Professional Services

When you pay for professional services, you have a clear legal right to walk away if the service isn't working for you. Whether it's a CV builder that hasn't landed you interviews or a career coach whose advice feels generic, you don't have to stay locked in. Tocancel makes the process simple: you fill in your details online, and we print, stamp, and post your cancellation letter by registered mail — no printer, no stress.

Your consumer rights

In Ireland, the Consumer Rights Act 2022 protects you when you buy professional services. This means any service provider must deliver work of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and performed with reasonable care and skill. If your career consulting or interview coaching falls short, you have the right to dispute fees or request a refund.

Notice periods

Check your contract for the required notice period before cancelling. Many services ask for 30 days' written notice, but this varies. If the provider has breached their obligations, you may not need to give any notice at all.

Refunds

You can request a refund for work not yet delivered or for services that don't meet the quality promised. If the provider refuses, your complaint can be escalated to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), which enforces these rights in Ireland.

Common reasons to cancel

Life changes quickly, and your professional services should adapt with you. Here are the most common reasons people choose to cancel.

Service quality doesn't deliver

Your CV should make recruiters take notice, and your interview coaching should genuinely build your confidence. If the CV building service you paid for doesn't resonate with employers, or the career coaching feels off-the-shelf rather than tailored, you're right to reconsider. Many people cancel when the promised results simply never materialise.

Your circumstances have changed

You might secure a new job unexpectedly, pivot your career direction entirely, or face tighter finances that make monthly subscriptions unsustainable. Each of these shifts can make professional services feel unnecessary. There's no shame in ending a service when your situation changes.

Better alternatives exist

The professional services market is crowded with options. If you've found a cheaper CV writer, a more specialised career coach, or a job matching service that fits your goals better, switching is a smart move. Your career investment should always feel like money well spent.
