How to cancel ResumeNerd in nigeria and protect your payment

What ResumeNerd is and why nigerians use it

ResumeNerd is an online resume-building platform that helps you create professional CVs, cover letters and career documents through templates, guides and coaching tools. You access it via their website or mobile app, and most features require a paid subscription. The service appeals to Nigerian job seekers looking for polished, competitive resumes that stand out to employers both locally and abroad.

How the subscription model works

You subscribe through ResumeNerd's website or via app stores (Apple App Store or Google Play). Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel. Charges appear on your bank card or payment method in Naira (NGN) if you use a local payment gateway, or in Euro/USD if you subscribe through the app stores.

Why nigerians are cancelling

Common reasons include unexpected recurring charges, features that don't match expectations, finding free alternatives, or simply completing your resume and no longer needing the service. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through a clean, documented cancellation that protects you from future charges.

Your consumer rights under nigerian law

You have statutory protections as a Nigerian consumer, even when dealing with overseas companies like ResumeNerd.

The federal competition and consumer protection act (FCCPA)

Nigeria's main consumer protection law-the FCCPA-gives you the right to accurate information about services, fair trading practices and a remedy if a business acts unfairly. The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) enforces this law and accepts complaints from Nigerian consumers. If ResumeNerd refuses to cancel, charges you incorrectly, or ignores your requests, you can escalate to the FCCPC. Stopee recommends keeping all proof of your cancellation attempts, as this strengthens any complaint you file.

Practical protection steps

Document everything: screenshots of login pages, cancellation confirmations, email receipts and cancellation numbers. If you paid by debit card or bank transfer, your bank itself may offer dispute resolution under the Central Bank of Nigeria's consumer protection guidelines. Write down dates and times of every contact attempt. This paper trail is your safety net if the company continues to charge you.

How to cancel ResumeNerd: step-by-step methods

You have three main routes to cancel, each with different success rates from Nigeria.

Cancelling via the ResumeNerd website (most reliable)

This is your strongest option because you create a documented record directly in your account and receive a cancellation number by email.

1. Open your web browser and go to ResumeNerd's website.
   • Log in using your email and password.
   • If you have two-factor authentication enabled, complete that step.
2. Locate your account settings.
   • Look for a user icon or profile menu, usually in the top-right corner of the screen.
   • Click it and select "Manage Account" or "Account Settings".
3. Find the subscription or billing section.
   • Scroll down until you see "Subscription", "Billing" or "Plans".
   • Click on it to view your active subscription details.
4. Click "Cancel Subscription" and follow the on-screen prompts.
   • The system may ask why you're leaving-you can skip this or provide feedback.
   • Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
5. Check your email immediately.
   • ResumeNerd should send a confirmation email within 5-10 minutes.
   • Look for a cancellation number or confirmation code.
   • Screenshot or print this email and save it to your files.
6. Verify the cancellation.
   • Log back in a few minutes later to confirm your subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive".

Pro tip: Cancel right after you receive your next billing notification. This gives you the clearest record of the date you acted and when your paid access should end.

Cancelling by email (for documentation and legal protection)

Email cancellation creates a written trail that Stopee strongly recommends, especially if you believe there's a billing dispute or the company continues to charge you after cancellation.

1. Open your email client and compose a new message.
   • Address it to: help@resumenerd.com
2. Write a clear cancellation request.
   • Include your full name, email address linked to your account, and the date you want to cancel.
   • State: "I request immediate cancellation of my ResumeNerd subscription effective [today's date]. Please confirm cancellation by reply email and provide a cancellation reference number."
3. Send the email and save a copy.
   • Make a copy in a folder on your computer or take a screenshot.
   • Note the exact date and time you sent it.
4. Wait for a response (typically within 24-48 hours).
   • ResumeNerd should reply with a cancellation number and confirmation.
   • If they don't respond within 3 business days, send a follow-up email mentioning your original request date.
5. Archive all replies in a dedicated folder.
   • Create a folder called "ResumeNerd Cancellation" and keep every email exchange there.

Warning: If you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play, email cancellation alone may not stop app-store charges. See the next section.

Cancelling in-app subscriptions (Apple and google play)

If you subscribed through an app store, you must cancel the subscription directly in that store's settings. Email or website cancellation won't affect app-store recurring charges.

For Apple App Store (iPhone/iPad):

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Tap your name at the top of the screen.
2. Tap "Subscriptions".
   • You'll see a list of all active subscriptions.
3. Find the ResumeNerd or Resume Builder+ subscription and tap it.
   • Look for the plan name (e.g., "Pro Month" or "Pro Semester").
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription".
   • Read any retention offer Apple displays-you can ignore it and tap again to confirm cancellation.
5. Take a screenshot of the cancellation screen.
   • Save it as proof of cancellation.

For Google Play (Android):

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone.
   • Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
2. Tap "Payments and subscriptions" then "Subscriptions".
   • You'll see all active subscriptions on your Google account.
3. Select the ResumeNerd or Resume Builder+ subscription.
   • Find the plan you're paying for.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm.
   • Google may show a cancellation reason prompt-you can skip it.
5. Screenshot the cancellation confirmation.
   • Keep it with your other cancellation records.

Pro tip: App-store cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You retain access until that date. If you want an immediate refund, contact the app store's support directly within 48 hours of the charge and request a refund for "accidental purchase" or "did not use service".

