How to cancel Clearcheck Ai subscription in malaysia and avoid surprise charges

What Clearcheck Ai is and why you might want to leave

Clearcheck Ai is a software subscription service that automates background checks and identity screening for professionals and businesses across Malaysia. You subscribe to access recurring credits, AI-powered search tools, and specialized screening reports on a monthly billing cycle. The service also allows you to purchase extra credits separately when your monthly allowance runs low, which means you may face two different types of charges on your card statement.

Many Malaysian users sign up because they need quick identity verification or background screening without manual research. The real problem appears when you want to stop: Clearcheck Ai does not clearly publish key subscription terms like auto-renewal rules, refund policies, or data retention after cancellation. This lack of transparency is exactly why Stopee exists to guide you through the process safely.

The subscription model and what you are actually paying for

Your monthly fee gives you access to a set number of credits that reset each billing cycle, plus AI-assisted search and report generation. If you exhaust your credits before the month ends, you can buy Top-Up credits at additional cost. This dual-charge structure matters for cancellation because you may need to address both your recurring subscription and any pending one-time purchases.

For Malaysian subscribers, pricing is quoted in US dollars on the company's legal pages, not in ringgit. Based on current conversion rates (approximately 1 USD = 4.72 MYR), the Standard plan costs around RM1,416 per month, and the Premium plan runs to approximately RM4,720 per month. That cost difference makes it essential to cancel on time if the service no longer serves your needs.

Support channels available to malaysian users

Clearcheck Ai offers limited support infrastructure for a paid software product. You can access their help center at the official website, send emails to [email protected], but there is no published live chat, no phone number, and no stated support hours. This means email becomes your primary cancellation method, which makes written documentation even more important.

Stopee recommends always using the email channel for cancellation requests because you generate a permanent written record. A phone call leaves no evidence if a charge appears after cancellation, and you will have no proof that you requested to stop your subscription.

Malaysian consumer rights under the consumer protection act 1999

Your cancellation rights in Malaysia are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which gives you specific legal leverage if Clearcheck Ai refuses to stop charging you. Understanding these rights transforms you from a customer asking for permission into a consumer enforcing your legal protections.

Your statutory right to cancel within a cooling-off period

The Consumer Protection Act 1999 grants you a cooling-off period for distance contracts, which includes digital services purchased online. For subscription services, this period typically lasts 14 days from the contract date or the date you received notice of the contract terms, whichever is later. If you cancel within this window, you are entitled to a full refund without penalty, provided you do not substantially use the service.

In practice, "substantially use" means light testing or exploration, not regular reliance. If you signed up on day one and cancelled on day 7 having run only a few searches, you have a strong refund claim. If you have been using the service consistently for months, your cooling-off right has expired and refunds become discretionary.

Unfair contract terms and transparency requirements

The Consumer Protection Act 1999 also protects you against unfair contract terms. If Clearcheck Ai's subscription agreement includes clauses that are unreasonably weighted in their favour (such as charging you after cancellation without clear notice, or refusing to process cancellations sent via email), those terms may be unenforceable. Stopee advises documenting every term you can find, because vague or missing terms can actually work in your favour when disputing charges.

The law also requires businesses to provide clear information about subscription terms before you commit. Clearcheck Ai's failure to publish auto-renewal details, refund policies, and data retention procedures on their legal page is itself a potential breach of transparency requirements. This weakness becomes your negotiating position if they resist your cancellation.

Pricing structure and what you are paying monthly

Understanding your exact charges makes cancellation clearer and faster.

Your actual statement may show two separate charges: one for your subscription, and another for any Top-Up credits you purchased. When you cancel, confirm that both charges stop, not just the main subscription.

How to cancel Clearcheck Ai without getting charged again

Follow these steps in order to protect yourself from accidental renewal charges and ensure your cancellation is processed correctly.

Preparation steps before you request cancellation

Many customers feel frustrated when they cancel but discover a charge appears anyway. The reason is usually incomplete documentation or a missed step. Before you send any cancellation request, gather evidence of your account and billing status.

1. Log into your Clearcheck Ai account immediately
   • Screenshot your account dashboard showing your username and email
   • Take a photo of your active plan name and subscription status
2. Navigate to your billing section
   • Screenshot the next billing date
   • Note the last four digits of your payment card (if visible)
   • Save your most recent invoice or statement entry
3. Review any outstanding purchases or credits
   • Check if you purchased Top-Up credits recently
   • Note any one-time report purchases that may generate separate charges
4. Export your data before proceeding
   • Download any reports or screening results you need to keep
   • Save copies of any searches or checks you ran
   • Take notes on any findings or results still needed
5. Store all evidence in one location
   • Create a folder on your computer for all screenshots
   • Keep your email and any account IDs in a text file
   • Write down the exact date and time you took these screenshots

Pro tip: Clearcheck Ai's terms do not specify what happens to your data after cancellation. Some services delete inactive accounts immediately; others retain data for months. If you think you may need any information later, export it now before you cancel. Once your account is closed, access may disappear within hours.

