Frequently asked questions
Cancel Live Career: The Right Way
How to cancel your Live Career subscription and stop automatic payments
About Live Career and why you may want to cancel
Live Career is a UK-based online platform that helps job seekers build professional CVs, cover letters, and career documents using templated tools and automated formatting. The service operates on a subscription model, starting with a low-cost trial period that converts to recurring monthly charges unless you actively cancel before the trial ends.
Once you've created your CV versions, downloaded your documents, or secured the role you were applying for, the ongoing subscription often becomes unnecessary. Many users discover they've been charged repeatedly long after their immediate job search ended. At Yafee, we recognise that cancelling a subscription should be straightforward and transparent. This guide walks you through every step of the cancellation process under UK consumer law, ensuring you understand your rights and the practical actions you need to take.
How Live career's subscription model works
Live Career typically operates a trial-then-pay structure. You begin with a discounted trial period, usually 14 days at £0.95 to £2.95, which automatically renews as a paid monthly subscription unless you cancel before the trial expiration date. The platform does not send reminder notifications as your trial nears its end, so the first charge often appears as a surprise on your bank statement.
After the trial ends, you pay a recurring monthly fee (usually £15.95 to £24.95) every 30 days. If you've opted for a quarterly or annual plan, you face larger upfront charges but commit to a longer subscription term. Consequently, understanding which plan you're currently on is essential before you proceed with cancellation, as different terms have different cancellation eligibility and refund implications.
Common reasons to cancel Live Career
Job search needs are typically temporary. Once you've completed your CV, downloaded multiple formats for different applications, or moved into a new role, the platform's value decreases significantly. Other reasons include discovering free alternatives, moving to a competitor's service, realising you've been charged without regular use, or simply budgeting differently.
The most frequent cancellation trigger is discovering repeated charges months after your trial period ended. Many users subscribe, create their documents, then forget the subscription exists until reviewing their bank statements. Whatever your reason, Yafee recognises you deserve a clear, guilt-free cancellation process.
Your legal rights when cancelling Live Career
UK consumer law provides you with specific protections when cancelling a subscription to digital services or professional tools like Live Career.
Consumer rights act 2015 and distance selling rules
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which implements the Consumer Rights Directive, you have a 14-day cancellation period for distance contracts (online purchases) unless you have already accessed the service in full. For subscription services, this cooling-off period begins on the day you enter into the contract or the day you receive the terms and conditions, whichever is later.
Critically, once you have fully accessed the digital service (such as downloading and using your CV templates), your cancellation rights are affected. Nevertheless, you retain the right to cancel the ongoing subscription at any time after the initial 14-day period, provided you give reasonable notice in accordance with the contract terms. Live Career's terms typically require written notice via email or postal address with the subject line "Cancellation of contract".
Your legal position: You can cancel your Live Career subscription at any time by providing written notice of your intent to withdraw. If you cancel within 14 days of signing up and have not substantially used the service, you may be eligible for a full refund. After 14 days, you can cancel future charges but should not expect a refund for services already provided during that billing period.
Automatic renewal and transparency requirements
The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (now part of the Consumer Rights Act framework) requires that companies obtain your explicit consent before charging you on a recurring basis. Furthermore, they must send you clear reminders at least 15 days before each renewal charge is due. If Live Career has not sent you these reminders, you may have grounds to dispute charges or claim a refund.
In practice, this means Live Career should notify you before your trial converts to a paid subscription and before each subsequent monthly or quarterly renewal. If you did not receive these notifications, document this and use it as evidence when disputing charges with your bank or filing a complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Pricing, plans, and current charges
Understanding what you are currently paying for is the foundation of cancelling effectively and determining your refund eligibility.
Live Career pricing structure and plan types
Live Career's pricing varies depending on the plan you selected and any promotional periods in effect when you subscribed. The table below shows typical pricing for each subscription tier:
| Plan type | Duration | Key features | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trial period | 14 days | Full CV builder, all templates, unlimited downloads | £0.95 to £2.95 |
| Monthly subscription | One month, recurring | Unlimited CV updates, template library, full downloads | £15.95 to £24.95 |
| Quarterly plan | Three months | Extended access with modest savings versus monthly | £39.95 to £59.95 |
| Annual plan | 12 months | Best value if remaining; most restrictive for cancellation | £79.95 to £119.95 |
How to verify your current subscription
Before cancelling, log into your Live Career account and navigate to "Account Settings" or "Subscription Settings" to confirm which plan you're on and when your next renewal date falls. Alternatively, check your most recent bank statement or email confirmation from Live Career showing your current subscription tier and the amount charged.
