Cancel MyPerfectResume: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel MyPerfectResume and claim your refund: the UK consumer's complete guide

Why you might want to cancel MyPerfectResume

MyPerfectResume helps UK job seekers build CVs and cover letters, but your circumstances change. You've landed the role you wanted. You've found free alternatives that serve you better. Or you've realised you're being charged every month for a trial subscription you forgot about weeks ago.

Whatever reason brought you here, you have clear legal rights on your side. Your job is to act decisively, understand what you're entitled to, and take control of your finances. Tocancel has helped thousands of UK consumers navigate exactly this situation, and you can resolve this quickly.

Common reasons UK users cancel

Job searches end. Once you've secured employment or completed your application round, paying for CV tools makes no financial sense. Some users discover that free platforms like Canva, Microsoft Word templates, or even Google Docs deliver equally professional results without the subscription cost. Others lose track of recurring charges entirely and only notice the repeated debits months later when they review their bank statement.

The trial-to-paid trap catches many subscribers off guard. You sign up for a 14-day trial at £1.95, intending to cancel before the full charge applies. Life gets busy, you forget, and suddenly MyPerfectResume charges you £19.95 to £24.95 for a month you never authorised. Tocancel helps you recognise these patterns and take immediate action to reclaim your money.

The financial impact of staying subscribed

A MyPerfectResume subscription costs between £19.95 and £24.95 monthly, depending on your chosen plan. Over a full year, that's £240 to £300 in charges for a service sitting unused in your account. Many subscribers don't spot these costs until they've been billed three, six, or even twelve times. Cancelling today stops all future charges and may unlock a refund for recent payments.

Understanding your consumer rights in the UK

UK law gives you specific, enforceable protections when you buy services online, and these rights apply directly to MyPerfectResume.

The consumer rights act 2015 and distance selling

When you purchase a service online or by phone, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 protects you. MyPerfectResume operates as a distance seller under this law, which means you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the moment you become aware of the charge. During this window, you can cancel without penalty, reason, or explanation, and you're entitled to a full refund.

Your legal position: If you cancel within 14 days of being charged, MyPerfectResume must refund you in full. After 14 days, the company can deduct a reasonable fee for services actually delivered, but only if the terms were made clear upfront. If the company made cancellation deliberately hard to find or buried the terms in fine print, you may have grounds for a full refund regardless of timing.

Your right to cancel recurring charges

Subscription services must make cancellation just as easy as sign-up. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 demands that you can cancel any ongoing service without jumping through hoops, paying termination fees, or ringing customer service lines that never answer. If MyPerfectResume requires you to phone during office hours, send a physical letter, or navigate a confusing online process, this is a potential breach of your rights.

If MyPerfectResume refuses to cancel your subscription or makes the process intentionally difficult, you can escalate to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or your local Citizens Advice Consumer Service for support. Tocancel guides you through this escalation if needed.

MyPerfectResume pricing and subscription plans

Understanding what you're paying for helps you decide whether to cancel and strengthens your refund argument.

If you signed up for a trial expecting to cancel automatically at day 14, Tocancel knows that many users miss this deadline. If you're charged more than once without explicit consent, you have strong grounds for a refund. Check your bank statements for the exact dates and amounts you were charged.

How to cancel MyPerfectResume: step-by-step

Follow these methods to cancel your MyPerfectResume account and stop all future charges.

Cancelling online through the website or app

This is the quickest and most straightforward method. Tocancel recommends starting here because you'll have immediate confirmation and a record of your cancellation request.

1. Log in to your MyPerfectResume account at myperfectresume.com using your email and password.
2. Navigate to Account Settings, usually found in the top right corner under your profile menu or in the main navigation.
3. Select "Subscription" or "Billing" from the left sidebar.
4. Click "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" and confirm you want to cancel.
   • If asked to provide feedback, record your reason briefly (e.g., "No longer job searching" or "Found free alternative").
   • Do not select "Pause" if you want to cancel permanently; select "Cancel".
5. You should see a confirmation message on screen. Take a screenshot of this confirmation.
6. Check your email inbox (including spam folder) within 5 minutes for a cancellation confirmation email. Save this email.
7. Log out and attempt to log back in. You should no longer have access to premium features.

Keep screenshots of both the on-screen confirmation and the email confirmation. These are your proof of cancellation if MyPerfectResume later claims you never cancelled.

Cancelling via email or postal request

If you cannot log in, don't have online access, or prefer a written record, contact MyPerfectResume directly in writing.

