Cancel Carepass: The Right Way
How to cancel carepass in south africa and reclaim your money
What is carepass and why consumers are cancelling
Carepass is a paid membership subscription managed by CareView (Pty) Ltd, a service provider operating in South Africa. The service promises member benefits through a recurring subscription model, but many South African consumers find themselves needing to cancel for reasons ranging from unused benefits to unexpected charges. If you're here, you likely want to exit this subscription without hassle - and Stopee is here to guide you through every step.
How carepass works
You pay a recurring subscription fee to access membership benefits. CareView (Pty) Ltd sets the terms and manages your account. The operator claims all purchases are non-refundable, and cancellations typically take effect at the end of your current paid period. However, your consumer rights under South African law may protect you in specific situations - more on that below.
Why you might want to cancel
You may be cancelling because you're not using the benefits, you've found a cheaper alternative, unexpected charges appeared on your statement, or you simply changed your mind. Whatever your reason, cancelling promptly stops future charges and protects your bank account. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers navigate this exact situation.
Your consumer rights in south africa under the CPA
The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) gives you specific legal protections that Carepass's blanket "non-refundable" policy cannot override in all circumstances.
Cooling-off periods and refund rights
Under the CPA, you may have a right to cancel within a cooling-off period - typically 5 business days for distance contracts (including online and phone purchases). If you cancel within this window, CareView must refund your payment, even if their terms say "non-refundable." This is a legal right, not a courtesy. Keep evidence of your purchase date; it proves when your cooling-off period started and ended.
When the CPA protects you
The CPA also covers situations where you did not receive goods or services as promised, where the service is defective, or where the contract terms are unfair or misleading. If Carepass failed to deliver promised benefits, charged you without clear consent, or applied hidden fees, you may have grounds to dispute the charge and request a refund. Do not assume the operator's "non-refundable" claim is final - the law may disagree.
How to cancel carepass step by step
CareView (Pty) Ltd requires you to contact them directly to cancel your subscription. There is no self-service cancellation portal published in their terms, so you must reach out to their support team. Stopee recommends following this exact sequence to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly and documented.
Method 1: email cancellation (recommended)
Email leaves a permanent record of your request. This is your safest option.
- Gather your account details:
- Your full name as it appears on the subscription
- The email address linked to your Carepass account
- Your order or subscription number (if available)
- The payment method you used (card ending digits or bank account)
- The date you subscribed
- Draft a clear, professional email to carepassupdate@cvshealth.com stating: "I wish to cancel my Carepass subscription effective immediately. Please confirm the cancellation date and ensure no further charges are applied after [current date]. I request written confirmation of this cancellation."
- Include all account details in your email so CareView can locate your record instantly.
- Send the email and retain a copy for your records.
- Wait for a response within 5 business days. If you do not hear back, send a follow-up email and note the date.
- When you receive confirmation, check that it states:
- Your subscription is cancelled
- The cancellation date
- That no future charges will occur
- Your access end date (usually end of current paid period)
Pro tip: Copy your email to your personal email inbox as well, in case you need to prove you sent it. Screenshot the confirmation email and save it to cloud storage or your computer.
Method 2: phone cancellation
If email feels too slow, you can request to cancel by phone. However, always follow up with an email to create a written record.
- Contact CareView (Pty) Ltd via their published customer service number (check your account statement or their website for the correct contact).
- Have your account details ready (see Method 1, step 1).
- Tell the representative: "I want to cancel my Carepass subscription immediately and need written confirmation by email."
- Ask for the representative's name, the date and time of the call, and a reference number.
- Request that they email you a cancellation confirmation immediately after the call.
- If they say they will email you but do not within 2 hours, send an email to carepassupdate@cvshealth.com referencing your phone call, the date, time, and the representative's name.
Warning: Do not accept a verbal cancellation alone. Phone representatives may make errors or your request may not be logged in the system. Always insist on written confirmation.
What happens after you cancel carepass
Cancellation is not instant - understanding your post-cancellation timeline prevents confusion and unwanted charges.
Access and billing timeline
Your Carepass access typically continues until the end of your current paid billing cycle. If you paid for a monthly subscription on 15 March and cancel on 20 March, you keep access until 15 April. After 15 April, your account closes and you lose access to member benefits. No charge should appear on 15 April or any date thereafter - if it does, contact CareView immediately and ask them to reverse the charge.
Auto-renewal and future charges
When you cancel, auto-renewal must stop. Check your bank or credit card statement for 14 days after your paid period ends. If a charge appears after your end date, contact your bank immediately and dispute the transaction as unauthorised. Then email CareView's cancellation team again, requesting a full reversal and explanation. Keep records of every communication.
