To cancel a reoccurring payment in LoanPay:

One-Time Cancellation - Select Edit AutoPay, then click Cancel Scheduled Payment and select Update. Your automatic payment will be cancelled for one occurrence.

Cancel All Reoccurring -  Select Edit AutoPay, then enter the date you'd like reoccurring payments to stop in the Starting field and select On a Specific Date under the End Date Options drop down, and select Update. All payments after your selected end date for that loan will be cancelled.
