How to cancel My Perfect Resume and reclaim your money
What is My Perfect Resume and why irish consumers cancel
My Perfect Resume is an online resume and cover letter builder that enables job seekers to create professional documents using pre-written templates, AI-powered content suggestions, and multiple downloadable formats. The service operates on a freemium model: you access fundamental features at no cost, but a premium trial converts automatically to paid subscription status unless you cancel before the trial window closes.
Many users in Ireland sign up for a discounted 14-day trial, download their completed resume, and then discover they are charged recurring fees because they did not actively cancel their subscription. This pattern reflects a widespread challenge with auto-renewal traps across digital services. At Yafee, we help thousands of Irish consumers understand their rights and execute cancellations correctly, so you retain control of your billing and avoid surprise charges on your payment method.
Why you may want to cancel My Perfect Resume
You might decide to cancel My Perfect Resume for straightforward reasons. The most common trigger is unexpected recurring charges after your trial period expires. Other users complete their resume and realise they no longer require ongoing access to the service. Some discover equivalent free tools, or find that the templates and wording suggestions do not match their professional needs or industry standards. The real obstacle is not deciding to cancel; it is navigating the cancellation process itself without confusion or payment delays. Yafee exists to guide you through every step with clarity and confidence.
Auto-renewal and disclosure under irish law
My Perfect Resume explicitly states that your trial converts to a recurring subscription automatically unless you cancel before the trial ends. This practice is legal under Irish consumer law, provided the company clearly discloses the terms beforehand. However, many users report that they did not receive reminder notifications before charges applied, or that the cancellation process itself appeared unclear or failed to execute. If you are charged without your authorisation after you believed you had cancelled, you have enforceable consumer rights. Yafee recommends taking screenshots of every step during cancellation, so you possess proof if a dispute arises with the company or your payment provider.

What each subscription tier includes
The free tier grants you access to resume and cover letter builders with limited design options and export formats. You can create a document, but exporting in premium formats such as PDF with advanced styling remains restricted. The premium trial provides 14 calendar days of full access: all templates, expert-written content suggestions, and unlimited downloads in every available format. Once your 14-day trial ends, your subscription renews automatically every four weeks at the recurring monthly rate unless you cancel before that date arrives. Yafee advises treating the trial end date as a hard deadline; do not assume the service will send reminder notifications or allow you to cancel after charges have already applied.
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
As an Irish consumer, you are protected by the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Distance Selling Regulations 2001, as retained and amended in Irish law. These laws grant you specific rights to cancel subscriptions and distance contracts within defined periods, and protect you from unauthorised charges.
The 14-day cooling-off period under irish law
Irish consumer law entitles you to withdraw from a distance contract, including online subscriptions, within 14 calendar days from the date you first became liable for charges. This is your statutory right under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If My Perfect Resume charged you EUR 2.50 for your trial on 1 January, you have until 14 January to cancel and request a refund without penalty. You do not need to provide a reason for your cancellation during this window. If you cancel within the 14-day period and the company refuses a refund, you can escalate your complaint to the Revenue Commissioners or the Consumer Rights Commission, the official enforcement body in Ireland.
Your legal position
You have a right to cancel My Perfect Resume at any time, even after the 14-day period expires. The company must process your cancellation request and cease charging you. If you have already paid for a subscription period you did not use, you may be entitled to a refund depending on the company's refund policy and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If the company refuses to honour your cancellation or refund request, you can file a formal complaint with the Consumer Rights Commission, which has statutory power to investigate and enforce compliance.
How to cancel your My Perfect Resume subscription
Follow these steps to cancel your My Perfect Resume account and prevent future charges.
Step 1: log into your My Perfect Resume account
Open your web browser and navigate to the My Perfect Resume website. Enter your email address and password in the login fields. If you have forgotten your password, select the "Forgot Password?" link and follow the email recovery instructions. Once you are logged in, you will see your account dashboard.
Step 2: navigate to your account settings and subscription page
From your account dashboard, locate the menu options. Click on "My Account" or "Account Settings"-the exact label may vary depending on your interface version. A dropdown menu or sidebar will appear. Select "Subscriptions" or "Billing" from the available options. This page displays your current subscription status, renewal date, and payment method.
Step 3: select the cancel or manage subscription option
On the Subscriptions page, you will see your active plan listed. Look for a button or link labelled "Cancel Subscription," "Manage Subscription," or "Edit Plan." Click this button. A confirmation screen will appear asking why you want to cancel (optional feedback) or offering alternative plans. Do not accept offers to downgrade or pause; proceed directly to cancellation if that is your intention.
Step 4: confirm your cancellation request
The system will ask you to confirm that you want to cancel. A dialogue box or new page will display your cancellation summary, including your subscription end date. Read this carefully: your cancellation is typically effective immediately, but you may retain access until the end of your current billing cycle. Click the "Confirm Cancellation" or "Yes, Cancel My Subscription" button. The page should display a confirmation message with a reference number. Take a screenshot of this message immediately.
