The phone call I made to live career Australia is regarding my recurring charges on my credit card. The customer service agent listened to my problems and resolve my problems immediately. The attitude is professional and efficient. Good services. I am happy that I made a call.
The CSR was clear, concise, and quick, and not condescending when he determined that the problem was a simple mistake on my end.

I spoke with representative Mary in Puerto Rico about issues that I had regarding adding a new section to my resume. Mary also assisted me regarding the Fed x issue that I am going through at this time. I was told by another representative from another office that I did not meet the requirements to get the 10 free copies of my resume printed by Fed X. Mary went to her supervisor to inquire about this matter seeing that the original website I worked on was Resume Now. Which offered the Fed X service and not the website I was directed to work on by a representative from the San Francisco area. Mary gave me a turn around time of 24-48 hrs. To hear back from the Corporate office I
Am not please with the turn around time but what can I do about that.

Let's see if I could rate this zero stars I would. Do not subscribe to this scam they start charging 20 dollars over and over after you subscribe. When I called customer service the lady was nothing but rude and gave me a "one time courtesy" for my money back. I had to actually fight with her and continually ask for a supervisor. She even told me "be quiet you keep talking and talking I don't want to give you your money back" bunch of bull. AGAIN, DON'T SUBSCRIBE TO THEM.

The customer service was top notch. The resume templates get the job done. My only issue was that I was charged for a month, even though I only selected the 14 day trial. When I called customer service, they refunded me promptly and offered a discount on other services that I may need.

I went on MPR and as I was using their service to download one edited resume I was asked to pay about $1.95 so I went ahead and paid it. However, I was not aware of the fact that I'd automatically been subscribed and had to pay $24.95/mo. I called to explain what happened and I got a refund. I must say it was handled with so much care and grace!

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
