How to cancel MyPerfectCV in UAE and recover your subscription fees
What MyPerfectCV is and why you might cancel
MyPerfectCV is an online platform that enables job seekers across the UAE to build professional resumes and cover letters using template libraries, expert writing tools, and optional premium editorial services. The service operates through the website myperfectcv.ae and native mobile applications on both iOS and Android, allowing you to manage your subscription and access your account materials at any time.
You may subscribe to MyPerfectCV through two principal channels: direct purchase of one-time CV writing packages via the website (billed in AED), or recurring subscriptions activated through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once you activate a subscription, MyPerfectCV will automatically renew your membership unless you take action to cancel.
Common reasons people cancel MyPerfectCV
You might decide to cancel after completing your CV project, discovering that rival platforms better suit your professional needs, or noticing unexpected renewal charges on your bank statements. Some subscribers cancel because the auto-renewal terms were unclear at the point of purchase, or because they purchased the service during a free trial that later converted to a paid subscription without explicit consent. Whatever your circumstance, Yafee specialises in helping UAE consumers navigate the cancellation process and recover fees where your legal rights have been breached.
Why cancellation timing matters
The moment you cancel matters legally in the UAE. If you cancel within 14 calendar days of your initial purchase, you have statutory grounds to demand a full refund under UAE consumer protection law, regardless of whether you have used the service. After that window closes, your refund options narrow, and you may only recover fees if MyPerfectCV failed to disclose material terms or charged you without proper consent.
Your consumer rights under UAE law
The UAE federal legal framework grants you enforceable protections when you purchase digital services online, including MyPerfectCV subscriptions.
UAE federal law no. 24 of 2006 and the 14-day cancellation right
The UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006) establishes a mandatory 14-day cooling-off period for all distance contracts-which includes any purchase you make online or through an app store. This right applies to your MyPerfectCV subscription whether you purchased it via myperfectcv.ae directly or through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your mobile device.
In accordance with this law, you may cancel your MyPerfectCV subscription within 14 calendar days of purchase without providing a reason, without incurring any cancellation fee, and without penalty. MyPerfectCV must refund your full payment within 30 days of receiving your cancellation notice. The company cannot refuse this right, impose additional charges, or extend the cancellation deadline.
Protection against misleading trials and auto-renewal
If MyPerfectCV offered you a free or discounted trial period and then automatically converted your account to a paid subscription without clear, prior consent, you have grounds to dispute the charge under UAE consumer law. The law requires that MyPerfectCV obtain your explicit, informed agreement before initiating any recurring charge-not just buried consent in terms and conditions.
Document the date you started your trial, take screenshots of any pop-ups or terms that appeared at sign-up, and preserve your payment confirmation email. This evidence strengthens your refund claim if MyPerfectCV resists cancellation or argues that you consented to auto-renewal.
Your legal position after 14 days
Once the 14-day statutory period has passed, your ability to cancel and receive a refund depends on whether MyPerfectCV breached its legal obligations. You retain the right to cancel your subscription at any time-consumer law does not permit indefinite contractual lock-in-but the company may be entitled to retain payment for services already delivered. However, if MyPerfectCV failed to provide transparent pricing information, unclear renewal terms, or charged you without consent, you may still recover fees even after 14 days have elapsed. Yafee recommends documenting all of these issues in writing before you escalate to the relevant authority.
Escalation to UAE regulators
If MyPerfectCV refuses to honour your cancellation request or rejects your refund claim, you can escalate your complaint to the Advertising and Consumer Protection Bureau, which operates under the umbrella of the UAE Ministry of Commerce and Tourism. This bureau investigates consumer complaints, mediates disputes, and can compel companies to refund consumers who have breached their legal obligations. You also have the right to file a chargeback dispute with your bank or payment processor if the company ignores your formal cancellation request.
Methods to cancel MyPerfectCV
You have four distinct pathways to cancel MyPerfectCV, each with different levels of speed and documentation strength.
