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
