How to cancel LawCrossing and stop automatic charges in malaysia
What LawCrossing actually is and why you might want to cancel
LawCrossing is a subscription-based job platform designed specifically for legal professionals. The service aggregates job listings from law firms, in-house counsel teams, government employers, and corporate legal departments, then places these opportunities behind a paid membership wall. Your subscription renews automatically each month unless you cancel before your next billing date, a practice confirmed in the platform's terms of service.
If you are here because you received an unexpected charge, felt pressured into a free trial that converted automatically, or simply found the service does not meet your needs, you are not alone. Many Malaysian users discover that LawCrossing's automatic renewal model means charges continue rolling in unless you take deliberate action to stop them. Unlike one-time purchases, subscription services rely on active cancellation-inaction results in payment.
The paid plans and what they cost in malaysia
LawCrossing operates three main subscription tiers. Pricing is displayed in United States dollars on the platform, but Malaysian users pay in ringgit through their local payment method. The following table shows current pricing converted at official rates:
| Plan |
Annual cost (USD) |
Annual cost (RM) |
Key features |
| Unlimited Essentials |
$244.50 |
RM1,000 |
Core job listings, basic profile |
| Unlimited Plus |
$299.49 |
RM1,225 |
All-access listings, 2,000+ on-demand courses, 20+ live webcasts monthly |
| Premium |
$833.18 |
RM3,408 |
Full suite: courses, ethics credits, state-specific content, priority support |
Beyond job listings, you are paying for access to training modules, live professional development webinars, ethics course credits (valued by some legal bars), and in some cases business growth resources. For someone conducting a short job search or exploring options, these ongoing charges can feel disproportionate very quickly.
How LawCrossing operates for malaysian users
LawCrossing is a United States-based service with no dedicated Malaysian office or local Bahasa Malaysia support. The company is registered in Utah, customer service operates on Pacific Standard Time (PST) hours only, and the platform's terms of service specify California law as the governing jurisdiction. This geographic distance means support calls and emails from Malaysia require you to contact them during PST business hours, which often falls outside standard Malaysian working time.
You will not find Malaysian ringgit listed as a billing currency on the main platform. Instead, the service charges your payment method in USD, and your bank or card issuer handles currency conversion. This creates an additional exchange rate exposure: the amount you see charged may differ slightly from the advertised USD price depending on daily rates.
Your legal position and consumer rights in malaysia
Malaysian consumer protection law gives you specific rights when dealing with subscription services and automatic billing arrangements. Understanding your legal foundation is critical before you contact LawCrossing to cancel, as it shapes what you can demand and how to escalate if the company refuses to cooperate.
Consumer protection under malaysian law
Your primary legal protection comes from the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), Malaysia's flagship consumer protection statute. Under Section 46 of the CPA 1999, traders (including online subscription platforms) must not engage in misleading or deceptive conduct in relation to goods or services. This includes subscription renewal terms.
The law requires that the supplier makes clear, prominent disclosure of the auto-renewal mechanism and the cancellation process before you complete your purchase. If LawCrossing's free trial converts to a paid subscription automatically without crystal-clear notice and an obvious way to cancel, the company may have breached this disclosure duty.
Furthermore, Section 58 of the CPA 1999 addresses unfair contract terms. A term that allows the supplier to renew your subscription indefinitely without your active consent, or that makes cancellation deliberately difficult or obscured, may be deemed unfair and therefore unenforceable against you.
Your legal position: what this means in practice
You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time before your renewal date. The company cannot force you to continue paying. If LawCrossing made it genuinely difficult to find the cancellation option, or if you were not clearly told the trial would auto-renew, you have grounds to dispute charges under the CPA 1999.
You can demand a refund for charges incurred after you requested cancellation, even if the cancellation was processed late. If the company charged you after you submitted a cancellation request, you can report this to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), which enforces the CPA 1999 and investigates complaints against traders who engage in unfair practices.
If LawCrossing refuses to refund unauthorized charges or ignores your cancellation request, the MDTCA can issue a directive requiring the company to compensate you. You can also file a complaint with the MDTCA directly at their online portal (www.kpdnhep.gov.my) or through their consumer helpline.
How to cancel LawCrossing: three methods explained
LawCrossing provides three cancellation pathways. The method you choose depends on your comfort level with online accounts, your time zone, and how urgent the cancellation is. Yafee recommends documenting your cancellation request regardless of which method you use, so you have proof if a dispute arises later.
Method 1: cancel online through your account
This is the fastest and most direct route if you can access your account immediately. Yafee's legal team finds that online cancellation leaves the clearest digital trail-the platform will typically send you a confirmation email, which serves as proof of your cancellation request.
