Why do I still have an outstanding balance after cancelling?
Short answer
An outstanding balance after cancellation is usually due to charges incurred before the service ended, billing in arrears, or early termination fees. This does not mean your account is still active.
Common reasons for an outstanding balance
An outstanding balance may include:
-
Charges up to the service end date
Your service remains billable until the notice period ends. -
Billing in arrears
Some usage or services are billed after the period has ended. -
Early termination fees
If applicable under your contract terms. -
Previous unpaid invoices
Any balance that existed before cancellation.
Does this mean my service is still active?
No.
-
Billing adjustments can occur after cancellation
-
A remaining balance relates to past charges, not ongoing service
Once the final invoice is issued, no further charges will be added.
Where to check your balance
You can review your balance:
-
In the BillNow platform, which shows all invoices and payments
