Dear Readers! The article talks about typical ways of solving legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to know how to solve your problem - contact a consultant:

If for some reason it was decided to turn off the services received, then there is a need to terminate the contract. Let's take a closer look at the procedure for terminating the agreement with Rostelecom.

General points

The procedure for terminating the contract does not entail any complexity, but, despite this, it is necessary to pay attention to some important features. In particular, it all depends on what kind of service we are talking about.

Initial information

Only those citizens whose personal information was entered into the agreement and are consumers can terminate the agreement with Rostelecom for telephone, Internet or television.

Often there are situations in which:

  • the subscriber does not have the opportunity to personally contact one of the company's offices due to his constant employment or distance from his place of residence;
  • the subscriber died.

In the first situation, it is possible to send the necessary documentation by mail. To minimize the risk of loss in transit, it is recommended that you send copies.

In this case, you will have to wait a long time for the response to the generated request, which is why this option is not recommended.

In the second case, it is necessary to apply to the legal successors with supporting documentation of the death of the subscriber.

Significance of the agreement

The service agreement is a confirmation of the legal relationship that has arisen between the client (consumer of services) and Rostelecom.

In other words, the contract bears a legal subtext used to protect the interests of each party.

Legal framework

The main regulatory document that regulates the issue under consideration is considered to be the Federal Law “On Protection of Consumer Rights”.

In particular, Article 32 allows citizens to refuse at any time to provide services that they are unhappy with.

The key point in this case is the full payment for the service received and, if necessary, compensate for the costs incurred.

Specifics of terminating an agreement with Rostelecom

The procedure for terminating a contract entails many pitfalls, which are extremely important to know about in order to minimize the risks of various misunderstandings.

List of required documents

The main list of documentation includes:

  • internal passport of Russia;
  • certificate of ownership of real estate in the original + copy format;
  • real estate purchase and sale agreement;
  • an agreement that was signed with Rostelecom for the provision of services.

With the collected package of documents, you must contact one of the offices of the company and submit together with the application.

A power of attorney to terminate the Rostelecom communication services agreement can be drawn up for any representative if it is impossible to submit the documents with his own hand.

Submission of an application (form)

The procedure for drawing up an application does not entail any difficulties. It is enough only to be attentive to the information specified in the document, and to exclude the possibility

In addition, you additionally need to pay attention to some nuances, namely:

  • if the agreement is signed without the purchase of the equipment, then it is leased, because of this it follows that it must be handed over to the company;
  • in the case of purchasing equipment in installments, before terminating the agreement, you must fully repay the existing debt obligations;
  • if the equipment is repurchased, it does not need to be returned.

This must be remembered in order to minimize the risks of misunderstanding.

Nuances of the procedure

Depending on what kind of service you plan to refuse, the termination procedure may carry various features. For this reason, we will consider each situation separately.

On the internet

In most cases, the procedure for terminating an Internet contract is carried out due to the lack of a really declared speed.

Most consumers mistakenly believe that the provider is obliged to always provide the highest possible speed, despite the fact that nothing is specified in the agreement (for example, a specific speed is indicated, but if possible, it will be provided above).

Often the slowdown occurs during rush hour, when many users return from work or office and start using the Internet for their needs. Do not forget about possible technical failures on the line of an upstream provider.

If a decision is made to switch to another provider, then you should study the content of the contract to find out on what conditions the router or modem was provided.

If there is no such item in the text, then you need to return it. If the declared purchase amount has not been repaid, then you must initially repay the existing debt obligations.

Often the reason for termination can be disagreement with the increase in the established tariff.

To home phone

Since the advent of cellular communications and mobile phones, the demand for landline phones has dropped significantly. Many are convinced that such expenses are useless and decide to disconnect Rostelecom's communications.

Before contacting the office, you first need to call the support service and declare your intentions and find out where you can terminate the agreement with Rostelecom.

It is not excluded that in this situation the company manager will call back and offer more economical tariffs. Thanks to this, you can significantly save your family budget.

In case of serious intentions to turn off your home phone, you should initially check for the presence or absence of debt.

On television

Interactive television has become very firmly established in modern life. Moreover, this is due not only to the fact that the image quality is much better from a conventional antenna, but an extended list of services is also provided.

If you wish, you can watch channels simultaneously on several TVs, thanks to the use of the Multiroom service.

