Open the Play Store, go to your order history, select the Birmingham Live purchase, tap Report a problem and request a refund. Requests within 48 hours are often auto-approved.

Birmingham Live cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Birmingham Live stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date Birmingham Live will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from Birmingham Live?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Birmingham Live directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Birmingham Live charge and choose Request a refund. On Android, open the Play Store order history, select the purchase and tap Report a problem. Requests made within 48 hours are often approved automatically.
Why is Birmingham Live still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Birmingham Live as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my Birmingham Live account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Birmingham Live app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to Birmingham Live right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to Birmingham Live until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
