Paramount Plus Cancel Subscription: UK Steps (Apple/Google/Web)

Why this matters for credit score readers

Cancelling Paramount+ won’t change your UK credit score by itself. But it can reduce the small “cash flow shocks” that cause bigger problems: going into an unarranged overdraft, bouncing a direct debit, or missing a minimum payment.

If you’re getting ready for a mortgage, car finance, or even a mobile contract, the calm goal is simple: fewer surprises in your outgoings.

Option 1: Cancel if you pay Paramount+ directly

If Paramount+ bills you directly, you typically cancel from your account on the Paramount+ website. Menu labels can change, but the pattern is consistent: sign in, find account or subscription settings, then cancel and keep the confirmation.

1. Go to the Paramount+ website and sign in to your account.
2. Open Account (or Subscription / Billing).
3. Select Cancel subscription (or Cancel).
4. Confirm cancellation and note the end date.

If you can’t see the cancellation option, use Paramount+ support to confirm who bills you and the effective end date: Paramount+ Help.

Option 2: Cancel Paramount+ if you subscribed through Apple

If Apple is billing you, cancel in your Apple ID subscriptions (not inside Paramount+):

1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
2. Tap your name → Subscriptions.
3. Select Paramount+.
4. Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.

If there’s no cancel button, Apple notes it may already be cancelled: Apple: cancel a subscription.

Option 3: Cancel Paramount+ if you subscribed through Google Play

If Google Play is billing you, cancel it in Google Play subscriptions:

• Android: Google Play → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Paramount+ → Cancel.
• Web: play.google.com/subscriptions → select Paramount+ → cancel.

Google’s help page covers cancellation timing and what happens after: Google Play: cancel, pause or change a subscription.

Option 4: Cancel Paramount+ if you’re billed by Amazon (Prime Video Channels)

If you subscribed to Paramount+ as a Prime Video Channel, you cancel it in your Amazon account (not in the Paramount+ app). Look for the memberships/subscriptions area and switch off auto-renew for the channel.

Amazon’s help pages for managing subscriptions can help you find the right screen if menus move: Amazon: memberships and subscriptions.

Option 5: Cancel Paramount+ if you’re billed by Sky

If Paramount+ is included as an add-on through Sky, cancellation is handled in your Sky account (or via Sky support). The key is that you’re cancelling the Sky-billed add-on, not your Paramount+ login.

If you’re not sure whether Sky bills you, your bank statement will usually make it obvious.

Timing, renewals, and refunds

Most subscriptions work like this: cancelling stops future renewals, and you keep access until the end of the current paid period. The exact wording can vary by platform and plan.

• Cancel early: app stores can process renewals ahead of the renewal moment.
• Take proof: screenshot the end date or keep the confirmation email.
• Refunds aren’t automatic: they depend on who billed you and the policy for that platform.

If you’re cancelling because money feels tight, you’re not “failing at budgeting”. You’re doing maintenance: removing a monthly charge you’re not using.

Troubleshooting: if it still won’t cancel

• You’re cancelling in the wrong place: go back to the “who bills you” check.
• You’re in the wrong account: old Apple IDs, Google accounts, or Amazon logins are a common reason you can’t see the subscription.
• You deleted the app: uninstalling doesn’t stop billing.
• Renewal processed already: you may still have access for the rest of the billing period.
• Avoid scam links: don’t click random “cancel now” emails. Use official app settings or official support pages.

Does cancelling Paramount+ affect your credit score?

For most people: no. Paramount+ isn’t a credit account reported to UK credit reference agencies.

What can matter indirectly is whether the renewal charge causes problems elsewhere (like slipping into an unarranged overdraft). If that’s relevant for you, this guide can help: Does Overdraft Affect Credit Score? UK Guide.