Cancel through your online account (fastest method)
If you purchased your MyPerfectCV subscription directly through myperfectcv.ae, the fastest cancellation route is through your account dashboard. This method provides immediate confirmation and creates a digital record of your cancellation request, which you can screenshot for evidence if you later need to dispute a renewal charge.
- Navigate to myperfectcv.ae in your web browser and click the login button
- Enter your registered email address and password
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" and follow the email recovery link
- Once logged in, locate the "My Account" or "My Settings" menu
- This menu typically appears in the top-right corner of the dashboard, under your profile name or account icon
- Click on the menu and select "Subscription" or "Billing"
- Find your active subscription and select "Cancel subscription"
- MyPerfectCV may ask you to confirm your cancellation or select a reason; answer truthfully but concisely
- The company sometimes offers a discount or retention incentive at this point; you are not obligated to accept
- Verify that the cancellation was processed
- Your subscription status should change to "Cancelled" or "Inactive"
- MyPerfectCV will typically send you a confirmation email within minutes; keep this email as proof of cancellation
- Screenshot the cancellation confirmation page and save it to a secure folder on your device
Cancel via email (most documented method)
Sending a formal cancellation request by email creates a timestamped written record that is admissible as evidence if you later need to escalate your case to the Advertising and Consumer Protection Bureau or dispute a renewal charge with your bank. Email cancellation takes slightly longer than account dashboard cancellation, but the documentation is stronger.
- Open your email client and compose a new message to MyPerfectCV's customer support address
- Use the support email address listed on myperfectcv.ae; this is typically [email protected] or a similar variant
- If you cannot find a support email on the website, check your original purchase confirmation email for a reply-to address
- Write a clear subject line: "Cancellation request for MyPerfectCV subscription - [Your Account Email]"
- In the email body, include the following information:
- Your full name and the email address registered to your MyPerfectCV account
- The date your subscription started (if known)
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my MyPerfectCV subscription effective today"
- Your preferred refund method (original payment method, bank transfer, etc.)
- A note that you are cancelling within 14 days of purchase if applicable, and therefore expect a full refund under UAE Consumer Protection Law
- Send the email and wait for an automated receipt
- MyPerfectCV should send you an immediate auto-reply confirming that your email was received
- Save this auto-reply message; it proves the company received your cancellation request
- Allow 2-3 business days for MyPerfectCV to respond with cancellation confirmation
- The company must acknowledge your cancellation request within this timeframe
- If you receive no response after 3 business days, send a follow-up email and escalate to your bank or payment processor
Cancel by telephone during business hours
Telephone cancellation offers the benefit of immediate conversation and the ability to ask questions in real time. Nevertheless, the major disadvantage is that you lack a written record unless you explicitly ask the agent to follow up with a confirmation email.
- Locate MyPerfectCV's customer service telephone number
- This is usually listed on the myperfectcv.ae website under "Contact Us" or "Support"
- Note the business hours, as the company may only accept cancellation requests during specific times
- Call the number and wait for a customer service representative
- Have your account email address and registered phone number ready
- Be prepared to provide these details for identity verification
- Clearly state your request: "I would like to cancel my MyPerfectCV subscription immediately"
- Do not be swayed by retention offers or discounts unless you genuinely wish to stay
- Remain polite but firm; the agent has no legal authority to refuse your cancellation
- Request written confirmation
- Ask the agent to email you a cancellation confirmation within 24 hours
- Say: "Please send me a confirmation email to [your email] confirming that my subscription was cancelled today"
- Note the agent's name, the call timestamp, and your reference number (if provided)
Cancel by post (most formal method)
Sending a written cancellation notice by post creates an undeniable record that is legally enforceable and demonstrates your intent to cancel with formality. This method is slower but carries maximum legal weight if MyPerfectCV later disputes whether you actually cancelled.
