your tone calm and clear; the representative is there to help you.
4. Provide your account details when asked.
   • Do not share your full card number; only the last four digits are needed.
5. Ask the representative for a cancellation confirmation number.
   • Warning: Do not end the call without this number. Write it down immediately.
6. Ask them to send a cancellation confirmation email to your address.
   • Confirm the email address they have on file before hanging up.

Cancel by email (best for documentation)

Email leaves a paper trail, making it ideal if you later need to prove you cancelled. This method is slower than phone or website, but it protects you legally.

1. Compose an email to billingsupport@probiller.com.
   • Use the subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Email Address]"
2. Include these details in the body:
   • Your full name.
   • The email address associated with your Probiller account.
   • The last four digits of your card (not the full number).
   • The date of your most recent charge.
   • A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription. Please confirm this cancellation in writing within 24 hours."
3. Send the email from the same address linked to your subscription.
   • This makes verification easier for Probiller's team.
4. Wait for a response within 24-48 hours.
   • Pro tip: If you do not hear back within 48 hours, send a follow-up email and copy your bank's customer service email address. This signals that you are serious about the issue.
5. Keep all email correspondence in a dedicated folder.
   • You will need this if you later file a chargeback or complaint with the FCCPC.

Pricing and billing information for nigerian customers

Probiller does not publish Nigeria-specific pricing because Probiller itself is not a direct merchant-it is a payment processor. The actual cost of your subscription depends on the merchant using Probiller to bill you.

Understanding your charges

The amount you see on your statement is set by the original merchant (the streaming service, app, or membership provider), not by Probiller. Probiller simply processes the payment and takes a small percentage as a processing fee, which you do not see separately.

How to find your exact charge amount

Check your bank statement or credit card app for the transaction labeled "Probiller," "MBI ProBiller," or "Aylo Billing US Corp." The amount shown is your subscription cost plus any applicable processing fees. If you see multiple charges, contact the merchant directly to understand why.

What happens after you cancel and what to expect

Cancellation does not always mean your access ends instantly, and billing does not always stop immediately. Understanding this timeline helps you avoid surprises.

Immediate effects of cancellation

In most cases, Probiller processes your cancellation request within 1-2 business hours during business days. You will receive a confirmation email. Your future billing should stop within one billing cycle. However, if you are mid-subscription and paid monthly, you will not receive a refund for the current month unless you initiated cancellation within a grace period (usually 14 days).

Access to the service may continue until the end of your current billing period, depending on the merchant's policy. For example, if you cancelled on the 15th of a month but your renewal was scheduled for the 25th, you would keep access until the 25th, then the service would close.

Monitoring your account after cancellation

Even after cancellation, check your bank statements weekly for 30 days. Warning: Some merchants reactivate subscriptions if you try to log back in. Do not access your account after cancellation unless absolutely necessary.

If you see a charge after cancellation, do not panic. Document the charge with a screenshot, gather your cancellation confirmation number, and contact Probiller's support immediately.

Refunds and disputing unauthorized charges

Probiller's refund policy is restrictive, but Nigerian law and your bank's chargeback process offer you protection if you were charged unfairly.

Probiller's refund policy

Probiller does not guarantee refunds for used or partially used services. Refunds are granted at Probiller's sole discretion and only for specific circumstances:

• Unauthorized charges (you did not authorize the subscription).
• Duplicate billing (you were charged twice for the same period).
• Technical errors on the merchant's platform.
• Cancellation within a trial period (usually 7-14 days).

If Probiller approves a refund, it goes back to your original payment method only. There are no cash refunds or alternative payment options.

How to request a refund from probiller

1. Email billingsupport@probiller.com with the subject line: "Refund Request - [Your Email Address]."
2. Explain why you believe the charge should be refunded (unauthorized, duplicate, trial period, error).
3. Attach evidence: your cancellation confirmation, screenshots of charges, or proof that you never authorized the subscription.
4. Ask for a decision within 14 days.
5. Wait for their response. If they refuse, move to the chargeback process (see below).

Disputing charges via your nigerian bank (chargeback)

If Probiller refuses to refund unauthorized or duplicate charges, your bank can investigate and reverse the transaction. This is your strongest consumer protection tool.

1. Contact your bank's customer service (visit a branch, call, or use their mobile app).
2. Request a chargeback investigation for the Probiller charge.
3. Explain why the charge is disputed:
   • "I did not authorize this subscription" (unauthorized charge).
   • "I was charged twice for the same period" (duplicate).
   • "I cancelled this subscription on [date] but was charged again" (post-cancellation charge).
4. Provide copies of all evidence:
   • Email cancellation confirmations.
   • Screenshots of the charge on your statement.
   • Proof you requested cancellation (email confirmation numbers, screenshots).
   • Communication with Probiller support.
5. Your bank will initiate a formal dispute and contact Probiller. The investigation typically takes 30 days.
6. If Probiller cannot prove you authorized the charge, your bank will refund you and reverse the transaction.

Pro tip: Under Nigerian law, the burden of proof falls on Probiller to show you authorized the charge. Banks take this seriously, and most unauthorized charge disputes result in refunds for the consumer.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling probiller

Many Nigerian customers accidentally extend their subscriptions or lose proof of cancellation by making simple, preventable errors. You are not alone if you have made these mistakes-awareness is the first step to fixing them.

Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong platform

You must cancel through the merchant's website (where you signed up), not through Probiller's general website. Cancelling Probiller does not cancel your subscription with the merchant. Always log in to the service you want to stop and look for a subscription or billing settings page within that service.

Mistake 2: not keeping confirmation details

Probiller's support team and your bank will ask for your cancellation confirmation number, date, and any reference number provided. If you delete the confirmation email or take no screenshot, you have no proof you cancelled. Save all cancellation emails in a dedicated folder and note the date in your phone's calendar.

Mistake 3: logging back into your account after cancellation

Some merchants interpret a login as renewed interest and reactivate your subscription automatically. Once you have cancelled, avoid logging back in until you are certain your access has been fully removed.

Mistake 4: assuming cancellation stops billing immediately

Billing does not stop on the day you cancel; it stops on your next renewal date. If you cancel on the 10th but your renewal is the 25th, you will see one more charge on the 25th. This is not an error-it is your final month.

Mistake 5: not disputing charges after cancellation

If you see a charge after you cancelled, contact your bank immediately. Do not wait months hoping it will stop. The sooner you dispute it, the faster your bank investigates.

Escalation through nigerian authorities

If Probiller refuses to cancel, denies a refund, or does not respond to your cancellation request within 14 days, file a complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) at hello@fccpc.gov.ng or visit www.fccpc.gov.ng.

Include in your complaint:

• Your name, phone number, and email address.
• Details of the subscription and charges.
• Dates you attempted to cancel and all communication records.
• Copies of cancellation confirmations, bank statements, and Probiller's responses (or lack thereof).

The FCCPC investigates consumer complaints and can levy fines on companies that violate the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2019.

Your bank's dispute resolution team

Contact the customer service department of your bank (by phone, email, or branch visit) to initiate a chargeback. Most Nigerian banks respond to chargeback claims within 5-10 business days.

Key takeaways and your path forward

Cancelling a Probiller subscription is straightforward when you use the right method and keep the right records. You have the legal right to cancel without penalty, and Nigeria's consumer protection framework backs you up if the company refuses.

Start with the merchant's website (fastest), follow up with phone or email if that does not work, and escalate to your bank or the FCCPC only if Probiller ignores you. Document everything: screenshots, confirmation numbers, emails, and dates. These are your weapons if you need to dispute an unauthorized charge.