Data and your account
CareView may retain your data after cancellation for legal or tax purposes, but they must not use it to market to you or reactivate your subscription without consent. If you receive emails after cancellation, reply asking them to remove your email address from all marketing lists. If they continue, mark them as spam or report them to the relevant South African regulatory body.
Will you get a refund for carepass
CareView claims all purchases are non-refundable, but this is not the final word - your legal rights and circumstances matter more.
Refund within the cooling-off period
If you cancel within 5 business days of purchase, you qualify for a refund under the CPA. CareView must return your full payment within 10 business days. Send your refund request via email to carepassupdate@cvshealth.com citing the CPA cooling-off period. State the exact amount, your payment method, and request a refund to the original payment method. Do not accept delays; if they refuse, escalate to the National Consumer Commission (see below).
Refund outside the cooling-off period
If more than 5 business days have passed since your purchase, you can still request a refund if:
- The service was not delivered as promised
- You were charged without clear consent
- Carepass is defective or unusable
- The contract terms are unfair or the operator misled you
Send a written complaint to CareView detailing why you believe the service breached the CPA. Request a refund and state your legal basis. If they refuse within 30 days, lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (see section below).
If CareView refuses your refund
Warning: Never accept a "no refund" response without questioning it. Your legal rights exist regardless of their policy.
- Reply to their refusal in writing, citing the specific section of the CPA that protects you.
- Give them 14 days to respond and reconsider.
- If they refuse again, gather all evidence:
- Your original purchase proof
- All emails with CareView
- Screenshots of charges on your statement
- Any proof the service was not delivered or was defective
- Lodge a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission (see below).

Common cancellation mistakes south african consumers make
Cancelling subscriptions can feel stressful, and it is easy to miss critical steps that leave you vulnerable to unwanted charges.
Mistake 1: assuming verbal cancellation is final
You call CareView, speak to someone, and they say "You're cancelled." Then a charge hits your account a month later. Never trust a verbal confirmation alone. Always follow up with an email and demand written proof. This is the number one reason consumers end up disputing charges they thought they had already cancelled.
Mistake 2: not gathering your account details before contacting support
When you email or call without your order number, subscription email, or payment details, CareView may struggle to locate your account. This delays cancellation. You may miss the cooling-off window or face another charge while they search for your record. Prepare every detail before you make contact.
Mistake 3: cancelling through a third party instead of the operator
Some consumers think they can cancel through their bank or the app store where they found Carepass. This rarely works. CareView manages the subscription directly, so only they can cancel it. Contact CareView directly via email or phone - do not rely on intermediaries.
Mistake 4: ignoring the cooling-off period deadline
You have 5 business days to cancel within the cooling-off period and claim a full refund. Once that window closes, getting your money back becomes harder. Count 5 business days from your purchase date right now. If you are still within that window, cancel immediately via email and request a refund.
Mistake 5: not keeping records
You delete your confirmation email or lose your receipt. Then three months later, you dispute a charge and cannot prove you cancelled. Save every email, screenshot, bank statement, and confirmation. Store them in cloud storage or email them to yourself. Records are your proof if a dispute arises.
Escalation: how to lodge a complaint with the national consumer commission
If CareView refuses to honour your cancellation, refund request, or legal rights, you have a regulatory escalation path. Stopee recommends this step when the operator ignores you or breaks the law.
When to escalate
Lodge a complaint with the National Consumer Commission (NCC) if CareView:
- Refuses to cancel your subscription despite your written request
- Continues charging you after you cancelled
- Denies a refund you are legally entitled to under the CPA
- Ignores your complaints for more than 30 days
- Uses unfair contract terms or misleading practices
How to file a complaint
- Visit the National Consumer Commission website or contact them:
- Website: www.ncc.org.za
- Email: contact details available on their site
- Phone: contact their call centre for guidance
- Complete their complaint form with:
- Your full name and contact details
- CareView's business name and address
- A clear description of what happened
- The dates of your purchase, cancellation request, and any charges
- Copies of all emails, receipts, and bank statements
- What outcome you are seeking (refund, cancellation, damages)
- Submit the form with all supporting documents.
- The NCC will investigate and attempt to resolve the dispute within a reasonable timeframe.
- Keep a copy of your complaint and the NCC's reference number for your records.
Pro tip: The NCC process is free and confidential. Using it signals to CareView that you are serious about your rights, and many operators comply quickly once regulatory involvement begins.