Record this information in writing (screenshot or note) before you proceed with cancellation. Yafee recommends keeping this evidence in case you need to dispute a charge or file a complaint later.
How to cancel your Live Career subscription
Live Career provides two official cancellation methods: postal notice or email. Both methods require you to send a written statement clearly indicating your intention to cancel.
Step 1: gather your account information
Before you initiate cancellation, collect the following details from your Live Career account:
- Your registered email address
- Your account username or registration details
- Your current subscription plan type (monthly, quarterly, or annual)
- The date your subscription began and next renewal date
- Your registered postal address (if cancelling by mail)
Having this information ready ensures your cancellation request cannot be disputed or rejected due to insufficient identification.
Step 2: decide between email or postal cancellation
Live Career accepts cancellation notices via two channels:
- Email cancellation (recommended for speed and proof): Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation of contract". Include your full name, email address, account username, and a clear statement such as "I wish to cancel my Live Career subscription effective immediately" or "I request to withdraw from my subscription agreement".
- Postal cancellation (paper trail method): Write a letter or postcard addressed to Live Career's registered office. Write "Cancellation of contract" prominently at the top. Include your full name, email address, account details, and a clear cancellation statement. Post this via Royal Mail, preferably with Special Delivery so you have proof of posting.
Step 3: send your cancellation notice
If cancelling by email: Draft your cancellation email using the template below, then send it to [email protected]:
Subject: Cancellation of contract
Dear Live Career Support,
I wish to cancel my Live Career subscription effective immediately. My account details are as follows: Name [your full name], Email [your registered email], Username/Account Number [if applicable]. I request confirmation of this cancellation and confirmation that no further charges will be applied to my account.
Yours faithfully,
[Your name]
Send this email and retain a copy for your records. Yafee recommends saving the sent email in a dedicated folder for reference if disputes arise later.
If cancelling by post: Write your cancellation letter clearly, including all required information, then post it to the address provided in Live Career's terms and conditions or on their website (typically their registered company address). Use Royal Mail Special Delivery (£3.90 to £5.50) to obtain proof of posting and a tracking number. Keep this receipt and proof of posting with your correspondence file.
Step 4: request written confirmation
In your cancellation email or letter, explicitly ask Live Career to confirm your cancellation in writing and confirm that no further charges will be applied. This written confirmation is essential evidence if you later dispute charges or file a complaint with a regulatory body.
Live Career should respond within 7 to 14 business days. If they do not acknowledge your cancellation request or confirm the cancellation, follow up with a second email marked "Re: Cancellation of contract - Follow-up" or send a second postal notice.
Refunds and financial remedies after cancellation
Your entitlement to a refund depends on when you cancel relative to the 14-day consumer cooling-off period and your billing cycle.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 days of first subscribing and have not substantially accessed or downloaded the full service, you are entitled to a refund of all charges paid, including the trial fee. Live Career must process this refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice.
To qualify, you must demonstrate that you have not made extensive use of the CV builder tools, templates, or downloads. If you have downloaded multiple CV versions or used the platform extensively during this period, Live Career may argue you have accessed the service in full and therefore forfeit your refund right. Nevertheless, you retain the right to cancel future recurring charges.
Refunds after the 14-day period
After 14 days, you can cancel your subscription to prevent future charges, but you are not entitled to a refund for the current billing period already completed. For example, if you cancel on day 20 of a monthly subscription, you lose access immediately but do not recover the monthly fee already charged.
However, if your next renewal date is more than 7 days away, some credit card companies and financial institutions allow you to dispute the charge as "unauthorised" if Live Career failed to send you renewal reminders as legally required. Contact your bank for advice on this option.
Disputing charges and claiming refunds
If Live Career continues to charge you after you've cancelled, or if you believe the charges are unauthorised, you can raise a dispute with your bank or credit card provider. Your bank can initiate a chargeback or reversal on your behalf, typically within 120 days of the disputed transaction.
