On June 2,2014, I used your site to build a resume and told to pay $1.95. I paid through my credit card. I just used the site once and I dont eve remember my log in details so I did not bother opening the site anymore. On June 16, I was billed again $39.95 for the same transaction. This is not fair as I did not sign for membership and was not informed that I will be billed after 14 days.

Please let me know how I get my refund.

They are terrible
June 20, 2014

They are terrible. It is an obvious scam. The resume builder is garbage and the $2 is just a lure to get you into a $40 per month bill for services you will never use. Complete garbage.

I needed this site to draw up a resume for a potential job. Everything sounded great. It was suppose to be "free". So I spent a while tweeking and tuning my resume to my liking and then i was hit with a very modest $3.95 (i think) one time charge to finish the resume at the end. I thought what the heck, it wasnt that much money and i really liked the way the resume looked. So i paid it. What i didnt know was that i was automatically signed up on a monthly plan that would be paid through my visa card. I was charged $45.23 on February 20. I was charged $45.99 on March 20. I was charged $44.94 on April 21. I was charged $44.41 on May 16. And finally, i was charged $44.32 on June 13 for a grand total of $224.32 that this company has taken from me. Did I mention that I very rarely used the website? Maybe one or two times.
