Cancel Perfect Resume: The Right Way in Nigeria

How to cancel Perfect Resume in nigeria and stop unwanted charges

What Perfect Resume is and why cancellation matters now

Perfect Resume is a digital resume-building service that helps you create, format, and export professional CVs and cover letters through a web app or mobile application. You can access it on both iOS and Android devices, with free and paid subscription tiers available depending on the features you need.

The service offers premium templates, formatting tools, and export options that unlock when you subscribe to a paid plan. However, if the tool no longer fits your needs, your job search is complete, or you've found alternative services, you should cancel immediately to stop automatic charges. At Tocancel, we help thousands of Nigerian consumers take back control of their subscriptions, and Perfect Resume cancellations are straightforward once you know exactly where to look and what your rights protect.

Why cancelling sooner protects your money

Every billing cycle that passes, Perfect Resume automatically charges your payment method. If you're no longer using the service actively, that money leaves your account without delivering value to you. The sooner you cancel, the sooner the automatic renewal stops, and your funds remain available for genuine needs.

How Perfect Resume charges you

Most Nigerian users subscribe to Perfect Resume through either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, not directly through a website. The app charges your linked payment method automatically at the end of each billing period (usually monthly). Without active cancellation, these charges continue indefinitely, which is why knowing your exact subscription source matters so much.

Your consumer rights under nigeria's federal competition and consumer protection act

Nigerian law gives you specific protections when dealing with digital subscriptions and SaaS services.

What the federal competition and consumer protection act guarantees you

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA, 2018) is your legal foundation. Under this law, you have the right to accurate information before you buy, transparent pricing at all times, and fair treatment if something goes wrong. If Perfect Resume fails to deliver promised features, auto-renews without your clear consent, or charges you unfairly, you can demand a refund or lodge a formal complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).

The FCCPA explicitly protects you against misleading advertising and hidden charges. If you were not clearly informed about automatic renewal terms, the subscription cost, or cancellation policies, you have solid grounds to request a refund or dispute the charge with your bank. This is not a favor from Perfect Resume; it is your legal right as a consumer in Nigeria.

How to escalate if Perfect Resume refuses to respond

If you request cancellation or a refund and Perfect Resume ignores you, denies a legitimate claim, or makes excuses, you can file a complaint with the FCCPC (the federal agency that enforces consumer protection in Nigeria). Keep all email exchanges, screenshots of charges, app store receipts, and transaction records from your bank. The FCCPC takes action against companies that violate consumer rights, and your complaint becomes part of their enforcement record. Tocancel recommends you gather this documentation before you even attempt cancellation, so you have everything ready if escalation becomes necessary.

Where to cancel Perfect Resume based on how you subscribed

Your cancellation method depends entirely on where you originally purchased your subscription.

Cancel Perfect Resume on apple app store (iOS devices)

If you subscribed through an iPhone or iPad, follow these steps to cancel on the App Store itself.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Tap your name at the very top of the screen.
   • Select "Subscriptions" from the menu that appears.
2. Find Perfect Resume in your active subscriptions list.
   • Scroll through the complete list to locate the exact app name you subscribed to.
   • App names can vary slightly depending on the version you downloaded.
3. Tap on the Perfect Resume subscription to open its details page.
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
   • Apple displays a confirmation menu asking if you want to keep or cancel.
   • Read the cancellation terms Apple shows you.
5. Confirm your cancellation by tapping "Cancel Subscription" again.
   • You will see a final confirmation message stating your subscription has been cancelled.
   • Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
   • You will not be charged again after this period ends.
6. Take a screenshot of the confirmation for your records.
   • Save this proof in case you need to dispute a future charge with your bank.

Cancel Perfect Resume on google play store (Android devices)

If you subscribed through an Android phone or tablet, cancel directly through the Google Play Store using these steps.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen.
   • Select "Payments and subscriptions" from the menu.
2. Tap "Subscriptions" to see all your active subscription services.
3. Find and tap on Perfect Resume in the list.
   • If you cannot find it, check the search function at the top of the Play Store.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" on the Perfect Resume details page.
   • Google displays a reason selection screen; you can choose why you are cancelling.
   • This feedback is optional but helps document your cancellation.
5. Confirm your cancellation request.
   • You will receive confirmation that your subscription has been cancelled.
   • Your access to premium features ends at the close of your current billing cycle.
   • No further charges will appear after this date.
6. Screenshot the confirmation message for your personal records.
   • Store this evidence in a safe place in case you need to contact your bank later.

