How to cancel ResumeCoach in malaysia and avoid double billing
What ResumeCoach is and why you need to cancel correctly
ResumeCoach is a subscription-based software service (SaaS) that provides AI-powered resume and cover letter templates, unlimited document downloads in PDF and TXT formats, and job application optimisation tools. You pay a recurring monthly fee to access these features, and the service operates on an automatic renewal model that many Malaysian users find confusing.
The core issue is this: ResumeCoach offers a 14-day free trial that converts into paid billing on day 15 if you do not cancel within the trial window. After that, your subscription renews automatically every 28 days, not on the calendar date you signed up. This 28-day cycle, rather than a monthly one, catches many users off guard. Yafee helps consumers understand exactly how these billing cycles work so you avoid unexpected charges.
How ResumeCoach pricing works in malaysia
The published pricing for ResumeCoach Premium is displayed in US dollars on the official website. Malaysian users will see this converted to Malaysian Ringgit (RM) at the point of checkout, though the exact amount fluctuates slightly depending on your bank's foreign exchange rate and any card processing fees they apply.
Based on verified data, the equivalent premium plan costs approximately RM 11.00 per billing cycle. However, because ResumeCoach operates on a 28-day renewal cycle rather than a calendar month, your next charge date depends on exactly when you signed up, not when each calendar month begins. This is a critical detail: if you subscribe on the 15th of any month, your second charge arrives 28 days later, on the 12th or 13th of the following month, not on the 15th.

Why users in malaysia often struggle to cancel
ResumeCoach support operates on European Central Time (CEST), Monday to Friday, 11:00 to 20:00. This means if you are in Malaysia (UTC+8) and need help during your evening, you are already outside their working window. There is no verified live chat, local phone number, or dedicated Malaysian support team. Email responses can take 24 to 48 hours, and that delay can push you past your cancellation deadline if your billing date is imminent.
Additionally, many users report that the in-account cancellation option is not immediately obvious in the settings menu. Some say they tried to cancel but the button did not work, or they received contradictory information from support staff about whether they had actually unsubscribed. This is why Yafee recommends you follow the exact step-by-step procedure below and take screenshots at every stage.
Your legal rights and consumer protection in malaysia
Your cancellation rights are protected under Malaysian consumer law, specifically the Consumer Protection Act 1999 and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA), which governs distance selling and digital services.
What the consumer protection act 1999 guarantees you
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you have the right to cancel any distance contract (including online subscriptions like ResumeCoach) within seven working days of purchase without providing a reason. This seven-day period is known as the "cooling-off period." If ResumeCoach has not explicitly stated a longer cancellation window, the seven-day default applies. However, note that digital services consumed before the end of the cancellation period may not be refundable if you have already downloaded or fully used them.
Furthermore, the Consumer Protection (Distance Contracts) Regulations 2001 requires ResumeCoach to provide you with clear, written terms before you complete your purchase. These terms must state the cancellation method, the cooling-off period, and any conditions that apply. If the company has failed to provide this information clearly, your cancellation rights may be extended.
Your legal position when cancelling ResumeCoach
You have the right to:
- Cancel your ResumeCoach subscription at any time after purchase without penalty, unless you are outside the 14-day trial and the company's own terms explicitly state otherwise.
- Request a full refund of charges incurred if you cancel within the Consumer Protection Act cooling-off period (seven working days from purchase) and you have not fully consumed the service.
- Require ResumeCoach to confirm your cancellation in writing (via email confirmation).
- Escalate your complaint to the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (FOMCA) or your state's Department of Consumer Affairs if ResumeCoach refuses to cancel or continues to charge you after you have submitted a cancellation request.
Yafee advises that you keep all communications, screenshots, and card statements as evidence that you attempted to cancel. This documentation is essential if you need to file a formal complaint with a consumer authority.
How to cancel ResumeCoach on the website
The direct cancellation path inside your ResumeCoach account is the fastest and most reliable method for Malaysian users.
Step 1: log in to your account
Open your web browser and navigate to resumecoach.com. Click "Log In" in the top right corner. Enter your email address and password, then select "Sign In."
Step 2: open your account settings
Once you are logged in, look for the account icon (usually a profile picture or initials) in the top right corner of the page. Click it to reveal a dropdown menu. Select "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the list.