Provide your bank with: (1) a copy of your cancellation email or letter with the timestamp, (2) Live Career's confirmation of cancellation (if received), (3) evidence of the unauthorised charges on your bank statement, and (4) any communication from Live Career confirming the cancellation. Your bank will escalate this to Live Career's payment processor and determine the outcome within 7 to 30 days.
What to do after cancelling Live Career
Once you've submitted your cancellation notice, confirm your account access is terminated and monitor your bank statements carefully.
Verify cancellation in your account
After receiving Live Career's confirmation, log into your account to verify that your subscription status has changed to "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If the account still shows an active subscription, contact support immediately with your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
Monitor your bank statements for 30 days
Check your bank or credit card statement for the next 30 days to ensure no further charges appear. Live Career should stop charging after your cancellation takes effect, but billing errors occasionally occur. If an unexpected charge appears after your cancellation date, report it to your bank immediately and reference your cancellation notice as proof of your intent to cancel.
Download your documents before access expires
Most services, including Live Career, disable account access within 24 hours of cancellation. Before submitting your cancellation, download and save all your CVs, cover letters, and any other documents you've created. Store these files on your computer or cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) so you retain access to your work indefinitely.
Retrieve your data and check for recurring charges
In accordance with UK data protection law (UK GDPR), you have the right to request a copy of any personal data Live Career holds about you, including your account history and transaction records. You can file a Subject Access Request (SAR) if you need evidence for a complaint or dispute.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling is straightforward, but a few common errors can delay your cancellation or leave you vulnerable to continued charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling in your account without sending written notice
Some users believe clicking "Cancel Subscription" in their account dashboard completes the cancellation. Frequently, this merely sends a cancellation request that can be ignored or misprocessed by Live Career's backend systems. Instead, always send a formal written notice by email or post with "Cancellation of contract" as the subject or prominent heading. This creates an auditable record that stands up in disputes.
Mistake 2: forgetting to request written confirmation
If Live Career does not acknowledge your cancellation in writing, you have no proof of your intent to cancel. Always ask them to confirm the cancellation and confirm that no further charges will be applied. Yafee strongly recommends obtaining this confirmation before assuming your subscription has ended.
Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation email or postal receipt
If a dispute arises, your cancellation email (with timestamp) or postal receipt (with proof of posting) is your strongest evidence. Save screenshots, PDFs, or printed copies of these documents in a safe location. Do not rely on your email provider's trash or archives if the original message is deleted.
Mistake 4: failing to download your documents before cancellation
Once your account is deactivated, you lose access to your CVs, cover letters, and other creations. Download and save everything to your computer or cloud storage before sending your cancellation notice. After deactivation, retrieving these files becomes much more difficult.
Mistake 5: not checking for charges in the 30 days after cancellation
Billing systems can have delays, and Live Career may not immediately stop charging after receiving your notice. Monitor your bank statements closely for the next month. If an unauthorised charge appears, report it to your bank immediately with your cancellation evidence attached.
How to escalate a complaint if Live Career refuses to cancel
In rare cases, Live Career may reject your cancellation or dispute your entitlement to refund. You have formal avenues to escalate your complaint.
Step 1: submit a formal complaint to Live Career
Write a formal complaint email to Live Career titled "Formal Complaint Regarding Subscription Cancellation" outlining: (1) your cancellation notice and the date you sent it, (2) Live Career's response (or lack thereof), (3) the specific breach of contract or consumer law you believe has occurred, and (4) the remedy you seek (refund, access restoration, or confirmation of cancellation). Request a response within 14 days.
Step 2: escalate to the financial conduct authority (FCA)
If Live Career fails to resolve your complaint or refuses to refund unauthorised charges, you can file a complaint with the FCA's Consumer Awareness Centre. The FCA can investigate whether Live Career has breached the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Visit the FCA website (fca.org.uk) or contact them at [email protected] with documentation of your cancellation attempt and Live Career's response.
Step 3: contact citizens advice consumer service
Citizens Advice provides free, independent advice on consumer disputes and can escalate your case to the appropriate regulatory body. You can submit a complaint online at citizensadvice.org.uk or call 0800 223 1133. They will advise whether your situation warrants escalation to the FCA or ombudsman.