Step 5: verify your cancellation by email
Check your email inbox (including your spam or promotions folder) within 5 minutes of clicking confirm. My Perfect Resume should send you a cancellation confirmation email that states your subscription has been cancelled and the date when you will stop being charged. If you do not receive this email within 10 minutes, log back into your account and check the Subscriptions page again. The status should now read "Cancelled" or "No Active Subscription." If the page still shows an active subscription, contact My Perfect Resume customer support immediately using the contact details on their website.
Step 6: check your payment method and dispute if necessary
After cancellation, monitor your bank account or credit card statement for the next 30 days. If My Perfect Resume continues to charge you after your confirmed cancellation date, contact your bank or card provider immediately and dispute the charge. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Under Irish consumer law and your bank's chargeback rules, you are entitled to recover unauthorised charges. Yafee advises keeping all cancellation screenshots and emails in a secure folder for at least 12 months in case you need to refer to them during a dispute.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding your refund eligibility under Irish law will help you pursue compensation if My Perfect Resume continues to charge you after cancellation.
Refund eligibility within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel your My Perfect Resume subscription within 14 calendar days of your first charge, you are entitled to a full refund of that charge under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. This right applies whether or not you have used the service. My Perfect Resume may deduct only the cost of services actually provided if you used the premium features. In practice, however, if you cancel before your trial ends, most reputable companies refund the trial fee in full. If My Perfect Resume refuses your refund request, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumer Rights Commission and request that they investigate the company's compliance with Irish consumer law.
Refund eligibility after 14 days
After the 14-day period expires, your statutory cooling-off right ends. However, you may still be entitled to a refund if you can demonstrate that the company failed to deliver the service as described, or if you cancelled before the next billing cycle. Some companies offer pro-rata refunds for unused portions of a subscription; others do not. Review My Perfect Resume's refund policy, typically found in their Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. If the policy contradicts your consumer rights, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 takes precedence, and you can dispute the company's refusal with the enforcement body.
How to request a refund if the company denies cancellation
If you have cancelled but My Perfect Resume continues to charge you, contact their customer support team with your cancellation confirmation email and reference number. Request a refund in writing by email. If they refuse within 14 days, escalate your complaint to the Consumer Rights Commission by submitting a formal complaint form on their website. Provide copies of your cancellation email, bank statements showing the charges, and your correspondence with My Perfect Resume. The Commission has statutory authority to compel refunds and impose penalties on non-compliant traders.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, but small errors can delay your request or result in continued charges.
Not taking screenshots of every confirmation page
The most frequent mistake is failing to document your cancellation. If you click "Confirm Cancellation" but do not screenshot the confirmation message, you have no proof that you submitted a valid request. If the company later claims they never received your cancellation, you cannot easily dispute their claim. Before you close any page during cancellation, take a screenshot that includes the confirmation message, reference number, and timestamp. Store these images in a dedicated folder with the date clearly visible.
Assuming email reminders will protect you from charges
Many users assume that My Perfect Resume will send them reminder emails before their trial or subscription renews. This assumption is risky. The company may send reminders, but these are not a legal guarantee. Your obligation to cancel before the renewal date is your own responsibility. If you wait for a reminder email that never arrives, you may be charged before you realise the deadline has passed. Mark your calendar with the trial end date and set a phone reminder for 3 days before that date, so you act well in advance of any automatic charge.
Attempting to cancel by email without following up
Some users email the support team requesting cancellation but receive no response and assume the request was processed. Do not rely on email alone, particularly if the company does not acknowledge your request within 24 hours. Always cancel through the website portal (as described in the step-by-step guide above) so you receive an immediate, visible confirmation. If you email the support team, follow up with a call or a second email within 48 hours to confirm receipt and processing. Yafee emphasises that the portal method is the fastest and most verifiable approach.
Not monitoring your bank statement after cancellation
After you have cancelled, many users assume the charges will stop immediately and do not check their statement. In reality, it can take 5-10 business days for a cancellation to process and for the final charge to cease. Some companies issue charges on specific dates (e.g., every 4 weeks from your sign-up date). If you cancelled on day 20 of a 28-day cycle, you may still be charged on day 28. Monitor your account closely for 30 days after cancellation. If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
What happens after you cancel your subscription
Cancelling your subscription is final, but understanding what occurs after you confirm cancellation will prevent confusion and ensure you do not lose access unexpectedly.
Access and timing
When you cancel My Perfect Resume, your access typically remains active until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if you are charged every 4 weeks and you cancel on week 2, you retain full access until week 4. After that date, your account reverts to the free tier, and premium features become unavailable. Download any documents you need (resume, cover letter, references) before your subscription expires. You cannot retrieve files created during a paid period once your premium access ends.
