Cancel Coursiv: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel Coursiv and stop recurring charges in malaysia

What Coursiv is and why you may want to cancel

Coursiv is a subscription-based online learning platform focused on artificial intelligence skills, structured challenges, and professional certificates. The service offers structured learning paths, practical toolkits, and completion certificates, including a popular 28-day AI Challenge marketed as personalized learning.

For Malaysia users paying in ringgit, the critical fact is this: you signed up for a recurring subscription, not a one-time course purchase. This means charges will continue unless you actively cancel before your next billing date.

What you are paying for

When you subscribe to Coursiv, you gain access to AI courses, guided challenges, learning toolkits, and account-based study content. The platform also provides a personalized study plan and a completion certificate if you finish the course material. Your value depends on consistent use-many subscribers stop engaging after the first few days but continue to be charged.

Common entry points include a low introductory price (often around RM94 for a 4-week plan) followed by automatic renewal at higher rates. If you see a Coursiv charge on your bank statement and do not recall setting up a long-term commitment, you likely enrolled in a subscription flow rather than purchasing a standalone programme.

Coursiv's presence in malaysia

Coursiv does not maintain a published Malaysian office, registered address, or local customer support line. The company is based in Limassol, Cyprus, and handles all customer service through an online help centre and email at [email protected]. There is no live chat, no Malaysian phone number, and no official Malaysian ringgit pricing displayed on the main website.

This matters for cancellation because if support becomes difficult, you will need clear written records. Before you cancel anything, save your payment proof, screenshots of your current plan, and your billing history-these documents are your evidence if a dispute arises and Tocancel or Malaysia's consumer authority needs to intervene.

Your consumer rights under malaysian law

Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects you when you buy goods or services. Under this law, traders (including online subscription services) must supply services with due care and skill, clearly disclose charges upfront, and allow you to cancel with reasonable notice.

Crucially, the Act requires traders to make cancellation straightforward and to honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe. If Coursiv continues to charge you after you have cancelled, or if cancellation steps are deliberately hidden or unclear, the company is in breach of consumer protection rules.

Your legal position at a glance

You have the right to cancel your Coursiv subscription at any time. The company must process your cancellation before your next billing cycle, refund any charges made after your cancellation request, and confirm the cancellation in writing. If Coursiv ignores your cancellation or delays processing it, you can lodge a complaint with the Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCL), which enforces consumer protection standards.

Tocancel recommends keeping copies of every cancellation request, confirmation email, and bank statement showing charges after cancellation-these records are essential if you need to escalate to MDTCCL or dispute the charge with your bank.

Cancellation methods: which route applies to you

Your cancellation method depends on where and how you subscribed to Coursiv. If you signed up on the web, you cancel through Coursiv's support system. If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through those platforms, not through Coursiv's website.

Identify your subscription source

Before you start cancelling, open your bank statement or payment history and note where the charge originates. Look for one of these descriptions:

• Coursiv (indicates web subscription)
• Apple or App Store (indicates iPhone or iPad subscription)
• Google Play (indicates Android phone or tablet subscription)
• PayPal, Stripe, or another payment processor (usually means you subscribed via the Coursiv website)

This distinction is crucial because cancelling through the wrong channel will not stop your charges. For example, cancelling on the Coursiv website will not work if you subscribed through Apple-you must cancel inside the App Store itself.

Cancellation channels and timeframes

Tocancel has found that cancellation timeframes vary by method. Web cancellations through the support centre typically take 2-5 business days. App Store and Google Play cancellations are usually instant, though the final charge may still process if you cancel close to your billing date.

In all cases, aim to cancel at least 3-5 days before your next billing date to avoid an unexpected charge. Your subscription page should clearly show when your next renewal is due-if you cannot find this date, contact support immediately before attempting to cancel.

Step-by-step cancellation instructions

Follow the method that matches your subscription source. Each route is straightforward if you follow the steps in order.

Cancel via coursiv's web support centre (direct web subscribers)

If you subscribed directly on coursiv.com using a credit card or PayPal, use this method:

1. Log in to your Coursiv account at coursiv.com
   • Use the email address associated with your subscription
   • If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot password" link to reset it
2. Go to your account settings or subscription management page
   • Look for a "Subscription", "Billing", or "Manage Plan" option in your account menu
   • Note your next billing date and current plan name-take a screenshot
3. Visit Coursiv's official unsubscribe guide at support.coursiv.io/en/support/solutions/articles/73000621190-how-do-i-unsubscribe-
   • Read the full unsubscribe article to understand your account's specific cancellation process
4. Submit a cancellation request through the support centre form
   • Include your account email, subscription plan name, and cancellation reason (optional but helpful)
   • Request written confirmation of your cancellation
5. Wait for a confirmation email from [email protected]
   • This should arrive within 24 hours
   • If no confirmation arrives within 48 hours, send a follow-up email with a copy of your original request
6. Save all confirmation emails and screenshots of your account showing "Cancelled" or "Inactive" status
   • These are your proof of cancellation if a charge appears later

Once you receive written confirmation that your subscription is cancelled, your account will remain active until your current billing period ends, but you will not be charged again.

