I was very adjutated when I notice a charge for $24.95 when I know I agreed to a payment of $1.95 for a 14 day trial. When I called customer service & a gentleman named Alex answered, I wasn't very happy but Alex took 3 minutes & fixed everything. I'm glad it was quick & easy to deal with. Thank you again Alex. I apologize for the attitude & thank you for your demeanour

Not even a star! No stars. LiveCareer is a scam! My son paid $2 for an resume. Then they started to charge my bank account since then. Tonight I found I was charged $39.8 and $1.19 international fee and looked suspicious. Then I tracked back and found I have been charging $39.8 and $1.19 every month since last May, almost $450! Are they going to charge me the rest of my life? I am going to make a mission to tell everybody about this scam and to get my money back.

Made myself a cv a few months back for "£1" so I thought and just looking at my bank statements they have been taking £14.95 out of my account every month, how do I stop this?!

I was not pleased when I was tricked into paying for the "Free" Perfect Cover Letter and had to subscribe to a membership in order to print out the cover Letter that I created for my husband. I also was not happy that my membership was not cancelled within the 14 days and I was charged another $24.95 fee. I was happy with the wonderful gentleman that helped me cancel my membership to avoid another $24.95 monthly fee in the future. Thank You my Vineland Brother!

Joe, the customer service representative really made my day. I am currently in search of employment and Joe made it easy to process my refund of the membership fee that I was unaware of or forgot that would be charged. He explained the membership and its benefits very thoroughly. Although I can't afford the services at this time. I will highly recommend to others that are looking for the perfect resume. Thanks again Joe!

Answer: This is what the site advertised: For 14 day access, $14.95, and for a year $39.80. However, signing up for ANY service aloows the site to store your payment information for further billing, and getting in touch with them, much less obtaining help is nigh impossible. After two weeks they will pull $39.80 MONTHLY from your payment method (please see my review and others on Google and yelp for further verification of this).
Answer: Do not use this site!
Answer: I had to cancel my Debit Card account with Bank of America, because the Bank refused to block LiveCareer from my account. I wonder if they are in cahoots or what? I believe a class action suit may be required so we can get our funds back.
Answer: Call your bank and change your card number Call them and let them know you have contacted your bank and will contact the better business bureau of you don't get a full refund. Then contact the better bBB and file a formal complaint. You will have a refund within a week. That's how I got my money back
Answer: Dont waste your time trying to contact them. I went to my bank and had all future billing refused AND I went to the State Attorney General and reported them.
Answer: Hello, Sarah - Thank you for getting in touch with us, our subscriptions are auto-renewing, we have a continuous billing feature that charges your account after the 14-day period and every month for the regular price afterward. However, if you are only interested in the 14-trial and wish to avoid any recurring charges simply cancel your subscription before beforehand. We hope that this helps clear things up for you, if you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know. Best regards, LiveCareer US
