How to cancel CV Wizard and stop recurring charges in malaysia
What is CV Wizard and why cancellation matters
CV Wizard is an online resume and cover letter builder operated by Resumedia BV, a Netherlands-based software company that charges a recurring monthly subscription to Malaysian users. The service offers a 14-day free trial, then automatically converts to a paid plan unless you cancel before the renewal date. Understanding how the platform works and the legal framework that governs your subscription is essential to avoiding unwanted charges.
For Malaysian consumers, your relationship with CV Wizard is governed by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), which grants you specific rights regarding unfair contract terms, misleading representations, and the right to cancel distance contracts. In disputes with CV Wizard, you may also rely on Dutch consumer law, since the service is operated from the Netherlands and its terms reference Dutch jurisdiction. Nevertheless, Malaysian law protects you as a local consumer purchasing services online.
The CV Wizard subscription model explained
CV Wizard operates on an auto-renewal model. You pay a monthly subscription fee (currently approximately RM94.35 per month) for unlimited access to the resume builder, cover letter generator, job matching tools, and application tracking features. The contract is not a one-time purchase; it renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you actively cancel before the renewal date arrives.
This auto-renewal arrangement is where confusion often arises. Many Malaysian users report being charged repeatedly after they believed they had stopped using the service. The responsibility to cancel rests with you; CV Wizard does not send mandatory reminder notices before billing occurs. Consequently, Yafee recommends you mark your renewal date in your calendar and cancel at least 3 to 5 days before the due date to ensure processing time.
CV Wizard support and contact details for malaysian users
CV Wizard does not maintain a published Malaysia-specific office address or dedicated local phone support line. Support is primarily available through the account dashboard, email channels, and an FAQ page on the official website. For cancellation queries, the company directs users to self-serve tools within their account settings first, with email escalation as a secondary option.
This lack of visible local infrastructure is typical of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers, but it does not diminish your rights as a Malaysian consumer. Yafee has supported thousands of users navigating similar situations and recommends documenting all support interactions by screenshot or email to create an audit trail if a dispute arises.
Your legal rights when cancelling CV Wizard in malaysia
Consumer protection act 1999 and your cancellation rights
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (a contract formed online or by phone without face-to-face negotiation) within a specified period. Although the CPA 1999 does not explicitly name a cooling-off period for software subscriptions in all cases, it prohibits unfair contract terms and requires merchants to provide clear cancellation mechanisms.
Your legal position: You can cancel your CV Wizard subscription at any time, and the company must process that cancellation within a reasonable timeframe (typically immediately upon confirmation). If CV Wizard charges you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, you have grounds to dispute the charge through your payment provider and escalate to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) if the company does not refund the disputed amount within 30 days.
Furthermore, if CV Wizard's terms are ambiguous about renewal dates, cancellation procedures, or refund eligibility, the CPA 1999 requires the company to interpret those terms in your favour as the consumer. This principle is called the rule of contra proferentem.
Unfair contract terms and misleading representations
CV Wizard's contract must not contain terms that are unfair, unconscionable, or unconscionable in the eyes of a reasonable consumer. If the renewal date is not clearly displayed, or if the cancellation button is buried in settings and deliberately hard to find, the MDTCA may deem such terms unfair under the CPA 1999.
Yafee advises that if you believe CV Wizard has misrepresented its billing terms, failed to honour a cancellation request, or charged you after you cancelled, you may file a complaint with the MDTCA. The MDTCA is the enforcement body responsible for protecting consumers against unfair trading practices in Malaysia.

CV Wizard advertises its pricing in US dollars on the global site (USD 19.99 per month), which converts to approximately RM94.35 based on current exchange rates. Your Malaysian payment provider may apply an additional currency conversion fee. Before paying, confirm the exact amount charged to your card by checking the pricing page on the CV Wizard website in your local currency, as rates fluctuate.
The company offers a 14-day free trial for new accounts. After 14 days, CV Wizard automatically bills your payment method unless you cancel before the trial expires. No refund is issued for the first trial period; the charge begins when you are billed for the first paid month.
Step 1: gather your account and billing information before cancelling
Before you initiate cancellation, take these preparatory steps to protect yourself and speed up the process if a dispute occurs later. Log into your CV Wizard account and note the exact renewal date displayed on your subscription page. Take a screenshot of your current plan, renewal date, and any active features you may want to preserve.