In order to receive services from Rostelecom, you must use a set-top box or video sender.
Their cost is high and in most cases we are talking about buying in installments.

If the installment period is not completed, then the period of termination of the contract must initially be paid off the debt obligations.

If the equipment has been leased, then it is mandatory to hand it over in the proper form.

How to find out if there is a debt

Before contacting one of the Rostelecom offices and writing the corresponding application, it is imperative to make sure that there is no debt on the personal personal account.

You can find out the necessary information:

  • by calling the company's hotline;
  • using a personal account;
  • using a mobile application.

It is possible to find out about the debt by personal contacting the company office. Only after the debt obligations have been repaid, it will be possible to write a statement to terminate the contract.

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that terminals and ATMs are installed in many offices of the company in order to pay fees according to tariffs.

They can not only pay debt obligations, but also make monthly payments. Everyone has the right to choose the best option for themselves.

Can I cancel through my personal account (online)

In order to form a request to terminate the receipt of Rostelecom services, you must pass authorization in your personal account.

After that, you need to go to the category of service provision and select “Voluntary blocking”. After such a function is activated, the amendments made must be saved.

The form of the Agreement on the provision of communication services, together with the details of the operator, the rules for the provision of communication services, is posted for review on the operator's website and is available at the link http://www.onlime.ru/abonents/documents/.

The appearance of the form of the Agreement looks like this:

It is important to note that the completion of the Agreement takes place in the subscriber department or service centers of the operator by the potential subscriber personally, or by an authorized person in the presence of a drawn up power of attorney to conclude an agreement with Rostelecom. In any case, the issuing individual is required to provide a passport.

When filling out, in addition to passport and registration data, the necessary options for the provision of additional are marked with checkmarks.

Before going to conclude an Agreement with Rostelecom, we recommend that you thoroughly study the Rules for the provision of communication services of PJSC Rostelecom to individuals. By the way, there are repeated references to them in the contract form itself, printed in small print at the bottom of the document. You may not be able to change the form of a standard agreement, but you can always show yourself as a legally competent person, and, if necessary, require the drawing up of a protocol of disagreements to the agreement being concluded, in which disputable points can be taken into account.

Equipment rental

Usually, providers arrange various promotions for shareware provision of equipment, which significantly interest potential customers. And in combination with "tasty" tariffs, it seems unrealistic to refuse.

When renting equipment, do not forget to require the registration of an equipment acceptance certificate, as an addition to the main Agreement.

In the future, if you decide to terminate the contract, you will have to return the equipment to the operator. And, if the acceptance certificate is absent, you will have to compensate the cost of the equipment in full

Please note that if you have refused the services of Rostelecom, and the equipment has not been returned, then the rent will continue to accrue to you, but not at the prices of the promotion, but at the basic rate.

Contract number

An important point to remember is the contract number or, otherwise, the personal account. It will come in handy when making payments for the Internet both at stationary payment points, and online payments or using payment terminals. If you only use your home phone, you don't have to remember the contract number, just remember the phone number

You can find out the contract number by going to the official website http://www.rostelecom.ru/, by selecting your region in the upper right corner of the page and only then, by entering your Personal Account after entering the login and password provided by the operator upon connection, in the settings you will see the desired a combination of 14 digits (framed in the figure)

If you are not an Internet subscriber, you can see your personal account in the monthly receipt sent to you.

Public offer agreement

Usually, contracts are concluded as follows: one party sends an offer to conclude an agreement, and the other party, in case of agreement with the terms, signs an agreement. But contractors may not always be in one place at the same time to conclude an agreement. Plus, the operator (in our case, Rostelecom) can offer the conclusion of a contract or annexes to it at the same time to an unlimited number of subscribers by publishing the text of the proposal on its official website or in the media. This is the offer of the offer.

The contract is concluded by the mutual expression of the will of the counterparties, when the person who received the offer, by his certain actions (registration on the website, making a payment, etc.) accepts his consent.

This should be taken into account when preparing a claim for filing a lawsuit against Rostelecom, if such a need arises and the Agreement or its Supplements were previously accepted.

More information about Rostelecom's offer proposals can be found on the operator's official website https://moscow.rt.ru/service/srvhometel/tel_dictionary/doc_tel.

Starting cooperation with Rostelecom, each client signs an agreement. This is how an agreement is concluded for any service, be it television, mobile communications or the Internet. To refuse them, you need to write a statement on termination of the relevant agreement. This material provides a complete list of documents and ways in which this can be done.

