How to cancel my perfect resume and stop recurring charges

What is my perfect resume and why people cancel

My Perfect Resume is an online resume and cover letter builder that helps job seekers create professional documents using templates, guided suggestions and downloadable formats. The service operates on a freemium model: you can access basic features at no cost, but the premium trial converts automatically to a paid subscription unless you cancel within the trial window. Many users sign up for the discounted 14-day trial, download their resume, and then discover they are charged recurring fees if they do not actively stop their subscription. At Stopee, we have seen this pattern repeat across thousands of consumer reports, and we want you to feel confident taking control of your account.

Common reasons people cancel my perfect resume

You may decide to cancel My Perfect Resume for several legitimate reasons. The most frequent trigger is unexpected recurring charges after a short trial period ends. Other users finish their resume and realise they no longer need ongoing access to the service. Some discover equivalent free tools, or find that the templates and wording suggestions do not meet their expectations. The real challenge is not deciding whether to cancel; it is navigating the actual cancellation process without confusion or delay. Stopee exists to remove that friction for you.

Unexpected charges and auto-renewal traps

My Perfect Resume explicitly advertises that your trial converts to a recurring subscription automatically unless you cancel before the trial ends. This is legal under consumer law in Ireland, provided the company clearly discloses the terms. However, many users report that they did not receive reminder notifications, or that the cancellation process itself was unclear or appeared to fail. If you are charged without authorisation after you believed you had cancelled, you have consumer rights. Stopee recommends taking screenshots of every step you complete during cancellation, so you have proof if a dispute arises.

Subscription plans and pricing for my perfect resume

Below is the current pricing structure for My Perfect Resume, based on official information available to Irish consumers.

What each plan includes

The free tier gives you access to resume and cover letter builders with limited design options and download formats. You can create a document, but exporting in premium formats (PDF with advanced styling) is restricted. The premium trial grants you 14 days of full access: all templates, expert-written content suggestions, and unlimited downloads in any format. Once your 14 days end, your subscription renews automatically every four weeks at the recurring rate unless you cancel. Stopee advises treating the trial end date as a hard deadline to take action; do not assume the service will remind you.

Your consumer rights and what they mean for you

As an Irish consumer, you are protected by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Distance Selling Regulations 2001 (as retained and amended post-Brexit). These laws give you the right to cancel any subscription or trial within a specified period, typically 14 calendar days from the date you first became liable for charges.

The 14-day cancellation window under irish law

Irish consumer law entitles you to withdraw from a distance contract (including online subscriptions) within 14 calendar days without penalty, provided you notify the trader in writing or through a method they explicitly accept. My Perfect Resume must honour cancellation requests submitted within this window, even if you do so after your trial period has technically ended. If the company charges you after you cancel within the 14-day window, you can request a full refund. Document your cancellation request with a date and time stamp, and keep a copy for your records.

What to do if my perfect resume ignores your cancellation request

If you submit a cancellation request and My Perfect Resume continues to bill you, you have several escalation options. First, contact your bank or card provider and explain that you cancelled the subscription but were charged anyway. Your bank can dispute the transaction and may reverse the charge. Second, if the company refuses to refund you after you have formally cancelled, you can lodge a complaint with the Irish competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). Stopee recommends filing a complaint if the company becomes unresponsive; the CCPC takes subscription abuse seriously.

How to cancel my perfect resume step by step

Cancellation is fastest and most reliable when you take action through your My Perfect Resume account before your trial period ends.

Method 1: cancel through your online account

1. Visit the My Perfect Resume website and log into your account using your email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, click the "Forgot password" link and reset it before proceeding.
2. Navigate to your account menu, usually located in the top-right corner or under a hamburger icon.
   • Look for sections labelled "My Account", "Account Settings", "Manage Account" or "Billing".
3. Select "Subscriptions", "Billing", or "Manage Subscription" (exact wording varies).
   • You should see your active subscription listed with the renewal date.
4. Click "Cancel subscription", "Cancel renewal" or similar.
   • Warning: The service may display a retention offer (discount, free extension) at this point. If you are certain you want to cancel, ignore this and proceed.
5. Follow the confirmation prompts and agree to cancel.
   • The system should display a confirmation message or send you an email confirming the cancellation.
6. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page and save any confirmation email in a folder labelled "My Perfect Resume cancellation".
   • Pro tip: Forward this confirmation email to yourself with the subject line "Cancellation confirmation: My Perfect Resume" so it stays visible in your inbox.

