Cancel Trustcheck: The Right Way
How to cancel TrustCheck in south africa and recover your money
What is TrustCheck and why you might want to cancel
TrustCheck is a subscription-based app designed to help you scan and monitor your active subscriptions and services. The platform offers a limited number of free scans, then encourages you to upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited access.
If you've signed up and realised the service doesn't match your needs, or you've found a better alternative, cancelling is straightforward. At Stopee, we understand that subscription fatigue is real, and we're here to walk you through every step of getting out of this commitment without hassle.
Why people cancel TrustCheck
Common reasons include discovering you don't need unlimited scans, finding the interface confusing, or simply wanting to reduce monthly expenses. Whatever your reason, you have consumer protections in South Africa that work in your favour.
The good news about cancelling
TrustCheck lets you cancel via multiple channels: your app store account, Google Play, or directly through their web support. You remain in control, and your subscription won't auto-renew after you take action. Stopee has helped thousands of users navigate similar cancellations, and this guide puts you on the fastest path forward.
Your consumer rights in south africa
Before you cancel, know what South African law guarantees you.
The consumer protection act and your cooling-off period
The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) gives you powerful protections. For online purchases, you typically have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you conclude the agreement. This means you can cancel and request a full refund without penalty or explanation, provided the service hasn't been substantially used.
Digital services fall under this protection if the vendor hasn't already provided the service in full. Since TrustCheck is a subscription platform accessed through your device, you have solid grounds to request a refund within 14 days of first payment if the service doesn't meet your expectations.
What happens if TrustCheck refuses
If TrustCheck or the app store denies your refund request unreasonably, you can escalate to the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC investigates complaints about unfair contract terms and non-compliance with the CPA. Document your cancellation request and any refusal in writing, then submit a complaint with supporting evidence.
Pro tip: Keep screenshots of your subscription confirmation, cancellation request, and any response denying your refund. These are your evidence if you need to escalate to consumer protection authorities.
How to cancel TrustCheck on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed through Apple's App Store, this is your cancellation path.
Step-by-step cancellation via app store
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions (you may see "Media & Purchases" first; tap it, then "Subscriptions").
- Find TrustCheck in your active subscriptions list.
- If you see multiple entries, tap the one labelled TrustCheck.
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Apple will ask you to confirm; read the message and select the final confirmation button.
- Confirm your cancellation by following Apple's on-screen prompt.
- You'll see a notification: "Subscription cancelled." Your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle.
What happens after you cancel on app store
Your subscription remains active and charged through the end of the current billing period. You lose access to unlimited scans once that period expires. Apple does not automatically refund the current billing period unless you request one within 14 days.
Pro tip: If you're within 14 days of your purchase, tap "Report a Problem" next to TrustCheck in your Subscriptions list and request a refund. Apple approves most refund requests for subscription cancellations within this window.
How to cancel TrustCheck on android (Google play)
Android users follow a slightly different path through Google Play Store.
Step-by-step cancellation via google play
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon (top right corner).
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Locate and tap TrustCheck from your active subscriptions.
- If you don't see it immediately, scroll through the list or use the search function.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google will present you with retention offers; ignore these and proceed to cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation on the final screen.
- You'll receive a confirmation message. Your paid access continues until the next billing date.
What to expect after cancellation on google play
Google Play stops the automatic renewal immediately. Your service access ends on the next scheduled billing date, not right away. You keep all paid features until that date arrives.
How to cancel TrustCheck directly via web support
If you prefer to contact the company directly or encounter problems with app store cancellation, TrustCheck web support is your next option.
Contacting TrustCheck support
You can request cancellation through TrustCheck's web platform or support contact methods. Refer to their Terms of Service for the most up-to-date support email or contact form. When you contact them, state clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my TrustCheck subscription effective today" and provide your account email address.
Warning: Support responses may take 48 to 72 hours. If you need immediate cancellation and a refund, always cancel via your app store first and then file a refund request separately. Don't rely solely on direct contact if you're within the 14-day refund window.
What to include in your cancellation request
- Your registered email address.
- Your subscription account number (if visible in your TrustCheck account).
- The subscription plan you're cancelling (e.g., "Unlimited access monthly plan").
- A clear request: "Please cancel my subscription effective immediately and process a refund if applicable."
TrustCheck pricing in south africa
Understanding what you're paying helps you decide whether cancellation makes financial sense.