Step 3: find the subscription management section
Inside Settings, locate the section labelled "Manage my account" or "Billing" or "Subscription." The exact wording may vary slightly depending on updates to the interface, but the cancellation option sits in this area. Click on it.
Step 4: select the cancellation option
You will see a question or button that says "Do you want to cancel your Premium account?" or "Cancel my subscription." Click on this option. You may be asked to confirm your reason for cancelling (optional) and acknowledge that your access will end on your next renewal date.
Step 5: confirm the cancellation
A confirmation dialog will appear asking you to confirm your choice. Select "Yes, cancel my account" or similar wording. The system will then process your cancellation request.
Step 6: save your confirmation
Once the cancellation is complete, a confirmation message will appear on screen. Take a full screenshot that includes the date, time, your email address, and the cancellation confirmation text. If you receive a confirmation email within the next hour, save that message in a dedicated folder for your records. If you do not receive an email within two hours, contact ResumeCoach support with your screenshot as evidence.
Cancelling through the official unsubscribe page
If you cannot locate the cancellation option in Settings, ResumeCoach provides a dedicated unsubscribe page that serves as a direct shortcut.
Using the direct unsubscribe link
- Log in to your ResumeCoach account.
- Paste this URL into your browser: resumecoach.com/unsubscribe
- The page will load with your account details pre-filled. Review your email and subscription status to ensure it is correct.
- Click "Cancel my subscription" or the equivalent button displayed on that page.
- A confirmation prompt will appear. Select "Yes, I want to cancel" to finalise.
- Save a screenshot of the final confirmation screen.
Cancelling if you subscribed through an app store
If you signed up for ResumeCoach via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that platform, not through the ResumeCoach website. Cancelling on the website will not stop app store billing.
Cancelling on the apple app store (iPhone or iPad)
- Open the Apple App Store app on your device.
- Tap the account icon (profile picture) in the bottom right corner.
- Select "Subscriptions."
- Find "ResumeCoach" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap "ResumeCoach" to open its details page.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the page.
- Choose your reason (optional) and confirm "Stop Subscription" or "Cancel."
- A confirmation message will appear. Take a screenshot showing your email and the cancellation timestamp.
Cancelling on google play store (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Manage subscriptions."
- Find "ResumeCoach" in the list of active subscriptions and tap it.
- Tap "Cancel subscription."
- Choose your reason (optional) and tap "Cancel subscription" again to confirm.
- Google Play will show a cancellation confirmation. Take a screenshot for your records.
If the above steps do not work or you receive an error message, contact ResumeCoach support directly.
Email support
Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Request to cancel my subscription." Include your full name, email address associated with the account, and the date you wish the cancellation to take effect. Attach a screenshot of your account settings or billing page showing your active subscription. Expect a response within 24 to 48 hours; however, because ResumeCoach operates on European time, responses may arrive outside Malaysian business hours.
Phone support
Call +1 (844) 333-0735 during their operating hours: Monday to Friday, 11:00 to 20:00 CEST. Because this is a US-based number with international dialling, your call will incur international charges on your phone bill. Note that 11:00 to 20:00 CEST corresponds to 17:00 to 02:00 Malaysia Time (next day), so you will need to call outside standard Malaysian working hours.
What to say when you contact support
When you communicate with support, be direct and specific. Say: "I want to cancel my ResumeCoach Premium subscription effective immediately. Please confirm this cancellation in writing via email. I am enclosing a screenshot of my account and my card statement showing the most recent charge."
Do not accept vague responses like "Your request has been noted" without a specific cancellation date. Ask for written confirmation that includes the exact date your subscription will end and the last billing date. If support says they need to "process" your request, ask for an estimated timeline and follow up if you do not receive confirmation within 48 hours.
What happens after you cancel your subscription
Understanding what to expect in the days and weeks after cancellation helps you verify the process worked and protect yourself if issues arise.
Your access after cancellation
Once you cancel, your access to ResumeCoach Premium features will continue until the end of your current 28-day billing cycle. You will not be immediately locked out. For example, if you cancel on day 5 of your 28-day cycle, you keep full access until day 28. On day 29, your account will revert to free tier (limited templates only) or be fully deactivated, depending on ResumeCoach's policy.
Download and save any resumes, cover letters, or documents you wish to keep before the end of your cycle. Export them as PDF or TXT files to your computer and backup to cloud storage if possible. After your access expires, you will lose the ability to edit and re-download these documents from the ResumeCoach platform.
