Frequently asked questions
Cancel Perfect CV: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Perfect CV subscription and claim your refund in the UK
Why you might want to cancel Perfect CV
Perfect CV provides professional curriculum vitae writing and career development services to clients across the United Kingdom. Circumstances change, however. You may have secured employment, discovered a more cost-effective alternative, or found that the service fails to meet your expectations. Whatever your reason, UK consumer protection law grants you clear, enforceable rights, and Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process with precision and clarity.
Cancelling Perfect CV is straightforward once you understand the legal framework. Whether you fall within the statutory cooling-off period or beyond it, you retain options. This guide walks you through every cancellation method, refund eligibility criteria, and your consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
Common reasons consumers cancel
You might cancel because the CV service has not delivered tangible results, you have secured employment and no longer require professional writing support, or you have identified a competitor offering better value. Some clients discover unexpected fees, whilst others find the revision process slower than promised. Many cancel within 14 days of purchase, precisely when your legal cooling-off rights are strongest and most valuable.
When cancellation makes financial sense
Cancel immediately if you harbour doubts about service quality or have not yet received substantive work. If you have had only one initial consultation and no draft documents have been completed, you occupy an ideal position to cancel with minimal friction and maximum refund protection. If you have been charged for ongoing services you did not authorise, cancellation becomes urgent. Yafee recommends that you review your email receipts and any terms and conditions you accepted before proceeding.
Your consumer rights under UK law
UK consumer law provides robust protections when you cancel distance services such as professional CV writing.
The 14-day statutory cooling-off period
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you hold a statutory right to cancel within 14 days from the date you enter into the contract or receive the service, whichever is earlier. This means you can cancel without providing any reason, and Perfect CV must refund you in full. The clock starts when you make payment, not when you receive your first draft.
Your legal position: Check your email receipt immediately. The date shown is the start of your cooling-off period. You have precisely 14 calendar days to notify Perfect CV of your cancellation decision.
There is, however, a material limitation. If Perfect CV has already substantially completed the service before day 14, they may deduct reasonable costs from your refund. A completed and revised CV document counts as substantially performed work. You cannot demand a full refund after receiving, reviewing, and implicitly accepting a finished product. Yafee advises you to contact Perfect CV without delay if you wish to cancel within 14 days, before they progress beyond the initial draft stage.
Cancellation rights after the 14-day period
Once 14 days have elapsed, your cooling-off right expires. However, you retain grounds to cancel if Perfect CV has breached their contractual obligations. For example, if they have missed agreed deadlines, delivered work that is unfit for purpose, or failed to meet industry standards for professional CV writing, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires all services to be performed with reasonable care and skill. If they have failed that standard, you can cancel and claim a partial or full refund.
Document all failures meticulously. Screenshot missed deadlines, save all drafts showing poor quality, and maintain records of revision requests they ignored. This evidence strengthens your position significantly if Perfect CV disputes your refund claim.
Protection against hidden and unfair charges
Perfect CV must declare all charges transparently before you pay. If they have added unexpected fees for rush processing, additional revisions beyond your package terms, or services you did not request, you can challenge these under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. Yafee recommends that you request an itemised invoice showing exactly what you have been charged for and cross-reference it against the terms you agreed to at purchase.
Methods to cancel your Perfect CV account
Perfect CV offers several cancellation routes depending on your account type and payment method.
Cancel via email to Perfect CV's customer service team
This is the most straightforward and legally safest method. You create a written record that you can reference if a dispute arises. Locate the customer service email address on the Perfect CV website or in your welcome email.
- Open your email client and compose a new message to Perfect CV's support address.
- Use the subject line "Request for cancellation and refund" to ensure clarity.
- Include your full name, email address registered with Perfect CV, and your account number (if you have one).
- State clearly that you wish to cancel your subscription with immediate effect.
- If you are within the 14-day cooling-off period, explicitly state this: "I am writing to cancel within my statutory 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013."
- If you are cancelling after 14 days, specify your breach grounds: "I am cancelling because Perfect CV has failed to deliver work of reasonable quality, in breach of the Consumer Rights Act 2015."
- Request a full refund and ask Perfect CV to confirm the refund method and timeline.
- Ask them to provide their cancellation confirmation in writing.
- Keep this email in a dedicated folder for your records.
- Send the email and retain a copy. Perfect CV must respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically 5 to 10 working days.
Cancel via your payment provider (if Perfect CV fails to respond)
If Perfect CV does not respond to your email within 10 working days, or if they refuse a refund you believe you are entitled to, you can escalate to your bank or payment provider.
- Contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback or reversal.
- Explain that you cancelled a service within your legal rights under UK consumer law.
- Provide your email to Perfect CV as evidence of the cancellation request.
- Your bank will investigate and may recover your funds without further action from Perfect CV.
- This process typically takes 30 to 60 days. Your bank may ask Perfect CV to defend their position, but you are protected by consumer law.
Escalate to trading standards if Perfect CV refuses
If Perfect CV disputes your refund claim or ignores your cancellation request, you can lodge a complaint with Trading Standards, the UK authority responsible for enforcing consumer protection law.
- Visit the Citizens Advice consumer service website and submit a complaint against Perfect CV.
- Include copies of your cancellation email and any refusal from Perfect CV.
- Explain which consumer law you believe they have breached (Consumer Rights Act 2015 or Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013).
- Trading Standards will contact Perfect CV on your behalf and attempt to resolve the dispute.
- If Trading Standards action does not succeed, you retain the right to pursue a claim in the small claims court for the refund amount.
Your refund timeline and what to expect
Perfect CV is legally required to process your refund promptly after receiving a valid cancellation request.
