How to cancel Scoresense and stop monthly charges in malaysia
What Scoresense is and why you might want to cancel
Scoresense is a US-based, subscription-funded credit monitoring service that bills you automatically every month unless you actively cancel your membership. You receive access to credit scores, detailed credit reports from all three credit bureaus, daily fraud alerts, and identity theft protection tools. The service operates under auto-renewal terms, which means your account renews on a fixed billing date each month until you take action to stop it.
How Scoresense charges malaysian users
For users in Malaysia, Scoresense charges approximately RM134.78 per month. Your card is billed in Malaysian Ringgit, though the service is US-based and governed by United States law. Your bank may apply currency conversion fees or rate margins on top of the published price, so your actual charge can vary slightly month to month.
Importantly, if you signed up for a free trial period (typically 7 days), the 24-hour countdown begins the moment you start the trial, not at midnight on that calendar date. If you do not cancel before the trial expires, you will be charged the full monthly rate automatically. Many users discover this charge weeks later when reviewing bank statements, by which time multiple monthly debits have already occurred.
The auto-renewal trap: why cancellation matters
Scoresense operates on what is known as a "negative consent" or "auto-renewal" model. This means the membership continues indefinitely unless you explicitly cancel. You are not reminded by email or SMS before your next charge, and the service does not require you to re-confirm your payment method. Consequently, if you signed up to review your credit report once and forgot about the ongoing commitment, charges will continue until you cancel.
Consumer protection authorities in Malaysia and internationally have highlighted auto-renewal services as a common source of complaint. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599) requires traders to be transparent about renewal terms, but responsibility for cancellation remains with the consumer. Yafee has documented thousands of cases where users were unaware of the auto-renewal clause or did not know how to access the cancellation process.
Your consumer rights under malaysian law
Your legal position is protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, the primary legislation governing consumer transactions in Malaysia. Under this Act, the trader (Scoresense) must provide you with clear terms and conditions before you make a purchase, including the frequency and amount of charges for subscription services.
What the consumer protection act 1999 requires
Section 117 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999 specifically addresses "unfair contracts." A contract is unfair if it creates a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations, contrary to good faith. For auto-renewal services, this means Scoresense must:
- Disclose the auto-renewal mechanism clearly before you pay anything
- Make cancellation at least as easy as the sign-up process
- Provide a simple, accessible cancellation method on the website or app
- Honour your cancellation request promptly
If Scoresense fails to meet these obligations, you have grounds to lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), which enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
Your right to a refund
Under section 121 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you may have grounds to claim a refund if you cancel within a reasonable time after discovering an unfair practice. In practice, most credit monitoring services honour refunds for charges incurred after you submit a valid cancellation request. If you cancel on the 15th of the month and a charge appears on the 20th, you are entitled to request a reversal of that charge.
However, Scoresense may not refund charges for months in which the service was active and accessible to you. This is standard across the industry. Yafee recommends requesting a refund only for charges incurred after your cancellation was submitted and processed.
Methods to cancel Scoresense
Scoresense provides cancellation through multiple channels, depending on where you signed up. The fastest method is typically through the website account dashboard, but you have several options if one is not accessible.
Cancel through the Scoresense website
Log in to your Scoresense account on the main website and navigate to your account settings or subscription management page. This section displays your current plan, next billing date, and renewal amount. Locate the "Cancel Membership" or "End Subscription" button and select it. Scoresense will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer a retention discount; decline this if you are certain you want to cancel. After confirmation, you will receive an on-screen message and an email confirmation. Keep this email as proof of cancellation.
Cancel via the Scoresense mobile app
If you signed up through the Scoresense app on iOS or Android, you can cancel within the app itself. Open the app, go to Account Settings or Profile, then Subscription or Billing, and select the option to manage or cancel your subscription. Confirm the cancellation and take a screenshot of the confirmation message.
Cancel through your app store subscription management
If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, the billing happens through those platforms, not directly through Scoresense. You must cancel within the app store's own subscription settings, not within the Scoresense app. On iOS, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions and find Scoresense. On Android, open Google Play, tap Account > Subscriptions, find Scoresense, and select Cancel Subscription.
Cancel by contacting customer support
Scoresense customer support operates Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM CST (Central Standard Time, which is 10 PM to 10 AM the next day in Malaysia Time). Contact them via phone, email, or live chat on their website. When you contact support, provide your full name, account email address, and the specific cancellation request. Ask for a confirmation ticket number and request written confirmation of the cancellation date and time. Keep this confirmation.
Step-by-step cancellation process
Follow these steps in order to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly and no further charges occur.
