They were able to log on to my account and correct any problems that I was having. All I had to do was push Refresh and it was done! The Resume Check is also a great feature.

It was going great, but I didn't realize I would have to pay for the finished resume. It wasn't a huge deal, since it was only about $3. I spend more than that on coffee everyday. Thank you.

Their website makes it easy enough to use up until the payment. It would not let me continue past to the payment option and that is the only way to print your resume. It basically lets you put all the time in of making your resume perfect and then takes five hours to actually get your resume and be able to print it. So after and hour of trying to get help from the site they told me I would have to call their number to get my 2 dollar transaction through. Finally I get through to someone after being hung up on and then calling back. I give them all my bank info and tell them what plan I want, then the person says ooh sorry we are an international business and you have to call your bank and then call us back. I call my bank to approve the transaction and they say this company based out of san francisco is using banking in germany? So I approve and call the company back I'm connected through then some one hangs up on my call, I call again and a lady answers and half way through the call after I explain what happened she hangs up on me! So then I call back once more and a man puts me on hold for 10 minutes and I finally get my resume printed after this five hour process. So I guess if you have enough time it is a good tool to use but if you dont have time to waste I would say dont do it.

Hi Jo C.,

I’m very sorry that the lines were being disconnected, this may be due to some technical issues. Rest assured that this issue has been taken care of.

As an international company, LiveCareer processes payments from all over the globe through our e-commerce provider located in London UK. Some banks decline international transactions unless you contact them and let them know that you are OK with the transaction for LiveCareer.

We are very committed to providing great customer service and again are very sorry that you had this experience. We take all feedback very seriously. It will be forwarded to our Technical team. Please contact me if you have any further issues. Please email me at anna.b@livecareer-support.com

FREE RESUME?! You can't get something for nothing! I went through the entire process of building a resume from scratch(including going to get my transcript) and then could not print it or save MY resume. When I decided $1.95 wasn't too much(making sure I cancelled account per directions) the transaction wouldn't go through. The following day I got a call from my credit union regarding FRAUD as the company is APPARENTLY based in the UK. I had to call the FRAUD dept. at my credit union to clear that transaction and verify recent activity. STEER CLEAR!

Hi Sheryl,

Thanks for your comments.

Our free account allows you to create resume and cover letter and make use of our templates, designs and text tuner samples, but the ability to print, email, or download your resume are only listed as a feature of the paid subscription and are not listed as a feature of the free account. At this time we offer free text (. Txt) download of your resume.

Sheryl, a call from your credit card company does not necessarily mean the vendor who is attempting to charge the card is fraudulent. Credit card companies are systematic in monitoring accounts and sometimes flag a transaction if it is out of the normal pattern of spending by the consumer. Yes, our payment processor is in the UK, but it was not a fraudulent one.

Sheryl, we make cancelling really easy as we give 4 ways to cancel a subscription if service is no longer be needed: By calling our customer service number at 1-888-816-0576, 17 hours a day, 7 days a week; by live chat, by e-mail at customerservice@livecareer.com, or you can even go to our website, where there is a self-cancellation feature under the “My Account” section.

Please contact us as soon as possible so that we may resolve this issue.

Best regards,

LiveCareer

Over the years I have used multiple sites such as LiveCareer for document or form needs with no issues. I have no complaints with the actual products they offer. They were adequate for my needs. However, I would use one of the many other sites for the simple reason I had no problem with stopping charges from those others. With Live Career I have been continually charged despite canceling multiple times through their website. Unfortunately I was not diligent in following up to make sure I had or kept proof of this, as like most people, I have limited time to waste concentrating on what I perceived as such a simple transaction. So my warning to would be users is if you do cancel online save every email you receive, take screen shots of conformation pages and be extremely diligent in verifying your account has truly been canceled. The only way I was able to finally get charges stopped was to call them direct and that was even a trying and frustrating endeavor and quite frankly annoying that it required such action.

Laura T. – LiveCareer Rep

Hi James D.,

I’m very sorry that you encountered cancellation issues online. Please contact me directly with the email address you used to create your account or the last 4 digits of the card that used to purchase and card holder’s name so that I can take a look at it personally and resolve this issue quickly for you. Please email me at anna.b@livecareer-support.com

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

DON'T EVER USE THIS SITE! IT'S A SCAM! I bought the 14 day trail for three dollars, but I was lucky and caught onto the "monthly renewal" scam. So I called a week after purchasing my resume and cancelled it. Then I check my bank statement and see a 35 dollar charge! I called and couldn't get a hold of anyone. FINALLY, I was able to reach someone. I explained that I had already cancelled my account but I was still being charged. The lady was so rude and disrespectful. She said that her records don't show it as cancelled, so I MUST BE LYING! I demanded that she cancel my account and that I wanted a refund. She told me I wasn't going to get a refund and hung up on me. I finally canceled my account again through their live chat service but I am beyond furious with this. It's such a scam and I will be contacting authorities as well as my brother, who is an attorney. This company is not going to get away with this.