Download and save any resume, cover letter, or portfolio files in PDF or editable format (Microsoft Word or Google Docs). CV Wizard may restrict access to your files after cancellation, so preserve all documents you need before proceeding. Identify where you created your account: the CV Wizard website, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store, as the cancellation method differs for each platform.
- Log into your account and screenshot the subscription page showing the plan name and renewal date.
- Download all your CV and cover letter files to your device in PDF or Word format.
- Check your email for the original sign-up confirmation to confirm whether you subscribed via website, App Store, or Google Play.
- Note the payment method (credit card, debit card, Apple ID, or Google Play billing) you used when you signed up.
Step 2: cancel via the CV Wizard website account settings
If you subscribed directly through the CV Wizard website (cvwizard.com), this is the primary cancellation method. Log into your account using the email and password you created during sign-up. Navigate to your account profile by clicking the profile icon or avatar (usually in the top right corner of the page).
- Visit cvwizard.com and log in with your email address and password.
- Click your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner of the page.
- Select Settings or Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the Subscription or Billing section.
- Click the Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription button.
- Confirm the cancellation by clicking Yes, cancel my subscription when prompted.
- You will receive a cancellation confirmation email within a few minutes. Save this email as proof of cancellation.
If you do not see the cancellation button, refresh the page in your browser, clear your browser cache, or try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge). Ensure you are logged into the same account used for payment. If the button remains unavailable after these steps, move to the email support method described below.
Step 3: cancel a subscription purchased via apple app store
If you subscribed to CV Wizard through the Apple App Store on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, your subscription is managed through your Apple ID and must be cancelled through Apple's system, not through the CV Wizard app itself.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID profile.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find and tap CV Wizard in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm your cancellation choice by following the on-screen prompts.
- Apple will send you an email confirmation to the email address associated with your Apple ID.
On a Mac computer, open the App Store app, click your profile picture in the bottom left, select Account Settings, navigate to Subscriptions, find CV Wizard, and click Manage, then Cancel. Your cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle.
Step 4: cancel a subscription purchased via google play store
If you subscribed to CV Wizard on an Android device through Google Play, you must cancel the subscription in Google Play, not within the app. CV Wizard's in-app settings do not control Google Play subscriptions.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select CV Wizard from your list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation.
- Google will send you a confirmation email to the address linked to your Google account.
Your cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to CV Wizard until your paid period ends; no immediate access loss occurs.
Step 5: cancel via email if self-service methods do not work
If the website, App Store, or Google Play cancellation methods fail or remain unavailable, contact CV Wizard support directly via email. Send a cancellation request to the support email address listed on the CV Wizard website (typically [email protected] or similar).
In your email, include your full name, the email address associated with your CV Wizard account, your account creation date, your current subscription plan, and your renewal date. Clearly state that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately and that you expect confirmation within 48 hours. Request a reply confirming your cancellation date and final billing date.
- Use the subject line: Cancellation Request for CV Wizard Account [Your Email Address]
- Include your full name and the email address registered with CV Wizard.
- State your account creation date and current renewal date if known.
- Write: "I hereby request cancellation of my CV Wizard subscription effective immediately. Please confirm this cancellation in writing within 48 hours and provide a final billing date."
- Send the email and save a copy to your records.
Yafee recommends using a method that generates an email receipt (such as Gmail or Outlook) so you have proof of your cancellation request timestamp. Keep this email, the cancellation confirmation you receive, and any CV Wizard account screenshots in a folder for future reference.
What happens after you cancel CV Wizard
Immediate access and billing timeline after cancellation
Upon successful cancellation, CV Wizard will not charge your payment method at the next renewal date. Your access to the paid features continues until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if your renewal date is 15 February 2025 and you cancel on 10 February 2025, you retain full access until 15 February 2025, after which your account reverts to the free plan (if available) or becomes inaccessible.
CV Wizard does not issue refunds for unused portions of your current billing period under standard terms. If you cancel on 1 February but your renewal date is 28 February, you have paid for the full month and cannot reclaim the unused days. However, if CV Wizard charged you after you cancelled, or if you cancelled within the first 14 days of trial, you may be entitled to a refund.
