Cancellation Process Raises Serious Concerns
I rarely leave reviews, but this experience absolutely deserves one.
I signed up for a one month subscription and within a week realised this site is completely low quality and not worth the money. Naturally, I decided to cancel, which is where the real problem begins.
They claim there is a cancellation link at the bottom of the homepage. That is misleading. On every normal subscription service, clicking cancel takes you through a simple process where you confirm your choice, maybe give a reason, and that is it.
Not here.
Instead, you are redirected to a form that feels more like applying for a passport than cancelling a dating subscription. They ask for your username, the exact date you subscribed, your payment method, and even personal details such as your address. None of this should be necessary just to cancel a subscription.
After completing all of that, you are then told that customer support will respond within five working days.
Five working days just to cancel a subscription.
This delay creates a very obvious risk. Anyone trying to cancel close to their renewal date could easily be pushed into another billing cycle and charged again. Based on the number of similar complaints, this does not appear to be a one off issue.
I have now submitted the cancellation request through their process and received an email confirming that my request has been received.
My subscription is due to expire on 8 May 2026, and I made my intention to cancel well within this period. I have kept full records of everything, including screenshots, receipts, and all communication related to this cancellation.
However, it is concerning to see many other users report that even after following the cancellation process, they were still pursued for additional payments, in some cases involving third party debt collection agencies and significantly inflated amounts.
I hope that will not be the case here. Given that I have followed their stated process and acted within the correct timeframe, any attempt to charge me further or pursue payment will be formally disputed and escalated, including seeking legal advice if necessary.
For a company operating under UK consumer protection and GDPR standards, this process is deeply concerning and, in my view, unnecessarily obstructive.
Avoid.

Hello VaderKnight,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry to hear that the service and cancellation process left you feeling disappointed.
The cancellation form is in place to securely identify the correct account and prevent unauthorized changes, but I’m sorry if it felt overly complicated in your case.
At this time, I haven’t been able to check your account yet, as I would need the requested information in order to locate your profile. Please either provide those details as requested, or contact me directly at trustpilot@c-date.co.uk
so I can personally help you check the status of your Premium membership and cancellation request.
I’ll be happy to assist you further.
Best regards,
Mia

I’d like to reassure you that C-Date is a genuine service. We also take the quality of profiles seriously, and if any suspicious profiles are reported, they are reviewed by our teams.
Regarding cancellation, the cancellation is made easy via the cancellation form on our websites homepage, accessible before logging in, I’m sorry if the process felt difficult in your case.
Concerning the outstanding payments, I would need more information related to your profile with us in order to assist you.
Please feel free to contact me directly at trustpilot@c-date.co.uk with your details so I can review your account and help clarify everything for you.
Update: I’ve had a look at your account and can see you cancelled via the link, which is great, it just came through after the renewal.
That said, I’ve reviewed your case and it’s now been closed. There are no payments due.
If you want to go over anything in more detail, feel free to email me directly.
Best regards,
Mia
Twice I have now requested this fraud…
Twice I have now requested this fraud company to delete my account and stop taking payments for fake profiles, today I decided to report fraudulent payment to metropolitan police and bank fraud team, like many have said its fake yet still take payments, you will be liable for any solicitor fees from 13th April 26, I've asked you twice, here is copy of email Hi Andyboy,
We have received your cancellation and we can confirm that your Premium Membership will expire on 11.05.2026.
I didn't cancel renewal in time limit, I asked cdate 3 days after I opened account so if 3 days after account opened isn't on time, then yes you're a scam. I've read most comments about cdate problems after problems profiles say uk, you scan photos and they from different people mostly outside UK who have zero knowledge there photos are being used on you're site. Again this was all said in first email to cdate.
Thank you for full refund, I can only ask that you're site change a few a few things, making it easier for customers to find end subscription instead of having to scroll, secondly, more checks are done on photos, example, lady live says uk London, scan photo says photo from lady in Spain most I've spoken to after few messages are more interested in what's in you're bank account which straight away red flag, better verification on female members is needed, uk license, uk home telephone number etc.

Cancelling the subscription is a joke
Cancelling the subscription is a joke
They are making it absolutely impossible to cancel.
I have sent several formal requests to cancel as the cancellation link is broken and asks for information I can't possibly provide.
In the UK a formal request is sufficient but not with these crooks.
Edited....
I would like to believe the response provided by cdate but in emails from cdate getting to this point they refused to take a formal letter of cancellation by replying if you don't fill the form out you will be charged!!!
That is against UK statutory regulation.
The questions in the cancellation form were unreasonable and the conditions to log out afterwards otherwise you would be charged unfair plus the saved password didn't work adding more confusion.
Hence losing trust quickly
It was one barrier after another and it seems I'm not the only one to notice it!!