- Log in to your LawCrossing account using your email and password.
- Go to lawcrossing.com and click "Log In"
- Enter your registered email address and password
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section.
- Look for tabs or links labeled "Account", "Membership", "Subscription", "Billing", or "Settings"
- The exact location varies, but subscription management is always in your account dashboard
- Locate the cancellation option and click it.
- You may see a button labeled "Cancel Subscription", "Manage Membership", or "End Membership"
- Some platforms ask you to confirm your reason for leaving; this is optional-you do not have to explain
- Confirm the cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button.
- The platform will ask you to verify the cancellation one more time
- After you confirm, your cancellation request is submitted
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page and save the confirmation email LawCrossing sends you.
- This proof is essential if you later dispute a charge
- Save the email in a dedicated folder for your records
Method 2: cancel by email
Email is the recommended method if you prefer a documented written record or if you are canceling outside PST business hours. Send your cancellation request to the official LawCrossing support email address: [email protected]
- Compose a new email to [email protected].
- Use your email account (the one registered with LawCrossing)
- Subject line: "Cancel my LawCrossing subscription"
- Include the following information in the email body:
- Your full name as it appears on your account
- Your registered email address
- Your account username (if you know it)
- Your current billing date (the date your next charge is due)
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my LawCrossing subscription. Please confirm once this request is processed."
- Send the email and save a copy in a "Cancellations" folder on your computer.
- Do not delete the email from your inbox
- Keep the confirmation email LawCrossing sends back
- Expect a response within 2 to 5 business days (PST time).
- LawCrossing should send you a confirmation email with details of your cancellation
- Check your spam folder if you do not see a response within 5 days
- If you do not receive confirmation within 7 days, follow up with a second email or proceed to Method 3 (phone).
- Reference your original cancellation email in the follow-up
Method 3: cancel by phone
Telephone cancellation is best if you need immediate confirmation or if you want to discuss your account with a live representative. However, LawCrossing's phone line operates only during US Pacific Standard Time business hours, which may be inconvenient for Malaysian callers.
- Note the phone line details:
- Number: +1 (800) 973-1177 (toll-free from the US; international calls may incur charges)
- Hours: 08:00 to 16:00 PST, Monday to Friday only
- Convert PST to Malaysian time: PST is 16 hours behind Malaysia Standard Time (MYT), so 08:00 PST = 00:00 MYT (midnight) and 16:00 PST = 08:00 MYT (8 am)
- Call during the specified hours (early morning Malaysian time).
- Use Skype, WhatsApp calling, or an international calling app to reduce costs
- Have your account email and billing date ready before you call
- Tell the representative you want to cancel your subscription effective immediately.
- Provide your account email and any requested details
- Ask the representative to confirm your cancellation over the phone
- Request a confirmation email be sent immediately after the call ends.
- Note the name of the representative you spoke with
- Save the call details in your cancellation folder
What happens after you cancel: your access and billing
Cancellation does not mean instant removal from the platform. Understanding the post-cancellation period is critical, because you may still have access to your account even after you have requested cancellation.
Access after cancellation
Once you cancel, LawCrossing will continue to grant you access to the service until the end of your current billing period. For example, if your next billing date is 15 June 2025 and you cancel on 1 June 2025, you retain full access until 15 June 2025. After that date, your account access terminates and you can no longer log in.
This means you have time to download or save any course materials, job application records, or profile information you want to keep. After the billing period ends, the company does not guarantee data retention, and you may lose access to historical information stored in your account.
Charges and billing after cancellation
No further charges should appear on your card or bank statement after your current billing period ends. If a charge appears after your cancellation date and the end of your billing period, this is unauthorized billing and you have the right to dispute it. Contact your card issuer immediately and report the charge as unauthorized. You can also escalate this to the MDTCA under the CPA 1999.
Check your statements carefully for 30 to 60 days after your final billing date. Occasionally, charges appear late or under a different merchant descriptor. If you see any LawCrossing-related charge after your confirmed end date, document it and report it.
Refunds and billing disputes
LawCrossing's refund policy is not clearly published on the platform. Consequently, you must make a separate refund request if you believe you are entitled to one. Yafee recommends pursuing a refund claim if any of the following apply to you.
When you can claim a refund
You have reasonable grounds to request a refund in these situations:
- You cancelled before your billing date and were still charged. The charge should not have gone through if you cancelled in time. Request the full charge amount be refunded.
- You were not clearly informed the free trial would auto-renew. If the trial-to-paid conversion was not made obvious before you signed up, the first charge may be refundable under the CPA 1999 (misleading conduct).
- The cancellation button was hidden, disabled, or non-functional. If the platform made it deliberately difficult to cancel, charges after your cancellation request may be refundable.