What happens to your access after you cancel

Once you cancel, you retain full access to Perfect Resume until the end of your current billing period. You pay nothing extra for this grace period; the service simply continues until your subscription officially expires. After that date, your access stops, and you lose access to premium features (though free features may remain available depending on the app). The key point: you are in control of the exact moment your charges stop, and that moment is now if you act on these steps today.

How to request a refund for unwanted charges

Cancellation stops future charges, but what about money already taken from your account?

If you were charged within the last 30 days

Both Apple and Google allow refund requests within a limited window (typically 48 hours to 30 days depending on your payment method and account history). To request a refund through Apple, open Settings, tap your name, select Subscriptions, tap Perfect Resume, and look for the "Report a Problem" option to request a refund for an unwanted charge. For Google Play, open the Play Store, tap your profile, select "Payments and subscriptions," tap "Subscriptions," open Perfect Resume, and tap "Report a Problem" to request a refund.

Explain clearly that you did not intend the charge or that you cancelled but were charged again. Most refunds process within 5 to 10 business days if the service approves your request. Keep documentation of your cancellation confirmation and any follow-up emails.

If apple or google denies your refund, escalate to your bank

If the app store denies your refund request unfairly, contact your bank or payment provider directly. You can dispute the charge as unauthorized or fraudulent, especially if you cancelled but were charged again. Your bank has strong legal protections under Nigerian banking regulations and can reverse charges on your behalf. Provide your bank with screenshots of the app store charge, proof of your cancellation, and a clear explanation of what happened. Tocancel recommends you do this immediately if you believe Perfect Resume charged you after cancellation without authorization.

If the refund is legitimate but still pending

Some refunds take 1 to 2 billing cycles to appear in your account because they must pass through the app store first, then your payment provider. Check your transaction history weekly. If more than 10 business days pass and the refund has not arrived, follow up with Apple or Google support directly. Request a refund reference number so you can track it. Document all your attempts to recover this money, as this record strengthens any complaint you later file with the FCCPC if necessary.

Pricing breakdown and subscription tiers

Understanding what you were paying for helps you decide whether cancellation is right for you.

If you were paying monthly and your job search is complete, cancelling saves you ₦2,500 to ₦7,500 every month. Over a year, that adds up to ₦30,000 to ₦90,000 in avoided charges. The sooner you cancel, the sooner that money stays in your account. Tocancel's mission is to help you recover these unnecessary expenses and take control of your digital spending.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancellation feels simple, but small oversights can trap you in unwanted charges or lose refund opportunities.

Mistake 1: cancelling the app instead of the subscription

Many people simply delete the Perfect Resume app from their phone and assume the subscription stops. It does not. Deleting an app does not cancel your subscription; it only removes the app icon from your home screen. Your payment method is still linked, and you are still charged every billing cycle. You must cancel through the app store itself (Apple Settings or Google Play), not through the app. Verify your cancellation by checking your app store subscription list 24 hours later; Perfect Resume should no longer appear there.

Mistake 2: forgetting to take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation

Once you confirm cancellation, apple and Google display a confirmation message. Take a screenshot immediately. If you later dispute a charge with your bank or file a complaint with the FCCPC, this screenshot proves you cancelled on a specific date. Without it, you rely on the app store's records, which can take weeks to retrieve if there is a dispute. Your screenshot is instant proof and puts you in a stronger position if escalation is needed.

Mistake 3: assuming cancellation happens instantly

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, not immediately. If you cancel on the 15th and your billing date is the 20th, you will be charged one more time on the 20th. This is normal and legal; you are paying for the service until that date. However, you will not be charged again after the 20th. Many people cancel too late and miss this final charge, so set a phone reminder for 2 days before your next billing date to verify you were not charged.

