How to cancel carly and stop unwanted charges today

What is carly and why users in the philippines want to cancel

Carly is a vehicle diagnostics app that combines a hardware scanner with software access to read your car's data and unlock advanced coding features. The service operates on a paid subscription model, meaning you pay upfront for the scanner and then face recurring charges for software renewal.

Many users in the Philippines discover too late that Carly's renewal charges continue automatically, even after they believe they have cancelled. At Stopee, we hear from customers who were shocked to find charges of around ₱4,200 or more appearing on their cards months after they thought they had ended their subscription. The frustration is real, and it is preventable.

How carly charges work for philippine customers

Carly's main paid product is the Universal Scanner, typically priced between ₱4,800 and ₱5,700 as a one-time hardware purchase. However, the real cost to your wallet comes from the annual software renewal that keeps your app access alive. This is where the confusion starts: you buy a device, but you are renting ongoing software access.

For users in the Philippines, there is no local support office or phone hotline. All inquiries route through email at support@mycarly.com, and the official cancellation guidance is sparse on Carly's main website. That is why Stopee emphasizes the importance of knowing exactly where your charge originates before you attempt cancellation.

Where does your charge actually come from?

This is the critical question. Your Carly renewal might be billed directly by Carly (Germany-based), or it could flow through Apple (App Store), Google (Google Play), or a credit card processor. If you subscribed via Apple or Google, those platforms often control cancellation and refunds, not Carly directly.

The majority of cancellation failures happen because customers cancel in one place (say, Google Play) but do not realize the renewal was set up through another (their credit card with Carly directly). At Stopee, we recommend treating this discovery as your first and most important task.

What you might be eligible to refund

Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), you have a right to cancel goods and services within a reasonable period if the seller has not been clear about billing terms. If Carly charged you after you reasonably attempted to cancel, you may have grounds for a refund or chargeback through your bank.

The key is documentation. Save your cancellation request email, your bank statement showing the charge date, and any screenshot showing your cancellation action. At Stopee, we advise customers to keep this evidence before contacting Carly or escalating to your bank for a chargeback.

How to cancel carly step-by-step from the philippines

Preparation checklist before you cancel

Most cancellation failures happen because customers skip the preparation phase. You need clarity on where the charge originates and when your next renewal date is.

• Open your latest receipt or bank statement and note the exact billing date.
• Take a screenshot of your Carly account showing your current plan status.
• Search your email inbox for emails from Carly, MyCarly, Apple, or Google with the word "subscription" or "renewal".
• Export or download any diagnostic reports or car coding data you want to preserve.
• Confirm whether you subscribed directly through Carly or via an app store.

Cancellation method 1: cancel via carly account settings (direct subscription)

If you signed up for Carly directly on their website or app using your own payment method, this is your primary cancellation route.

1. Sign in to your Carly account on your smartphone or computer.
2. Navigate to your account settings or profile menu (usually a gear icon or "Account" button).
3. Look for options labeled "Subscription", "License", "Billing", "Renewal", or "Plan".
4. If you see a "Cancel Renewal" or "Manage Subscription" button, tap or click it immediately.
   • Select the reason for cancellation (optional, but Carly sometimes shows this).
   • Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Yes" or "Confirm".
5. Screenshot your confirmation screen showing the cancellation is complete.
6. Check your email within 24 hours for a cancellation confirmation from Carly or MyCarly support.

Warning: If your account settings do not show a visible cancellation button, do not assume you are safe. Proceed immediately to Method 2 (email cancellation) to ensure your request is logged.

Cancellation method 2: cancel via email (most reliable for philippines users)

Because Carly's in-app cancellation path is not always transparent, sending a written cancellation email creates a paper trail and ensures Carly has received your request. This is especially important for users in the Philippines with no local support office.

1. Open your email client (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.).
2. Compose a new email to support@mycarly.com with the subject line: "Cancellation Request - [Your Account Email]".
3. Write your message clearly:
   • State your full name and the email address linked to your Carly account.
   • Write: "I request immediate cancellation of my Carly software license and subscription renewal effective today. Please confirm cancellation within 24 hours."
   • Include the date you are sending this email.
   • Mention your most recent renewal date or billing date (from your receipt).
   • Request a written confirmation of cancellation.
4. Send the email and immediately screenshot the sent message (subject, timestamp, recipient).
5. Check your email for a reply within 48 hours, typically from support@mycarly.com or a confirmation system.
6. If you do not receive a reply within 48 hours, send a follow-up email with the word "URGENT" in the subject line.