What happens to your account and data after cancellation

Understanding what you lose and what remains is crucial to avoiding surprises.

Access to paid features and your templates

Once you cancel, your access to premium features stops at the end of your current billing period. You can still view and download your resumes and templates during this grace period. Any documents you created-resumes, cover letters, notes-remain in your account storage even after your paid access expires. However, you won't be able to use premium templates or coaching tools. Download and save all your documents to your computer or cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) before your access ends, just to be safe.

Account data retention and deletion

ResumeNerd keeps your account active even after you cancel. Your personal data, resumes and design choices remain accessible if you ever log back in. If you want to delete everything-your account and all associated data-you must send a separate deletion request to help@resumenerd.com. Stopee recommends you request both cancellation and deletion in one email to make your intent crystal clear.

Refund policy and how to claim money back

ResumeNerd's refund terms are not generous, but you have consumer protections.

The company's official refund stance

ResumeNerd's terms state that refunds are not automatic. If you cancel mid-cycle, you typically do not receive a refund for the unused portion of your subscription. However, exceptions exist if you can prove billing error, unauthorized charges or non-delivery of service.

When you may qualify for a refund

• You were charged twice in a single billing cycle (billing error).
• Someone else used your account without permission (unauthorized charge).
• The service was unavailable for a significant period and you couldn't use it.
• You cancelled within a cooling-off period (see Nigerian rights section below).

How to request a refund

1. Gather evidence.
   • Take screenshots of your billing history showing the charge date, amount and currency.
   • If you suspect a duplicate charge, screenshot both transactions.
   • Note the exact date you discovered the problem.
2. Email help@resumenerd.com with a refund request.
   • State: "I request a refund for my ResumeNerd subscription charged on [date]. Reason: [billing error/unauthorized charge/service not delivered]."
   • Attach your screenshots as evidence.
   • Include your cancellation reference number if you already cancelled.
3. Wait for a response (5-10 business days).
   • The company will either approve or deny your refund.
   • If approved, the refund appears on your original payment method within 5-14 business days.
4. If the company refuses your refund, escalate to your bank.
   • Contact your bank's customer service and request a chargeback or dispute.
   • Provide the bank with your evidence (screenshots, cancellation emails, timeline).
   • Your bank investigates and may reverse the charge in your favor.

Warning: Banks typically only process chargebacks within 90 days of the original charge. Act quickly if you believe you were wrongly charged. Keep all email correspondence with ResumeNerd, as your bank will ask for it.

ResumeNerd pricing and plan details in nigeria

Understanding what you're actually paying helps you decide if cancellation is the right move and supports any refund claim.

Pricing overview

ResumeNerd's prices vary by platform. The website typically shows USD pricing, while mobile app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play in Nigeria) display prices in Euro (EUR). Charges convert to Nigerian Naira (NGN) at your bank's exchange rate, which may differ from the advertised rate, resulting in surprise costs.

Note: App-store pricing and providers (Rounding Squares BV) may differ from the ResumeNerd.com web platform pricing. Always check your actual billing statement in NGN to see the converted amount you're being charged. Stopee advises Nigerian users to verify their bank statement immediately after subscribing to confirm the NGN amount, as hidden currency markup is common with overseas subscriptions.

Common mistakes when cancelling ResumeNerd

Many Nigerians inadvertently make cancellation harder than it needs to be. Learning from their missteps saves you time, money and frustration.

Mistake 1: assuming website cancellation covers app-store subscriptions

If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, cancelling on the ResumeNerd website does nothing. Your app-store subscription continues to renew independently. You must cancel directly in the app store's settings. Stopee has seen hundreds of Nigerians unknowingly keep paying for months after they thought they cancelled.

Mistake 2: not saving a cancellation number or confirmation

If your cancellation doesn't create a paper trail, you have no proof you tried to cancel. If ResumeNerd continues charging you (a common complaint), you'll struggle to convince your bank the charge was unauthorized. Always screenshot or save your cancellation confirmation.

Mistake 3: cancelling on the last day of the billing cycle

This is risky. If there's a processing delay, your cancellation may not register in time and you'll be charged for the next cycle. Cancel at least 3-5 days before your renewal date to give the system time to process your request.

Mistake 4: ignoring automatic renewal reminders

Some Nigerians receive email warnings about upcoming charges but assume they've already cancelled. Always log in and verify your subscription status is inactive. Don't rely on memory alone.

Mistake 5: not disputing with your bank early enough

Your bank only processes chargebacks within a strict time window (usually 90 days). If you wait 6 months to challenge a ResumeNerd charge, your bank cannot help you. Act within 30 days of noticing an unauthorized or erroneous charge.

Checklist before and after cancellation

Use this checklist to ensure you cancel safely and document everything.

When you should cancel ResumeNerd immediately

Some situations demand fast action. If any of these apply, cancel today and contact your bank if needed.

• You see a charge for a service you never subscribed to (this signals account compromise or billing fraud).
• You cancelled weeks ago but charges still appear on your statement.
• You cannot log in to your account (you may be locked out, and the company may still charge you).
• ResumeNerd's help email bounces back or goes unanswered for over 1 week (the company may be unreachable).
• You notice your bank has flagged multiple ResumeNerd transactions as suspicious.

In these cases, immediately contact your bank to request a transaction dispute. Provide your cancellation attempts as evidence. Stopee recommends filing a complaint with the FCCPC (Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission) in parallel if the company refuses to respond.
