How to Cancel Perpay & Close Your Account in 2026
Last updated: February 2026 • Difficulty: Medium • Cost: No monthly fee (deducts from paycheck)
🚨 Important: Perpay reports to credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax). Closing your account with outstanding balances can negatively affect your credit score. Pay off all orders before canceling.
Quick answer: Pay off all outstanding orders → Contact Perpay support at support@perpay.com or through the app → Request account closure.
Step 1: Check Your Balance
- Open the Perpay app or go to perpay.com
- Check My Orders for any outstanding balances
- Pay off all remaining installments — you can make extra payments to finish faster
- Wait until all balances show $0
Step 2: Stop Paycheck Deductions
Perpay deducts payments directly from your paycheck through your employer. To stop deductions:
- Contact your HR/payroll department and ask them to remove the Perpay deduction
- Or contact Perpay support and ask them to disconnect from your payroll
- Note: you still owe any remaining balance even if deductions stop
Step 3: Close Your Account
- Email support@perpay.com requesting account closure
- Or use the in-app support chat
- Confirm your identity (name, email, last 4 of SSN)
- Request written confirmation of account closure
How Perpay Works (And Why People Want Out)
Perpay lets you buy products and pay for them through automatic paycheck deductions — no credit check, no interest. Sounds great, but common complaints include:
- Inflated prices: Products on Perpay often cost 20-50% more than Amazon/Walmart
- Slow delivery: Items don't ship until paid off (can take months)
- Limited selection: Smaller catalog than regular retailers
- Paycheck dependency: Deductions reduce your take-home pay every period
Credit Score Impact
Perpay reports payment history to all three major credit bureaus. This means:
- On-time payments help build your credit score
- Missing payments or closing with a balance damages your score
- Closing the account (with $0 balance) won't hurt your score
- Your payment history stays on your credit report for up to 10 years