C-SCAM. AVOID
I subscribed for the one month trial only to realise almost immediately that it was a dodgy site full of fake profiles. It was extremely difficult to find the online form you needed to submit to cancel the membership but I submitted it same day as i joined. An automated prompt appeared on screen stating that I would be notified by email of the cancellation. Alarm bells were ringing. This is not how sites work in this day and age. That confirmation email never came. Over the next few days I must have submitted the online cancellation form another ten times. Still, nothing. Extremely worrying. A month later my bank contacted me about suspected fraud confirming my suspicions. The bank asked if I wanted to cancel that and all future payments, to which I obviously agreed. I finally opted to write a review on Google Play to warn others. C-Date replied to that review asking me to send an email to a specific address, confirming my email address, so that they could cancel my subscription. I sent it. Again, no reply. I have since received extremely aggressive letters in the post threatening legal action for lack of payment. I replied to the debt collectors explaining the above and was asked to provide proof of my attempt to cancel the subscription. Who, in their right mind, would take a screen shot of a prompt on the screen saying that i would receive confirmation of cancellation by email. A legitimate site would never do this. Its just not normal. Absolute scam. I have spoken with the Citizens Advice Bureau and as a result submitted a report to the Police. At this point, if they want to take me to court, go for it. Consumer Rights Act. UK and EU laws would eat them up. SCAM. Preying on vulnerable, lonely people and threatening them. You should be ashamed. Disgusting. If C-Date was a legitimate site it would be the most incompetent and negligent dating site ever, but it's not because it's a SCAM. They have intentially manipulated their setup to trap you in a web of lies, gaslighting you into thinking that you are the guilty party and then attempting to rob you blind. Hundreds if not thousands of negative reviews online, all corroborating my story. The authorities should shut you down!

3 companies so ugly, even their shadows are unattractive.
They’re nothing more than a predatorial scam company, working in coordination with tinpot debt collectors like ECollect AG and unethical ambulance chasers such as Astras-Veritas, namely ‘Radoslav Koychev’, which is obviously a pseudonym and play on the name of Bulgarian politician; Radoslav Boychev. They use bullyboy tactics to make you pay up for supposed debts and threatening legal action, etc.
Do yourself a favour and stay away from them!

"C-Date law" primarily refers to UK…
"C-Date law" primarily refers to UK consumer rights disputes involving the online dating platform C-Date. It is not a formal legal statute but a common search term for users facing aggressive subscription and debt collection practices associated with the site.
1. Consumer Rights Issues (C-Date Platform)
Many users report difficulties with C-Date’s subscription model, often leading to legal concerns:
Automatic Renewals: Users frequently complain of being charged for full subscriptions after a trial period ends, often without clear prior consent.
Cancellation Difficulties: The site has been widely criticized for having an obstructive or "impossible" cancellation process, sometimes requiring a fax or burying instructions deep within the interface.
Debt Collection Threats: If payments are stopped via a bank, users often receive threatening letters from foreign (often German or Luxembourg-based) debt collection agencies demanding sums that can escalate to over £300.
2. Legal Protections and Recourse
Legal experts note several protections under UK law for those affected:
Debt Enforceability: Foreign debt collectors generally cannot enforce payments in the UK without a successful UK court judgment. Legal professionals suggest these companies rarely pursue such claims due to the high cost and complexity post-Brexit.
Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013: UK law provides a 14-day right to cancel for most online services.
Consumer Rights Act 2015: Contracts may be deemed unenforceable if they contain "unfair terms," such as misleading pricing or hidden renewal clauses.
Harassment Laws: Continuous aggressive demands for payment may be classified as unlawful harassment under the Administration of Justice Act 1970.
3. Alternative Meanings
"Circa" Date: In broader legal and historical contexts, a "c. date" (e.g., c. 1920) indicates an approximate date, abbreviated from the Latin circa.
VBA Coding: In technical environments (like Excel), CDate is a function used to convert strings into a Date data type.
Statutory Citation: In UK legislation, "c." followed by a number (e.g., 2024 c. 10) refers to the chapter number of an Act of Parliament.
