How do you cancel a charge for an owner's manual you did not want?

Answer

Contact the company that billed the $65 through the order or subscription email and request a cancellation or refund. If they will not help, dispute the charge with your card issuer and stop any recurring billing.

Before you start: stop right away if…

  • Refund scammers often call offering to reverse a charge if you share codes or install remote software.

Follow these steps

  1. Identify the merchant

    Check your card or bank statement for the exact merchant name and date of the $65 charge. Search your email for that merchant’s receipt.

    You should see: You know which company billed you and have any order number.

  2. Request cancellation and refund

    Use the merchant’s official support chat, phone, or cancellation link from the receipt. Clearly ask to cancel the purchase and refund the $65, and ask whether any subscription will renew.

    You should see: The merchant confirms cancellation and a refund timeline, or refuses in writing.

  3. Remove stored payment methods

    If the site has an account, delete the saved card and turn off auto-renew. Change the account password if you did not create the account yourself.

    You should see: No saved card remains for future manual or document charges.

  4. Dispute with the card issuer if needed

    If the merchant will not refund, open a billing dispute with your card issuer and provide the statement line, emails, and your cancellation request.

    You should see: The issuer opens a dispute case and may issue a temporary credit.

Extra tips

What to look for: A recent $65 charge described as an owner's manual, document fee, or similar add-on you did not intend to buy.

Before you change anything: Find the merchant name exactly as it appears on the bank or card statement. Locate any confirmation email for the purchase. Do not give remote access to anyone who calls about the refund.
