How to cancel personality co and stop recurring charges

What is personality co and why you may want to cancel

Personality Co is an online personality assessment platform that charges users for access to personality tests, detailed reports, and learning courses. Many customers sign up for what appears to be a low-cost introductory offer, only to discover weeks later that recurring monthly charges have been applied to their account without clear advance notice. If you've been charged repeatedly or you no longer value the service, Stopee is here to help you understand your options and take action.

Understanding personality co's service and billing model

The platform markets a comprehensive personality assessment (typically 100 questions) alongside personalized reports and access to supplementary tests and certificates. The company presents itself as an affordable way to gain insight into your personality traits and development areas. However, the billing experience reported by many U.S. customers tells a different story. First, users report paying a low initial fee (often around $1.95) for test access or a short trial. Next, this frequently converts into a recurring subscription charge of $29.95 to $39.95 per billing cycle without explicit reminder emails or clear consent confirmation.

Keep in mind that the company operates on a continuity billing model, meaning your initial purchase automatically enrolls you in a paid subscription unless you explicitly cancel. This structure has generated consistent complaints across independent review platforms and consumer watchdog sites. At Stopee, we've documented hundreds of similar cases, and we want you to know you're not alone if you've experienced unexpected recurring charges.

Red flags that suggest you should cancel

You should consider cancellation immediately if any of the following apply to you: you notice recurring charges you don't recall authorizing, you received no clear reminder before each billing cycle, you tried to cancel and encountered confusing or obstructive processes, your bank or card issuer disputes the charges as unauthorized, or you simply no longer find value in the service.

Additionally, federal law gives you specific protections. The Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, requires companies to obtain your express informed consent before charging you for a continuity service. Personality Co must provide clear terms about recurring charges, billing amounts, and cancellation procedures before charging you. If the company failed to do so transparently, you have strong grounds to dispute charges or demand a refund.

Your consumer rights and what to do if personality co won't cooperate

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and your state attorney general protect you from unfair billing practices, and Stopee recommends you understand these rights before you attempt to cancel.

Federal law protections under ROSCA and the FTC act

Under the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act, companies offering continuity or subscription services must:

• Obtain your express, informed written consent before charging you
• Provide clear, conspicuous disclosures of all material terms (price, frequency, cancellation process)
• Make cancellation as easy as the original purchase method
• Honor your cancellation request within one billing cycle
• Not charge you again after you cancel

If Personality Co violated any of these requirements, you have the right to dispute charges and demand refunds. The FTC Act (Section 5) also prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices, which can include obscuring cancellation options or ignoring cancellation requests.

Escalation steps if personality co refuses to respond

First, always document everything: keep screenshots of charges, copies of emails, your cancellation request, and any communication from the company. Next, try canceling via the official method (covered in detail below). If Personality Co ignores your cancellation or continues to charge you, take these steps:

1. Contact your bank or credit card issuer and dispute the charge as unauthorized or billing error
   • Explain that you either never consented to recurring charges or you have a documented cancellation request that was ignored
   • Provide your dispute documentation (screenshots, cancellation emails, bank statements showing the pattern of charges)
   • Request a chargeback or reversal of all unauthorized charges
2. File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov
   • Describe the billing pattern, any difficulty canceling, and whether the company's cancellation process was transparent
   • Include dates, amounts, and copies of evidence
   • The FTC uses complaints to identify patterns and pursue enforcement action
3. Report Personality Co to your state attorney general's office
   • Search for your state's consumer protection division online
   • File a complaint detailing the unauthorized charges or refusal to honor cancellation
   • State attorneys general can investigate and negotiate refunds on behalf of consumers
4. Consider filing a small claims action if the refund amount justifies the effort
   • Many states allow you to file in small claims court for amounts under $5,000
   • You do not need an attorney, and filing fees are modest
   • If you win, the judgment can be enforced against the company

Pro tip: Save all your documentation in a single folder (email, screenshots, bank statements) before you escalate. This evidence becomes crucial if you file a chargeback, FTC complaint, or legal claim. Stopee recommends you act within 60 days of discovering an unauthorized charge, as this window protects you under federal dispute rules.

How to cancel personality co: step-by-step

Personality Co requires cancellation by written request sent to their postal address, which makes the process slower than online services but gives you a paper trail. Follow this process carefully to ensure your cancellation is received and honored.