Pro tip: Use your email client's read receipt or delivery confirmation feature so you have proof Carly received your message. Some email providers (Gmail, Outlook) allow you to request a delivery notification.

Cancellation method 3: cancel via apple app store (iOS users)

If you use an iPhone or iPad and subscribed to Carly through the Apple App Store, cancellation happens through Apple's system, not Carly's.

1. Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your profile icon (top right corner).
3. Select "Subscriptions".
4. Find and tap "Carly" from the list of active subscriptions.
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription".
6. Choose a reason for cancellation (optional).
7. Confirm cancellation by tapping "Confirm" or "Stop Subscription".
8. Take a screenshot showing "Subscription canceled" or a similar confirmation message.

Important: Apple cancellations are usually instant, but some charges may still post before the next renewal cycle if your cancellation is processed within 24 hours of your renewal date. If you see a charge after cancellation, contact Apple Support to request a refund.

Cancellation method 4: cancel via google play store (Android users)

Android users who subscribed through Google Play handle cancellation within Google's system.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
2. Tap your profile icon (top right).
3. Tap "Manage my subscriptions" or "Subscriptions".
4. Select "Carly" from the active subscriptions list.
5. Tap "Cancel subscription".
6. Select your reason for cancellation (optional).
7. Confirm by tapping "Yes, cancel" or "Cancel subscription".
8. Screenshot the confirmation showing your subscription has been cancelled.

Pro tip: Google Play often shows an end date for your subscription (the last day you have access). Write this date down. Carly cannot charge you after this date.

Cancellation method 5: cancel a credit card auto-renewal

If Carly is charging your credit card directly and you cannot cancel through Carly's app or website, contact your bank or credit card company to request a charge block or chargeback.

1. Log in to your bank's online platform or call your bank's customer service line.
2. Locate the transaction from Carly (search for "Carly" or "MyCarly" or "Oberhaching").
3. Request that your bank block future recurring charges from this merchant.
4. Ask your bank to issue a "stop payment" order or dispute/chargeback if the charge violates your cancellation request.
5. Keep a record of your bank reference number and the date you filed the request.

What happens after you cancel carly

Your access ends and your refund options

Once your cancellation is confirmed, your Carly app will lose access to the diagnostic and coding features within 24 to 48 hours. The hardware (scanner device) remains yours permanently; cancellation only removes software access.

Refunds are not automatic. If Carly has already charged you for the upcoming year and you cancelled mid-cycle, you must request a refund explicitly. Under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), you have the right to seek reimbursement for services you did not use.

Email Carly at support@mycarly.com with the subject "Refund Request" and state the date of your cancellation, the date of the charge you dispute, and the amount. Ask for a refund to your original payment method within 14 days.

If carly refuses to refund you

If Carly does not respond to your refund request within 14 days, or if they refuse your request, escalate to your bank or payment processor. At Stopee, we advise filing a chargeback with your bank, citing "unauthorized recurring charge" or "merchant failed to honor cancellation request". Most Philippine banks have a 180-day chargeback window.

You can also file a complaint with the National Bureau of Consumer Protection (NBCP) under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in the Philippines if Carly fails to honor your cancellation or refund request. This is your consumer protection lever and is free to use.

Your consumer rights under philippine law

The consumer act of the philippines (Republic act no. 7394)

The Consumer Act protects you if a seller does not clearly disclose recurring charges, cancellation terms, or billing dates. If Carly's cancellation process is hidden, unclear, or does not work as promised, you have grounds for a complaint and refund.

Key protections:

• Right to cancel subscriptions within a reasonable period if terms are unclear (at least 14 days).
• Right to receive clear written notice of renewal dates and charges before they are deducted.
• Right to easy, accessible cancellation (Carly's sparse online guidance may violate this).
• Right to a refund if the service was not delivered as promised or if cancellation was not honored.