- You are still being charged after confirmed cancellation. Any charge after your cancellation confirmation is unauthorized and must be refunded in full.
How to request a refund from LawCrossing
Submit a written refund request to [email protected] Include your account email, the charge date, the charge amount, and a brief explanation of why you believe the charge should be refunded. Request a response within 14 days.
If LawCrossing denies your refund or ignores your request, file a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) at www.kpdnhep.gov.my. The MDTCA can investigate whether the company engaged in unfair or deceptive billing practices and compel a refund if appropriate.
Common mistakes people make when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but small errors can delay the process or leave you without proof. You can avoid these pitfalls with basic preparation.
Not checking your billing date before cancelling
Your billing date is the single most important piece of information. If you cancel one day after your billing date, you have already been charged for the next month and will need to request a refund. Log into your account and confirm your exact next billing date before you submit any cancellation request. Screenshot this information.
Failing to save confirmation emails and receipts
LawCrossing sends a confirmation email when you cancel. If this email ends up in your spam folder or if you accidentally delete it, you lose proof of your cancellation request. The moment you receive a confirmation email, save it to a dedicated folder on your computer and take a screenshot of the email timestamp.
Assuming cancellation is complete without confirmation
Never assume your cancellation has been processed just because you clicked a button or sent an email. Wait for written confirmation (email or in-app notification). If you do not receive confirmation within 3 to 5 business days, follow up immediately using a different method (email if you called, or phone if you emailed).
Not monitoring your bank statement for post-cancellation charges
After your cancellation date, continue checking your statements monthly for 60 days. Unauthorized charges sometimes appear weeks after a cancellation due to billing system delays or processing errors. The sooner you catch and report an erroneous charge, the faster your card issuer can reverse it.
Pre-cancellation checklist: what to do before you submit
Before you cancel, take these steps to protect yourself and preserve important information:

| Yafee recommendation |
Cancel if not actively using; document all cancellations |
Consider bar association boards for lower cost; cancellation often easier |
Offers built-in refund protection; clearer cancellation process |
If LawCrossing refuses to cancel or ignores your request
In rare cases, a subscription platform may refuse to acknowledge your cancellation request or continue charging you after you have requested an end to the service. Malaysian consumer law provides a clear escalation path in these situations.
Step 1: follow up in writing
If you submitted a cancellation request more than 7 business days ago and received no confirmation, send a second written request. Email [email protected] with the subject line "URGENT: Escalation-Cancellation Request Not Acknowledged [Your Account Email]". Reference your original request date and request a response within 48 hours.
Step 2: dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer
If a charge appears after your cancellation request and the company does not refund it, contact your bank or card issuer immediately. Tell them you requested cancellation in writing and the company is continuing to charge you without permission. Most card issuers can reverse unauthorized recurring charges within 30 to 60 days of the disputed transaction. Your issuer will file a chargeback with LawCrossing's payment processor, forcing the company to respond to the dispute.
Step 3: report to the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs (MDTCA)
If the company refuses to refund a disputed charge or continues billing after cancellation, file a formal complaint with the MDTCA under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Yafee advises that this step carries real enforcement weight in Malaysia. The MDTCA can:
- Investigate whether LawCrossing engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct
- Issue a directive requiring the company to cease unfair billing practices
- Order LawCrossing to provide you compensation for losses (refunds plus damages)
- Escalate the matter to authorities in the United States if necessary
File your complaint online at www.kpdnhep.gov.my or contact the consumer helpline for assistance. Include copies of your cancellation requests, confirmation emails, disputed charge statements, and any responses (or lack thereof) from LawCrossing.
Key takeaways for cancelling LawCrossing in malaysia
Cancelling your LawCrossing subscription is straightforward if you use the right method and document your request. Yafee has guided thousands of Malaysian consumers through subscription cancellations, and the process is predictable: submit your request before your billing date, save confirmation, and monitor your statements afterward.
Your legal rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 protect you if the company fails to honor your cancellation or continues billing you without permission. The MDTCA enforcement mechanism gives you genuine recourse if disputes arise.
The three cancellation methods (online, email, phone) are all valid. Choose the method that leaves you with the clearest proof. Email and online cancellations create digital records; phone cancellation creates a conversation record (note the representative's name and time of call).
After you cancel, access continues until your billing period ends. Use this time to download any materials you need. After the period ends, no further charges should appear. If they do, report the unauthorized billing to your card issuer and the MDTCA.
Yafee.com has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions and recover unauthorized charges by following these exact steps and referencing consumer protection law. If you face resistance from LawCrossing or need guidance on your specific situation, Yafee's legal resources are available online at yafee.com to support your cancellation and dispute process.