Application for termination of the contract

First, the actual client of the company needs to download the termination of the contract. Open the downloaded document in a text editor and see the following:

The position and surname of the person to whom it is addressed has already been entered in the "head" of the application. The user only needs to indicate his full name and enter the following information in the empty fields:

  • from what date he refuses the services of the company;
  • the number of the contract (can be found in the document that you signed during the conclusion of the agreement with Rostelecom);
  • reasons for refusal;
  • date and signature.

Before transferring the document to the service provider, it is necessary to pay in full. Re-read the agreement signed earlier and make sure that you did not lease or install any equipment from Rostelecom. If they did take it, then the debt must be paid in full.

The second important point concerns the time of termination of the contract. If the latter states that in case of refusal from services earlier than a year later, the client undertakes to pay the company some compensation, it will have to be done. The contract will be terminated only after the fulfillment of all the described obligations.

Termination of the Internet contract

Why can a client refuse the services of his provider? Most likely due to the fact that the real Internet speed is much inferior to that which the company guaranteed to provide. There is one important nuance here that causes various misunderstandings.

In the contract for the supply of Internet services, the maximum Internet speed is always indicated. This does not mean at all that it will always be like this. At certain times of the day, the load on the provider's lines increases and the Internet speed drops.

This usually happens in the evenings, when most of the users return home and enjoy “plunging” into the World Wide Web. Due to congestion, all kinds of technical failures are possible, and not just a drop in Internet speed.

If you nevertheless decide to change your provider in the hope of getting better services, first re-read your agreement with Rostelecom. If you rented a router, you will have to return it to the company. Have you purchased the equipment in installments? Be so kind as to pay off the balance of your debt!

Termination of a television contract

Rostelecom's interactive television is attracting more and more viewers. To ensure the quality of the broadcast, the company provides excellent equipment. No less tempting are the large number of interesting channels, as well as additional services, which can be found on the Rostelecom website.

One of them is Multiroom. This is a service thanks to which you can watch programs on several TVs at once. The Mulscreen service allows you to enjoy gorgeous broadcast quality on your laptop or phone. In order to enjoy all these benefits, when signing a contract, the client receives - usually in installments - rather expensive equipment: a video sender and a set-top box.

The installment plan is most often provided for 36 months. If the client refuses the services of Rostelecom earlier than this period, he, accordingly, will have to pay the remaining amount in full. If the listed equipment was rented, you just need to pay for using it in the current month.

Termination of the contract by telephone

Now almost everyone uses mobile communications. Accordingly, the need for a home landline phone is gradually disappearing, and many Rostelecom customers decide to turn it off. To do this, call the technical support of the company and voice your request to the operator.

Almost certainly the manager will immediately offer an economy tariff from Rostelecom. With its help, you can significantly reduce costs and thus not turn off your home phone. Doesn't that suit you too? Then check if there are any debts on your account. If there is a debt, settle with the company using a bank card and demand that the phone be disconnected.

List of documents required for termination of the contract

The previously downloaded and completed application form for termination of the contract must be printed out and taken to the office of the company. The following documents should be attached to it:

  • passport;
  • certificate of ownership of the apartment (along with a photocopy of this document);
  • sales contract, if the property was purchased by you (+ copy);
  • the actual agreement with Rostelecom.

You can choose the nearest office of the company in the list of Rostelecom branches. Be sure to call the manager before your visit. Find out if this office accepts applications for termination of contracts (some may not get this service).

If the company's representative office accepts applications, but for some reason they refused you, be sure to find out the reason. By law, the client must fulfill all the terms of the contract. The agreement can then be terminated. Perhaps a representative of Rostelecom will point out just at this moment.

If there are no legal obstacles, and you still don’t want to accept your application, complain to the management of the company in your city. Send a certified letter to the central office and state in detail the essence of your problem.

Attention! If you stop paying for the phone or the Internet, the contract with the service provider is not automatically canceled! But your debts continue to grow, which will very soon lead to the need to closely and extremely unpleasantly communicate with collectors.

Do not be lazy, write a statement and properly terminate your relationship with Rostelecom! Also, do not forget: you can temporarily disable the service if you plan to leave for a long time. Upon return, it can be reconnected under the same conditions.