Cancellation via your account portal

The official Clearcheck Ai website does not publish a specific in-account cancellation path (such as Settings > Subscription > Cancel). This means the company expects you to use email support, not a self-service portal. However, it is worth checking your account first in case a cancel option exists in a Billing, Subscription, or Account Management area.

1. Log into your Clearcheck Ai account at the main website
2. Look for a Billing, Account Settings, Subscription, or My Plan section
3. Search for text that says Cancel, Pause Subscription, or Manage Plan
4. If you find a cancel button:
   • Click it and follow the on-screen instructions
   • Screenshot the confirmation page or message
   • Wait for an automatic confirmation email (check spam folder)
   • Follow step four below to send a backup cancellation email
5. If you find no cancel button:
   • Proceed directly to email cancellation (next section)
   • Do not spend more than 5 minutes searching

Warning: Do not try to cancel by simply removing your payment card from your account or changing your billing information. This does not cancel your subscription in most cases. Clearcheck Ai may show your card as invalid but still send you a cancellation reminder email asking for updated payment details. Always send an explicit cancellation email.

Cancellation via email to support

Email is your strongest cancellation method because you create a dated record that proves you requested to stop your subscription. This evidence protects you if a charge appears after your cancellation date.

1. Open your email client and create a new message to [email protected]
2. Use a clear subject line
   • Example: "Subscription Cancellation Request - Account [Your Email Address]"
   • Avoid vague subjects like "Help" or "Question"
3. Write a direct cancellation message with this information:
   • Your full name (as it appears on the account)
   • Your account email address
   • Your account ID or subscription ID (if visible in your portal)
   • The current billing date or next renewal date
   • The exact amount of your monthly charge
   • A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription effective [date]. Please confirm that no further charges will occur after this date."
4. Use this template as your starting point:
   • "Hello, I am cancelling my Clearcheck Ai subscription effective immediately. My account email is [your email], and my next billing date is [date]. The monthly charge is [amount]. Please confirm by reply email that my subscription has been cancelled and no further charges will occur. Thank you."
5. Send the email and wait for a reply
   • Send it on a weekday morning (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm) for fastest response
   • Clearcheck Ai should reply within 2 to 3 business days
   • Save the confirmation email in a dedicated folder
6. If you do not receive a reply within 5 business days:
   • Send a follow-up email with "[URGENT] Cancellation Confirmation Needed"
   • Include copies of your first email and all screenshots
   • State the date you originally requested cancellation

Pro tip: Stopee recommends sending your cancellation email from the same email address that is linked to your Clearcheck Ai account. This removes any doubt about whether you are the account holder. If you use a different email, include extra identification details like the last four digits of your card or the date you signed up.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation is not instant, and understanding the timeline helps you spot any errors.

Immediate changes after cancellation

Once you receive a cancellation confirmation email from Clearcheck Ai, your account access typically stops within 24 hours. You may lose the ability to log in, run new searches, or download reports. Any remaining monthly credits expire and are not refunded (unless you are within the 14-day cooling-off period). Data retention depends on the company's internal policy, which they do not clearly publish, so assume your account and all associated records may be deleted within 30 to 90 days.

Checking your bank statement after cancellation

After you cancel, monitor your bank or card statement for the next two billing cycles. A charge should not appear if your cancellation was processed correctly. If a charge does appear:

1. Check the date of the charge against your cancellation date
2. If the charge is dated before your cancellation was confirmed, it is likely a scheduled charge you cannot stop (contact your bank to confirm)
3. If the charge is dated after your cancellation confirmation, this is unauthorized
   • Contact Clearcheck Ai support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email
   • Request a refund in writing
   • If they refuse, contact your bank to dispute the charge

Warning: Do not wait weeks to check your statement. Monitor your account closely for at least 60 days after cancellation. If you spot an unauthorized charge late, you still have recourse under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, but acting quickly strengthens your case.

Refund policy and your rights to money back

Clearcheck Ai does not publish a standard refund policy on its public pages, which is a red flag under Malaysian consumer law. Your refund entitlements depend on when you cancel relative to your subscription start date.

Refund rights within the cooling-off period

If you cancel within 14 days of signing up or 14 days of receiving clear contract terms, whichever is later, you have a legal right to a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. You do not need Clearcheck Ai's permission; the law grants this right automatically. To claim it, send an email to [email protected] stating:

"I am exercising my right to cancel under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 within the cooling-off period. I purchased this subscription on [date], and I am cancelling on [date], which is within 14 days. I request a full refund of [amount] to my original payment method."

Clearcheck Ai must refund you within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. If they refuse, contact the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) for escalation.

