No consent for any subscription and yet I was charged already for 5 months. Every month the charge comes 3 days earlier so even if you did consent you will be charged 13 times each year. This is clearly organized fraud.
When logging into your account you will not find any possibility to retrieve past payments nor an option to cancel your "so-called subscription".
I never had this experience before, she solved my problem in couple of minutes. Thank-you for making my day wonderful 💯
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review!
I was calling to cancel my subscription, Amilia walked my through benefits and features of my subscription in detail and she went above and beyond her job description which we all taking phone calls and listened to complaints all day! Thank Amillia for being you in a world where everyone try to be everyone else!
Hello,
Thank you so much! We appreciate the positive review!
It was SO nice to talk to a real person instead of the AI chat! Maureen was able to quickly handle my issue and was so pleasant on the phone. Thanks!
Hello,
Thank you! 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.
The CV review I originally paid for was vague and uninformed. Lots of "in this section what you should focus on depends on the job you're going for"... No examples! Signed up for a trial for two weeks and then they proceeded to continue to take money from my account for the next seven months until I happened to get a notification from my bank which brought it to my attention.
They never once emailed a reminder that the charge would increase etc. They actually never emailed again even though I was signed up to receive every possible news letter.
I imagine this is to avoid people noticing they are still signed up so they can continue to syphon money whilst providing absolutely no service what so ever.
They've robbed me of nearly £120 and the best they've offered is one months refund of £16.85.
Absolutely disgusting business practices.
Avoid like the plague.
I'm going through my bank to try and get the money back but it could take months.
Hello,
We deeply regret any confusion or inconvenience you may have experienced. It's important for us to clarify our service offerings to ensure transparency and clarity for our users.
Certain premium features do require a subscription. We understand the importance of clearly communicating this, and we strive to provide this information before, during, and after the subscription purchase process, including in the welcome email sent upon purchase.
Regarding our subscription model, our 14-day trial is designed to automatically renew to our monthly access until you decide it meets your expectations and choose to cancel your subscription. We aim to prevent any misunderstandings by providing this information upfront.
We genuinely want to address your concerns and assist with your refund request. Please keep an eye out for a message from us requesting your account information so we can expedite the process. Rest assured, we are fully committed to improving your perception of our service and ensuring you receive the exceptional customer service we pride ourselves on.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
All of the customer service reps at Live Career have really impressed me. They are so friendly, and positive, kind and genuine! Shoutout to Victor! He was such an expert I had to ask how long he's been serving people in such a professional and helpful way. I got another year of Live Career and I'm feeling grateful! Thank you!
Hello,
We're truly grateful for your feedback! It brings us immense joy to learn that our agent was able to meet your needs and deliver exceptional service. We'll make sure to pass along your kind words to them. If you ever need assistance again, please don't hesitate to reach out!
I called because I was upset about that l was being charged for a service I was not using. I went on to mention that I had got the job as a teacher. I only needed to use the service for the resume. Alejandro was determined to make me happy. He told me that I qualify for a 1 year subscription because I am a teacher and processed me a refund. He also offered to help me navigate the website and explain all of the benefits that I can use to help me be a great educator in the classroom.
Great Job Alejandro!

Such a Scam Business. I cancelled my subscription several times, but the system does not stop billing me and continues to do so.
They charged me for the first time on November 5,2022. When I told them there was a technical problem, they refused to accept it and demanded that I be convinced that I would not be charged again.
They have now charged me again on November 8,2022. After conducting some investigation, I discovered that this firm is also defrauding other clients.
Whoever is reading this review, believe me when will be disappointed with their service. There is no customer service. They will not accept their fault.
Stay away from this company.

I built a resume in Jan of 2022 and then cancelled. They continued to charge me until today. I logged back into my account and I had opted in to receive all communication from them, but after I cancelled I never got another email. They just continued to charge me and hoped I would not notice (which I didn't for quite awhile). Upon contacting the rep pushed me to keep it for 4.95 a month after asking for a refund multiple times and then refunded 11.98. I immediately an email from them for the first time ever. Buyer beware. There are more honest services
Hello, Jessica. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
The reason for any charges is that our subscriptions are auto-renewing. 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 contact our Customer Service Team for immediate assistance and cancellations using the link below. https://www.livecareer.com/contact-us
All the things that people have said below; they're true. You'd be doing yourself a favor to stay far away from this sight.
I created one resume and have since been charged nearly $80. LiveCareer set up an unauthorized $34.95 monthly charge from my credit card. Fortunately American Express (excellent, trusted company) reversed the charges immediately once I noticed and contested them.
My only question now is why California AG has not gone after this company for consumer fraud?
Dear Amy M,
I apologize for the misunderstanding. The $4.95 subscription is good for 7 days and we rely on you to cancel whenever you are finished. Our renewal policy is listed clearly in normal size font with the subscription option, on the payment confirmation page and purchase confirmation email. If you do not cancel we will assume that you are still using our service. Many of our customers continue to use our service for several months during their entire job search.
To cancel your subscription simply contact us by phone, email, or chat. We also have a self-cancellation method available in your account settings. Inquiries can be emailed to customerservice@livecareer.com and the toll free phone number for customer service is 1-888-816-0576. Please contact us if we can be of any service. We are available 7 days a week from 6am-midnight EST.

I am a nursing student who made the mistake of signing up for a trial period, costing me a little over $4.00. They have began to take $39.80 out of my account monthly, even though I have emailed billing and complained about these false charges. Stay away from this company! Their "live chat" never responded and I did not hear back from them after e-mailing several times.

Used their site for a once needed resume. Did not see anything about recurring charges and only just realized they have been billing me almost $40 a month until I just cancelled account. They stated that it is not in fine print and clearly stated under terms of service! Really!? Guess I better get out the white cane and my seeing eye dog because I sure didn't notice it. STAY away from this company!
Hi Dale I.,
I’m very sorry that you have had this experience with our service. We explain that the subscription is auto-renewing. We state this on every page in the purchase process and we send a 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.
Cancellation should take place on or before the 14 day period is up.
We are very committed to providing great customer service and customer satisfaction, and again are very sorry that you had this experience. We take all feedback very seriously.

These people are $#*!ing scammers. My husband joined, I cancelled the subscription and they're still charging us! DON'T use their services... pay someone to do your resume, it will cost you less money and aggravation in the long run!

Being partially tech challenged, this service was a blessing. It completely took the anxiety out of creating a resume again after having not done so in years. Very easy, excellent templates, and lightning quick Live Chat assistance whenever there was a challenge on my end. Highly recommend this service. The "added value" features are also quite helpful (preparing for interview, etc).
Hi Brian,
Thank you for that great feedback. It is excellent to know how you feel about our product and the hassle free experience that we provide. We strive to deliver to you what we do best.
I paid a few pounds for a one of service... so I thought but this company seems to think that it can continue to take £23.80 from my account every month and when it likes! AVOID AT ALL COSTS... 24 chat line not available, cannot log back in! Time to involve trading standards
Greetings Colin,
We are very sorry that you feel this way and had this experience Colin. We are more than willing to assist you with your concerns. We have sent you a private message so we can assit you in a secure manner.

Templates added flexibility to job search. Able to craft with relative ease specific messaging in my resume that helped potential employers best evaluate me without utilizing a cookie cutter approach. Highly recommended!
