Frequently asked questions
Cancel Id Assist: The Right Way
How to cancel Id Assist identity protection service in malaysia and avoid hidden renewal charges
What Id Assist is and why you need to know the cancellation rules
Id Assist is a subscription-based identity protection service operated by Sigma Loyalty Group Inc. The service monitors your credit profile, sends fraud alerts, and provides recovery support if identity theft occurs. Your membership renews automatically every year until you cancel, which means charges will continue unless you take deliberate action to stop them.
In Malaysia, there is significant confusion between two similarly named companies. The website iassist.com.my belongs to I Assist (M) Sdn Bhd, a software developer for multilevel marketing systems. That is not the identity protection service you are cancelling. Your Id Assist subscription comes through the international site, and you must use the international cancellation process. At Yafee, we have helped thousands of consumers distinguish between these two entities and cancel the correct service.
The subscription runs on automatic renewal. Your payment account is charged at the then-current rate on each renewal date unless you cancel before that date arrives. Many customers discover the service only when they see an unexpected charge on their bank statement. Understanding your cancellation rights under Malaysian consumer law protects you from unwanted future charges.
How the subscription model works
When you signed up for Id Assist, you agreed to recurring billing. The welcome email you received contains three critical pieces of information: your membership reference number, the name of your plan (typically the Standard Plan), and the exact renewal date. Your card is charged automatically on that date each year, renewing your service for another 12 months.
The Standard Plan costs approximately RM708 per year (USD $150.00 converted). No Malaysian-specific pricing page is publicly visible, so your own billing confirmation and account page remain your primary source of truth about what you pay and when.
Why the cancellation process is unclear
The Id Assist website does not provide a self-service cancellation button in your account settings. The published cancellation policy states simply: "To cancel your subscription, contact ID Assist by telephone." No local Malaysian phone number is listed publicly, and no online portal exists to stop your subscription. This design creates friction and frustration for customers who expect modern account management.
Yafee recognises that this lack of transparency is precisely why cancellation guides are essential. You deserve clear steps and legal backing to stop your charges.
Your legal position under malaysian consumer protection law
Your right to cancel Id Assist is grounded in the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599), which governs unfair contract terms and automatic renewal practices in Malaysia. This law protects you by requiring the service provider to make cancellation as easy as purchase.
Key consumer rights that protect you
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 establishes that automatic renewal contracts must include clear, conspicuous cancellation instructions before you make any payment. If Id Assist fails to provide an obvious cancellation route, the contract terms may be challenged as unfair.
Furthermore, under Section 88 of the Act, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (online or telephone sale) within 10 working days of purchase if the seller does not provide proper pre-contractual information. If you paid for Id Assist without receiving transparent renewal terms and cancellation procedures beforehand, you may qualify for a full refund under this cooling-off period, even if you cancel months later by proving the failure to disclose.
The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCOL) enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and investigates complaints about unfair subscription practices. If Id Assist refuses to cancel your subscription or continues charging after you request cancellation, you can file a formal complaint with MDTCCOL.
Your legal position on cancellation
In summary: You have the absolute right to cancel your Id Assist subscription at any time by providing written notice before your renewal date. The company must stop billing immediately upon receipt of your cancellation request. You do not need to provide a reason. If the company continues charging after you cancel, that constitutes unauthorised billing and is a breach of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. You can demand a refund of all unauthorised charges and lodge a complaint with MDTCCOL.
Methods to cancel your Id Assist subscription
Id Assist offers only one verified cancellation method: direct telephone contact. There is no online portal, no email cancellation form, and no automated chatbot option. This section guides you through the telephone cancellation route and explains what to do if the company resists.
Gathering your information before you call
Before you contact Id Assist, assemble four essential documents. This preparation ensures you can answer security questions quickly and have proof of your cancellation request.
- Locate your welcome email from Id Assist
- Search your email inbox and spam folder for "Id Assist" or "Sigma Loyalty"
- The subject line often contains "Welcome to Id Assist" or "Your membership is active"
- Copy and save the membership reference number shown in that email
- Find your latest billing confirmation or bank statement
- Log into your bank account or credit card portal
- Search for transactions from "Id Assist" or "Sigma Loyalty" in the past three months
- Note the exact amount charged (in RM or USD), the billing date, and the next renewal date
- Prepare your account access details
- If you can log into your Id Assist account online, take a screenshot of your current plan, payment method, and any renewal date shown
- Write down the last four digits of the card on file
- Record the current date and time in Malaysia (MYT / UTC+8)
- Write this down before you make the call so you have proof of when you requested cancellation
- This timestamp is crucial if Id Assist later claims you cancelled after the renewal deadline
Placing your cancellation call
Id Assist does not publish a dedicated Malaysian phone number. You must use the international contact number available on the company website or in your welcome email. The website idassist.com hosts the contact page; look for a "Contact Us" link in the footer or a "Support" menu.
- Visit idassist.com and navigate to the Contact Us section
- Find the telephone number listed for subscription support or cancellation
- Call during international business hours (Id Assist operates from the United States)
- Check the website for operating hours before dialling, as these may vary seasonally
- Malaysia Standard Time is 12 hours ahead of US Eastern Standard Time in winter, 13 hours in summer
- When connected, state: "I am calling to cancel my Id Assist subscription effective immediately. My membership reference is [your number]. My email address on file is [your email]."
- Provide the security information when asked (last four digits of payment method, membership reference, or date of birth)
- Listen carefully to the company's confirmation
- Ask for the exact date your cancellation takes effect
- Confirm the final charge date (if any remaining balance is owed)
- Ask whether you will receive a cancellation confirmation email
- Request a confirmation reference number or cancellation ticket number
- Thank the representative and end the call
Confirming your cancellation in writing
A telephone cancellation is valid, but you must follow up with written proof. This protects you if the company later disputes whether you cancelled.