1. Prepare a brief, professional email or letter that includes:
   • Your full name
   • Your email address associated with the account
   • Your MyPerfectResume username (if you know it)
   • The subscription plan you want to cancel (e.g., "Premium Monthly")
   • Your request to cancel effective immediately
   • A statement that you want confirmation of cancellation in writing
2. Send this email to the customer support address listed on the MyPerfectResume website or account settings. Keep a copy for your records.
3. If you prefer postal mail, send the same information as a signed letter to:
   • MyPerfectResume (check their website footer or help section for the current UK address, as this may change)
4. Use Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed if sending by post. This costs a few pounds but provides proof of delivery.
5. Allow 5 to 10 working days for a response.

Tocancel advises keeping all correspondence. If MyPerfectResume charges you again after your cancellation request, this written evidence becomes crucial for disputing the charge with your bank.

Contacting customer support directly

If the above methods don't work or you receive no confirmation, escalate to customer support.

1. Search the MyPerfectResume website for a "Contact Us" or "Help" page.
2. Use the live chat feature if available, and ask: "How do I cancel my subscription permanently?"
3. Request a direct confirmation that your subscription has been cancelled and ask for it to be sent to your email.
4. Note the date, time, and name of the support representative you spoke to.
5. Take screenshots of the entire conversation if using live chat.

If support refuses to cancel your account or claims you cannot cancel online, this is a red flag. Document this refusal and escalate using the steps below.

What to expect after cancellation

Once you've cancelled, here's what should happen next.

Confirmation and access

Within 24 hours of your cancellation, MyPerfectResume should send you a confirmation email. Your account may remain visible when you log in, but you will no longer have access to premium features. The free version (if available) should remain available. If you still see charges in your bank account after 7 days, contact your bank immediately.

Refunds and pending charges

MyPerfectResume will not refund future months once you cancel. However, you may be eligible for a refund if:

• You cancel within 14 days of being charged (Consumer Rights Act 2015 cooling-off period).
• You were charged without clear consent (e.g., a trial converted to paid without adequate notice).
• You were charged multiple times in a single month due to an error.
• The company made cancellation deliberately difficult to find.

If any of these apply, contact MyPerfectResume to request a refund. Reference the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in your request. Allow 14 days for a response. If they refuse, escalate to your bank or the Financial Conduct Authority.

Claiming a refund: your legal rights

You may be entitled to money back, and Tocancel helps you understand when and how to claim it.

Refunds within 14 days

If you cancel within 14 days of your first charge, you have an absolute right to a full refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. MyPerfectResume cannot charge you for services used during a trial or early subscription period. Submit a refund request in writing via email, quoting the 14-day cooling-off period, and attach your cancellation confirmation.

Refunds after 14 days

After 14 days, MyPerfectResume can retain a reasonable fee for services already provided. However, if the company didn't make cancellation easy, failed to send clear billing notices, or converted your trial without explicit consent, you have grounds to argue for a full refund. Tocancel recommends requesting a refund anyway and escalating if refused.

Disputing charges through your bank

If MyPerfectResume refuses to refund or cancel, you can dispute the charge with your bank. This process is called a "chargeback" in the UK and is your right under the Consumer Rights Act. Contact your bank and state that you requested cancellation and have proof, but the company is not honouring your request. Your bank will investigate and may reverse the charge.

Provide your bank with:

• Screenshots of your cancellation request
• The cancellation confirmation email from MyPerfectResume
• Your account statements showing the disputed charges
• Any correspondence with MyPerfectResume about the cancellation

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancelling a subscription is straightforward, but small errors can leave you vulnerable to continued charges. Here's what not to do.

Mistake 1: selecting "pause" instead of "cancel"

Some platforms, including MyPerfectResume, offer a "Pause Subscription" option that temporarily stops charges but keeps your account active. This is not cancellation. If you want to cancel permanently, explicitly select "Cancel Subscription". If you only pause, charges will resume automatically after 30 days or your specified pause period. Review your settings carefully before confirming.

Mistake 2: assuming an email confirmation is enough

A cancellation email is helpful but not guaranteed to stop charges if there's a processing delay. Log in to your account after cancellation and verify that premium access is gone. Check your bank statement 7 days later. If you're still charged, immediately contact your bank. Tocancel recommends taking screenshots of both on-screen confirmation and email confirmation as backup evidence.

