Cancellation of internet subscription is unnecessarily difficult

Dear KPN,

I left the Netherlands over a month ago and have been trying to cancel my internet subscription. According to your policy, I could do so by providing a work contract from my new country, which I did.

However, my request was rejected because I was still registered in the municipality.

I explained that I needed to remain registered temporarily to complete the import process for my car, as my insurance was linked to my Dutch address. Despite this, I was told that I had to deregister before proceeding with the cancellation. I complied.

Since deregistering from my municipality a month ago, I have successfully:

  • Canceled my Dutch license plate

  • Paid and received adjustments for water and garbage taxes at my new address

  • Filed my Dutch IRS

At this point, the only remaining link to the Netherlands is my KPN subscription. I provided an official document from the Municipality confirming my de-registration, yet my request was rejected again.

Why is this document not being accepted? It is an official record from the municipality, which you can verify directly with them.

I have proven that I no longer reside in the Netherlands and no longer use your services. However, I continue to be charged, and I will not pay for another month of service I do not need.

This process should be straightforward—other agencies such as the RDW have been efficient and cooperative. I fail to understand why KPN is making this unnecessarily difficult.

I have always paid my bills on time, but I no longer want this service. I have provided multiple valid documents, including:

  • My new work contract

  • Proof of residence in my new country

  • My official de-registration from the Municipality

Now, you are asking me to pay for an additional document just to meet an internal requirement, despite already having valid proof of my relocation.

I kindly ask you to accept the documents I have submitted and process my cancellation immediately.

Looking forward to your prompt resolution.

Best regards

Hi ​@jmdjac . Welcome to the KPN Community.

The KPN Community is a platform where customers help each other, and we, as moderators, guide the conversations along and we donbt have influence over contract decisions.

I understand that this situation is frustrating. The best course of action would be to go through the cancellation procedure again, ensuring that all required documents match KPN’s policy. Please refer to the official cancellation guidelines and submit the necessary documents accordingly.  I know you already did this and I'm sorry that you got denied. I dont have acces to that data so I can't provide a reason.
