Cancel Xscan: Step-by-Step Instructions

How to cancel Xscan and stop recurring charges in malaysia

What Xscan is and why you might want to leave

Xscan is a subscription-based document scanning and management service sold as software-as-a-service (SaaS) in Malaysia. You pay monthly to access advanced scanning, document organisation, and file retrieval features. The service operates on recurring billing, which means charges hit your account automatically each month until you cancel.

Many users in Malaysia sign up for Xscan expecting a straightforward scanner tool, then find the cancellation process unclear or the charges keep running longer than expected. That frustration is real, and you have the right to cancel whenever you choose. Your cancellation right is protected under Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999, which guarantees your right to terminate a service contract without penalty after a cooling-off period or once you've received what you paid for.

How Xscan charges work in malaysia

Xscan offers recurring monthly subscription plans and occasional one-time payment options. Your subscription may be billed directly to your credit or debit card, or through Apple App Store or Google Play if you subscribed via mobile. The amount shown on your statement is converted from USD to Malaysian ringgit (MYR), so exchange rate fluctuations or card fees can make your actual charge differ slightly from the advertised price.

Support for Xscan users in Malaysia is available only in English through their help page at xscan.com/help or by email at [email protected]. Response times are within Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM GMT (5:00 PM to 2:00 AM Malaysia time), so replies may arrive outside your normal working hours.

Who should cancel Xscan

You should cancel Xscan if you no longer use the scanning features, if you've found a cheaper alternative, if the service doesn't meet your document management needs, or if you're concerned about your data privacy after cancellation. You may also want to cancel if you subscribed by mistake or if charges have continued despite your expectation they would stop.

Before you cancel, export or download any documents stored in Xscan. There is no published statement confirming how long Xscan retains your files after subscription ends, so treating cancellation as your last chance to save your data is the safest approach.

Your consumer rights when cancelling Xscan

Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 gives you strong rights over subscription services like Xscan. You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time, and once you cancel, no further charges should be applied.

Your legal position

Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date you subscribe to cancel without giving a reason, as long as the service hasn't been fully delivered. If you've already used Xscan's services and want to cancel after that period, the company cannot force you to continue paying. They can only charge you for services you've already received up to your cancellation date.

If Xscan continues to bill you after you cancel, that's a breach of contract and unfair trading practice. You can lodge a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), which enforces consumer protection in Malaysia. Document every charge, save your cancellation confirmation, and keep copies of your bank statements showing unwanted transactions.

What happens if Xscan refuses to cancel

If you've followed the cancellation steps and Xscan does not stop charging you within 5 to 7 business days, contact the company again by email and request written confirmation of cancellation. If they don't respond or keep billing, file a complaint with the MDTCA (1-800-886-800 or www.mdtca.gov.my). You can also dispute the charge with your bank as an unauthorised transaction if Xscan bills you after confirmed cancellation.

Your right to cancel is protected by law, and Xscan cannot legally force you to continue a subscription you no longer want.

Methods to cancel Xscan

Your cancellation route depends on where and how you subscribed to Xscan. Each method has a different process, so start by identifying which channel you used.

Cancel Xscan through your account online

If you signed up directly on Xscan's website with your email and card, this is your main cancellation route. Log into your Xscan account, navigate to your account settings or profile, then look for Billing, Subscription, or Manage Plan. Select your active plan and choose Cancel Subscription or similar. Xscan may show a retention offer or discount to keep you; ignore it if your goal is to stop all charges. Continue through to the final confirmation screen and take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation message showing the date and time.

Visit Xscan Help at xscan.com/help if you cannot find the cancel button in your account menu. If the website doesn't offer a clear cancellation option, email [email protected] with your account email, current plan name, and a direct request to cancel immediately and confirm in writing.

Cancel Xscan through apple app store

If you subscribed via Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, cancellation happens in the App Store, not in Xscan directly. Open the App Store app, tap your profile icon (top right), select Subscriptions, find Xscan, and tap Manage. Select Cancel Subscription and confirm. Apple will send you a cancellation receipt. Your Xscan access ends at the end of your current billing cycle.

