How to cancel myperfectcv in nigeria and protect your money

What is myperfectcv and why nigerians use it

Myperfectcv is an online CV and cover letter builder that helps you create professional job application documents without starting from scratch. The service offers ready-made templates, editing tools, and a premium subscription tier with additional features like cover letter customisation and document formatting options.

The platform positions itself as a time-saving solution for job seekers across Nigeria and beyond. You access everything through a web account, and the company often promotes short paid trials followed by automatic renewal charges to your card. At Stopee, we've helped thousands of Nigerians understand exactly how these trial-to-paid conversions work and how to cancel before unexpected charges hit your account.

How myperfectcv sells its service in nigeria

Access is straightforward: you create a web account, and the company offers promotional trials at a low introductory rate. The catch is that these trials convert automatically to paid subscriptions unless you cancel within the trial window. Billing and account management happen through your online dashboard or by contacting their customer service team. Many Nigerians don't realise the auto-renewal clause until they see a charge on their bank statement weeks later.

Pricing, plans and what you actually pay

Understanding Myperfectcv's pricing structure helps you decide whether cancellation is the right move and what refund window you have available.

Current pricing for nigerian users

The service operates with a tiered pricing model built around trial periods and auto-renewal. Below is what you need to know about charges:

Warning: Exchange rates fluctuate, so NGN amounts vary. The key point is that your trial automatically converts to a full monthly subscription unless you cancel before day 14. At Stopee, we recommend marking your calendar the day you sign up so you don't miss the cancellation window.

Why you might want to cancel myperfectcv

There are several legitimate reasons why Nigerians decide to cancel their Myperfectcv subscription.

Common reasons to cancel

• You finished your job applications and no longer need the service.
• You forgot to cancel your trial before the auto-renewal date and want your money back.
• You found a free alternative or prefer another CV builder.
• You noticed charges on your bank statement that you didn't authorize.
• The subscription no longer offers value for your career stage.
• You want to stop recurring charges and use your money elsewhere.

Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to ensure you cancel successfully and recover any money you're entitled to under Nigerian consumer protection law.

How to cancel myperfectcv: step-by-step methods

You have two main options to cancel your Myperfectcv subscription, and we recommend the web account method because it gives you instant proof.

Method 1: cancel via your online account (recommended)

This is the fastest way to cancel and generates an instant confirmation email you can save as proof. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Go to the Myperfectcv website and log in with your email and password.
   • If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link to reset it before proceeding.
2. Click on your account menu (usually in the top right corner of the dashboard).
   • Look for "My Account," "Account Settings," or "Profile" - the exact label varies.
3. Navigate to "My Settings" or "Subscription" settings.
   • Some accounts show this under "Billing" or "Plans."
4. Look for an "Online cancel" link or "Cancel subscription" button.
   • Click it and follow the on-screen prompts. The system may ask why you're cancelling - answer honestly so Myperfectcv understands customer needs.
5. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
   • Read any final warning carefully to ensure you're cancelling the right subscription.
6. Save the cancellation reference number displayed on screen and in your confirmation email.
   • Screenshot this page or download the email for your records. This is your proof of cancellation.

Pro tip: The entire process usually takes 2-3 minutes. Don't rush; read each screen carefully to avoid cancelling the wrong item or missing a refund option.

Method 2: cancel by contacting customer service

If the online method doesn't work or you prefer direct contact, reach out to Myperfectcv's support team.

1. Compose an email to customerservice@myperfectcv.co.uk.
   • Use a clear subject line: "Request to cancel my subscription" or "Subscription cancellation."
   • Include your full name, email address associated with the account, and account number (if you have it).
   • State your cancellation request clearly: "I request the cancellation of my subscription effective immediately."
   • Mention the date you signed up and the date you want the cancellation to take effect.
2. Send the email and save a copy in a folder for your records.
   • Use a personal email account you check regularly so you don't miss their reply.
3. Wait for a reply - this usually takes 2-5 business days.
   • Customer service should send you a cancellation confirmation or reference number.
4. Reply to their email and ask them to confirm the exact date your subscription ends.
   • This prevents confusion about whether you're charged again in future billing cycles.
5. Save all emails, reference numbers, and confirmation messages in a folder titled "Myperfectcv Cancellation" on your computer or phone.
   • You may need these if you need to dispute a charge later.

