Frequently asked questions
Cancel Checkmyfile: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Checkmyfile and stop recurring charges in malaysia
What Checkmyfile is and why malaysians sign up
Checkmyfile is a credit report subscription service operated from the United Kingdom that consolidates data from three major UK credit reference agencies-Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion-into a single online account. If you are a Malaysian user, you need to understand upfront that this is a UK-based service governed by English and Welsh law, not Malaysian consumer regulations.
How the service works for you
When you sign up, Checkmyfile offers a 7-day free trial. After that period ends, the service converts to a paid monthly subscription unless you cancel before the trial expires. You gain access to detailed credit reports, daily updates, and email-based customer support. The main appeal is convenience: instead of visiting three separate credit agency websites, you review all your data in one place.
Many Malaysian users activate Checkmyfile for a specific reason-checking their file before a loan application, reviewing for identity theft, or settling a dispute with a lender. Once that task is complete, they forget to cancel, and the first monthly charge hits their card. This is precisely where Yafee's contract-law expertise becomes valuable: understanding your cancellation rights and executing them correctly prevents unwanted recurring charges.
The pricing model and how it affects cancellation
Checkmyfile charges a monthly subscription of £16.99, which converts to approximately RM93.45 at current exchange rates (1 GBP = 5.50 MYR as of mid-2024). There is no separate Malaysian pricing tier, no local currency billing option, and no local language support. Your payments are processed in British pounds sterling, and your contract is interpreted under the law of England and Wales. Support operates during UK business hours only: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM UK time.
Yafee recommends that before you commit to any trial or paid plan, you verify your credit card issuer will accept the GBP charge and confirm the exchange rate applied to your statement. Unlike services with local Malaysian accounts, refunds or disputes may take longer to resolve.
Your consumer rights and legal protections
Even though Checkmyfile is UK-based, your rights as a Malaysian consumer remain significant if disputes arise.
Consumer protection act 1999 and distance contracts
Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA) grants you a right of withdrawal for distance contracts-contracts entered into without face-to-face negotiation, such as online subscriptions. Specifically, Section 14 of the CPA allows you to cancel a distance contract within 10 calendar days of receipt of the service terms without penalty or justification. This right applies regardless of where the supplier is based, as long as the contract is offered to a Malaysian consumer.
Consequently, if you subscribed to Checkmyfile within the last 10 days, you may have grounds to cancel and recover your payment under the CPA, not just under Checkmyfile's own cancellation policy. Yafee advises documenting the exact date you signed up and the date you first received the terms of service.
Unfair contract terms and billing transparency
The CPA also protects you from unfair contract terms under Schedule 2. If Checkmyfile's terms include clauses that are excessively one-sided-for example, if cancellation were deliberately hidden or if the free trial were presented misleadingly-those terms could be challenged as unfair under Malaysian law. A transparent billing date and a straightforward cancellation process are baseline consumer expectations.
Your legal position: You hold the right to cancel a distance contract within 10 days of receiving the terms. Beyond that window, Checkmyfile's own cancellation policy applies, but you retain the right to demand clarity on charges and billing dates, and you may escalate unresolved disputes to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP) or the Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations (FOMCA).
Methods to cancel Checkmyfile
Checkmyfile offers several official cancellation paths, and Yafee recommends selecting the method that creates the strongest documented trail.
Online cancellation through your account
The fastest and most reliable method is to cancel directly through your Checkmyfile account dashboard. This method generates an immediate digital confirmation and a timestamped record of your request.
Email cancellation to support
If the online method fails or you prefer a written record, you can email Checkmyfile support. This creates an email trail and ensures your cancellation request is logged in their system.
Phone cancellation during UK business hours
You may also call Checkmyfile's support line during UK hours (Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM UK time). However, Yafee recommends following this up with an email confirmation, as verbal cancellations are harder to dispute if a charge still appears.
Step-by-step guide to cancelling via your account
This is the preferred method because it delivers an immediate confirmation email and a secure message in your Checkmyfile inbox, creating an indisputable record of cancellation.
Prepare your account before cancelling
Before you press cancel, take three simple precautions to protect yourself. First, log into your Checkmyfile account and locate the Billing tab. Examine your next billing date and the amount charged (typically £16.99 or RM93.45). Second, take a screenshot of this page and save it to your computer or phone. Third, download or photograph any credit reports or documents you still need from the service, as Checkmyfile may restrict access after cancellation.
- Log in to your Checkmyfile account.