Method 2: contact customer support directly

If you cannot find the cancellation option in your account, or if the online cancellation appears to fail, you can cancel by email or contact form.

1. Visit the My Perfect Resume website and locate the "Contact us", "Support" or "Help" section.
   • Look for a contact form, email address or live chat option.
2. Select email as your contact method so you have a written record.
   • Avoid phone-only support if possible; email creates a permanent paper trail.
3. Write a clear, brief cancellation request:
   • Subject line: "Request to cancel My Perfect Resume subscription"
   • Body: Include your full name, email address associated with the account, and the date your trial began. Write: "I request immediate cancellation of my My Perfect Resume subscription effective today. Please confirm cancellation in writing and ensure no further charges are applied."
4. Send the email and note the date and time you sent it.
   • Warning: If you do not receive a response within 5 business days, resend the request and mark it as urgent.
5. Save every response from the company, even if it is just an automated acknowledgement.
   • If the company denies your request or ignores you, escalate to your bank or the CCPC.

Method 3: cancel through your payment method

If you cannot access your My Perfect Resume account or the company does not respond, you can prevent future charges by instructing your bank or card provider to block recurring payments from My Perfect Resume.

1. Contact your bank by phone or online banking portal.
   • Explain that you wish to cancel a recurring payment to My Perfect Resume.
2. Ask your bank to revoke the payment mandate or recurring authorisation.
   • This stops future charges immediately.
3. Request written confirmation from your bank showing the cancellation date.
   • Save this confirmation for your records.
4. Still contact My Perfect Resume in writing to formally notify them of your cancellation.
   • Pro tip: Bank-side cancellation is a safety net, not a substitute for directly cancelling with the company. Stopee recommends doing both.

Timeline and what happens after you cancel

Understanding what to expect after you cancel removes uncertainty and helps you stay on top of any unexpected charges.

Immediate aftermath of cancellation

Once you have successfully cancelled, you should receive a confirmation email within minutes or hours. This email is your proof of cancellation; do not delete it. Your access to premium features may be cut off immediately, or you may retain access through the end of your current billing cycle (whichever the company's policy dictates). Check your My Perfect Resume account within 24 hours to confirm your subscription no longer shows as "active" or "renewing".

Billing cycle and refund eligibility

If you cancel during your 14-day trial period, you are entitled to a full refund under Irish consumer law. My Perfect Resume should refund your trial charge within 14 calendar days of your cancellation request. If you cancel after the trial period ends but before your first auto-renewal charge, you will not be charged again. However, if the company has already charged you for the next renewal, you may be entitled to a refund if you cancelled within 14 days of that charge.

Monitoring your bank statement

After you cancel, monitor your bank statement or credit card for the next two billing cycles to confirm no further charges appear. If My Perfect Resume charges you after you have cancelled, contact your bank immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank can dispute the charge and request a chargeback within 120 days of the transaction.

How to request a refund if you were charged after cancellation

If you discover a charge from My Perfect Resume after you believe you cancelled, act quickly to recover your money.

Step 1: request a refund from my perfect resume directly

Email the company's support address with the subject line "Refund request: unauthorised charge on [date]". Include your cancellation confirmation email (if you have it), the date of the unwanted charge, and your bank transaction reference number. Ask for a full refund and request written confirmation within 7 days. Stopee advises being polite but firm; companies are more likely to process refunds without friction if you document the issue clearly.

Step 2: dispute the charge with your bank

If My Perfect Resume does not refund you within 7-10 days, contact your bank. Explain that you cancelled the subscription but were charged anyway. Provide your cancellation email as evidence. Your bank can file a dispute on your behalf and recover the money within 120 days of the transaction. This is faster and more reliable than waiting for the company to respond.

Step 3: escalate to the irish competition and consumer protection commission

If you have been overcharged repeatedly, or if the company refuses to acknowledge your cancellation, lodge a formal complaint with the CCPC. You can file a complaint online at www.ccpc.ie. Provide copies of your cancellation request, the company's responses (or lack thereof), and your bank statement showing unwanted charges. The CCPC can investigate and compel the company to refund you.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Cancellation can feel frustrating when things go wrong, but most problems are preventable if you know where people trip up.

Mistake 1: assuming the trial automatically ends

The biggest trap is believing your trial simply expires on its own. My Perfect Resume will renew your subscription automatically unless you explicitly cancel. "Inactivity" is not cancellation. You must take action yourself, or charges will follow. Set a calendar reminder for two days before your trial ends, and cancel on that day.

