Cancel My Perfect Cover Letter: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel My Perfect Cover Letter and reclaim your subscription
Understanding My Perfect Cover Letter and why you might want to leave
My Perfect Cover Letter is a subscription-based platform designed to help UK job seekers create professional cover letters using AI-assisted writing tools, customisable templates, and targeted editing features. The service markets itself as a time-efficient alternative to manual cover letter writing, particularly valuable for professionals navigating competitive job markets. However, like most recurring subscription services, My Perfect Cover Letter charges your payment method automatically each month or year unless you actively initiate cancellation.
Many subscribers sign up during an active job search, expecting to use the service for a defined period. In practice, once you've secured employment or exhausted your job applications, the service continues debiting your account indefinitely. You may not notice the recurring charge until weeks or months have passed, at which point you've paid substantially for access you no longer use. This pattern is precisely why understanding your cancellation rights and procedure matters.
At Yafee, we specialise in helping consumers navigate subscription cancellations and recover unnecessary payments. Whether you've found your ideal role, identified free alternatives, or simply concluded the service no longer represents good value, cancelling My Perfect Cover Letter should be straightforward and transparent. This guide takes you through each cancellation step, identifies common pitfalls, and empowers you to exercise your consumer rights with confidence. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions and redirect funds to more meaningful expenses.
Why cancellation matters financially
The monthly cost of My Perfect Cover Letter may appear modest in isolation, typically ranging from £5.99 to £9.99. However, compound this over 12 months of unused access and the picture changes significantly. A £7.99 monthly subscription costs approximately £95.88 annually. Over two years, assuming you stopped using the service after three months, you've paid roughly £172 for negligible value.
Research into UK subscription spending reveals that forgotten or abandoned subscriptions cost the average consumer approximately £120 per year across all services combined. Identifying and cancelling My Perfect Cover Letter immediately restores this money to your budget. The sooner you act, the sooner you stop the recurring charge.
Why cancellation often feels deliberately inconvenient
Many subscription providers, including My Perfect Cover Letter, intentionally obscure cancellation pathways. You may search the homepage without finding a "Cancel subscription" button, or the process may require navigating through multiple account pages and confirmation screens. This friction is deliberate. Companies recognise that procedural obstacles discourage many subscribers from completing cancellation, thereby preserving recurring revenue.
However, UK consumer law provides you with explicit protections. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you possess the legal right to cancel any distance contract within 14 calendar days of purchase or service confirmation, with limited exceptions. Beyond this cooling-off period, providers must offer cancellation mechanisms, though they may impose reasonable notice periods. Yafee ensures you understand these statutory rights and can enforce them confidently.
Subscription pricing and what you're actually paying
Before cancelling, calculate your actual annual and two-year spending on My Perfect Cover Letter to reinforce your decision and identify any refund entitlements.
Current pricing structure
| Subscription tier | Monthly cost | Annual equivalent | Features included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic monthly | £5.99 | £71.88 | Core templates, basic editor, limited revision rounds |
| Standard monthly | £7.99 | £95.88 | All Basic features, AI writing assistance, unlimited revisions |
| Premium annual | £79.99 (one-off) | £79.99 | All Standard features, priority support, industry templates |
| Annual commitment (monthly billing) | £6.99/month (fixed 12 months) | £83.88 | Standard features, locked annual rate |
Hidden costs and cumulative impact
Beyond the headline subscription fee, consider payment processing fees if your bank charges for international transactions, currency conversion costs if you use a non-sterling payment method, and opportunity costs if you maintain active access without using the service. Over 24 months at £7.99 monthly, your total outlay reaches £191.76. Even the "discounted" annual premium option costs £79.99 per year, totalling £159.98 across two years.
Should you cancel My Perfect Cover Letter
This section helps you identify whether cancellation serves your current circumstances and financial priorities.
