My experience with LiveCareer has been nothing short of outrageous and infuriating. I never subscribed to their service, never consented to any recurring payments, and yet they have been illegally draining money from my credit card every single month without my knowledge or permission. This isn't a billing error it's systematic, deliberate fraud. There was no clear disclosure, no valid confirmation email, and absolutely no way to opt out or cancel. I only uncovered this scheme after combing through my credit card statements. Their so-called "customer service" is a complete sham unreachable, unresponsive, and deliberately obstructive. This is predatory, unethical, and possibly criminal behaviour. It's a textbook case of a company exploiting unsuspecting consumers through hidden charges and deceptive practices. I've already reported these unauthorized deductions to my bank and will pursue this issue through every available legal and regulatory channel. If you've ever interacted with LiveCareer even once check your statements immediately. They are running a subscription scam under the guise of a legitimate service. Do not trust this company. Do not give them your payment information. They are a digital parasite and must be held accountable.
They charge money without warning and do not give it back, even if you prove that you dod not use the service. I check it, did not like, but they charge for a year

As close to Theft as you could 'legally' get!
I used one of the 'free' CV templates provided by this Company, however when I tried to download it I was forced to pay!
It was only a nominal fee so I acquiesced.
A few months later, after looking at my bank statement I noticed a £19.95 payment I didn't recognised. Further investigation revealed 5 payments of £19.95 had been taken from LiveCareer UK but under a different name.
I stopped the payments from my account, but unfortunately Live Career would not even consider a refund!
Their Customer Service is non existent when it is needed.
I feel I've been totally scammed and there is very little I can do about it.
I urge you not to use this Company.

I had an unusual request, and Karen, one of their customer support representatives, went above and beyond to assist me. She was incredibly helpful and sweet, addressing all my questions and concerns promptly. Karen even made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I am truly grateful for her exceptional service and hope she receives the recognition she deserves, perhaps even a well-deserved raise!
Hello,
Thank you so much! We are thrilled to hear that our agent was able to assist you with your request and provide you with excellent service. We will be sure to let them know your amazing comments.
At first i was skeptical about the live chat because the first two customer service personnel's ended the chat before concluding our chat. Third person came in and attended to me nicely and am happy while i wait for my refund to reflect on my account.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing. We truly appreciate your feedback. Happy customers make our days brighter!
I am very pleased with the help I have got from your team member at customer service.
I think we need more people like Ms. Juan, the very kind person who helped me today.
I used your service only once, but I found it was very easy to use it.
Kind regards,

I've been using LiveCareer for a while now and I cannot recommend it enough. I found it super helpful when I was looking for a job and to also create my own CV. I was recently assisted by Alejandro and he provided an amazing support!

I would love to use this space to say a massive thank you to the gentleman who dealt with my very difficult case. My live career account had been closed down due to it not being set up right. The gentle man was patient, professional and dealt with frustration and upset in very caring, considerate and patient manner. I would like to say a massive thank you to him because with out his professionalism and time it wouldn't have been sorted out - massive thank you and keep doing your good wok

Extremely dissatisfied
No reminders, no updates - Just only you get to know your bank account deductions without any detail being added to the email.
Even they don't bother to explain for how long the subscription is.
If you contact agents they just listen all and end the chat.

Not the services I was looking for. Money was taken from my account unauthorized. Very shameful. I tried to get my refunds back, but was only given a partial refund. Completely dissatisfied with their service.

I am pleased to say that by using CV Builder's on-line CV tool I was able to update my old, rather tired CV into a bold, job-winning version. The tool is very easy to use, assisted by the on screen prompts and the wide choice of formats. The finished subject is striking, whatever design you may choose and is bound to catch your potential future employer's eye... go on, have a go!