Warning: If Myperfectcv doesn't reply within 7 days, try calling their customer service line if a phone number is available. If neither method works, escalate to your bank or card issuer - we'll cover that below.

Method 3: cancel through your bank or card issuer (if myperfectcv ignores you)

If Myperfectcv fails to cancel your subscription or continues charging you after cancellation, you have consumer rights under Nigerian law.

1. Contact your bank or card company and explain the situation.
   • Tell them you cancelled the subscription but Myperfectcv continued charging you.
   • Provide the dates of unauthorised charges and any evidence (screenshots, cancellation confirmation email).
2. Ask your bank to flag the transaction as a dispute or unauthorised charge.
   • Nigerian banks can reverse charges and investigate merchant disputes on your behalf.
3. Your bank will usually contact Myperfectcv and demand proof that you authorised the charge.
   • Since you have a cancellation confirmation, Myperfectcv cannot justify the charge.
4. The bank will typically reverse the charge within 10-30 days, depending on their dispute process.
   • Keep all communication from your bank in your records.

This method is your safety net. At Stopee, we've seen it work countless times for Nigerians fighting unauthorised subscription charges.

What happens after you cancel myperfectcv

Cancellation doesn't end immediately - you need to understand what changes and what doesn't after you submit the cancellation request.

Access and billing after cancellation

When you cancel via the web dashboard, you receive a cancellation reference email. Your subscription typically remains active until the end of your current billing cycle - so if you paid on the 1st of the month and cancel on the 15th, you usually keep access until the 1st of the next month. After that date, your account reverts to free-tier access or closes entirely, depending on Myperfectcv's policy.

Pro tip: Download all your CVs and cover letters immediately after cancelling. Don't wait until the last day of access - technical glitches happen, and you want your documents safely stored on your computer.

Auto-renewal and future charges

The whole point of cancelling is to stop future charges. Once your current billing cycle ends, Myperfectcv should not charge you again. However, check your bank statements for the next 2-3 months to ensure no surprise charges appear. If you see a charge after the end date you agreed with customer service, contact them immediately and escalate to your bank if they don't refund you within 7 days.

At Stopee, we recommend setting a phone reminder for the 1st of the month following your cancellation date. Check your bank statement that day and look for any Myperfectcv charges. If nothing appears, you're clear.

Account data and information preservation

Myperfectcv's terms govern what happens to your account data after cancellation. Your profile, CV drafts, and cover letters may remain stored in your account (in archived form) or be deleted, depending on their policy. If you want your account completely deleted, send a separate request to customerservice@myperfectcv.co.uk asking for account deletion and data removal under data privacy regulations. Save their response as proof of your request.

Will you get a refund from myperfectcv

Refunds are the question every Nigerian customer asks when they cancel, and the answer depends on when you cancel and why.

The 14-day trial refund window

Myperfectcv charges approximately £2.95 (₦1,500-₦1,800) for a 14-day trial. If you cancel within those 14 days, you are entitled to a refund in most cases. However, the refund is not automatic - you must request it from customer service.

When you contact them, explain that you want to cancel and receive a refund because you cancelled within the trial period. Myperfectcv usually processes refunds back to your original card within 5-10 business days if they approve your request. Keep the confirmation email showing the refund has been initiated.

Pro tip: Count your 14 days carefully. If you signed up on 1 January, day 14 is 14 January. Don't assume you have until midnight on day 15 - cancel by the end of day 14 to be safe.

Refunds after the trial ends (month 2 onwards)

Once your trial converts to a paid subscription (day 15 onwards), Myperfectcv rarely refunds unused subscription time. If you paid £16.95 on 15 January and cancelled on 20 January, the company will typically say the subscription fee is non-refundable. This is a common complaint, but it's the standard policy for most subscription services.