Strong reasons to cancel immediately
- You have secured permanent employment and no longer require job application materials
- You have identified free cover letter templates or alternative services that meet your needs at no cost
- You have not logged into your account for more than 30 days, suggesting abandonment
- You subscribed during a trial promotion and now face full-price charges
- Your financial circumstances have changed and discretionary spending requires reduction
- You are dissatisfied with template quality, AI suggestions, or customer support responsiveness
Circumstances where you might retain your subscription
- You are actively pursuing multiple job applications and use the service weekly
- You plan to transition roles within the next 3-6 months and anticipate renewed cover letter requirements
- You value the time savings and believe the monthly cost delivers quantifiable return on investment
- You are still within the 14-day cooling-off period and wish to test the service before deciding
How to cancel My Perfect Cover Letter step by step
This section guides you through the cancellation process using the official account management pathway, ensuring your cancellation is recorded and future charges cease.
Step one: locate your account settings
- Log into your My Perfect Cover Letter account using your registered email and password
- Visit the My Perfect Cover Letter login page (usually at myperfectcoverletter.com/login or similar)
- Enter your email address and password
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password?" link to reset it via email
- Once logged in, locate the account or settings menu
- This is typically found in the top-right corner under your account name or avatar icon
- Click on the account menu to reveal dropdown options
- Select "Account settings", "Subscription", "Billing", or similar terminology
Step two: review your current subscription details
- Within your account settings, find the Subscription or Billing section
- This page displays your current plan tier (Basic, Standard, or Premium)
- Note the next billing date, usually displayed prominently
- Confirm the payment method on file (debit card, credit card, or PayPal)
- Check whether you are within the 14-day cooling-off period from your original purchase date
- Record the next scheduled charge date
- If cancellation occurs before this date, you may avoid the pending charge
- Cancellations processed after the charge date typically do not refund that transaction
Step three: initiate cancellation
- Locate the cancel, downgrade, or manage subscription button
- This button may be labelled "Cancel subscription", "Pause subscription", "Downgrade plan", or "Manage billing"
- Click this button to open the cancellation workflow
- Select cancellation (not pause or downgrade) if you wish to stop all future charges
- Some providers distinguish between pausing (temporary suspension) and cancellation (permanent termination)
- Ensure you select permanent cancellation to prevent automatic reactivation
- Complete any exit survey or feedback form
- My Perfect Cover Letter may ask you to specify your cancellation reason
- This feedback is optional and does not affect your cancellation validity
- You may choose to provide constructive feedback or skip this step
Step four: confirm cancellation and retain your confirmation number
- Review the cancellation summary displayed on screen
- Confirm the cancellation effective date (usually immediate or at the end of your current billing cycle)
- Verify the final charge amount, if any
- Note whether you will receive a refund for unused subscription time
- Take a screenshot or record the cancellation confirmation number
- This number serves as proof of cancellation if disputes arise later
- Store this reference safely alongside your email receipt
- Confirm that the system displays "Subscription cancelled" or "Your subscription has been terminated"
Step five: verify cancellation via email confirmation
- Check your email inbox (including spam folders) for a cancellation confirmation from My Perfect Cover Letter
- This email typically arrives within 1-2 hours of completing the online process
- The email should state your cancellation date and confirm that future charges will not occur
- Archive this email for your records
- If you do not receive confirmation within 24 hours, log back into your account to verify cancellation status
- Re-enter your account settings and check the Subscription section
- It should now display "No active subscription" or "Cancelled" alongside the termination date
Step six: monitor your bank statement
- Check your payment method (debit or credit card) on your next billing date to confirm no charge appears
- Your statement should show no charge from My Perfect Cover Letter on or after your cancellation date
- If a charge does appear, this may indicate a system failure or require immediate escalation
- If an unauthorised charge appears after cancellation, contact your bank immediately and raise a dispute
- Your bank can reverse the charge and investigate the transaction
Refunds and what you're entitled to recover
Your entitlement to a refund depends on when you cancel and the relevant consumer law framework protecting your purchase.
Your legal position on refunds
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, if you cancel My Perfect Cover Letter within 14 calendar days of purchase or receiving the service confirmation, you are entitled to a full refund of all payments, provided you have not significantly used the service. The 14-day period begins on the date you received your order confirmation email, not the date you created your account.
If you cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period expires, your right to a refund depends on the provider's terms and conditions. Many subscription services do not refund partially used months, though they may credit unused annual subscriptions on a pro-rata basis. Yafee recommends checking your original terms of service or contacting customer support to clarify your specific refund eligibility.
