How to cancel Truestvpn in malaysia and stop recurring charges

Understanding what you are paying for with Truestvpn

Truestvpn is a paid VPN subscription service that encrypts your internet connection, routes your traffic through remote servers, and helps you access content that may be blocked by geography. You are not buying a physical product or one-time service. You are signing up for recurring monthly or annual billing that renews automatically unless you actively stop it.

What Truestvpn actually covers in your subscription

The service offers premium server access, high-speed connections, and enhanced security tools across all paid plans. Whether you choose the 1-month plan at RM54.00, the 3-month plan at RM135.67, the 6-month plan at RM180.91, or the 12-month plan at RM271.00, your money goes toward server infrastructure and privacy features, not physical items you can return.

This matters for cancellation because stopping your subscription means stopping future charges, not requesting a shipment refund. The annual plan appears cheaper per month (roughly RM22.58 when divided across 12 months), but only if you genuinely use the VPN for the full year. Most Malaysian users find that they change their needs or forget they are paying monthly, which is exactly why understanding cancellation matters now.

How Truestvpn operates for malaysian customers

Truestvpn operates with limited transparency for Malaysian users. The company publishes a support email address at [email protected], but no Malaysia-specific physical address has been registered publicly. Support hours are not stated, no phone line is advertised, and the company does not clearly explain whether it honours cooling-off periods or free trials under Malaysian consumer law.

This lack of clarity is frustrating and is precisely why you need a written record of every cancellation attempt. Stopee has tracked many cases where users reported continued billing even after requesting cancellation, so document everything you do from this moment forward.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Truestvpn in malaysia

Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) protects you when you cancel digital services like Truestvpn, even though the company does not advertise this prominently.

What the consumer protection act 1999 says about subscriptions

Under the CPA 1999, you have the right to cancel distance contracts (including online subscriptions) within 14 calendar days of signing up, without penalty or reason. The company must refund you fully within 14 days of your cancellation notice. If Truestvpn charges you after you have cancelled, or refuses to refund within this period, you can lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP).

After the initial 14-day window, you still have rights. If Truestvpn's terms are unfair, hidden, or misleading-for example, if the renewal date is buried in small print or auto-renewal is not clearly confirmed-the CPA 1999 allows you to challenge the charge or seek a refund through KPDNHEP or the small claims court. Stopee recommends keeping all email confirmations, screenshots of billing screens, and payment records to prove you tried to cancel.

When to contact the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs

If you cancel Truestvpn using the methods below and the company continues to bill you, or if they refuse to refund after 14 days, escalate to KPDNHEP. You can lodge a complaint online at kpdnhep.gov.my or call 1800-886-800. The ministry has authority to force refunds and fine companies that breach the CPA 1999.

Pricing breakdown for Truestvpn plans in malaysia

Before you cancel, confirm which plan you are on so you know exactly when your next charge will hit.

Pro tip: Write down the exact date you signed up. Your renewal date will be 1, 3, 6, or 12 months from that date. Cancel at least 2 days before that date to avoid another charge.

How to cancel Truestvpn step by step

Truestvpn does not publish a clear cancellation path on its website, so you will need to navigate your account manually or contact support by email. Here are the methods that work.

Method 1: cancel through your Truestvpn account online

1. Go to truestvpn.com and sign in with your email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link and reset it first.
2. Look for your account dashboard or settings area. Standard labels include Account, Billing, Subscription, Manage Plan, or Membership.
   • Take a screenshot of your current billing information before proceeding.
3. Find the subscription management section and look for buttons or links that say Cancel Subscription, Turn Off Auto-Renewal, Pause Subscription, or Manage Billing.
   • Do not click "Log Out" or navigate away until you reach the cancellation confirmation screen.
4. Select the option to cancel and follow the prompts. Truestvpn may ask why you are leaving (select any reason or skip this question).
   • Some services show a discounted "stay" offer at this point. Ignore it unless you genuinely want to keep the subscription at a lower price.
5. You will receive a confirmation message on screen. Take a screenshot immediately.
   • Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message within 5 minutes.
6. Reply to that confirmation email with your own message: "I confirm cancellation of my Truestvpn subscription effective immediately. Please confirm receipt and send my final invoice."
   • This creates a second record that Stopee strongly recommends for disputes.
7. Check your bank or credit card statement in 3-5 business days to confirm no charge appears.
   • If a charge does appear, contact your bank immediately and file a chargeback if needed.

Method 2: cancel through email if the account interface fails

1. Open your email and compose a new message to [email protected].
   • Use a subject line like: "Cancellation request for Truestvpn subscription - [Your email address]"
2. In the email body, include your full name, account email, the plan you are on (RM54.00 monthly, RM135.67 for 3 months, etc.), your sign-up date, and your current renewal date.
   • Example: "I signed up for Truestvpn on 15 March 2024 on the RM54.00 monthly plan. My next renewal is 15 April 2024. I request immediate cancellation and confirmation that no further charges will apply."
3. Request a written confirmation of cancellation and a final invoice.
   • Write: "Please confirm in writing that my subscription has been cancelled and that no further charges will be applied to my account or payment method."
4. Send the email and save a copy to a folder labelled "Truestvpn Cancellation" on your computer.
   • Note the exact time you sent it.
5. Wait for a reply. Truestvpn should respond within 48 hours to 5 business days.
   • If you do not receive a reply within 7 business days, send a follow-up email with the subject: "Follow-up: Cancellation request - [Your email address] - URGENT"
6. Once you receive cancellation confirmation by email, take a screenshot and add it to your folder.
   • Monitor your bank statement for the next 14 days. If another charge appears after cancellation confirmation, you have proof of the company's breach.