- Obtain MyPerfectCV's registered postal address
- This address is usually listed in the company's terms and conditions or on the website under "Legal" or "Contact Us"
- If not available online, email [email protected] and request the official cancellation address
- Write a formal letter on blank paper or your personal letterhead, including:
- Your full name, postal address, and email address
- The email address registered to your MyPerfectCV account
- The date you initiated your subscription
- A clear cancellation statement: "I hereby cancel my MyPerfectCV subscription effective immediately, in accordance with UAE Consumer Protection Law Federal Law No. 24 of 2006"
- Your requested refund method and bank details (if applicable)
- The date you sign the letter
- Sign the letter in blue or black ink
- Make two photocopies: one for your records and one to keep
- Post the original letter via registered or tracked mail so you have proof of delivery
- Use a service that provides a tracking number and delivery confirmation
- Keep the tracking number and delivery receipt in your records
- Allow 10-15 business days for MyPerfectCV to acknowledge receipt and process your cancellation
Refund timelines and what to expect
MyPerfectCV is legally required to process your refund within 30 days of receiving your cancellation request, provided you cancelled within the 14-day statutory period or the company breached its legal obligations.

If you paid through Google Play or the Apple App Store, the refund will be credited to your app store account balance.
What happens after you cancel
Once MyPerfectCV processes your cancellation, your subscription ends and you lose access to premium features, but your saved CV documents remain in your account for a limited period.
Access to your CV documents after cancellation
After cancellation, you can typically download your completed CV and cover letter files from your account dashboard within 30 days. Log in to myperfectcv.ae as usual, navigate to your documents, and download them in PDF or Word format. Do this immediately after cancellation, as MyPerfectCV may delete your files after your subscription expires.
Confirming the cancellation on your bank statement
Within 2-3 billing cycles, your bank statement should no longer show MyPerfectCV charges. If you continue to see recurring charges after you have cancelled and received confirmation, contact your bank immediately and dispute the transaction as unauthorized. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation confirmation email and your account dashboard screenshot showing cancellation status.
Monitoring for automatic reactivation
In rare cases, MyPerfectCV may automatically reactivate a subscription if you accidentally log into your account after cancellation. Check your email and bank statements weekly for the first month following your cancellation to confirm that no new charges appear. If you spot an unauthorized charge, contact your bank and escalate to the Advertising and Consumer Protection Bureau immediately.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Most cancellation disputes arise not from MyPerfectCV's refusal, but from consumers taking shortcuts that leave no documentation. Yafee has reviewed hundreds of cancellation cases across the UAE, and the strongest outcomes belong to customers who follow these safeguards.
Mistake 1: cancelling only through the app without confirming via email
If you use the MyPerfectCV mobile app (iOS or Android) to cancel, the confirmation may not reach your email account. Always follow up with an email cancellation request to [email protected], even if the app appears to show a cancellation status. This creates a second, independent record that is harder for the company to dispute.
Mistake 2: failing to request a confirmation within 24 hours
MyPerfectCV's systems sometimes malfunction or fail to register cancellation requests. If you do not receive written confirmation of your cancellation within 24 hours of submitting your request, send a follow-up email immediately. Do not assume the cancellation went through; demand explicit confirmation in writing.
Mistake 3: not screenshotting your confirmation
Digital records can disappear if MyPerfectCV removes your account or alters your account history. Screenshot every confirmation message, email receipt, and account status page you receive. Store these images in cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.) so they survive even if your device fails.
Mistake 4: discarding your original purchase receipt
Your original purchase email or app store receipt is critical proof of when your subscription began. Without it, you cannot prove whether you cancelled within the 14-day window. Preserve all transaction-related emails permanently.
Mistake 5: accepting a partial refund without objection
If MyPerfectCV offers to refund only a portion of your fee, do not accept this offer unless you are outside the 14-day window and the company can justify the deduction. Within 14 days, you are entitled to a full refund. If the company proposes a partial refund, respond in writing that you expect the full amount under UAE law, and escalate if necessary.