How to request a refund if you qualify
- Calculate whether your cancellation falls within the 14-day cooling-off period
- Locate your original order confirmation email from My Perfect Cover Letter
- Count 14 calendar days from the date displayed on this email
- If your cancellation occurs within this period, you likely qualify for a full refund
- If you qualify for a refund, contact My Perfect Cover Letter customer support immediately
- Send an email to their support address (typically [email protected] or similar)
- State clearly: "I wish to exercise my right to cancel under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and request a full refund"
- Include your account email address, subscription dates, and the original order confirmation number
- Request written confirmation of the refund and expected processing timeline
- If you cancel outside the 14-day window, request a pro-rata refund for unused time
- Calculate the number of days remaining in your billing cycle
- Divide your monthly fee by the total days in that month, then multiply by unused days
- Request this amount via email and ask for processing within 14 days
Refund processing timelines
Once My Perfect Cover Letter approves your refund, the money typically returns to your original payment method within 5-10 business days. If you paid via credit or debit card, the refund appears as a credit on your next statement. If you paid via PayPal, the refund posts directly to your PayPal account. During bank holidays or weekends, processing may extend to 14 days. Yafee recommends following up with customer support if your refund does not appear within this timeframe.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation need not be fraught with complications if you avoid these typical pitfalls that consumers encounter during the process.
Mistake one: assuming cancellation has occurred without confirmation
Many users believe they have cancelled simply because they stopped logging in or failed to renew payment manually. In reality, if you do not actively cancel through the account settings, your subscription remains active and charges continue. Always obtain written confirmation, either on-screen or via email, before considering yourself cancelled.
Mistake two: cancelling too close to the billing date
If your next billing date is tomorrow and you cancel today, the system may still process the charge because the transaction already entered the payment queue. Cancel at least 2-3 days before your billing date to allow processing time. Check your billing date in your account settings before initiating cancellation.
Mistake three: forgetting to save your confirmation details
Without a cancellation confirmation number and screenshot, you have no evidence if My Perfect Cover Letter disputes your cancellation later or charges you again. Always record and store your confirmation information before closing the browser window.
Mistake four: missing the 14-day refund deadline
If you wish to claim a full refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you must act within 14 days of purchase. After this period, your refund eligibility diminishes significantly. If you are considering cancellation, initiate it promptly rather than delaying.
Mistake five: providing incomplete cancellation requests
If contacting support via email, always include your account email address, subscription dates, and any confirmation numbers. Vague requests lead to delays. Customer support representatives handle hundreds of requests weekly and cannot identify your account without specific information.
What happens after your My Perfect Cover Letter cancellation
Understanding post-cancellation logistics ensures you experience no service disruption or unexpected charges during the transition period.
Immediate access changes
Upon cancellation, your account status typically changes to "Inactive" or "Cancelled". You may retain read-only access to previously created cover letters for a defined period (often 30-90 days), allowing you to download or export your work before permanent deletion. However, you lose the ability to create new cover letters, access premium templates, or use AI writing assistance. Yafee recommends downloading and saving any documents you wish to retain before access expires.
Confirming no future charges
Monitor your bank statement for your next scheduled billing date. No charge should appear from My Perfect Cover Letter after your cancellation effective date. If a charge does appear, this indicates a system error or failed cancellation. Contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction and request a chargeback if necessary. Simultaneously, email My Perfect Cover Letter support with your cancellation confirmation number and request immediate reversal of the erroneous charge.
Exploring free alternatives
Once you cancel My Perfect Cover Letter, redirect your time and attention toward free resources. The UK National Careers Service provides free cover letter templates and guidance. Many universities offer career support services to alumni. Job boards such as Indeed, LinkedIn, and Reed often include free cover letter builders. Yafee users frequently report that these free resources meet their needs as effectively as paid subscriptions at zero cost.
Your consumer rights under UK law
British consumer law provides you with explicit statutory protections when purchasing subscription services at distance (online or by phone).
