Step 1: Accessing Your Credit Karma Account

- Open Your Web Browser or Mobile App: Head over to the Credit Karma website on your computer or open the Credit Karma mobile app on your phone or tablet.

Step 2: Navigating to Account Settings
Once you're logged in, the next step is to find your account settings. The exact location might vary slightly depending on whether you're using the website or the mobile app, but here are some general directions:
On the Website:
- Look for a Profile Icon or Menu: Typically, you'll find a profile icon, your initials, or a menu (often represented by three horizontal lines) in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
- Click on Account Settings or Profile Settings: Hover over or click on this icon or menu. You should see a dropdown or a sidebar with various options. Look for something like "Account Settings," "Profile," or "Settings."
On the Mobile App:
- Find the Profile Section: In the mobile app, you'll usually find a dedicated "Profile" or "Account" section. This might be located at the bottom of the screen or accessible through a menu icon (again, often three horizontal lines) in the upper corner.
- Tap on Settings or Account Information: Once in the profile section, look for options like "Settings," "Account Information," or something similar.
Step 3: Locating the Credit Builder Plan
Now that you're in your account settings, you need to find the specific section related to your Credit Builder plan.

Step 4: Initiating the Cancellation Process
Once you've found the Credit Builder plan, it's time to start the cancellation.
- Look for a "Manage Plan" or "Cancel" Option: Next to or below the Credit Builder plan details, you should see an option to "Manage Plan," "View Details," or possibly a direct "Cancel" button.
- Click on the Relevant Option: Click on the button or link that seems to lead to managing or canceling your plan.
Step 5: Confirming Your Cancellation
After initiating the cancellation, you'll likely be asked to confirm your decision.
- Read the Cancellation Details Carefully: Pay close attention to any information provided about the cancellation, such as when it will take effect, any potential fees, or what happens to the funds in your Credit Builder account.
- Follow the On-Screen Instructions: You might need to click a confirmation button, select a reason for canceling, or take other steps as guided by the Credit Karma interface.
- Be Aware of Potential Consequences: Understand that canceling the Credit Builder plan might impact your credit-building progress if you were actively using it for that purpose.
Step 6: Verifying the Cancellation
After you've gone through the cancellation steps, it's crucial to ensure that the process has been completed successfully.

- Check for a Confirmation Email: Credit Karma usually sends a confirmation email when you make changes to your account or cancel a service. Look for an email in your inbox (and spam folder) confirming your Credit Builder plan has been canceled.
- Review Your Account Dashboard: Log back into your Credit Karma account and navigate to the Credit Builder section. It should now indicate that your plan is canceled or no longer active.
- Monitor Your Bank Account: If the Credit Builder plan involved automatic withdrawals, keep an eye on your bank account to ensure that no further deductions are made after the cancellation date.