Method 3: cancel through your payment method if Truestvpn does not respond

1. If Truestvpn ignores your cancellation requests by email or account, contact your bank or credit card provider.
   • Explain that you have requested cancellation but the company is not responding and you want to revoke the recurring payment authority.
2. Ask your bank to either stop the automatic payment (called a "revocation of mandate" or "stop payment") or to monitor for unauthorized charges.
   • Many banks allow you to cancel recurring payments online or by phone within minutes.
3. If a charge does appear after you have revoked the mandate, file a dispute or chargeback with your bank immediately.
   • Your bank will investigate and may refund you within 30-60 days.

Warning: Stopping payment at the bank level does not formally cancel your account with Truestvpn. You should still pursue Methods 1 or 2 to ensure your account is fully closed. Some companies reactivate subscriptions months later if they find you still have an active account.

What happens after you cancel Truestvpn

Cancellation can feel uncertain because the company does not explain what you should expect next, leaving many Malaysian users anxious about whether the service will actually stop.

Access and billing after cancellation

If you cancel during your paid period, Truestvpn typically allows you to keep using the VPN until your current billing cycle ends. For example, if you are on a monthly plan and you cancel on the 20th of the month, you usually retain access until the end of that month, then lose access on the 1st of the next month. The company does not always state this publicly, so confirm it in your cancellation confirmation email by asking: "Until what date will I retain access to Truestvpn after cancellation?"

No charge should appear on your next renewal date. If it does, you have been overcharged, and Stopee recommends you immediately escalate to your bank and KPDNHEP.

Checking your email and account after cancellation

After cancellation, you may still receive marketing emails from Truestvpn (newsletters, "come back" offers, etc.). These are normal and do not mean your subscription is still active. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails, but this is separate from cancellation.

Log into your Truestvpn account once per month for the next 3 months to confirm it still shows "Cancelled" or "No active subscription." If your account suddenly shows an active plan, contact support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email attached.

Refund rights and how to claim them

Whether you get a refund depends on when you cancel and the reason.

Refund within the 14-day cooling-off period

If you signed up for Truestvpn fewer than 14 days ago and you cancel now, you are entitled to a full refund under the CPA 1999, no questions asked. Email Truestvpn and state: "I am cancelling within the 14-day cooling-off period under Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 and request a full refund to my original payment method. Please process this within 14 days."

Truestvpn must refund you within 14 days of receiving this request. If they do not, file a complaint with KPDNHEP immediately.

Refund after the 14-day period

After 14 days, refunds are not guaranteed just because you want to cancel. However, you may still claim a refund if:

• The service is faulty or does not work as advertised.
• Truestvpn continued charging you after you cancelled.
• The auto-renewal terms were hidden or misleading.
• You were charged without consent.

Email Truestvpn explaining the specific issue and request a refund. If they refuse, escalate to KPDNHEP within 30 days of the charge. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions and recover overcharges by documenting each step-you should do the same.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Truestvpn

Many users become frustrated because they cancel only to discover charges still appear, often because small but crucial steps were skipped.

Mistake 1: cancelling too close to the renewal date

If your renewal date is tomorrow and you cancel today, the system may process both your cancellation and your renewal charge simultaneously, leaving you confused about what actually happened. Cancel at least 2-3 days before your renewal date. Check your account now to find your exact renewal date, then mark it on your phone calendar.

Mistake 2: not confirming cancellation in writing

An on-screen "thank you" message is not proof. An email confirmation from Truestvpn is. If you cancel through the website but receive no email, contact support by email to get written confirmation. Without this, you cannot dispute a charge later.

Mistake 3: confusing "pause" with "cancel"

Some VPN services offer a "pause subscription" option, which temporarily stops charges but does not fully cancel the account. After 1-3 months, charging resumes automatically. If you want to leave permanently, select "cancel," not "pause."

Mistake 4: not checking your bank statement after cancellation

The only way to know if cancellation actually worked is to monitor your bank or credit card statement for 14 days after cancellation. If you see a Truestvpn charge, contact your bank and Stopee recommends you immediately file a dispute or chargeback.

Mistake 5: relying only on phone calls (if you make them)

Truestvpn does not list a phone number, so if you somehow speak to someone verbally, always follow up with an email confirming what was discussed. Verbal cancellation claims without written proof are hard to defend.

When to escalate: stopee guidance on next steps

If you have followed all cancellation methods and Truestvpn still charges you, it is time to escalate beyond the company.

Immediate actions after a charge after cancellation

First, contact your bank or credit card provider within 24 hours of discovering the unauthorized charge. Explain that you cancelled your Truestvpn subscription (provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence) and the charge appeared anyway. Your bank will investigate and typically refund you within 30-60 days while they investigate.

Second, send a formal letter or email to Truestvpn stating the charge is unauthorized and demanding a refund within 7 days. Reference the CPA 1999 and your cancellation confirmation. Keep a copy of this letter for your records.

Filing a complaint with KPDNHEP

If Truestvpn does not refund within 14 days or if multiple charges appear after cancellation, lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs. You can do this online at kpdnhep.gov.my, by calling 1800-886-800, or by visiting a KPDNHEP office in person.

Bring or upload all evidence: your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of charges on your bank statement, proof of your cancellation requests, and any replies from Truestvpn. KPDNHEP has the authority to fine the company and force refunds. Stopee recommends keeping copies of all communications for at least 12 months after cancellation in case you need them later.

Pricing and comparison table for VPN alternatives

If you are cancelling Truestvpn because the cost is too high or the service is not meeting your needs, here are comparable VPN options available in Malaysia.

Pro tip: If you switch to a service with a 30-day money-back guarantee (like NordVPN, ExpressVPN, or ProtonVPN), you can test it risk-free before committing. Stopee recommends this approach if you are unsure about your VPN needs.

Contact details and escalation points

You have several options for getting help if Truestvpn refuses to cooperate.
