Do not use different emails you will be charged twice and check your subscriptions that's a huge charge. The company is very supportive if you make errors they will refund but in 14 days.

EXTREMELY HELPFUL
March 29, 2015

Great way to put together a strong CV. Quick, easy and very professional. When recruitment agencies keep commenting on your CV mock-up. It can't be a bad thing.

LIVE CAREER ARE SCAMMERS!
November 22, 2014

LIVE CAREER ARE SCAMMERS! I used the site once, gave my credit card details for a ONE OFF payment and I have now realised that they have been charging me monthly for the last 7 months! I have contacted them 6 times through their email on the site and the enquiry forms and they still haven't responded to me!
I cancelled my account with them in April after I realised they took another payment AND I emailed them advising they did not have permission to deduct any more money TWICE! BUT they have CONTINUED to charge me even though I NEVER signed up to a subscription! No terms and conditions warning, no nothing! I have sent another email today advising to refund the money charged ILLEGALLY or ill be going to the authorities and I still haven't heard back. Ill give them one more day.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE SCAMMERS!

Hi Desiree,

I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. All of our subscriptions are auto-renewing 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.

Our record shows that the previous representative cancelled and refunded the $34.95 on November 21 via email. I also issued additional 4 full refunds of $34.95. You'll see it on your bank statement within 2-3 business days. I have also sent you a confirmation email for your records.

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. Please contact me again directly if you have any further issues.

Best regards,

Anna

Avoid avoid avoid________a scam. They offer you free services, but secretly charge a monthly subscription. Business in the 21st century should be better than this!

Dear Jon,

Thank you for your comments.

The free account is the ability to try out the Resume Builder to get a feel for how it works, and see what it has to offer before deciding to purchase. At this time we offer free text (. Txt) download of your resume, but if you want to print a resume to bring to an interview, email your resume/cover letter, or download a professional looking resume then you do need a subscription.

Jon, regarding our monthly subscription -- we make every effort to let our subscribers know of this auto-renewing feature. We have it in print when you subscribe and we even e-mail you those details when we send your payment confirmation. We also inform you of the many ways for you to unsubscribe your accounts – either by telephone, live chat with a LiveCareer representative, or by e-mail. If you do not want to use any of our customer service options that we’ve listed, we also have a cancellation feature right on our website.

If you have any questions regarding your subscription our customer service team is available on our free phone number (44) 800-756-3741; representatives are available Monday-Sunday 9am - 9pm GMT or through live chat on our site. If you prefer you can send us an email to: customerservice@livecareer.co.uk

Best Regards,

LiveCareer

They stole my money
March 10, 2024

This company stole 40 euro of my money after advertising a one off 1.95 fee to format my CV. Do not use this company under any circumstances.

Hello,

We are very sorry to know that you feel this way and are certainly prepared to change the experience you had with us. We would like to take this time to clarify any doubts.

We do not have a one-time payment. Our 14-day trial auto-renews to our monthly access until you decide that it has met your expectations and proceed to cancel your subscription. In order to avoid any misunderstanding, this information is provided before, during, and after the subscription is bought. We also provide this information in the welcoming email sent during the purchase.

We're eager to assist you with your refund request. Please keep an eye out for a message from us requesting your account information. Rest assured, we are committed to turning your opinion around and ensuring you receive the exceptional customer service we're known for.

Thank you for your understanding and your valuable time.

Warm regards,
Customer Service Team

Fraud people
February 21, 2023

They have deducted the amount from my account without prior notice. This is a clear fraud. Don't trust them and the number they have shared for customer support is switched off.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We'd love to take this chance to explain some misinformation about our services.

Our subscriptions are auto-renewing, as we have a continuous billing feature that charges the credit card on file after the 14-day trial expires and every four weeks afterward unless they choose to cancel the subscription beforehand.

If there was no cancellation request sent before the trial period, the account is enrolled into a monthly subscription at the regular price. The auto-renewal information is listed in multiple areas like our plans page, the payment information page, and lastly, on your welcoming email, which confirms the 14-day trial purchase and a detailed overview of your new subscription.

For more information, please refer to our Terms and Conditions page: https://www.livecareer.com/terms-of-use.

We hope that this clarifies any confusion. Please get in touch with our Customer Service Team for immediate assistance and cancellations using the link provided below.

Brilliant services!
April 6, 2017

From the start i was making one CV for my good friend and first time used this website. In the end of CV i had to pay £2.95 which i wasn't mind but then in the end of my bill i presed to be billed every moths with around £17.00. I didnt want to be billed, because i knew it that im not gonna used again. So i texted to one of the members and he/her helped me very well with answering all my questions and deleted my bank details from here. The problem was solved in 10mins! Coud'nt be better! Nobody wants to be billed for no reason aspecially on the things you never used! Brilliand and helpful service would actually trust this website again in the future if i have to. Would pressed more then 5 starts if i could!