- Navigate to your profile or account settings.
- Find the Billing or Subscription tab.
- Screenshot the current plan status, billing date, and amount.
- Download any reports you need for future reference.
- Check your email inbox and spam folder for past billing confirmations to verify the account is correct.
Execute the cancellation through the dashboard
Once you have documented your account details, proceed with the cancellation. Checkmyfile's help centre confirms this sequence: log in, locate your initials at the top-right of the page, click them to open the account menu, select the Billing tab, and click the Cancel option. The system will then present final confirmation steps.
- Log in to Checkmyfile at checkmyfile.com.
- Click your initials or profile icon at the top-right of the screen.
- Select the Billing tab from the dropdown menu.
- Click the Cancel Subscription or Cancel Plan button.
- Review any reason-for-cancellation form that appears (optional, but Yafee recommends completing it to flag service issues).
- Confirm cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button.
- Wait for the page to display a success message.
- Screenshot the success message immediately.
Secure confirmation and ongoing proof
After you submit the cancellation, Checkmyfile confirms via email and sends a secure message to your account inbox. Do not close your browser until the success page appears. Immediately take a screenshot of it, then forward it to your personal email for safekeeping. Check your email inbox (and spam folder) within the next 5 minutes for the confirmation message from Checkmyfile. Save this email and any secure message to a folder marked "Checkmyfile Cancellation".
- Save the browser success page screenshot to your computer.
- Open your email and locate the cancellation confirmation from Checkmyfile.
- Screenshot the email header showing the date and time received.
- Create a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage for all Checkmyfile documents.
- Forward the confirmation email to a secondary email account as a backup.
Cancellation via email if the online method fails
If you cannot access the online cancellation tool or encounter an error, email Checkmyfile support. This creates a written record and ensures the company has logged your explicit request.
Drafting and sending your email
Write a clear, professional email to Checkmyfile's support address. Include your account email, your full name, your request to cancel, the date of cancellation, and a request for written confirmation. Keep the tone neutral and factual-do not use emotional language or accusations. Yafee advises using language such as: "I request cancellation of my Checkmyfile subscription effective immediately. Please confirm this action in writing and provide the date and time the cancellation was processed."
Send this email from the same email address you used to create your Checkmyfile account. Checkmyfile's support contact is typically available via the Help Centre on their website.
- Compose a new email in your email client.
- Use a clear subject line: "Cancellation Request for [Your Account Email Address]".
- Include your full name, account email, and current subscription status.
- State the date you wish the cancellation to take effect.
- Request a confirmation email with the time and date of processing.
- Save a draft copy of the email before sending.
- After sending, add the email to a folder marked "Cancellation Requests".
Following up if you do not receive confirmation
If you do not receive a reply within 5 business days, send a follow-up email referencing the date and time of your first request. Nevertheless, if Checkmyfile remains unresponsive and you see another charge, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately to dispute the transaction. Yafee recommends documenting all communication attempts before escalating to your payment processor.
What happens to your account after cancellation
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline prevents confusion and unwanted charges.
Access and refund eligibility
Checkmyfile's standard policy is that you retain access to your account for the period already paid for. If you are mid-billing cycle and cancel immediately, you do not receive a refund for the unused portion of that month. This is a common business practice in subscription services and is typically legal under UK and Malaysian consumer law if the terms are transparent at signup.
However, if you cancel within 10 days of receiving your contract terms (under the CPA distance-contract right of withdrawal), you are entitled to a full refund of any payment made. In this scenario, contact Yafee or FOMCA for guidance on asserting this right.
Billing and no future charges
Once cancellation is confirmed, no further charges should appear on your credit card or bank statement. Monitor your account for the next 60 days to ensure no recurring charges occur. If a charge appears after cancellation confirmation, contact Checkmyfile immediately and then dispute it with your bank. Take a screenshot of the charge and attach it to your dispute claim along with your cancellation confirmation email.
Data retention and account access
After cancellation, your account remains visible when you log in, but your access to live credit reports and updates is removed. If you need to download any final documents-such as a copy of your credit report or any correspondence about disputes-do this before cancellation, as Yafee cannot guarantee you will retain the ability to download historical reports after the subscription ends.
