Hi Giuseppe,
We’re sorry that you may have gotten the wrong impression of our service and subscription resume builder service. We would like to provide you some information which may clear up any concerns about your account:
Our free account gives you the opportunity to try out our resume and cover letter builder before deciding to purchase. The ability to print, email, or download your resumes and cover letters are features included in our paid subscription and not listed as a feature of the free account. You can download a plain text version of your resume for free. In order to use all premium features of the service, we offer customers a 14 day access for $1.95 USD and we indicate up front that it will auto renew after the 14 day period and that it can be canceled at any time. The auto renewal is listed with the features of the 14-day subscription on the sales page, as well as on the payment and confirmation pages. We also send a payment confirmation e-mail stating the date and amount of the auto-renewal. We do offer several ways to cancel including via phone, live chat, e-mail and self-cancellation in your Account Settings. If you have any additional concerns regarding your account, please feel free to contact us so we can provide with further assistance. Thank you!

Well when Google searching for a quick way to make a "FREE" resume and then be able to mail it for "FREE" this site doesn't live up to it's promise of "FREE" service and allows you to make a resume for free but they don't seem to tell you that unless you are just wanting to make a resume for $#*!s and giggles and think it's a fun way to pass time, that you're resume can only sit on the site and look pretty. I proceeded to call customer service and complain on the fact that they had WASTED 2 hours of my life making a resume only to find out that the "FREE" resume builder wasn't free and that you actually would need to get a subscription of either $2.95 14-Day Full Access or $7.95 Per Month. I resisted the urge to blow up on the woman on the phone as she told me that even though they say that their services are free that their Terms and Conditions clearly state that it's only free to create not send or show your resume. I'd like to say a big $#@! You to the makers of this sight and I hope they know that because of them wasting 2 hours of my life I have no interest in applying to this job anymore.
Sincerly-
A $#@! MAD 17 year old

This is a horrible company and a complete scam.

I cancelled my account within my 14-day trial period. However, they continued to bill me $39.80 for the next several months.

When I tried logging into my account, I wasn't able to since my account was deactivated. So even though I had a deactivated account, they continued to charge me.

When I contacted customer service through a chat session and told them about my issue, the first rep completely stopped responding. I closed my session and started a new one, where a rep named Nica Dizon stopped responding for a FULL 15 minutes, and didn't even apologize. She continued to insist that the charges were accurate, and there was no way I could get a refund. Once I asked for her employee #, she only then refunded one of my charges. Since she was completely unhelpful for removing the other charges, I had to call customer service where they took another 20 minutes to finally refund all of the charges.

I asked them if this is a common complaint, and they lied and said no. This is clearly a fraudulent business where even after you cancel your account, you continue to get charged, and they make you go through a hundred customer service loopholes just to get your money back.

TL; DR: DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE

Tip for consumers:
Do not enter your credit card information for this site.

Hi Ema H.,

I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our site and did not have the best customer service experience. Rest assured that this will be taken care of.
Deactivating an account means you will not be able to access any of your resumes, cover letters, or emails, and this action cannot be undone. However, cancellation stops the auto-renewal.

The refund that we issued was given as a courtesy credit.

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 Marketing and Customer Service team. Please contact me again if you have any further issues. Please email me at anna.b@livecareer-support.com

Best regards,

Anna
