MyPerfectCV

Overview

The company has garnered mixed feedback, with some customers praising the ease of use and effectiveness of the CV-building tools, as well as positive interactions with customer service representatives. However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious concerns regarding unauthorized recurring charges, lack of communication, and difficulties in canceling subscriptions. Many users express frustration over being charged without prior notice or clear terms, leading to feelings of being misled. Overall, while the product quality receives acclaim, the company's customer service approach appears to be marred by issues related to transparency and responsiveness.

Got the 14 day access and they billed me the following month for the usual £16.95 called and they refunded my account and gave me 1 month extra at the introductory rate. The cv builder was extremely useful and would recommend this to anyone looking to get a professional cv although you must be aware you are automatically signed up to the usual monthly price unless you close your account when the 14 days is up.

Customer Service
April 4, 2022

The website is actually really helpful and allows you to have good structure of your sentences on your CV! You may have to tweak a few bits here and there but that's just minor as most of the work is technically done for you. The customer service is really great! You can get hold of them so quickly and they sort you issue out instantly! It's honestly a handy site to have!

Please avoid My Perfect CV at all costs - Having recently signed up for the 14 day trial at a cost of £1.95 the service on offer is basic at best. Nothing you cannot get from standard templates readily available online. Worse still when attempting to download in Word format the templates didnt format correctly and so I had to spend 2 hours fixing the issue.

Worse still when cancelling my subscription (you are automatically signed up for a month) I was billed £23.80! I have tried to ring their helpline but have been on hold for 15 mins and have now given up.

Please avoid at all costs - Save yourself time, energy and money and go elsewhere

Outstanding service!
September 2, 2017

I built my CV through the simple steps online which constructed an informative and professional looking cv which allowed to download, print and save it in various formats. All for under £3 for your first 14 days which was fantastic! After I had used the service and got a CV together I no longer required my subscription. As you can imagine some companies are not pleased when you have to call explaining why you no longer want to continue with them. I rang and a very helpful and kind lady helped me quickly and with ease to deactivate my subscription. She generously offered me some of the great offers and benefits that were available to me and when realised could not continue with my payments she understood and cancelled my subscription. No strings atttachted. I feel very comfortable and trusting that my money is no longer used for any further payments and I am trusting of the company, which is what a customer should want. I will defiantly be using this service in the future.

Ronny was very kind and understanding and I was able to feel very satisfied from his service. He was aware of my needs and ensured they were met. However, if it wasn't for him I would have given this review 1 star. Please understand you are choosing the wrong way to MARKET a product. Essentially, you are scheming customers 16.75 for a CV template. Ask yourselves, what you are making your customers do. I hope you take responsibility for this serious issue in the future as your refund system is just as SHOCKING.

No complaints

The CV's look good, plenty of styles to choose from. The formatting wasn't perfect at the start but the customer service chat was able to resolve that quickly. Only the search facilities for text phrases could be improved. In overall: No complaints.

Strong Website
September 27, 2022

A great website to use! I was able to choose from a various selection of CVs to review and use as templates, until eventually coming to one that I am fully content with.
This is a great website for both those first looking to write a CV and for those who have written previous CVs; there is a structure for everybody!
The customer service, likewise, excels at helping to get any queries, problems or difficulties fully sorted out when it comes to - as few of many examples - billing or the accessibility of a given subscription.
I am more than thankful and content for my experience with this website. Would recommend to everyone needing to write CVs!

The site was really easy to use, the prompts for each job role were very helpful to use as a template, they also served as a great memory-jogger as I was having to create a CV that went right back through my work history. My CV ended up looking really good and I was extremely pleased with the result. I had absolutely excellent customer service from Edward who helped with a query on my account.

Fantastic
June 26, 2017

Great service, very easy to use and also fantastic customer support. I had a problem with my membership thinking I would not be charged again after paying £2.95 for the 14 day trial however a month later I had been charged. However, the customer support was very helpful and refunded me the money which I found really good.

Have tried repeatedly to cancel my subscription, called both customer service numbers just to be put on hold for 20+ minutes only to reach an answering machine. I have emailed multiple times requesting my account to be cancelled with no response yet again. My account ID is *******, please cancel my account ASAP!

Good tool for designing a CV
December 19, 2023

I found the CV tools easy to use but it wasn't obvious you would be charged until I went to save it!
That was quite stressful after doing all the work! However I was pleased with the CV. I didn't realise after the initial £1.95 for 3 weeks it would then be a subscription for £16.95 monthly.
I called customer service and the advisor I spoke to was nice and understanding. He fortunately gave me other options so I decided to keep with them after the compromise.
Definitely worth contacting Customer Service before deciding whether to cancel.

Absolutely brilliant customer service - I called last minute to cancel my subscription before the monthly £16.95 charges applied to my account and the gentleman over the phone was extremely helpful and efficient in aiding me through the cancellation process.

All I needed was an updated CV and this website had my details from last year. So I paid £2.95 to convert it to Word document to send to Remploy. Just what I needed to start the ball rolling back to employment. Will be back again in the future. Would recommend to family and friends.

It doesnt state obviously and in flashing lights you have to pay once cv is completed. But after you have completed it, for £2.95 the level of customer service to alter/modify and edit to get your CV is very good, it is money well spent. They spend time fixing page breaks and spacing etc. try contacting them. Very helpful experience i had this evening.