Current subscription plans
| Plan name | Price (USD) | Estimated ZAR | Billing cycle | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Free | Free | Ongoing | 4 free scans per month; limited features |
| Unlimited access | USD $3.99 | ~R72-R80 | Monthly | Unlimited scans; full feature access; auto-renewal |
How south african currency conversion works
TrustCheck charges in US dollars (USD). Your bank or payment provider converts this to South African Rand (ZAR) at the current exchange rate. At today's typical rates, USD $3.99 converts to approximately R72-R80 per month, but this fluctuates daily.
Pro tip: Check your bank statement to see the exact ZAR amount you've been charged. If it's consistently higher than the USD rate suggests, your payment provider may be adding a currency conversion fee. Document these charges; they support a refund claim if TrustCheck fails to deliver value.
Refunds: what you can claim and how
Refund eligibility depends on how you paid and when you're requesting the refund.
Refunds through apple app store
Apple handles refunds for subscriptions purchased via App Store. You have 14 days from the billing date to request a refund without explanation. After 14 days, Apple may still refund if you can demonstrate the service was faulty, unavailable, or didn't work as described.
To request an App Store refund, go to Settings > Your Name > Media & Purchases > Purchase History, find TrustCheck, tap "Report a Problem," and select your reason.
Refunds through google play
Google Play grants refunds within 48 hours of purchase. After this window closes, you must contact Google Play support and provide evidence that TrustCheck failed to perform or was substantially unavailable.
Request a refund in Google Play by opening the app, finding your subscription, tapping the three dots, and selecting "Request refund." Explain your reason clearly.
Direct refunds from TrustCheck
TrustCheck offers direct refunds in limited situations only:
- The service is completely non-functional or unavailable.
- You were charged multiple times for the same subscription period (duplicate billing).
- You have legitimate grounds under South African consumer law (within 14 days of purchase or proof of material failure).
Important: TrustCheck does not refund partial months or unused portions of your billing cycle under their standard Terms of Service. Your best refund path remains the app store or invoking consumer protection law.
What happens after you cancel TrustCheck
Cancellation brings a transition period; here's exactly what changes.
Your access during the grace period
Once you cancel, your subscription remains active and fully functional until the end of your current billing period. You can continue using unlimited scans, all features remain unlocked, and nothing changes immediately. You do not lose access mid-month.
What happens at the end of your billing period
When your billing period expires, automatic renewal stops. Your account automatically downgrades to the free tier, which includes 4 free scans per month but no unlimited access. Paid features become unavailable.
Data and account status
Your account data and scan history typically remain in your account. However, you should export any important scan results or reports before the downgrade occurs. Login to TrustCheck and download or save anything you need; policies vary, and data retention isn't guaranteed indefinitely.
Pro tip: Screenshot your scan results and download any reports or documents TrustCheck provides. Once your account downgrades, you may lose access to features needed to export historical data.
Common mistakes when cancelling TrustCheck
Cancellation is simple, but a few missteps can delay refunds or leave you locked in longer than necessary.
Mistake 1: cancelling the app instead of the subscription
Deleting the TrustCheck app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The auto-renewal continues, and you're charged as usual. You must cancel through Settings (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) or contact support directly. Stopee reminds users constantly: deleting the app is not cancellation.
Mistake 2: missing the 14-day refund window
South African consumer law gives you 14 days to request a refund. After this period, refunds become significantly harder to claim, though not impossible if the service failed to perform. Mark your calendar; don't wait.
Mistake 3: not requesting a refund if charged after cancellation
If TrustCheck auto-renews and charges you after you've already cancelled, contact your app store immediately. This is a billing error, and you have strong grounds for a refund. Don't assume it's intentional; sometimes sync delays cause double-charges.
Mistake 4: ignoring your billing statements
Check your bank or payment app monthly to confirm the charges have stopped. If you cancelled but continue seeing TrustCheck charges, escalate to both the app store and TrustCheck support simultaneously.
How to decide: should you cancel TrustCheck
Before you act, honestly assess whether cancellation suits your situation.
Reasons to keep TrustCheck
- You actively use unlimited scans to monitor multiple subscriptions.
- You value the peace of mind of tracking forgotten or dormant services.
- At R72-R80 monthly, the cost is negligible relative to your overall budget.
- You haven't yet found a free alternative that covers your needs.
Reasons to cancel immediately
- You rarely or never launch the app and don't actively monitor subscriptions.
- The 4 free scans per month satisfy your needs; you don't need unlimited access.
- You've found a cheaper or superior alternative (Stopee can help you compare).
- You're within 14 days of sign-up and unhappy with the experience.
- You're experiencing financial hardship and cutting non-essential expenses.