However, if you can prove you were charged in error - for example, the charge was unauthorised or you cancelled the trial but Myperfectcv still charged you - you have grounds to request a refund or dispute the charge with your bank.

Your consumer rights under nigerian law

Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2018 protects you as a consumer. Key provisions include:

• The right to accurate information about goods and services before purchase.
• The right to protection against misleading advertising or hidden charges.
• The right to cancel subscription services if terms are not clear or if you were misled.
• The right to receive a refund if a service is not delivered or is faulty.

If Myperfectcv misled you about auto-renewal, didn't clearly state the trial period, or continued charging after you cancelled, you can file a complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). Document everything first - screenshots, emails, bank statements - and contact the FCCPC through their website or by visiting their Lagos office.

At Stopee, we've seen the FCCPC successfully pressure subscription services to issue refunds to Nigerian consumers who had legitimate complaints. Your consumer rights are real and enforceable.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid

Cancelling a subscription sounds simple, but small errors can leave you stranded without proof or still being charged.

Mistake 1: assuming the cancellation is complete without saving proof

You click "cancel," see a confirmation screen, and think you're done. Three weeks later, a charge hits your account and you panic - but you have no proof you tried to cancel. Always screenshot the confirmation page and save the confirmation email. These are your ammunition if you need to dispute with your bank or escalate to the FCCPC.

Mistake 2: cancelling through the wrong account

If you have multiple email addresses or accounts, make sure you're logged into the correct one. Cancel the subscription under the email address you used to sign up. Cancelling under a different account leaves your original subscription active and still charging.

Mistake 3: missing the 14-day trial window

The trial period is your refund window. If you cancel on day 15, Myperfectcv will likely refuse a refund. Mark your calendar the day you sign up. Set a phone alarm for day 13 or 14 as a reminder to cancel if you don't want to be charged.

Mistake 4: trusting a cancellation confirmation from customer service without following up

An email from customer service saying "we've cancelled your subscription" is not always reliable. Check your bank statement on the date you expect the cancellation to take effect. If you see a charge, contact them again immediately with your original cancellation email as evidence. The FCCPC takes repeated billing after cancellation very seriously.

Mistake 5: not preserving your CVs and cover letters before access ends

After cancellation, your access to the platform ends on a specific date. If you haven't downloaded your documents, you lose them. Download everything the day you cancel - don't assume you'll remember to do it later.

Checklist: before, during and after cancellation

Use this checklist to stay organised and protect yourself:

Contact information and escalation for myperfectcv

If standard cancellation methods fail or you believe you've been wrongfully charged, here's how to escalate:

Myperfectcv customer service channels

• Email: customerservice@myperfectcv.co.uk - This is your primary contact point for cancellations, refunds, and disputes.
• Web account: Log in and use the online cancellation tool under Account Settings → Subscription.
• Parent company address (if postal contact is necessary): Myperfectcv is owned by a parent company with registered addresses in Puerto Rico and Luxembourg. However, no Nigeria-specific postal address is publicly listed. This is a red flag - contact Stopee or the FCCPC if the company refuses to respond to your email within 7 days.

Nigerian consumer protection escalation

If Myperfectcv ignores you or refuses to honour your cancellation or refund request:

• Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC): File a complaint at www.fccpc.gov.ng or visit their office in Lagos. Include all evidence: screenshots, cancellation confirmation emails, bank statements showing unauthorised charges, and copies of any communication with Myperfectcv.
• Your bank or card issuer: File a dispute for unauthorised charges. Your Nigerian bank can reverse charges and investigate on your behalf.
• Stopee community: Stopee (stopee.com) has helped thousands of Nigerian consumers cancel subscriptions and recover money through dispute escalation. Our guides and resources are designed to empower you with the exact steps and evidence templates you need.

Pro tip: The FCCPC takes subscription abuse seriously and will contact the company on your behalf if you file a formal complaint. Always give Myperfectcv a reasonable chance to respond (7-10 days) before escalating to the regulator, but don't wait if they ignore you repeatedly.

Summary and next steps

Cancelling Myperfectcv in Nigeria is straightforward if you know the steps and protect your interests.