Step 1: log in and locate your subscription details
- Visit the Scoresense website and log in with your email and password
- Navigate to Account Settings or Account Management
- Find the Subscription or Membership section
- Note the current plan name, next billing date, and renewal amount
- Take a screenshot of this page for your records
Step 2: locate the cancellation option
- On the subscription page, look for buttons labelled "Cancel Membership," "End Subscription," "Manage Subscription," or similar
- If you cannot find it, scroll to the bottom of the subscription section or check under Settings
- If the button is not visible, contact customer support (see contact details below) and request the cancellation link
Step 3: confirm cancellation
- Click the cancellation button
- Scoresense will display a confirmation page asking you to verify that you want to cancel
- Read the message carefully; it will specify your cancellation date and when your access ends
- Confirm by clicking the final "Cancel Membership" or "Confirm Cancellation" button
Step 4: save your confirmation
- Scoresense will display a confirmation message on screen; take a screenshot
- Check your email (including spam folder) for a confirmation email from Scoresense
- If you do not receive an email within 2 hours, log back into your account and verify that the cancellation status shows as "Cancelled" or "Pending Cancellation"
- Save the confirmation email, screenshot, and any reference or ticket number provided
Step 5: monitor your account and card
- Check your Scoresense account 2 to 3 days later to confirm the cancellation was processed
- Review your bank or credit card statement for the next 60 days to ensure no further charges appear
- If a charge occurs after your confirmed cancellation date, request a refund immediately (see Refund section below)
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is effective immediately, but there are important details about what you lose and what you retain.
Your access and data after cancellation
Upon cancellation, your account typically remains in the system for 30 to 90 days, during which you can reactivate the subscription if you change your mind. However, you will lose immediate access to your credit reports, score updates, and alerts. If you need to download or save any credit reports or personal data before your subscription ends, do so at least one day before you cancel, as Scoresense may restrict access shortly after cancellation is confirmed.
When your final charge appears
If you cancel on, for example, the 10th of the month and your billing date is the 25th, you will be charged one final time on the 25th for the current billing cycle. This is standard practice and is considered fair because you received access to the service for part of that cycle. After this final charge, no further charges should occur. If a charge appears after the month in which you cancelled, escalate the issue to your bank and file a complaint with MDTCA.
Refund policy and disputing unwanted charges
Scoresense does not offer a blanket refund for all past charges, but you may be entitled to a refund for specific circumstances under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
Charges after cancellation
If Scoresense continues to charge your card after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, you are entitled to request a full refund of those post-cancellation charges. Contact Scoresense customer support immediately with your cancellation confirmation and bank statement. Yafee recommends also notifying your bank to dispute the charges as "unauthorized billings."
Charges incurred during a trial you did not intend to continue
If you enrolled in a free trial but did not intend to convert to a paid membership, and the trial-to-paid conversion happened without clear advance notice, you may claim a refund of the first charge. Provide Scoresense with evidence that you attempted to cancel during the trial period, even if that cancellation was not successfully processed.
How to request a refund
- Contact Scoresense customer support with your cancellation confirmation email or ticket number
- Provide your full name, account email, and the date you submitted your cancellation
- Specify which charge(s) you are disputing and explain why you believe you are entitled to a refund
- Attach a copy of your bank statement showing the charge
- Request a written response within 7 business days
If Scoresense refuses the refund
If customer support denies your refund request, you have the right to escalate the complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) online portal or by visiting a local MDTCA office. Provide all documentation, including cancellation confirmation, bank statements, and Scoresense's denial email. MDTCA will investigate the complaint and may order Scoresense to refund the disputed amount. This process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks.
You also have the right to dispute the charge with your bank as an "unauthorized transaction" or "billing error." Your bank may reverse the charge while investigating, even if Scoresense disputes it. Yafee recommends pursuing both routes simultaneously.

Common mistakes when cancelling Scoresense
You can cancel successfully if you avoid these pitfalls; most issues arise from timing and incomplete confirmations.
Assuming the cancellation was processed without confirmation
Many users click "cancel" and assume the action is complete. However, Scoresense requires you to confirm the cancellation a second time on a dedicated confirmation page. If you do not see the second confirmation prompt or fail to click the final "Confirm" button, the cancellation does not process. Always wait for the on-screen confirmation message and the email receipt. If you do not receive an email within 2 hours, log back in and check whether your subscription status has changed to "Cancelled."
Cancelling through the wrong channel
If you signed up through Google Play or the App Store, cancelling only within the Scoresense app or website will not work. You must cancel through the app store's subscription settings. Similarly, if you signed up on the website, cancelling through the app will not process. Verify which platform you used to sign up by checking your email confirmation receipt, then cancel through that same platform.
Cancelling too late in the month
Scoresense charges on your billing date each month. If your billing date is the 25th and you cancel on the 24th, the charge will still occur on the 25th. Cancellations submitted after your billing date has passed will not prevent that month's charge; you will be billed one final time. Plan your cancellation at least 2 to 3 days before your next billing date to minimize overlap.
Not saving confirmation details
If a dispute arises later, you will need evidence that you cancelled. Screenshots and confirmation emails are your only proof. Without them, Scoresense may claim you never requested cancellation, and your bank will have no documentation to support a refund request. Save everything before closing the browser tab.
If you cannot cancel online or if charges continue after cancellation, contact Scoresense directly.

Provide MDTCA with copies of your cancellation confirmation, all bank statements showing charges, any correspondence with Scoresense, and a written explanation of why you believe your rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 have been violated.
Final summary and next steps
Cancelling Scoresense requires four clear actions: logging in, locating the cancellation button, confirming the cancellation, and saving proof. The entire process takes fewer than 5 minutes online. Charges may continue for the current billing cycle after you cancel, but no charges should occur in the following month. If they do, your bank and MDTCA are your recourse routes.
