How to cancel El Correo in Spain
Guide updated: July 2026
Cancel your El Correo contract without battling Spanish hold music: fill in the form in English and get a formal cancellation letter in legally appropriate Spanish — free as a PDF, or sent for you as an electronic burofax with acknowledgment of receipt.
What you get by sending your cancellation as a burofax
- The date is locked in. The exact day you communicated your cancellation is on record: notice periods, lock-ins and renewals all count from then.
- They cannot claim it never arrived. The acknowledgment of receipt proves delivery and the exact content of your request. No more «we have no record of your cancellation».
- If they call to keep you, you don't have to accept anything. Your cancellation is already valid in writing; the letter expressly asks for all handling to be done in writing.
- If they keep charging, you have the proof. With the receipt you can claim your money back before the company, consumer authorities or a court.
In practice: your cancellation is verifiably delivered and validly communicated to El Correo, with a proven date. The legal deadlines run from that day and El Correo is legally obliged to process it. We can't force them to do it properly nor stop them from calling — but they can no longer deny receiving it, or when, and you hold the proof to enforce it.

Estimados señores:
Por medio del presente escrito, yo, D./D.ª [Nombre y apellidos], con DNI/NIE [DNI/NIE], en mi condición de titular del contrato de prestación de servicios con número de referencia [n.º de contrato], comunico de forma fehaciente mi voluntad de causar BAJA en el servicio contratado con su entidad, con efecto en la fecha más temprana legalmente posible.
Solicito expresamente que se proceda a la cancelación efectiva del servicio, que cesen todos los cargos y facturaciones a partir de la fecha de efecto indicada, y que se me facilite por escrito el número de referencia o expediente de esta baja, así como confirmación de su fecha efectiva.
De conformidad con el Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2007, por el que se aprueba el texto refundido de la Ley General para la Defensa de los Consumidores y Usuarios, les recuerdo su obligación de tramitar esta solicitud en los plazos legalmente establecidos y de no aplicar penalizaciones improcedentes. En caso de existir compromiso de permanencia, solicito el desglose detallado de cualquier penalización, que deberá ser en todo caso proporcional al tiempo pendiente.
La presente comunicación es fehaciente y suficiente por sí misma para surtir plenos efectos, sin que su validez quede condicionada a ninguna confirmación telefónica. Solicito que toda gestión relativa a esta solicitud se realice exclusivamente por escrito (correo postal o electrónico) y no autorizo llamadas comerciales ni de retención. La eventual falta de respuesta telefónica por mi parte no suspenderá ni dejará sin efecto esta solicitud.
La presente comunicación se remite de forma fehaciente, con acuse de recibo y constancia de su contenido y fecha, a efectos probatorios. Quedo a la espera de su confirmación por escrito.
Atentamente,

What to know when cancelling Newspapers & magazines in Spain
- Automatic renewal: Spanish press subscriptions (print and digital) renew automatically for equal periods; to stop the renewal you must respect your contract's notice period (from 24 hours to one month depending on the title). Note: the one-month rule of art. 22 Ley 50/1980 applies to insurance policies, NOT to press subscriptions.
- Print vs. digital: they are usually separate contracts with different terms and cancellation channels — some papers let you cancel the digital plan online but require a phone call or a letter for home delivery. Check which plan you actually have before sending your cancellation.
- 14-day withdrawal: if you signed up online or by phone you can withdraw within 14 calendar days (arts. 102–104 TRLGDCU); with digital subscriptions this right is usually lost once you start using the service after accepting the express waiver.
Your general rights as a consumer in Spain
- Right to cancel: you can end an ongoing service by communicating it verifiably; the company must process it within legal deadlines and without improper penalties (RDL 1/2007).
- 14-day withdrawal: if you signed up online or by phone less than 14 calendar days ago, you can withdraw without giving reasons (arts. 102–104 TRLGDCU).
- Objection to renewal: you can stop the automatic renewal of a fixed-term contract by giving notice within the agreed period.
Frequently asked questions
How do I cancel El Correo in Spain?
Write a formal cancellation request with your details, your customer number and the effective date, and send it to El Correo by a means that creates proof (burofax, certified mail or the official cancellations channel). Our generator drafts the letter for you in under 2 minutes — you can download it free as a PDF.
Do I need to speak Spanish to use this?
No. You fill in the form in English; the letter itself is generated in formal Spanish — which is what El Correo expects and what works legally in Spain. You see a live preview and can download the PDF for free.
What if El Correo only lets me cancel by phone?
Even if customer service insists on a call, a verifiable written notice puts the date and content of your cancellation on record. Send the letter and, if they call to keep you, you don't have to accept anything: your cancellation has already been communicated. If they keep charging you afterwards, you hold the proof to claim your money back.
What is a burofax and why does it matter in Spain?
A burofax is Spain's standard method for legally reliable communications — roughly the equivalent of certified mail with proof of content. It proves you sent the letter and, with acknowledgment of receipt, that it was delivered. Spanish companies take it seriously.
How much does cancelling El Correo cost with DarmeDeBaja.es?
Generating and downloading your letter as a PDF is free, no sign-up. If you want us to send it for you as an electronic burofax with acknowledgment of receipt, it costs €4.99 per delivery — a traditional postal burofax can cost up to €36.
