Cancelling Utilities and Services Having utilities and services installed is easier than canceling them. Most companies do not allow a person other than the one that signed for the service to request the service terminated, unless you give the person a specific power of attorney duly registered by a public notary. Utilities such as telephone, cable, and internet provider, can be cancelled over the phone , but make sure you have the account holder’s protocol number to request cancellation. Whenever applicable, organize the return of equipment before you leave the country Bank accounts can only be closed after you are removed from local payroll and make sure to cancel all bills addressed directly to the bank and stop any automatic payments Cancel all subscriptions you will no longer need and change addresses for the ones you want to keep Cancel club or gym membership Taxes and payroll: make sure your employer has all the necessary documents to finalize your process. Remember that a final income tax report must be filed so you are no longer legally bound to pay further taxes