Cancel Xscan through google play

Android users who subscribed via Google Play must cancel through Google Play as well. Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, select Subscriptions, find Xscan, tap it, and select Cancel Subscription. Confirm the cancellation. Google Play sends a confirmation email; save it as proof.

Before you cancel

Refunds and what happens after you cancel

Understanding refund eligibility and your account status after cancellation helps you avoid surprises.

Refund policy for Xscan subscriptions

Xscan's refund policy is not published in the available source data, so treat the following as typical for SaaS subscriptions in Malaysia. You are not entitled to a refund for the current billing cycle if you cancel partway through unless you are within the 14-day cooling-off period from purchase and have not substantially used the service.

If you cancel before your next billing date and no charge has been applied, you owe nothing further. If Xscan has already charged you for the next cycle and you cancel within 14 days of that charge, you may request a refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Contact the MDTCA if Xscan refuses.

If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, those platforms handle refunds, not Xscan directly. Request a refund through the app store within 14 to 48 hours of the charge; after that window, store refund eligibility depends on your reason and the store's policy.

After you cancel Xscan

Once you cancel, Xscan should deactivate your subscription immediately and stop all charges. You may lose access to your documents and advanced features right away, or access may remain until the end of your current billing cycle, depending on Xscan's terms. Check your confirmation email for the exact date access ends.

Check your bank or card statement 7 to 10 days after cancellation to confirm no new charge appears. If a charge does appear after you've cancelled, that's unauthorised billing. Contact your bank immediately to dispute it and mark it as fraudulent or unauthorised. Simultaneously, email Xscan again with your cancellation confirmation and demand a refund, copying the MDTCA on your email if the company doesn't respond within 5 business days.

Do not re-download the Xscan app or log back in after cancellation unless you plan to resubscribe, as accidental re-engagement could restart your billing.

Xscan pricing and plan comparison

Knowing what you're paying helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move or if a downgrade might suit you better.

If cost is your only concern, you might downgrade to a cheaper plan instead of cancelling entirely. Log into your account, select your plan, and choose Downgrade instead of Cancel. This keeps your documents safe but reduces your monthly bill.

Common mistakes when cancelling Xscan

Many people cancel Xscan only to discover they made a misstep that leaves them still being charged or data lost. Here are the traps to avoid.

Mistake 1: not saving your documents before cancelling

Once you cancel, Xscan may delete your scanned files immediately or after a grace period. There is no guarantee of long-term retention after cancellation, so export all documents before you press cancel. Download them as PDF or image files to your computer or cloud storage. You cannot retrieve them after the account is closed.

Mistake 2: cancelling only in the app, not in your account or app store

If you subscribed via the Xscan app (not the website), closing the app does not cancel your subscription. You must cancel through Apple App Store, Google Play, or your Xscan account settings. Deleting the app also does not stop billing. Charges will keep hitting your card until you formally cancel through the subscription channel.

Mistake 3: not checking your bank statement after cancellation

Even after you cancel, Xscan may send one more charge for a renewal that was already scheduled. Check your statement 7 to 10 days later. If an unexpected charge appears, dispute it with your bank immediately and forward your cancellation confirmation as evidence to the MDTCA if Xscan refuses to refund.

Mistake 4: assuming a retention offer means you're still subscribed

When you cancel, Xscan may show a discount or offer to stay. Scrolling past this and completing cancellation does not mean you've accepted the offer; it confirms your cancellation. Do not second-guess yourself. Finish the cancellation flow and wait for the final confirmation message.

Mistake 5: not keeping cancellation proof

Screenshot every confirmation page, save every cancellation email, and note the date and time. If Xscan bills you again and claims you never cancelled, your screenshots and emails are your proof. Without evidence, disputing a charge with your bank becomes harder.
