Your account will be charged a late fee for each disc that is not returned.

How long does Lovefilm keep my data after I delete my account?

Lovefilm states a data retention period of 7 years after account deletion. Back-ups and statutory records can fall outside that figure, so request written confirmation from support if you need certainty.