Cancellation method: written request by certified mail

Personality Co does not offer online account deletion or email cancellation. Instead, you must submit a written cancellation request via postal mail to their address on file. This method is cumbersome, but it is the official channel and it creates a documented record that proves you requested cancellation on a specific date.

1. Collect the mailing address for Personality Co
   • Check your account settings or any invoice email for the company's primary mailing address
   • If you do not have access to your account, visit the Personality Co website's contact or support page
   • Write down the full street address, city, state, and ZIP code
2. Prepare your cancellation letter on plain paper or in a standard business letter format
   • Include your full name as it appears on your account
   • Include your account number or the email address associated with your Personality Co account
   • Include the full billing address on file with Personality Co
   • Include the phone number linked to the account, if available
   • Write a clear statement: "I hereby request the cancellation of my Personality Co subscription effective immediately. Please cease all recurring charges and confirm cancellation in writing."
   • Include today's date
   • Sign the letter by hand
3. Make two copies of your signed cancellation letter
   • Keep one for your records
   • Send the other via certified mail with return receipt requested
4. Send your cancellation letter via USPS certified mail with return receipt
   • Go to your local post office or use USPS.com to order a certified mail label
   • Certified mail with return receipt costs approximately $8.00 and provides proof of delivery
   • Keep your certified mail receipt (green card) as proof that Personality Co received your cancellation request
   • Note the tracking number and the expected delivery date
5. Monitor your account and bank statements for 1-2 billing cycles after you mail your cancellation
   • Check that no new charges appear after the date you mailed your cancellation
   • Log into your Personality Co account (if still possible) and verify that your subscription shows as canceled
   • Review your credit card or bank statement for any unexpected charges
6. If you are charged after mailing your cancellation, contact Personality Co immediately and reference your certified mail tracking number
   • Send a follow-up email (if contact email is available) stating: "I canceled my subscription via certified mail on [date] (tracking number [XXX]). I was charged on [date] after my cancellation request was delivered. Please reverse this charge and confirm that my account is now closed."
   • Keep a copy of this follow-up message
   • If Personality Co does not respond within 10 business days, file a dispute with your bank and escalate to the FTC (as described above)

Warning: Do not assume your cancellation is effective simply because you mailed a letter. Personality Co may delay processing your request or claim they did not receive it. The certified mail return receipt protects you by proving delivery, but you must still monitor your account to confirm the cancellation took effect. If you are charged after your certified mail was delivered, you have ironclad proof of the company's violation, which strengthens any dispute or FTC complaint.

Refund options if you were overcharged

If you were charged repeatedly and you believe these charges were unauthorized or misleading, you have multiple paths to recover your money. Stopee recommends pursuing the fastest and most effective method first.

Disputing charges with your bank or card issuer

Your bank or credit card company has a legal obligation to investigate disputed charges and often reverses them within 30-90 days if you have evidence. This is often the fastest route to a refund.

1. Contact your bank or card issuer's customer service line (number on the back of your card)
2. Explain that you received unauthorized recurring charges from Personality Co or that the company's billing practices were deceptive
3. Request that the bank open a dispute or chargeback for each unauthorized charge
4. Provide the bank with documentation:
   • Screenshots of your Personality Co account showing the charges
   • Bank or credit card statements showing the recurring pattern
   • Your cancellation request (certified mail receipt or email)
   • Any relevant terms that Personality Co failed to disclose clearly
5. Follow up with the bank every 10 days until the dispute is resolved
6. If the bank sides with you, the charges are reversed and the money is credited back to your account

Pro tip: Most banks and card issuers allow you to initiate a dispute online through your account or mobile app, but calling their dispute department and speaking with a representative often speeds up the process. Be calm and factual, and lead with the evidence that the company's billing terms were not clearly disclosed or that you have a documented cancellation request.

Requesting a refund directly from personality co

Before escalating to your bank, try requesting a refund directly from Personality Co. Some customers report success, though others encounter resistance. Send a professional, documented request via email if an email contact is available.