Cancel via apple app store (iPhone or iPad subscribers)

If you see charges from "Apple" or "App Store" on your bank statement, cancel inside the App Store itself-do not try to cancel through Coursiv's website:

1. Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad
   • On iPhone 13 or later, tap the profile icon in the top-right corner
   • On older models, tap the account icon at the bottom-right
2. Tap "Subscriptions" from the menu
   • This shows all active subscriptions under your Apple ID
3. Find and tap "Coursiv" in your subscriptions list
   • If Coursiv does not appear, your subscription may already be cancelled or the charge may come from a different source
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription"
   • Apple will ask you to confirm-select "Confirm" or "Yes"
   • You may see an option to continue-if you want to cancel immediately, do not tap it
5. Check for a cancellation confirmation screen
   • Apple should show "Subscription Cancelled" or a similar message
   • Screenshot this screen as proof
6. Review your account to verify the Coursiv subscription no longer appears under active subscriptions
   • It may show as "Expired" or disappear entirely

Your Coursiv access will continue until the end of your current billing period. No charge will be applied after that date. Tocancel recommends saving a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation from Apple as evidence.

Cancel via google play (Android phone or tablet subscribers)

If your charges come from "Google" or "Google Play", cancel through Google Play, not through Coursiv:

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
   • Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner
2. Tap "Payments and subscriptions"
   • This opens your subscription management page
3. Tap "Subscriptions" to see all active subscriptions
   • Scroll to find Coursiv
4. Tap "Coursiv" to open its subscription details
   • You will see your plan name, price, and next billing date
   • Screenshot this page for your records
5. Tap "Cancel subscription" at the bottom of the screen
   • Google may ask for a cancellation reason-this is optional
   • Confirm your decision when prompted
6. Look for a cancellation confirmation message
   • Google should show "Subscription cancelled" or a similar notification
   • Take a screenshot as proof

Your Coursiv access will end at the close of your current billing period. No future charges will occur. Keep your cancellation confirmation screenshot for your records.

What happens after you cancel Coursiv

Cancellation can feel uncertain because the service does not always make the aftermath clear. Here is what to expect in the days and weeks after you submit your cancellation request.

Your access and account status

When you cancel Coursiv, your account does not disappear immediately. You retain access to course materials and your progress until the end of your current billing period. After that date, your account will be deactivated and you will no longer be able to log in or download course content.

If you want to preserve your course progress, certificates, or learning materials, download or export them before your final billing date ends. Coursiv does not clearly specify how long your data is retained after cancellation, so acting early is wise.

When your final charge will be processed

If you cancel before your next billing date, no further charge will be applied. However, if you cancel within 24 hours of your billing date, your payment processor may have already processed the charge. In that case, contact [email protected] immediately with your cancellation confirmation and ask for a refund of the unearned portion.

Monitor your bank account for 5-7 days after cancellation to confirm no new Coursiv charge appears. If a charge does appear after you have cancelled, this is a breach of the Consumer Protection Act 1999-document it and escalate to MDTCCL.

What to do with your account credentials

After your subscription fully ends, you can delete or archive your login credentials. If you plan to rejoin Coursiv in future, keep your account username and password in a secure location. If you do not plan to return, delete any saved payment methods from your Coursiv account through your account settings before your final access period ends.

Tocancel recommends keeping your account login details for at least 6 months after cancellation in case you need to provide proof of your subscription history or usage to support a dispute with your bank or MDTCCL.

Refunds: what you are entitled to and how to claim

Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 entitles you to a refund if Coursiv fails to provide the service or continues charging after cancellation. Your refund rights depend on when you cancel and the terms you agreed to.

Refunds for immediate cancellation

If you cancel within a few days of your subscription start date, you may qualify for a full refund of your opening payment. However, Coursiv's official terms do not clearly state a refund window or guarantee. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, email [email protected] with the following:

• Your account email address
• Subscription plan name and price
• Date of purchase
• Reason for cancellation (e.g., "Did not use the service" or "Charged by mistake")
• A polite request for a refund of your full opening payment

Keep a copy of this email. Support typically responds within 2-3 business days. If they refuse, you can appeal through Tocancel's guidance on how to escalate consumer disputes.