Mistake 2: cancelling without confirmation

If you click "cancel" and the system shows a confirmation page, that is good. But if the page goes blank, refreshes, or shows an error message, your cancellation may not have gone through. Do not assume it worked. Log out, log back in, and check whether your subscription still shows as active. If it does, try cancelling again through email.

Mistake 3: using a weak or vague cancellation request

If you email the company, write clearly: "I request cancellation of my My Perfect Resume subscription effective immediately." Avoid phrases like "I no longer want this" or "Please stop charging me." The company needs a clear cancellation instruction to process it correctly. Stopee recommends using the exact wording above so there is no ambiguity.

Mistake 4: relying only on payment method changes

Cancelling your subscription is not the same as updating your payment method. If you give the company an expired card, they will keep trying to charge you, and you will accumulate failed payment attempts. Always formally cancel with My Perfect Resume first, even if you also block the payment at your bank.

Mistake 5: not keeping evidence

Screenshots and saved emails are your insurance policy. Without proof that you cancelled, you cannot dispute unwanted charges effectively. Store cancellation confirmations in a folder on your computer or cloud drive labeled "Subscription cancellations".

What to do after cancellation

You have cancelled, but your work is not quite finished. A few follow-up steps ensure your cancellation sticks.

Check your account one week later

Log back into My Perfect Resume one week after cancellation. Your subscription should no longer show as active or renewing. If it still appears as active, contact support immediately and ask for clarification. This is a sign your cancellation may not have processed.

Monitor your next billing cycle

Check your bank statement on the date your next renewal would have occurred (usually four weeks after your trial charge). If no charge appears, your cancellation worked. If a charge does appear, immediately dispute it with your bank and provide your cancellation confirmation.

Save your resume before access ends

If you are mid-way through creating a resume, download and save your document before your access expires. Once your subscription is cancelled, you may lose access to draft resumes stored in the My Perfect Resume platform. Export your resume as a PDF and save it to your computer.

Reviews and what other users say

Customer feedback for My Perfect Resume is mixed. Users consistently praise the template quality and the speed of document creation. The templates are professional, the guided content suggestions are helpful, and download options are generous. However, reviews also reveal a recurring frustration: billing and cancellation processes. Multiple users report discovering unexpected recurring charges, feeling confused about when to cancel, or experiencing slow refund responses from customer support. Some users describe having to dispute charges with their bank because My Perfect Resume support did not answer cancellation requests promptly. Stopee has reviewed these patterns and found them consistent across multiple independent review platforms. The company appears to process refunds correctly when users escalate, but the initial response time can be slow.

What satisfied customers say

Users who report positive experiences highlight the ease of building a professional resume in under an hour, the quality of the output, and the value of the templates. Several users mention successfully cancelling without friction and receiving refunds. These users typically took action early (within the trial period) and contacted support proactively rather than waiting for a problem to emerge.

What dissatisfied customers say

Critical reviews focus on surprise charges, difficulty reaching support, and delays in cancellation confirmation. Some users report being billed weeks after they believed they had cancelled. A smaller subset report being charged even after providing cancellation requests to support. These users often succeeded only after disputing charges with their bank or filing complaints with consumer authorities. Stopee notes that many of these problems could have been avoided with clearer communication and earlier intervention.

Comparison: my perfect resume versus free alternatives

You might be wondering whether My Perfect Resume is worth the subscription cost, especially given the cancellation friction some users experience. Here is how it compares to free alternatives available in Ireland.

When my perfect resume is worth the cost

If you value professionally designed templates, expert-written content suggestions, and a guided experience, the premium trial is worth EUR 2.50. For most job seekers, 14 days is more than enough time to create and download a polished resume. You can then cancel and use the document indefinitely without paying again. This model works if you take cancellation seriously and act before renewal.

When free alternatives are better

If you are cost-conscious or concerned about recurring charges, Canva's free tier offers similar templates with no subscription risk. Google Docs is the best choice for a simple, no-frills resume. Neither requires cancellation, and both let you create unlimited documents for free. Stopee recommends testing a free option first; if you need more polish, you can always upgrade to My Perfect Resume for the trial period only.

Cancelling My Perfect Resume is straightforward if you know the process and follow a few critical steps. Here is a checklist to keep you on track.