- Send an email to the Id Assist support address (found on idassist.com)
- Subject line: "Cancellation Request - Membership Reference [your number]"
- Body: "I am writing to confirm that I requested cancellation of my Id Assist subscription by telephone on [date and time]. The representative provided cancellation reference number [number if given]. Please confirm in writing that my subscription has been cancelled and provide the effective cancellation date."
- Keep a copy of this email for your records
- Wait for a written response confirming cancellation
- This should arrive within 3 to 5 business days
- If you do not receive confirmation within 7 days, send a second email or call again
Pricing and what you are paying for
Understanding the cost structure helps you assess whether Id Assist provides value and confirms what you should no longer be charged for after cancellation.
| Plan | Billing frequency | Approximate cost | Currency | Malaysian ringgit (estimated) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Plan | Annual | USD $150.00 | USD | RM708 |
| Additional family members (if available) | Annual add-on | Varies by region | USD or local | Check account |
These prices are estimates based on the most recent publicly available data. Your actual invoice may differ depending on promotional codes used at signup, regional surcharges, or plan upgrades. Always verify the exact amount by checking your bank statement or account portal.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not happen instantly. Several things occur in sequence after you request it.
Immediate consequences of cancellation
Once Id Assist processes your cancellation request, you retain access to your account until your current billing cycle ends. If your renewal date is 1 August and you cancel on 15 July, you remain a member until 1 August. After that date, you lose access to fraud monitoring, alert features, and recovery support.
No refund is issued for the unused portion of your current membership year unless you cancel within the Consumer Protection Act 1999 cooling-off period (10 working days of purchase) or prove that the company violated pre-contractual disclosure requirements.
Checking your account after cancellation
One week after cancellation, log into your Id Assist account to confirm the changes. You should see one of the following: a message stating your membership has ended, a "Cancelled" status next to your plan, or an inability to access member features. If your account still displays an active membership, contact Id Assist immediately to clarify.
Monitoring your billing statement
For the next three billing cycles (roughly 3 to 9 months), review your bank and credit card statements carefully. No charge from Id Assist should appear. If an unexpected charge does appear after you cancelled, contact Id Assist customer service immediately and cite your cancellation reference number. If the company does not reverse the charge within 7 days, contact your bank to file a dispute.
Refunds and recovering money you have already paid
Your eligibility for a refund depends on when you cancel and whether Id Assist violated consumer law.
Refunds within the cooling-off period
If you cancel within 10 working days of your initial purchase, the Consumer Protection Act 1999 entitles you to a full refund, regardless of whether you used the service. Count working days from the date you received your welcome email, not the date you signed up. If you discover Id Assist was not properly disclosed in your pre-purchase information, the 10-day period may restart when you request cancellation.
Refunds after the cooling-off period
Once 10 working days have passed, cancellation does not entitle you to a refund under consumer law. However, if you can prove that Id Assist failed to provide clear cancellation instructions before you paid, or if the company violated the Consumer Protection Act 1999 by making cancellation deliberately difficult, you may lodge a complaint with MDTCCOL and request a refund as part of the investigation.
Disputing unauthorised charges
If Id Assist charges your card after you cancelled, that charge is unauthorised. Contact your bank immediately and file a chargeback dispute. Provide your cancellation reference number and the written cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank will investigate and typically reverse the charge within 10 to 20 business days.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward once you follow the process, but several common pitfalls can derail it. Being aware of these traps means you avoid them.
Mistaking i Assist (M) sdn bhd for Id Assist
The website iassist.com.my is a Malaysian company offering MLM software, not identity protection. If you visit that site and try to cancel through it, you will not reach your subscription provider. Always use idassist.com (the international site with no country extension) to contact Id Assist customer service or find billing information.
Cancelling without proof of the request
A telephone call alone is not sufficient if the company later disputes your cancellation. Always follow up with a written email confirmation. Keep screenshots of your bank statement showing when you called and what amount was due. Without written proof, Id Assist can claim they never received a cancellation request.
Cancelling too late before renewal
If your renewal date is 1 August and you call to cancel on 31 July at 11 PM Malaysia time, the company may have already processed the annual charge. Your cancellation request will be honoured for next year, but you will be charged for the current year. Always cancel at least 5 to 7 days before your renewal date to avoid this situation.
Failing to check the billing confirmation
Your welcome email contains the membership reference number, plan name, and renewal date. Many customers lose this email and then struggle to answer security questions during cancellation. Save this email to your computer and back it up to cloud storage immediately after signup.

If Id Assist refuses to cancel your subscription
In rare cases, the company may claim your cancellation request was not received, dispute the date you cancelled, or attempt to charge you again after cancellation. Here is how to escalate.
Escalation step 1: email management directly
Send a formal email to Id Assist management (not just customer support) with the subject line "Formal Notice of Cancellation - [Your Reference Number]". State that you requested cancellation by telephone on [date and time], provided a reference number [if given], sent written confirmation on [date], and demand written acknowledgement within 3 business days. Include copies of all previous communications.
Escalation step 2: file a complaint with MDTCCOL
If Id Assist does not respond within 7 days, lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living. You can file online through the National Consumer Complaints Centre (NCCC) portal at nccc.gov.my or visit your nearest MDTCCOL office in person. Provide all documentation: welcome email, billing statements, cancellation confirmation email, and proof of your telephone call (date, time, reference number).
Escalation step 3: dispute the charge with your bank
If Id Assist continues charging your card after cancellation, contact your bank and file a chargeback dispute immediately. Provide your cancellation reference number and written confirmation as evidence. Your bank has the authority to reverse unauthorised charges and protect your account from further billing.