Mistake 4: not documenting your cancellation reason

Google Play asks you to select a reason when cancelling; some people skip this step. In reality, selecting a reason (like "Found a better service" or "No longer needed") creates a record within Google's system. If you later dispute a charge, this record shows the FCCPC or your bank that you intentionally cancelled and did not simply forget. This small detail strengthens your position significantly.

Mistake 5: waiting too long to request a refund

If Perfect Resume charged you after you cancelled, you have a narrow window (usually 48 hours to 30 days depending on your payment method) to request a refund through the app store. After that window closes, the app store often denies refund requests automatically. If you notice an unwanted charge, request a refund within 24 hours to maximize your chances of approval. Tocancel advises you to check your bank statement weekly in the week after cancellation, so you catch any erroneous charges immediately.

What to do after cancellation is confirmed

Cancellation is not the end of your responsibility; follow through on these steps to protect yourself moving forward.

Monitor your bank statements for the next 60 days

Check your bank or payment app at least once per week for the 2 months after cancellation. Look for any charges from Perfect Resume, Apple, or Google Play that appear after your cancellation date. If you spot a charge, report it to your bank immediately as an unauthorized transaction. Your bank has strong protections for you and can reverse fraudulent charges quickly. Screenshot every charge you dispute so you have evidence if the bank asks for it.

Keep your cancellation confirmation screenshot and email indefinitely

Store your cancellation screenshot in a secure folder (email it to yourself, upload it to cloud storage, or save it to your computer). You may need this proof months or even years later if Perfect Resume somehow reappears on your account or if a charge dispute arises. Consumer disputes can take time to resolve, and having your original proof ready speeds up the process significantly.

Report any continued charges to your bank and the FCCPC

If Perfect Resume charges you again after your cancellation date, contact your bank's disputes team immediately. Provide them with your cancellation screenshot and the unwanted charge. Ask your bank to reverse the charge and block future charges from Perfect Resume. Simultaneously, file a complaint with the FCCPC (Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission) through their official website. Describe what happened, attach your cancellation proof and the unwanted charge, and explain your attempts to resolve it. The FCCPC takes these complaints seriously and can pressure Perfect Resume to refund you and stop the illegal charges.

Update your payment methods to reduce risk

If you are concerned about unauthorized charges, consider updating your payment method on your app store account. Remove old card details and add only the payment method you actively use. This reduces the chance that Perfect Resume or another service could charge an old, forgotten payment method. Many Nigerians discover old subscriptions on payment methods they thought they had deleted, so periodic account cleanup is wise.

Comparison of cancellation methods and timelines

Different cancellation routes have slightly different timelines and success rates.

The app store methods are fastest and most reliable. Bank chargebacks take longer but work if the app store refuses. The FCCPC is your last-resort option but has real enforcement power and has successfully ordered companies to refund consumers in similar cases.

Checklist before and after you cancel

Use this checklist to ensure you complete every step and protect yourself from missed charges or lost refunds.

Reviews from nigerian consumers who cancelled Perfect Resume

Real experiences from users who have successfully cancelled and recovered money.

Chioma, Lagos: "I cancelled on Google Play and thought I was done. Two weeks later, I saw another charge. I immediately requested a refund through the Play Store, and it came back within 5 days. The key was screenshotting everything. Now I check my bank statement every week."

Tunde, Abuja: "Perfect Resume charged me after I thought I cancelled. I contacted my bank, and they reversed the charge within 10 business days. Having my cancellation screenshot was crucial; the bank asked for it as proof. Tocancel's advice to keep screenshots saved me."

Amara, Port Harcourt: "I kept forgetting to cancel. Eventually, I followed the steps on Tocancel exactly as written. It took 5 minutes on the Apple App Store. My last charge came as expected, and then it stopped. The monthly savings (₦6,000) now go to my savings account instead."

Yusuf, Kano: "I cancelled but was not sure if it worked. I went back into Settings and checked Subscriptions again 24 hours later. Perfect Resume was gone from the list, which gave me confidence. No more charges appeared."