Refunds for charges after cancellation

If Coursiv charges your account after you have cancelled, you are entitled to a full refund of that unwanted charge under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. This is not a discretionary refund-it is your legal right.

To claim, follow this sequence:

1. Gather your evidence
   • Your cancellation confirmation (email or screenshot)
   • Bank statement showing the unwanted charge
   • Any follow-up emails to support about the charge
2. Email [email protected] with the subject line "Refund request: charge after cancellation"
   • Include all evidence and a clear statement that you cancelled before the charge date
   • Request a full refund and a refund timeline (e.g., "I expect a refund within 10 business days")
3. Wait 5 business days for a response
   • If support grants the refund, note the refund reference number and expected processing time (usually 5-10 business days)
   • If support denies the refund or does not reply, move to step 4
4. File a dispute with your bank if the refund is not processed
   • Contact your bank's customer service and explain that you cancelled before the charge date
   • Provide your cancellation proof and the charge screenshot
   • Your bank will contact Coursiv and investigate
   • The bank will usually refund you within 10-20 business days
5. Report the issue to MDTCCL if Coursiv refuses to refund or your bank cannot help
   • Lodge a complaint at mdtcc.gov.my with all documentation
   • MDTCCL can order Coursiv to issue a refund and may impose penalties on the company

Your right to a refund for unauthorized charges is protected by law. Do not assume silence from Coursiv means you have no claim-Tocancel has supported thousands of consumers in recovering unwanted charges by escalating through banks and the regulator.

Pricing breakdown and what you should have been told

Understanding Coursiv's pricing helps you verify you were charged correctly and identify hidden charges. Below is a typical pricing structure based on public information:

Coursiv does not display official Malaysian ringgit pricing on its website. If your bank statement shows a charge in a different currency (e.g., USD), your bank will have applied a conversion rate, which may include a markup. Compare the USD amount on your Coursiv receipt to the RM amount on your statement-if the conversion appears unfair, your bank can explain the rate used.

Crucially, any introductory price (like RM94) should have been followed by clear disclosure of the renewal price and date. If you were not shown this information before confirming payment, Tocancel recommends requesting a refund on the grounds that Coursiv failed to disclose material terms clearly.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling Coursiv

Cancellation feels simple until something goes wrong. Many Malaysian subscribers fall into these traps-awareness can save you time and money.

Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong channel

If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play but try to cancel on the Coursiv website, your cancellation will not work. Your subscription will continue and charges will continue because the platforms operate independently. Always cancel where you subscribed: App Store users cancel in the App Store, Google Play users cancel in Google Play, and web subscribers cancel through Coursiv's support centre.

Tocancel sees this mistake repeatedly-verify your payment source on your bank statement before clicking cancel.

Mistake 2: cancelling too close to the billing date

If your billing date is tomorrow and you cancel today, your payment may already be processing. Cancellation requests submitted within 24 hours of a billing date often arrive too late to stop that charge. Aim to cancel at least 3-5 business days before your next billing date.

If a charge appears after your cancellation, it is not your failure-it is Coursiv's or your payment processor's responsibility to honour your timely cancellation request. Document it and claim a refund.

Mistake 3: not saving confirmation of your cancellation

If you cancel through the Coursiv website but receive no confirmation email within 24 hours, you have no proof the request was processed. Screenshots of confirmation screens disappear if you close your browser. Always wait for an email from [email protected] and save it to a folder on your computer or cloud storage.

Without written confirmation, if Coursiv claims they never received your cancellation request, you have no defence. Save everything.

Mistake 4: ignoring a charge after cancellation

If you see a Coursiv charge on your statement after cancelling, do not assume it is an error that will resolve itself. Contact support immediately and escalate to your bank if Coursiv does not refund within 5 days. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to dispute the charge.

Your Consumer Protection Act 1999 rights are strongest when you act quickly. Tocancel advises contacting support within 48 hours of any unexpected charge.

Checklist: before and after you cancel

Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly and retain evidence of your cancellation.

After cancellation, monitor your bank account for 7 days to confirm no new charge appears. If a charge does appear, reply to your cancellation confirmation email or contact support immediately with proof of your cancellation.

When to contact the malaysian consumer regulator

If Coursiv refuses to cancel your subscription, continues charging after cancellation, or denies a refund you are entitled to, escalate to the Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCL).

The MDTCCL enforces the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and can order companies to refund charges, compensate you for losses, and pay penalties. You can lodge a complaint at mdtcc.gov.my or contact your state's consumer protection office directly.

Provide the MDTCCL with your cancellation confirmation, bank statements, and evidence of your attempts to resolve the issue with Coursiv. The regulator will investigate at no cost to you and typically responds within 30 days.