When connecting to the Internet, television or telephone communication between the consumer and Rostelecom, an appropriate service agreement is concluded, the content of which spells out the terms of these legal relations. It is not uncommon for one of the representatives of the specified contractual relationship to terminate further cooperation and initiate the process of terminating the contract. Often the consumer wishes to cancel the contract. For this, an appropriate application is drawn up, in the content of which the desire to terminate the contract is indicated.

If the client wishes to terminate further cooperation with Rostelecom, the client may encounter some difficulties, due to the fact that the company has recently put forward its own conditions, which complicate the process of terminating the contract.

It's important to know...

Reasons for terminating the agreement with Rostelecom

In order to prematurely terminate the contract with Rostelecom, the user of telephone communication, Internet or television must provide compelling reasons for terminating the contract.

Legal grounds for terminating the contract:

  • Internet speed does not correspond to that specified in the content of the concluded contract with Rostelecom;
  • If the quality of telephone communication is worse than that specified in the contract;
  • The quality of the television provided by Rostelecom does not correspond to that specified in the content of the contract;
  • Frequent breakdowns or problems occur that are resolved over a long period of time;
  • The tariff differs from that which is spelled out in the content of the signed document;
  • Rostelecom's competitors offer more favorable conditions that the consumer wants to take advantage of.

The procedure for terminating the agreement with Rostelecom

According to the article numbered, every citizen has the right to refuse the services provided. He has the right to do this at any time. The main condition for terminating the agreement is the existence of legal grounds and the absence of debts to the company for the work already done. If necessary, the subscriber is obliged to compensate the monetary losses incurred by the service provider. In addition, the consumer must adhere to a certain order of actions, which is regulated by the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation.

Procedure for terminating an agreement with Rostelecom:

  1. Based on the information provided, the first thing to do in order for the contract to be canceled without problems is to pay off existing debts. Next, you need to collect a certain package of documents;
  2. After the necessary documents have been collected, the initiator of the termination is required to go to the Rostelecom office and fill out an application. The appeal is drawn up on a special form, which the client must receive from the specialist of the service center. It is required to note that it is possible to draw up the submitted application in advance. To do this, the initiator of the termination of the agreement with Rostelecom needs to go to the official website of the company and download the application form. It is recommended to avoid third-party web resources, as they may have not up-to-date application forms;
  3. At the next stage, the consumer must return to Rostelecom employees the equipment that was transferred when the contract was concluded. The presented step is relevant in situations where a router, set-top box or other equipment is leased from a company. If the client uses his own equipment or purchased it from Rostelecom, then it is necessary to proceed to the next stage;
  4. Payment of the invoice received from the company.

Only the person whose data is specified in the content of the contract has the right to initiate the process of terminating the agreement with Rostelecom for the Internet, television or telephone communications.

However, the following situations are not uncommon:

  • The subscriber does not have the opportunity to personally contact the company with a request to terminate further cooperation. The reason for this may be the employment of the consumer or the fact that he lives far from the branch of Rostelecom;
  • Death of the subscriber.

In the first situation, it is possible to send documents using postal services. In order not to lose the originals of documents during shipment, it is recommended to make copies certified by a notary office. However, in the situation presented, the initiator of the termination of the contract with Rostelecom will need to wait longer for a response. Based on the specified information, if the consumer has the opportunity to personally bring documents to the branch of the company, then it is recommended to do just that.

Another way to terminate the agreement with Rostelecom is to engage a third party. To do this, the subscriber must first issue a power of attorney for an attorney. The document must be certified by a notary office.

If the consumer who has entered into an agreement with Rostelecom has died, then in order to initiate the process of terminating the contract in this case, the subscriber's relatives must contact the company's branch with an application and the necessary package of documents.

If the contract is lost

In the presented case, the user of the Internet, television or telephone should contact the office of the company with which the contract was concluded and report its loss. The issue is easy to solve, since Rostelecom employees have the opportunity to find the concluded agreement in the company's database. This is done using the client's passport data. The contract is then printed out and handed over to the client. If there is a copy of the agreement and grounds for termination of the contract, the subscriber has the right to submit an application for termination.

If the contract is concluded for a third party

The procedure for terminating the agreement concluded with Rostelecom for the Internet, television or home telephone should take place with the personal participation of both parties to the contractual relationship. This means that the person whose data is included in the content of the contract must personally apply to the company with a request to initiate the termination of the contract. If the represented participant in legal relations is not able to personally go to the Rostelecom office, then he needs to issue a power of attorney in the name of the consumer, having assured it in a notary office.