The consumer rights act 2015 and your cancellation entitlement
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is the primary legislation protecting your interests as a consumer. This Act grants you the right to cancel any distance contract, including subscription services, within 14 calendar days of receiving your order confirmation. This period is known as the cooling-off period. During this time, you may cancel your subscription without penalty, provided you have not materially used the service.
The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 complement the Consumer Rights Act 2015 by specifying that information about your cancellation right must be provided before purchase. If My Perfect Cover Letter failed to clearly disclose your 14-day cancellation right at the point of purchase, this breach may extend your cancellation window or strengthen your position if disputing a refusal to refund.
How to escalate if My Perfect Cover Letter refuses cancellation or refund
If My Perfect Cover Letter refuses your cancellation request or denies a refund you believe you are entitled to, escalate your complaint through the following channels:
- Send a formal complaint email to My Perfect Cover Letter customer support
- State clearly that you are issuing a formal complaint under the Consumer Rights Act 2015
- Specify your claimed breach (e.g., "Failed to provide cancellation confirmation" or "Refused pro-rata refund")
- Include all supporting documentation: order confirmation, cancellation screenshots, email correspondence
- Request a written response within 14 days
- If My Perfect Cover Letter does not respond satisfactorily within 14 days, escalate to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)
- The Financial Ombudsman Service is an independent dispute resolution service for financial complaints
- Submit your complaint via their online portal at financial-ombudsman.org.uk
- Provide copies of all correspondence and evidence supporting your complaint
- The FOS investigates at no cost to you and can compel the provider to refund or compensate you
- As a final escalation, report the provider to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) if you believe they have engaged in unfair contract terms or misleading practices
- The CMA investigates breaches of consumer law on a systemic basis
- Individual complaints alone do not trigger CMA action, but repeated patterns of complaints inform their enforcement priorities

Comparison: keeping versus cancelling My Perfect Cover Letter
This table synthesises the financial and practical case for either decision, allowing you to weigh circumstances relevant to your situation.
| Factor | Case for keeping | Case for cancelling |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per month | £5.99-£7.99 (reasonable for active users) | £5.99-£7.99 (significant if unused for 6+ months) |
| Job application frequency | Weekly or more (high active use) | None for past 30+ days (dormant account) |
| Available free alternatives | Limited quality or cumbersome interfaces | Numerous quality options (Indeed, LinkedIn, NHS templates) |
| Refund eligibility | Already outside 14-day window (lower priority) | Within 14 days of purchase (full refund available) |
| Financial priorities | Discretionary budget adequate for monthly fee | Need to reduce non-essential spending immediately |
| Future employment plans | Another job transition expected within 6 months | Secure in current role with no near-term change anticipated |
Key takeaways and next steps
Cancelling My Perfect Cover Letter is a straightforward process when you understand your statutory rights, follow the account-based cancellation pathway, and retain comprehensive documentation of your actions. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 protects your interests, guaranteeing a full refund within 14 days of purchase if you have not substantially used the service. Beyond this cooling-off period, most providers including My Perfect Cover Letter do not refund partially used months, though you may request pro-rata credits for unused annual subscriptions.
The financial case for cancellation strengthens if you have abandoned active job searching, discovered free alternatives that meet your needs, or encountered financial pressure requiring reduction in discretionary spending. A £7.99 monthly subscription costs nearly £192 over two years, money better redirected toward savings, debt repayment, or other priorities aligned with your current circumstances.
Yafee has guided thousands of consumers through the subscription cancellation process, helping them recover overlooked payments and regain control of their budgets. Whether you proceed with cancellation today or decide to retain your subscription, do so with full transparency about your options and your legal entitlements. If you encounter resistance from My Perfect Cover Letter, remember that the Financial Ombudsman Service provides cost-free dispute resolution, and the Competition and Markets Authority enforces consumer law on your behalf.
Act today by logging into your My Perfect Cover Letter account, navigating to your subscription settings, and initiating cancellation if it aligns with your financial and professional circumstances. Yafee remains available to support your consumer rights across all subscription platforms, helping you identify unnecessary recurring charges and cancel services that no longer deliver value. Your attention to these financial details, multiplied across all your active subscriptions, can free up substantial resources for priorities that genuinely matter.
