Building a free resume and then charging is predatory

Hello,

We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience you may have experienced with our website. We understand your concerns and would like to provide some clarification. First, our platform offers two types of accounts: Basic Access (free) and Full Access (paid).

The basic access account is designed to allow users to explore our builder and try out its features before committing to a purchase. With this account, you can freely use the builder and create your documents. However, it's important to note that the basic access account only allows you to download a plain text version of your document, and it does not include our premium features.

On the other hand, we offer a full-access account for a small fee, which includes additional features such as printing, emailing, and downloading documents with our copyrighted templates, as well as other services to facilitate your job search (cover letters, interview tips, etc.). With the full-access account, you'll have 14 days to use these advanced features and optimize your document creation process. In the event you don't cancel your account within the first 14 days, your subscription will renew to our monthly access.

We understand that budgeting for a subscription can be challenging. For this reason, we're always striving to improve our offering to provide the best value without neglecting our users' needs. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] to inquire about available special offers, if you have any other questions, or need further assistance. Thank you again for your feedback!

Best regards.

We apologize for any misunderstanding. If you’d like assistance with billing or plan options, please feel free to reach out to our support team at [email protected]. We’re here to help and truly appreciate your input, as it helps us improve our service and experience for all users!

The resume was fine and easy to build. The charge of $2.45 was fine.
Then you sent me promotions I did not want and now you have tried to get a payment of $34.95 from my credit card I did not authorize.
Therefore I am fuming!

Hello,

We appreciate you sharing your experience. We're glad to hear you found our resume service helpful and easy to use. We also apologize for any confusion or frustration you may have experienced with our website. We want to assure you that our service is transparent, and we provide a clear overview of our subscription model and billing terms before, during, and after the sign-up process. We understand your concerns and would like to provide some clarification.

Our service works like a subscription. After the initial fee, which grants full access to all features (unlimited resumes and cover letters, job application tips, expert-written content, etc.), if the subscription is not cancelled within 14 days, it automatically renews into a paid monthly plan to maintain uninterrupted access. These conditions are presented clearly during the registration process, including at the point of purchase, within the terms and conditions, and again in the confirmation email sent immediately after the initial payment. This message outlines the subscription terms, billing frequency, and cancellation information to ensure full transparency. You can also see it reflected in your account details "Settings/Subscription Overview/View billing history".) We understand this information may be overlooked and recognize the importance of clarity at all stages of the customer experience.

We would like to investigate this matter further to ensure it’s resolved appropriately. To help us locate your account and assist you directly, please reach out to our customer service team at [email protected]. We will be more than happy to assist you. We value your feedback and are committed to improving your experience.

Best regards.

I don't like the fact that its a monthly subscription rather than a one time payment to get the resume. I don't really have any intention to continuously use this service so making it a monthly subscription just doesn't make sense.

Hello,

Our service is designed to provide ongoing access and support, but we understand that not everyone needs a subscription beyond their initial use.

You should state earlier that this is a small fee for 14 days access. I don't mind paying it, but appreciate if you can advise sooner in the process. (Or perhaps I didn't see it.)

I think it's really deceitful that you advertise as a free resume builder and then at the end you charge people to actually access their resume. The initial cost isn't too great but then to charge someone $22 a month for something they only need maybe once or twice is outrageous.