In addition to the power of attorney issued in the name of the attorney, he must have with him a copy of the passport of the person whose data is written in the content of the contract, as well as his passport. The list of other documents does not differ from the package of documents that are required to be provided to Rostelecom employees in a standard situation.
It is important to note that the person who is sent to the Rostelecom office with the intention of initiating the termination of the contract will have to pay off the debt, if any, and not the person whose data is specified in the contract. Based on this, it is recommended to pay off all debts in advance and check that the equipment provided by the company when signing the contract is paid.

To home phone

To refuse home telephone services, a client who has entered into an agreement with Rostelecom is obliged to take a standard service document and go to the company's office.

If the contract cannot be found, since it was signed long ago, then you should remember in whose name it was issued. Only the person with whom Rostelecom has entered into a service document has the right to initiate the termination process. On his behalf, an application is required to turn off the home phone. If the person represented for some reason cannot do this personally, then it is possible to draw up a written power of attorney for another person, which will initiate the procedure for terminating the contract with Rostelecom. The document must be certified by a notary. Duplicates of both passports - the authorized person and the owner of the contract - are attached to the application.

On the internet

Upon termination of the agreement with Rostelecom on the Internet, the procedure is similar to that which was spelled out in the previous paragraph. Before going to the company's office with a statement about the termination of further cooperation, the initiator of the termination is required to pay off all debts to Rostelecom, if any. Otherwise, penalties will be imposed, which must be paid additionally.

On the Internet and cable TV

In a situation where an agreement with Rostelecom was issued for the provision of cable television and the Internet, the procedure for terminating the contract is more complicated.
When concluding a contract, in addition to a package of Internet services, Rostelecom employees offer the consumer to rent equipment from them, which is fully compatible with the provider's transmission lines. In addition, the company's employees impose a fine for early termination of the contract, which is equal to 500 rubles. For the use of the leased equipment, it is required to pay a rent or fully redeem it - this depends on the conditions specified in the content of the agreement.

In the presented case, there may be a fraudulent scheme, which is why the client is advised to carefully read the document before signing!

The content of the standard agreement for the use of the equipment by the consumer states that the subscriber has the right to sell it to Rostelecom until its full cost has been paid off. However, it is not profitable for the employees of the company to accept the equipment, even if it is working properly. To do this, they refer to an internal order that does not allow them to terminate the contract on favorable terms for the client.

What should a subscriber do in order not to redeem the equipment upon termination of the contract?

  1. First, you need to file a formal claim, which is sent to the CEO of Rostelecom. The complaint must be compiled in 2 copies, one of which remains with the subscriber. On the specified document, the client should receive the signature of an authorized person of the company, which confirms that the second copy has been received;
  2. In the text of the complaint, special attention is paid to the fact that the employee of Rostelecom refuses to accept the equipment, referring to the internal order of the company and that this contradicts the rights of the consumer;
  3. The period of time is indicated during which Rostelecom employees must consider the claim. After the expiration of the allotted period, the subscriber has the right to apply to the court to protect his interests;
  4. At the end, the date of drawing up the claim is noted, and the subscriber's signature is also put.

Often, after these actions, the employee of the company changes his point of view and agrees to terminate the contract after renting out the equipment leased out. It is required to hand over the equipment in order not to pay rent for it in the future.

Required documents for termination of the contract

When contacting the Rostelecom office with a request to terminate the agreement, the subscriber must have a certain package of documents with him.

Documentation list:

  • Original passport of the initiator of termination;
  • A copy of the communication services contract concluded with Rostelecom (if there is no agreement, then it is possible to do without it. This is due to the fact that another copy is in the company's archives);
  • An act confirming that the subscriber has received equipment for rent from the provider (acceptance certificate). The submitted document is issued to the client when he purchases equipment from Rostelecom or leases it;
  • Documents for the equipment that is prescribed in the act (this item is mandatory for those customers who, when concluding contracts, received a set-top box or routers for rent from the provider);
  • Power of attorney certified by a notary. The submitted document is required if the interests of the subscriber are represented by another person.

Upon termination of the contract, the equipment must be returned to Rostelecom if the content of the contract indicates that it was leased to the subscriber. Its non-refund will lead to the fact that the client will continue to receive monthly bills, the size of which will be larger than the previous ones, although the company will no longer provide services.