Pricing and subscription options for reference
Understanding what you paid for helps you justify your refund claim if MyPerfectCV disputes your cancellation.
| Subscription type |
Price (AED) |
Billing cycle |
Cancellation refund eligibility |
| Premium CV writing (one-time) |
199-399 |
One payment |
Full refund within 14 days |
| Monthly subscription |
29-49 |
Monthly auto-renewal |
Full refund if cancelled within 14 days; partial refund after |
| Annual subscription |
249-399 |
Annual auto-renewal |
Full refund within 14 days; prorated refund after |
| Free trial conversion |
29-49 (first month) |
Monthly after trial |
Full refund if cancelled before trial ends or within 14 days of first charge |
Prices vary based on promotional offers and app store regional pricing. If you paid a different amount, note the exact figure from your receipt; this detail strengthens your refund claim if MyPerfectCV argues about the amount owed.
How yafee helps you cancel safely and recover fees
Yafee specialises in guiding UAE consumers through subscription cancellations and refund disputes with digital service providers like MyPerfectCV. Our senior contract law specialists review the legal framework, draft formal cancellation requests on your behalf, and escalate your case to the Advertising and Consumer Protection Bureau if MyPerfectCV refuses to honour your statutory rights.
When you work with Yafee, you receive a written summary of your legal position, step-by-step cancellation guidance tailored to your specific purchase method, and professional representation if you need to escalate to the regulator. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers across the UAE recover subscription fees, challenge auto-renewal charges, and enforce their consumer rights against digital service companies. We document every interaction, preserve evidence, and ensure that your case is presented with authority and precision.
Why professional guidance matters
Many consumers attempt to cancel subscriptions without understanding UAE consumer law, missing the 14-day deadline, or failing to create sufficient documentation. Yafee removes this uncertainty by applying the legal framework directly to your circumstances, drafting your cancellation requests in formal language that MyPerfectCV cannot ignore, and escalating methodically if the company refuses. This approach recovers fees that would otherwise be lost.
Escalation pathway if MyPerfectCV refuses to refund you
If MyPerfectCV ignores your cancellation request, refuses your refund, or claims you are not eligible, you have enforceable escalation routes.
Step 1: send a formal letter of demand
Write a registered letter to MyPerfectCV (using the postal method described above) that explicitly states your legal entitlements under UAE Federal Law No. 24 of 2006, the date you cancelled, and the amount you expect to recover. Set a deadline of 10 business days for the company to refund you. Keep a copy of this letter.
Step 2: file a complaint with the advertising and consumer protection bureau
If MyPerfectCV does not respond within 10 days, submit a formal complaint to the Advertising and Consumer Protection Bureau (operating under the UAE Ministry of Commerce and Tourism). Include copies of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, purchase receipts, and the demand letter. The bureau will investigate and can order MyPerfectCV to refund you.
Step 3: dispute the charge with your bank or payment processor
Simultaneously, contact your bank or credit card issuer and initiate a chargeback dispute for the MyPerfectCV charge. Provide your bank with all supporting documentation. Your bank can reverse the transaction even if MyPerfectCV contests it, and the burden shifts to the company to prove the charge was legitimate.
Step 4: consider legal action or alternative dispute resolution
If the amount is substantial and the company continues to refuse, you may pursue small claims through the UAE court system or request arbitration. However, most cases are resolved at Step 2 or Step 3 once MyPerfectCV receives formal notice from the regulator or your bank.
Key takeaways and next steps
You have clear, enforceable rights to cancel your MyPerfectCV subscription under UAE Consumer Protection Law. Within 14 days of purchase, you are entitled to a full refund without penalty. After 14 days, you can still cancel, but your refund depends on whether MyPerfectCV honoured its legal obligations to disclose terms and obtain consent.
Use the online account dashboard method for speed, or send a formal email for documentation strength. Screenshot every confirmation, preserve your purchase receipt, and monitor your bank statement after cancellation. If MyPerfectCV refuses your refund, escalate to the Advertising and Consumer Protection Bureau and initiate a chargeback dispute with your bank simultaneously.
