Easy to use and export old resume info. I like the expert suggestions
Thank you for taking some time to review us, we love to hear from our users as it provides us with valuable feedback that helps us serve customers like you better.
All seemed well on the initial engagement. Fairly easy to use, looked ok, minor adjustments here and there- the wrong format but I could it edit myself.
I then logged back into finish it after hours of work on a resume/CV and cover letter. They were nowhere to be found. I then was charged again but still no documents. I contacted their live chat and was told I had full access yet they specifically said in their agreement the documents would be available when I logged back in, nothing.
Then I got charged again. I contacted them trying to cancel the subscription and the live chat 'service' was horrific.
Firstly, I never authorised any further payments but they had saved my bank details. Then I was told I couldn't get a refund as their money-back guarantee only applied for the first 14 days during their trial. When I told them I didn't have access to the documents as they stated they said it was because I cancelled the account just now. I had already taken a video of the platform prior to the cancellation where no documents were there after investing not only my money but hours of time into the Resume/CV and cover letter.
Do yourself a favour ask a friend, or use another platform, they'll steal your money and provide you with nothing in return.
We're sorry you experience this kind of issue with our builder. This could have been a technical issue that couldn't be saved, but we're here to help you.
In addition, we'd love to take this chance to explain some information about our products and services. When you sign up for our 14-day trial, you’re automatically enrolled in our monthly subscription service, which we let you know at this stage that you may cancel at any time. Also, when we request your credit card information, we clearly explain that unless you self-cancel or request a cancellation before the end of your trial, you authorize us to charge your credit card every four weeks at the regular price of the subscription.
As for the refund policy, we do not process any refunds on recurring charges as stated on our Terms and Conditions page. Our policy is as follows; we offer a 100% money-back guarantee; if you are not satisfied with the result during the first 14-days, once those days are up, we do not process any refunds.

Great templates but misleading that it says free and you have to pay to get your resume.
Thank you for the feedback, Abi!
To clarify, we offer two types of accounts, the first one being a basic access account that gives you the chance to try out our builder before deciding to purchase our premium features, this account allows you to download a plain text version completely free. We also provide a full access account for a small fee that grants you 14-days to print, email, or download your documents using our copyrighted templates, but these features are NOT listed within the free account.
In addition, we do offer a 100% money-back guarantee for our 14-day trial if you are not satisfied with our services.

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