Accessing your data and files after cancellation
After cancellation, your resume, cover letter, and profile data may become inaccessible after your billing period ends. Download all important files before your access terminates. CV Wizard may delete inactive account data after 90 to 180 days of cancellation, depending on their data retention policy.
If you need to access your files after cancellation, you must reactivate your subscription or contact support to request a data export. Consequently, preserving your files before cancellation is essential.
Refund eligibility and how to request a refund
When CV Wizard should issue a refund
CV Wizard does not typically offer refunds for completed billing periods once the trial has ended. However, you are entitled to a refund if one or more of these circumstances applies: you cancelled within 14 days of creating your account; you were charged after you submitted a valid cancellation request; the company charged you a duplicate amount in error; or you can demonstrate that the service did not match the description provided at sign-up.
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to reject goods or services that are not of merchantable quality or do not match the description. If CV Wizard's features do not function as advertised, you may request a refund by citing this provision.
How to request a refund from CV Wizard
Contact CV Wizard support via email with your refund request. Include a clear reason for the request, your account email, the transaction date, the amount charged, and the reference number or confirmation code from your payment receipt. Request a response within 14 days.
- Send an email to CV Wizard support ([email protected] or similar address on their website).
- Use the subject line: Refund Request for CV Wizard Account [Your Email Address]
- State your reason: "I was charged after cancellation" or "I cancelled within 14 days of trial" or "Duplicate charge applied in error."
- Include your payment transaction ID, date charged, and amount (e.g., "Charged RM94.35 on 10 January 2025").
- Request a refund to your original payment method within 14 days and ask for written confirmation.
- Save the email you send and any reply you receive.
If CV Wizard does not respond within 14 days or denies your refund request unreasonably, you may escalate to your payment provider (your bank or credit card company) and file a chargeback or dispute claim. Yafee advises that you provide your bank with copies of the original cancellation confirmation and the refund rejection email as supporting evidence.
Common mistakes when cancelling CV Wizard
Mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, but small errors can cause delays or failed cancellations. The most frequent mistake is cancelling through the wrong platform. If you subscribed via Google Play but attempt to cancel on the website, the subscription will remain active, and your next charge will process as scheduled. Always cancel through the platform where you originally purchased the subscription.
A second common error is assuming that deleting the CV Wizard app from your phone cancels your subscription. Removing the app does not stop recurring charges; you must cancel the subscription through your device's subscription settings before uninstalling the app.
Many users also cancel but forget to save their resume files beforehand. After cancellation, you may lose access to your documents. Download all files in PDF or Word format before you submit the cancellation request. Furthermore, users sometimes miss the confirmation email after cancellation. Check your inbox and spam folder for the confirmation message, and save it as proof of cancellation.
Charges after cancellation and how to dispute them
If you receive a charge from CV Wizard after you cancelled, do not panic. This can occur if the cancellation processed after the billing system had already authorised the next charge. Contact CV Wizard support immediately and provide your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot as proof.
If the company does not refund the charge within 10 business days, contact your bank or payment provider and file a dispute claim. Provide your bank with:
- Screenshots of your CV Wizard account showing the cancellation.
- The cancellation confirmation email from CV Wizard.
- Your original payment receipt and the disputed charge receipt.
- Email correspondence with CV Wizard support, if any.
Your bank will initiate a chargeback investigation and reverse the charge if you provide sufficient evidence. This process typically takes 10 to 30 days, depending on your financial institution.

- Email support: Submit a request via the website contact form or email [email protected] (verify the current address on the website).

Yafee recommends documenting all support interactions by email or in-app chat to create an audit trail. If CV Wizard is unresponsive or refuses to honour a valid cancellation or refund request, escalate to the Malaysian enforcement authorities.
Escalation to the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs (MDTCA)
If CV Wizard ignores your cancellation request, refuses an entitled refund, or continues charging you after cancellation, you may file a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA), the official consumer protection authority in Malaysia.

- Your cancellation confirmation (email or screenshot).
- All correspondence with CV Wizard support.
- Bank statements showing the disputed charges.
- The CV Wizard terms and conditions you agreed to.
The MDTCA will investigate and, if it finds that CV Wizard violated consumer protection law, may order the company to refund you or take further enforcement action. Complaints are typically processed within 30 to 60 days.