If Carly charged you after you requested cancellation, this is a direct breach of consumer law. Document everything and escalate to the DTI's NBCP if Carly does not refund you within 30 days of your request.

Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation

Cancelling a subscription feels like it should be simple, but Carly's unclear interface and multi-platform billing create real obstacles. Here are the mistakes we see most often at Stopee, and how to avoid them.

Mistake 1: cancelling in the wrong place

This is the leading cause of failed cancellations. You cancel your Google Play subscription, but the charge comes from your credit card. You cancel in the app, but the renewal was set up through Apple. The service then continues to charge you, and you feel cheated.

Solution: Check your bank statement first. Identify the exact merchant name (Carly, MyCarly, Apple, Google) and cancel in that same location.

Mistake 2: cancelling too close to your renewal date

If you cancel within 24 hours of your renewal date, the charge may already be processing. Banks and payment processors need at least 24 to 48 hours to halt a recurring charge.

Solution: Cancel at least 3 days before your renewal date. Check your receipt for your exact renewal date and set a phone reminder 5 days before.

Mistake 3: not saving cancellation confirmation

Many users see the cancellation button, click it, and assume they are done. But if Carly sends a confirmation email that you never see (because it lands in spam), and you have no screenshot, you have no proof the cancellation happened.

Solution: Screenshot every cancellation screen. Forward any confirmation email to yourself immediately. Keep these files for at least 6 months.

Mistake 4: assuming the app deletion means cancellation

Deleting the Carly app does nothing to stop renewal charges. The subscription lives in your payment account (Apple, Google, or your credit card company), not on your phone.

Solution: Cancel the subscription first, then delete the app if you wish.

Mistake 5: not following up if you do not hear back

If you email support@mycarly.com and hear nothing after 48 hours, many users give up and assume cancellation happened. It may not have.

Solution: Send a follow-up email after 48 hours. If no reply comes within 7 days, file a complaint with your bank or the DTI.

Carly cancellation checklist

Use this checklist to stay organized and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

• Locate your most recent Carly receipt or bank statement.
• Identify the exact billing date for your next renewal.
• Determine where the charge originates (Carly, Apple, Google, or credit card).
• Take a screenshot of your current Carly account showing subscription status.
• Export or save any car diagnostic data you want to keep.
• Attempt cancellation via the app or account settings (if available).
• If app cancellation is unclear, send an email to support@mycarly.com on the same day.
• Screenshot your cancellation request email and the timestamp.
• Wait for a confirmation email from Carly (allow 48 hours).
• Check your bank statement after your renewal date to confirm no charge posted.
• If a charge appears despite cancellation, contact your bank immediately to request a refund or chargeback.

Carly's address for written cancellation notice

Send formal cancellation by post (if email does not work)

If you have sent multiple emails and received no reply, or if you want to create an irrefutable record, send a written cancellation notice by post to Carly's registered office in Germany. This is slower but is legally binding and creates a paper trail.

Carly GmbH
Jagdfeld 9
82041 Oberhaching
Germany

Send your letter via registered mail or a courier service that provides proof of delivery (such as DHL or a similar service available in the Philippines). Write your letter clearly:

"I, [Your Full Name], hereby request the immediate cancellation of my Carly software subscription effective today, [date]. My account email is [your email]. Do not renew my license. Please confirm this cancellation in writing within 14 days. If renewal charges are processed despite this notice, I will pursue a refund through my bank and file a complaint with consumer protection authorities."

Keep a copy for yourself and request a signature or receipt from the post office as proof of delivery.

Why cancelling now protects your wallet

What happens if you delay cancellation

Every day you delay is a risk. Carly's auto-renewal system works on a set calendar. If you miss your renewal date by even one day, the charge goes through and you enter a new annual cycle. You then have to chase a refund, which takes weeks.

At Stopee, we have helped thousands of consumers cancel recurring subscriptions and recover unwanted charges. The fastest path to freedom is to cancel before your renewal date, not after.

Start your cancellation today

Use the step-by-step methods above to cancel Carly right now. Whether you choose to cancel via your account, email, or an app store, the key is to act before your renewal date and save proof of your cancellation request. If Carly continues to charge you after you have taken these steps, escalate to your bank or the DTI without hesitation.