Pricing overview and monthly charges
Understanding the exact cost structure clarifies why cancellation timing is critical.
| Billing period | Amount (GBP) | Equivalent (MYR) | Renewal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | £16.99 | RM93.45 | Every 30 days from signup |
| Free trial period | £0.00 | RM0.00 | 7 days (then first charge) |
| First charge date | £16.99 after trial | RM93.45 after trial | Day 8 after signup |
| Exchange rate applied | 1 GBP | ~5.50 MYR | Rate varies; bank's rate used |
| Refund for early cancellation | Conditional | Conditional | Within 10 days CPA window only |
| No-refund period | After 10 days | After 10 days | Unused portion not refunded |
Common mistakes that lead to ongoing charges
Cancellation failures usually stem from a few predictable errors-and you can avoid all of them with clarity and intention.
Assuming the trial auto-cancels
The most frequent mistake is believing that Checkmyfile will automatically cancel after your 7-day free trial ends. This is incorrect. The trial automatically converts to a paid subscription unless you actively cancel. Do not assume the service will end on its own.
Cancelling in the wrong section of your account
Some users navigate to Settings or Profile instead of the Billing tab. The cancellation button is exclusively in the Billing section. If you do not see a Cancel option there, you are in the wrong tab. Go back and select Billing specifically.
Not waiting for the final confirmation screen
If you close your browser window immediately after clicking Cancel, you may not see the success message, and the cancellation might not process. Always wait for the screen to confirm cancellation is complete. Yafee recommends waiting 10 seconds after clicking confirm before closing the page.
Ignoring the confirmation email
Checkmyfile sends a confirmation email and a secure message to your account. If you do not receive either within 10 minutes, cancellation may have failed. Log back in and repeat the process or use the email method instead.
Cancelling too close to the billing date
If your next billing date is tomorrow and you only cancel today, the charge may still process because the system batches billing jobs overnight. To be safe, cancel at least 48 hours before your renewal date.
Escalation: what to do if charges continue after cancellation
If a charge appears on your statement after you have received cancellation confirmation, escalate systematically and document every step.
Step one: contact Checkmyfile support with your cancellation proof
Email Checkmyfile support immediately, attaching your cancellation confirmation email and the screenshot of the success page. Write: "I cancelled my subscription on [date] and received confirmation. A charge of £16.99 (RM93.45) appeared on [date]. Please explain this charge and reverse it immediately." Give them 5 business days to respond.
Step two: dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer
If Checkmyfile does not respond or refuses to reverse the charge, contact your bank's dispute resolution team. Provide them with your cancellation confirmation, the unexpected charge, and your email correspondence with Checkmyfile. Your bank can file a chargeback on your behalf. In Malaysia, your bank's dispute team is regulated by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).
Step three: escalate to consumer authorities
If your bank's dispute is unsuccessful or if Checkmyfile actively refuses to honour your cancellation, you may file a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP) or the Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations (FOMCA). Yafee recommends providing these authorities with the full email trail, all screenshots, and a statement explaining how the company violated the Consumer Protection Act 1999 by charging after explicit cancellation.

Comparison: Checkmyfile versus alternatives
If you are considering whether cancelling Checkmyfile is the right choice, this comparison helps you understand your alternatives.
| Service | Cost (monthly) | Agencies covered | Trial period | Cancellation ease |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Checkmyfile | £16.99 / RM93.45 | Experian, Equifax, TransUnion (UK-based) | 7 days free | Online + email |
| Individual agency reports (free) | RM0.00 | One agency per request | N/A | One-time only |
| Local Malaysia credit bureaux | Variable | Local Malaysian data | Varies by provider | Local support available |
| Direct agency portals | RM0.00 to RM100+ | One per service | Rarely offered | Direct contact required |
| International credit bureaux services | £8-£25 | Multiple international agencies | 14-30 days common | Varies widely |
| Bank-provided credit reports | RM0.00 (with account) | Limited, bank-specific | On-demand | Integrated into banking app |
Why cancelling may be the right choice for you
Cancellation makes sense if any of these situations apply: you completed the task you signed up for (checking before a loan application), you found the interface confusing or unhelpful, you prefer checking individual credit agency portals instead, your bank already provides credit reports, or the monthly charge no longer justifies the value to you.
Yafee helps thousands of Malaysian consumers understand their subscription rights and execute cancellations without losing money to oversight or hidden charges. If you are unsure whether you are making the right decision, review your usage over the past month: did you log in and check your credit report? Did the alerts help you identify errors or fraud? If the answer is no, cancellation is a straightforward financial choice.
Your next steps and contact information
After you have cancelled, monitor your email and bank statement for the next 60 days. If an unexpected charge appears, follow the escalation steps outlined above without delay.