1. Compose a refund request email to Personality Co's customer service address
2. State the dates and amounts of all charges you wish to dispute
3. Explain why you believe the charges were unauthorized or misleading (e.g., lack of clear consent, no reminder emails, no transparent cancellation option)
4. Request a full refund of all disputed charges within 10 business days
5. Attach screenshots of your bank statements and any Personality Co account information that supports your case
6. Keep a copy of this email for your records
7. If you do not receive a response within 10 days, escalate to your bank (chargeback) or the FTC

What happens after you cancel: key steps to protect yourself

Cancellation is not truly complete until you verify that charges have stopped and your account is no longer active. Many customers cancel and then forget to monitor, only to discover surprise charges months later.

Monitoring and confirmation after cancellation

After you submit your cancellation request via certified mail, follow these steps to ensure the cancellation is honored:

1. Wait 5-7 business days after your certified mail is delivered, then try to log into your Personality Co account
   • If you can still log in, check your account settings for any indication that the subscription is active or canceled
   • If the account is locked or shows as canceled, this is a positive sign
   • If the account is still active, send a follow-up email to customer service referencing your certified mail cancellation request and the tracking number
2. Check your bank or credit card statement for the next two billing cycles
   • Look carefully for any charges from Personality Co or similar merchant names (sometimes companies use different billing names to avoid recognition)
   • If you see a charge, note the date, amount, and exact merchant name
3. If you see unexpected charges after your cancellation date, immediately file a dispute with your bank or contact the company with a copy of your certified mail receipt
   • The receipt proves Personality Co received your cancellation on a specific date
   • Any charges after that date are a clear violation of federal law
4. Set a phone reminder for 30 days after your cancellation to check your account one final time
   • This ensures you catch any late charges before they compound

Pro tip: Save your certified mail receipt and tracking number in your phone or email for easy reference. If you need to file a chargeback or complaint later, this single document often tips the balance in your favor.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid

It's frustrating to cancel and then discover that your cancellation didn't work. Many customers make avoidable errors that delay or prevent their cancellation from taking effect.

Mistakes that customers often regret

Canceling a subscription should not feel like solving a puzzle, but Personality Co's system is deliberately opaque. Here are the top mistakes you should avoid:

• Mistake 1: Assuming email cancellation works. Some customers email a cancellation request to Personality Co's general support address, but the company may ignore it or claim they never received it. Email lacks accountability. Always use certified mail, which creates an irrefutable delivery record.
• Mistake 2: Forgetting to keep a copy of your cancellation letter. If you do not retain a copy, you have no proof of what you sent or when. Keep your draft, your signed version, and your certified mail receipt in a folder on your phone or computer.
• Mistake 3: Failing to monitor your account after canceling. Many customers cancel, feel relieved, and then ignore their bank statements for months. By the time they notice continued charges, multiple months have passed, making disputes harder. Set a reminder to check your statement every 30 days for two months after cancellation.
• Mistake 4: Not including all required account information in your cancellation letter. If you omit your account number, email, or billing address, Personality Co may claim they cannot identify your account and therefore cannot process the cancellation. Include every identifier you can find.
• Mistake 5: Waiting too long to dispute charges. Federal rules typically give you 60 days to dispute an unauthorized charge. If you wait months to report it, your bank may deny your dispute claim. Act within two weeks of discovering an unwanted charge.

Most customers find the combination of certified mail cancellation plus a simultaneous bank dispute to be the most reliable strategy. The certified mail proves Personality Co received your request; the bank dispute recovers your money if the company ignores you.

Where to send your cancellation request

Personality Co requires all cancellations to be submitted via written request to their postal address. Send your certified mail cancellation letter to the address provided in your account or on the company's official website.

Important: Always verify the mailing address on Personality Co's official website or your account statements before mailing. Company addresses change, and sending your letter to an outdated address may delay processing. If you cannot find the address in your account or on the website, contact their customer service and ask for the correct mailing address in writing (email or phone) before you send your cancellation.

Once you mail your cancellation via certified mail, save your receipt and tracking number. If you need to escalate to your bank, the FTC, or your state attorney general, this receipt is your strongest evidence that Personality Co received your cancellation request on a specific date.

Stopping unwanted charges takes effort, but you have the law and your bank on your side. Stopee believes every consumer deserves a straightforward cancellation process, and we're committed to helping you take back control of your money and your subscriptions.