Reactivation and re-subscription
You can reactivate your My Perfect Resume subscription at any time by logging back in and selecting a plan. If you return within 30 days of cancellation, the company may offer you a discounted re-subscription rate to encourage you to return. However, you are under no obligation to accept these offers. If you do decide to resubscribe, you will start a new subscription period and be subject to the auto-renewal terms again. Read the terms carefully before you click "Subscribe."
Data retention and account closure
Cancelling your subscription does not automatically delete your account or your resume files. Your documents remain stored on the My Perfect Resume servers as long as your account exists. If you want to permanently delete your account and all associated data, contact customer support and request account deletion. Under the GDPR and Irish data protection law, the company must delete your personal data within 30 days of a verified deletion request. Keep the deletion confirmation email for your records.
Pricing comparison and subscription alternatives
Before you cancel, you may want to evaluate whether My Perfect Resume is genuinely the right tool for you, or whether an alternative service better meets your needs and budget.

When to keep your My Perfect Resume subscription
Keep your subscription if you are actively job hunting and use the guided suggestions regularly. If you plan to update your resume multiple times over the coming months and you value the expert wording suggestions and template variety, the recurring cost may be justified. If you are a non-native English speaker and you appreciate the AI-powered content feedback, the premium tier delivers value. Calculate: if you update your resume 4 times in a year, the cost per update is roughly EUR 7-8, which may be reasonable if each revision helps you secure interviews.
When to cancel and switch to free alternatives
Cancel if you have already downloaded your resume and do not plan to update it in the near future. Cancel if you have discovered that Canva, LinkedIn, or Microsoft Word templates meet your needs equally well at a lower cost or no cost. Cancel if you are uncertain whether you want to continue job searching. Most importantly, cancel immediately if you did not intend to activate the paid tier at all and were surprised by the auto-renewal charge. Do not stay subscribed "just in case" you might need it later; you can always reactivate if circumstances change. Yafee recommends that you make a deliberate choice based on your actual usage, not inertia or uncertainty.

What to store in your cancellation folder
Create a folder on your computer or in cloud storage titled "My Perfect Resume Cancellation." Store the following documents inside: (1) a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page from the website, including the reference number and timestamp; (2) the cancellation confirmation email from My Perfect Resume; (3) a PDF or screenshot of your bank statement showing the last charge before cancellation and confirming no charges appear after the cancellation date; (4) any correspondence with customer support if you contacted them about your cancellation. Keep these files for at least 12 months. If My Perfect Resume charges you again, you can provide these records to your bank, the Consumer Rights Commission, or a credit card chargeback team as proof of your cancellation request.
Escalation: what to do if My Perfect Resume refuses to cancel or refund
If you have followed the cancellation steps above and My Perfect Resume continues to charge you or refuses to issue a refund, you have statutory remedies available under Irish law.
Step 1: contact the company in writing and request a response
Send a formal email to My Perfect Resume customer support. Include your account email address, the date of your cancellation request, and your cancellation confirmation reference number. State clearly: "I cancelled my subscription on [date] and requested a full refund of EUR [amount] charged on [date]. I have not received a refund or acknowledgement of my cancellation. Please confirm in writing within 7 days that my account is cancelled and provide details of the refund and the date it will be processed." Keep a copy of this email and their response.
Step 2: contact your bank or credit card provider
If the company does not respond within 7 days or refuses your cancellation, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately. Inform them that you cancelled a subscription but were charged anyway. Provide your cancellation confirmation email and reference number as evidence. Request a chargeback or dispute resolution. Under Irish banking regulations and your card provider's dispute policy, you are entitled to recover unauthorised charges. The bank will investigate and, in most cases, refund you within 10-15 business days.
Step 3: file a complaint with the consumer rights commission
If the company still refuses to honour your cancellation or if your chargeback is unsuccessful, file a formal complaint with the Consumer Rights Commission, Ireland's official consumer enforcement body. Visit the Commission's website (ccpc.ie) and download the complaint form. Complete the form with your account details, the dates of all charges, your cancellation confirmation email, and details of your attempts to resolve the issue. Include copies of all supporting documents. Submit the form online or by post. The Commission will investigate the company's compliance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and may compel a refund, impose fines, or take enforcement action against My Perfect Resume if they have breached your rights.
Final summary and next steps
Cancelling your My Perfect Resume subscription is a straightforward process if you follow the steps outlined above. Log in to your account, navigate to Subscriptions, confirm your cancellation, and screenshot the confirmation. Monitor your email for a confirmation message and your bank statement for 30 days thereafter. If the company charges you after your cancellation date, dispute the charge with your bank or file a complaint with the Consumer Rights Commission.
Irish consumer law protects you. You have a right to cancel within 14 days and request a refund. You have a right to cancel at any time thereafter. You have a right to dispute any charges that appear after a valid cancellation. If My Perfect Resume does not honour these rights, the Consumer Rights Commission has statutory power to enforce compliance and award compensation.
