Cancel RealEats Step by Step
Know that RealEats is no longer operating
RealEats, the pre-made meal delivery service based in Geneva, NY, shut down in 2023. The website realeats.com is no longer active for orders. If you're here, you're likely dealing with lingering charges or account cleanup.
Check your bank statements for lingering charges
Even though RealEats has closed, some customers have reported seeing recurring charges continue after the shutdown. Pull up your credit card or bank statements and search for any charges from RealEats or related merchant names.
Contact your bank to dispute any active charges
If you find ongoing RealEats charges, call your bank or credit card company to dispute them. Ask them to block future payments to the RealEats merchant. Since the company is defunct, your bank is the most reliable way to stop charges.
Try emailing RealEats support as a backup
As a last resort, try reaching out via any email addresses you have from previous RealEats correspondence. Response times may be very slow or nonexistent given the shutdown, but it's worth a shot if your bank needs documentation.
Pro Tip
If your bank can't find the merchant, try searching your statements for variations like "RealEats Inc," "Real Eats," or "REALEATS.COM." Payment processors sometimes use slightly different names.
