Don't like learning at the end of the process that this would be a monthly billed purchase. The free templates ad is misleading.

Thank you, Shannon, for sharing your thoughts with us, and our apologies for any misunderstanding.

To clarify, we offer two types of accounts, the first one being a basic access account that gives you the chance to try out our builder before deciding to purchase our premium features, this account allows you to download a plain text version completely free. We also provide a full access account for a small fee that grants you 14-days to print, email, or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the free account.

In addition, we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our 14-day trial if you are not satisfied with our services.

They withdrew $36.00 automatically three times in less than one month and a half! They are no better than common criminals!
Stay away.

Dear Jim,

We’re sorry that you did not see that our subscriptions are auto-renewing if not canceled. We state this on every page in the purchase process and send the date and amount of the auto renewal following the initial purchase. We don’t see how you could have been charged the monthly rate of $34.95 unless you inadvertently created multiple accounts. Please contact our customer service staff at 1-888-816-0576 anytime between the hours of 6am and midnight, Eastern Time so that we can assist you.

Best Regards,

LiveCareer.

The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 is because unless you keep your subscription, you cannot edit your resume at all.

They lure you in with a low initial price then don't tell you that once that trial time is up they are going to charge $40.00 per month.

Laura T. – LiveCareer Rep

Dear Ben,

Thanks for your comments.

We take great care in letting our customers know what they are subscribing to. The initial charge is only good for 14 days, which auto-renews at a monthly rate of $34.95. We are very clear that when you subscribe there is an auto-renewing feature for which you can cancel anytime. Aside from these details, we also sent a payment confirmation to the e-mail address that you’ve used when you signed up, stating the amount of what you have subscribed for and the date of the auto-renewal.

We also provide many ways in which you can cancel. You can cancel by calling our customer service team which is open 18 hours a day, 7 days a week at toll free 1-888-816-0576, by live chat or by e-mail to customerservice@livecareer.com. There is even a self-cancellation feature under “My Account” on our website.

Best Regards,

LiveCareer

This is the worst company. I was informed I was only going to be charged 1.95 for the one resume. I was charged 39.95 for a month after 14 days. I called for a refund thinking it would be simple. They refused to give me a refund. The customer service rep hung up on me, after saying she was the supervisor and that there was nobody above her I could speak to. She said they have a no refund policy, which I agreed to when I paid the $1.95 for the one resume. HERE IS THEIR REFUND POLICY AS POSTED IN THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

REFUND POLICY

ResumeGenius.com provides a full refund to customers who are still within their 14-day trial subscription term. Customers who wish to redeem a refund must contact customer service prior to the end of their trial subscription term either by calling customer support at *******048, emailing *******@resumegenius.com, or by using live chat via ResumeGenius.com.

NO WHERE DOES IT SAY NO REFUNDS.

This place is a scam. I called my bank to dispute the charges and we will see how that goes.

Tip for consumers:
DONT.