Refund rights after the cooling-off period

If you cancel after 14 days, you no longer have an automatic legal right to a refund for the subscription fee itself. However, you may still claim a refund for:

• Any Top-Up credits you purchased but did not use (one-time purchases may have different rules)
• Any monthly charges that occur after your cancellation confirmation email
• Any portion of your current month's fee if Clearcheck Ai's terms allow pro-rata refunds (which they do not clearly state)

Pro tip: Even outside the cooling-off period, Stopee has seen customers successfully negotiate refunds by citing Clearcheck Ai's lack of published refund terms. When a contract is unclear, Malaysian courts often rule in favour of the consumer. Request a refund politely but firmly, referencing the lack of transparency in their terms.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

These are the errors that most commonly trap customers into unwanted charges after they think they have cancelled.

Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong channel

Contacting Clearcheck Ai via social media, their website contact form, or a general inquiry email does not guarantee your cancellation reaches the billing team. Always use the official support email address: [email protected]. A message intended for general support may sit in an overflow queue while your next charge processes.

Mistake 2: not requesting written confirmation

If you call support or use a chat tool, always ask for a confirmation email. Without a written record, you have no proof you cancelled, and Clearcheck Ai can claim they never received a cancellation request if a charge appears. Email is your safety net.

Mistake 3: removing your payment card instead of cancelling

Many users assume that deleting their card will stop charges. It does not. Clearcheck Ai will send you emails asking for updated payment information. Your subscription remains active in their system until you explicitly cancel it. This tactic only delays the problem.

Mistake 4: not checking for Top-Up credit charges

Your cancellation stops your monthly subscription, but any separate Top-Up credit purchases may continue to charge independently. Check your account for outstanding credit purchases and request that those be cancelled separately if needed.

Mistake 5: cancelling days before your billing date

Timing matters. If your billing date is on the 20th and you cancel on the 18th, a charge may still process before your cancellation is fully confirmed. Aim to cancel at least 5 to 7 days before your next billing date whenever possible.

After you have cancelled: what to do next

Cancellation is complete, but your financial and legal protection does not stop there.

Protecting yourself from surprise charges

Keep all cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots, and bank statements for at least one year. If an unauthorized charge appears, you will need this evidence to dispute it with your bank or escalate to the MDTCA. Do not delete cancellation emails or assume the issue is resolved just because you received a confirmation.

Escalation if charges continue

If Clearcheck Ai continues to charge you after a confirmed cancellation:

1. Contact your bank immediately and explain the unauthorized charge
2. Request a chargeback for all post-cancellation charges
3. Provide your bank with your cancellation confirmation email and any evidence
4. If your bank is slow to act, lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs
   • Visit the MDTCA website or call their consumer hotline
   • File a formal complaint citing the Consumer Protection Act 1999
   • Include all email correspondence and billing evidence

Pro tip: Keep copies of your complaint to the MDTCA. Government escalation carries significant weight and often prompts companies to resolve disputes faster than private negotiation.

Checklist before and after cancellation

Use this checklist to ensure you have covered every step and protected your rights.

Why you might want to keep your Clearcheck Ai subscription

Cancellation is not always the right choice. Consider whether you should keep your subscription by weighing these factors.

Reasons to stay subscribed

If you run regular background checks or identity screenings as part of your job, hiring process, or due diligence, Clearcheck Ai saves you hours of manual research. The Standard plan at RM1,416 per month is steep, but the time savings may justify the cost if you process multiple checks weekly. The Premium plan makes sense only if you need advanced reports or priority support for time-sensitive cases.

If you signed up fewer than 14 days ago and have not yet used the service significantly, cancellation may leave you out of pocket unnecessarily. Test the service fully first, then decide.

Reasons to cancel

Cancel if the monthly cost no longer fits your budget, if you have found a cheaper alternative, or if the service does not deliver the accuracy or speed you expected. Cancel if you signed up on trial, tested it, and found it unsuitable. Cancel if you are being charged for Top-Up credits you never authorized. Cancel if support is unresponsive or the service reliability has dropped.

Most importantly, cancel if your business model has changed and you no longer need regular background checks. Continuing to pay for a service you use once every six months wastes money that could be better spent elsewhere.

Contact information for Clearcheck Ai support and escalation

Here are all the ways to reach Clearcheck Ai and Malaysian consumer authorities if you need help.

Pro tip: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs is your government escalation point. If Clearcheck Ai ignores your cancellation or wrongfully charges you after cancellation, they have authority to investigate and compel refunds. Do not hesitate to escalate if Clearcheck Ai does not respond within 5 business days.

Final summary: how stopee can help you

Cancelling Clearcheck Ai does not have to be a frustrating experience if you follow the right steps in the right order. Start by gathering evidence of your account status, then send a clear email to [email protected] that documents exactly what you are requesting. Monitor your bank statement afterward, and escalate to your bank or the MDTCA if a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date.

Remember that the Consumer Protection Act 1999 is on your side. Clearcheck Ai's failure to clearly publish their cancellation process, refund policy, and data retention terms is itself a breach of the law. You have stronger negotiating power than you may realize, especially if you are cancelling within 14 days or if charges continue after cancellation.