Within the 14-day cooling-off period, Perfect CV must refund you in full within 14 calendar days of receiving your cancellation notice. They cannot delay this refund or impose penalty charges. If you cancelled by email, their receipt of that email marks the start of the 14-day refund clock.
After the 14-day period, if you are cancelling for breach of contract, the timeline becomes less prescriptive, but Yafee advises you to expect a response within 20 working days. If Perfect CV has not acknowledged your cancellation or begun processing a refund within this window, escalate to Trading Standards immediately.
Refunds are typically returned to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account). If you paid by card, the refund may take 3 to 5 working days to appear. If you paid via bank transfer, allow up to 10 working days.
Pricing and service costs at a glance
Understanding what you have paid for helps you determine whether you are entitled to a full or partial refund.
| Service tier | Typical cost (GBP) | What is included | Refund eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic CV writing | £49-£99 | Initial CV draft, one revision round | Full refund within 14 days; partial after if service incomplete |
| Professional CV plus cover letter | £129-£199 | CV, cover letter, LinkedIn profile review | Full refund within 14 days; deduct completed elements after |
| Premium career package | £249-£399 | CV, cover letter, interview prep, unlimited revisions | Full refund within 14 days; pro-rata refund after if partially used |
| Monthly subscription | £19-£29 per month | Ongoing access to revision and advice services | Full refund for first month within 14 days; cancel future months anytime |
Yafee recommends that you cross-reference your invoice against this table. If you have been charged a higher price than advertised, you can challenge this under unfair contract terms legislation.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation disputes often arise from preventable errors. The good news is that understanding these pitfalls will protect you from costly setbacks.
Mistake 1: failing to cancel in writing
Verbal cancellations-whether by phone call or live chat-leave no evidence. Perfect CV may deny receiving your request. Always cancel by email or through a documented channel. Yafee advises you to use email because it creates an automatic timestamp and receipt confirmation.
Mistake 2: cancelling after the work is substantially complete
If you have received a finished, revised CV and had time to review it, Perfect CV has valid grounds to refuse a full refund, even within 14 days. Cancel as soon as you decide the service is not right for you, before they move beyond the first draft.
Mistake 3: accepting revisions without intending to keep the service
Requesting multiple revisions signals implicit acceptance of the service. If you request changes, then cancel shortly after, Perfect CV may argue you have benefited from their work. Keep your cancellation email separate from any revision requests.
Mistake 4: not keeping copies of your correspondence
If Perfect CV deletes your cancellation email or claims they never received it, you will struggle to prove your cancellation date. Save every email, take screenshots of live chats, and forward copies to yourself or store them in cloud storage. This is your legal evidence.
Mistake 5: missing the 14-day deadline without documenting why
If you cancel after day 14, you must have compelling evidence of breach (missed deadlines, poor work quality, hidden charges). Without documentation, Perfect CV can refuse your refund. Record problems as they occur, do not wait until you are ready to cancel.
What happens after your cancellation is processed
Once Perfect CV confirms your cancellation and refund, your obligations and entitlements shift.
Access to your account and documents
After cancellation, Perfect CV will typically revoke your access to your account. However, you are entitled to download and retain any documents they have created (your CV drafts, cover letters, or notes). Request these before your account closes. If Perfect CV refuses to provide your documents, escalate to Trading Standards, as this may violate data protection principles under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Prohibition on recharging after cancellation
Perfect CV cannot recharge you after you have cancelled. If you are on a monthly subscription and you cancel mid-month, they cannot bill you for the following month. If a charge appears on your account after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and request a reversal as an unauthorised transaction.
Your right to a cooling-off period reversal
If you cancel within 14 days, Perfect CV cannot penalise you or claim that you have "misused" their service to gain a free write-up. The cooling-off period exists precisely to protect you from commitment regret. You are entitled to change your mind without consequence.
If Perfect CV refuses to refund you
Yafee has seen cases where Perfect CV disputes refund claims. Here is your escalation route.
Step 1: request a refusal in writing
If Perfect CV verbally refuses a refund, respond with an email: "I note your refusal to refund my cancellation. Please confirm this refusal in writing, setting out the specific contractual or legal grounds." Perfect CV often backs down when forced to justify their position in writing.
Step 2: file a complaint with trading standards
Perfect CV is regulated by Trading Standards under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. File a formal complaint detailing why you believe their refusal is unlawful. Provide your cooling-off date or evidence of breach. Trading Standards will investigate at no cost to you.
Step 3: pursue a small claims court action
If Trading Standards does not resolve the dispute, you can issue a claim in your local county court for the refund amount. The small claims track handles claims up to £10,000 with minimal legal formality. Yafee recommends that you gather all evidence (emails, screenshots, proof of payment) before instructing a solicitor or representing yourself.

Comparing Perfect CV against alternative providers
Before you cancel, consider whether a different service might meet your needs better. This comparison table outlines key alternatives and how their cancellation policies compare.
| Service provider | Starting price (GBP) | Cooling-off period | Key differentiator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yafee-recommended option | £39-£89 | 14 days (full refund) | Transparent pricing, unlimited revisions |
| CV Library | £24.99 per month | 14 days (subscription only) | Large CV database and recruiter access |
| Canva CV templates | Free-£119 (one-off) | 30 days (full refund) | DIY design tool with AI writing assistance |
| TopCV | £79-£299 | 7 days (limited refund) | Professional writing team, personalised service |
Yafee advises that you evaluate whether the service failure is repairable (e.g., poor revision turnaround) or terminal (e.g., fundamentally unsuitable approach to your CV). If repairable, request a revision and deadline before cancelling. If terminal, cancel immediately and reinvest in a provider aligned with your career goals.
Summary: your legal position and next action

Your cancellation request must be in writing (email is ideal). Perfect CV has 14 days to process your refund from the date they receive your cancellation notice.