Mistake 3: not keeping records

If MyPerfectResume charges you again after cancellation, you'll need proof that you requested cancellation. Screenshots disappear if your phone is replaced. Emails can be deleted. Save confirmation emails to a folder, print them, or forward them to a personal email account you're unlikely to delete. This takes 30 seconds and protects you for months or years to come.

Mistake 4: ignoring charges after cancellation

Some users assume that if they're charged again, it was a mistake that will sort itself out. It won't. If you're charged after cancelling, contact MyPerfectResume within 5 days to ask if it was an error. If they cannot explain or reverse it, escalate to your bank immediately. Your bank can reverse unauthorised charges for up to 120 days after the transaction, but not beyond.

Mistake 5: trying to cancel through a payment provider instead of MyPerfectResume

You might think you can cancel your subscription by stopping payments through PayPal or your credit card company. This will stop the charge, but it won't formally cancel your MyPerfectResume account. The account remains active, and MyPerfectResume may eventually pursue you for the debt or flag your email as non-paying. Always cancel directly with MyPerfectResume, then verify the cancellation before stopping any payment methods.

Next steps if MyPerfectResume refuses to cancel

Most cancellations go smoothly, but if MyPerfectResume ignores your request, you have formal escalation paths.

Step 1: written notice

Send a formal written notice via email to MyPerfectResume's support address. State clearly: "I request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately. This is my formal notice under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Please confirm cancellation in writing within 7 days." Keep a copy and allow one week for a response.

Step 2: escalate to the financial conduct authority (FCA)

If MyPerfectResume is FCA-regulated (most UK subscription services are), you can lodge a complaint. Visit the FCA website, gather your evidence, and file a complaint citing the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The FCA will investigate on your behalf. Tocancel helps many UK consumers prepare these complaints, and the process takes 8 to 12 weeks typically.

Step 3: citizens advice consumer service

If the FCA can't help, contact your local Citizens Advice Consumer Service. They offer free advice and can help you understand your options, including small claims court if the amount is significant enough. For amounts over £500, a small claims action may be worth pursuing.

Step 4: chargeback through your bank

As a final step, contact your bank and request a chargeback for all unauthorised charges after your cancellation date. Your bank will reverse the charges while it investigates. This process is your consumer right and does not cost you anything. Provide all evidence of your cancellation request.

Comparison: MyPerfectResume versus free alternatives

Before cancelling, you might wonder whether the cost is worth it. Here's how MyPerfectResume compares to free options.

If you're comfortable using free tools and don't need ATS scanning, cancelling MyPerfectResume and switching to Google Docs or Canva makes financial sense. Most UK employers accept CVs created in either platform. Tocancel's view: unless you need that ATS scanner for a specific application, the free alternatives are sufficient.

Checklist: before and after cancellation

Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly and protect yourself from future charges.

Before you cancel

• Log in to your account and download any CVs or cover letters you want to keep (MyPerfectResume may delete them after cancellation).
• Check how long you've been subscribed to determine if you're within the 14-day refund window.
• Gather all dates and amounts you've been charged from your bank statement.
• Open a new folder on your computer to save all cancellation evidence.

During cancellation

• Take a screenshot of the on-screen confirmation message.
• Save the confirmation email to your folder (do not rely on email alone).
• Note the exact date and time of your cancellation request.
• If using customer support, record the name and contact method of the representative.

After cancellation

• Wait 7 days and check your bank statement to confirm no new charges appear.
• Log in again to verify that premium features are no longer accessible.
• If you requested a refund, allow 14 days for MyPerfectResume to process it.
• If charged after cancellation, contact your bank within 5 days (do not wait).

Reviews: what UK users say about MyPerfectResume

Real users share their experiences with MyPerfectResume's service and cancellation process.

Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars based on verified user feedback.

Positive feedback: Users praise the template variety, the step-by-step builder that requires no design skills, and the professional output. Many say MyPerfectResume helped them land interviews. The free tier is accessible for basic CV creation.

Negative feedback: The most common complaint is that users forget about trial subscriptions converting to paid plans and don't realise they're being charged. Some report that customer support responses are slow (3 to 5 working days). A few users found the cancellation process unclear or say they had to email support multiple times before their subscription was actually cancelled. This is exactly where Tocancel steps in to guide you through the process.

Cancellation feedback: Users generally report that online cancellation works quickly, but those who tried postal cancellation experienced delays of 2 to 3 weeks before charges stopped.
