STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE!
Their practises are very fraudulent and deceptive.
I went to pay my utility bills this weekend to find nearly $50AUD had been withdrawn from my bank account.
I ring my bank to find that livecareer has billed me another two times prior, which means I have pretty much been charged $150 for a very simple resume.
Do not be fooled by this website, or their claims that they make it clear that they will auto-renew subscription.
They lie about how much monthly subscription costs, it's easy enough to see for yourself, all you do is click on "my account" then "subscription" where it offers you to upgrade from their $1.95 14-day trial to $7.95 monthly access; yet they charge $38.90 which takes them 6months to start billing?
How does that work live career?
How can you claim that you make these facts clear when so many angry customers say otherwise?!
They do not hold true to their money back guarantee stamp image that this page also exhibits.
It also does not state on this page anywhere that the 14 day-trial is AUTO RENEWED as their representatives keep stating in their response to comments on reviews about their company.
When I click on "delete account" it tells that I have an active subscription, that I need to click "continue" to cancel the subscription, lo and behold when I click on "continue" it takes me to the subscription upgrade page!
Using the live help chat applet yields not satisfactory results, either sends as an email or never any support representative on the other end, after 15mins of waiting.
This is AFTER having to change my web security program's settings to allow me to visit the site due to it's suspicious behavior.
This website is all kinds of wrong!
I have contacted my bank, and cancelled my card and they are sending me a new one; furthermore I will be contacting the fraud dept. of my bank to retrieve the money they have billed me for.
However this does not satisfy me as it has still put me in financial hardship, as it has made me behind in paying my bills.
Dear Alana L.,
I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. We offer an Annual subscription for $7.95 per month which is a 1-year commitment that requires an upfront payment of $95.40 and is the best value for full access to your resumes for the entire year. The other option is our 14 day access that auto-renews at $39.80 on the 15th day billed every four weeks if not cancelled. We state this on every page in the purchase process and we send payment confirmation email stating the date and amount of the auto- renewal. We do offer several ways to cancel including by phone, live chat, email and self-cancellation in your Account Settings if service is no longer needed.
Deleting an account is different from cancellation. Deleting means you will not be able to access any of your resumes, cover letters, or emails, and this action cannot be undone. However, cancellation stops the auto-renewal. Cancelling a subscription online can be found under the subscription tab.
We are very committed to providing great customer service and again are very sorry that you had this experience. We take all feedback very seriously. It will be forwarded to our Marketing team. If you have any further issues, you can contact me directly with the email address you used to create your account or the last 4 digits of the card that was billed and card holder’s name so that we can resolve this issue quickly for you. Please email me at anna. B@livecareer- support.com
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Anna