Refund eligibility and timelines
If you cancel during the 14-day free trial before any charge has been applied, there is no refund needed. If you cancel after the trial has converted to a paid subscription but within seven working days of your first paid charge, you are entitled to request a refund under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, provided you have not fully consumed the service.
If you are beyond the seven-day cooling-off period, ResumeCoach is under no legal obligation to refund charges for completed billing cycles. However, you can request a refund by contacting support and explaining your situation. Some companies offer prorated refunds for cancellations mid-cycle as a courtesy. Yafee recommends you ask, but do not assume you will receive one.
Refunds, if approved, typically appear in your bank account within 5 to 10 business days. Your bank may take an additional 2 to 3 days to process the credit. Check your card statement and bank app to confirm the refund has arrived.
Stopping automatic charges on your card
If ResumeCoach continues to charge your card after you have cancelled, immediately contact your bank or card issuer. Inform them that you have cancelled the subscription and request a chargeback or reversal of the unauthorized charge. Provide your bank with screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and your card statement showing the charge date. Banks in Malaysia are required to investigate chargebacks within 30 days under Bank Negara Malaysia regulations.
Do not wait for ResumeCoach to respond to a second cancellation request if they charged you after the first one. Act immediately, as banks have time limits for disputing charges.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
You are not alone if your first cancellation attempt did not work. These are the most frequent errors, and knowing them helps you avoid the same trap.
Mistake 1: cancelling on the website when you subscribed through an app
This is the number one reason cancellations fail silently. If you downloaded ResumeCoach via the Apple App Store or Google Play and completed your purchase inside the app, you must cancel inside that same app store account. Cancelling on resumecoach.com will not stop the app from billing you. Your app store subscription and your website account are linked but managed separately. Check your app purchase history first, then cancel in the correct platform.
Mistake 2: confusing "pause" with "cancel"
Some SaaS services offer a "pause" option that temporarily suspends billing but keeps your account and settings intact. ResumeCoach does not appear to offer this feature, but if you see a "Pause subscription" button instead of "Cancel," do not click it. That will not cancel your account. Look specifically for "Cancel" or "Unsubscribe."
Mistake 3: relying on email alone without confirmation
If you email ResumeCoach support asking to cancel, they may not respond quickly enough before your next billing date. Do not rely on an email request alone if your renewal date is within 5 days. Use the in-account cancellation method (Steps 1-6 above) first, then send a follow-up email with your screenshot as backup.
Mistake 4: not checking your account after cancellation
Cancel, wait two hours, then log back into your account. Verify that the subscription status now says "Cancelled," "Inactive," or shows no active plan. If it still shows "Premium Active," your cancellation did not process. Try again immediately using the direct unsubscribe link (resumecoach.com/unsubscribe), or contact support.
Mistake 5: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription
Removing the ResumeCoach app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The app store will continue to charge you monthly until you explicitly cancel the subscription in the app store settings. Always cancel the subscription first, then delete the app.

When to escalate your complaint
If ResumeCoach refuses to cancel your subscription or continues to charge you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, you have legal remedies available in Malaysia.
Escalation step 1: formal complaint to ResumeCoach
Send a registered letter or email (with read receipt) to [email protected] stating: "I request that you cancel my subscription with effect from [date]. I have already attempted cancellation via [method: website/app/phone/email] on [date]. Please provide written confirmation of cancellation within seven business days, or I will file a formal complaint with Malaysian consumer authorities."
Keep a copy of this letter and any delivery confirmation. This creates a documented paper trail that you acted in good faith and gave the company a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue.
Escalation step 2: federation of malaysian consumers association (FOMCA)
If ResumeCoach does not respond within 14 days, file a complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (FOMCA), the primary consumer advocacy body in Malaysia. You can lodge a complaint online at their website or by visiting a FOMCA office in your state. Include copies of all correspondence, screenshots, and your card statement showing unwanted charges. FOMCA will contact ResumeCoach on your behalf and attempt mediation. Yafee's guides emphasise that FOMCA complaints are free and do not require legal representation.
Escalation step 3: state department of consumer affairs
If FOMCA mediation fails or ResumeCoach disputes the complaint, you can file a formal complaint with your state's Department of Consumer Affairs or the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA) in Kuala Lumpur. This triggers an official investigation. The MDTCA has the power to impose fines on companies that breach consumer protection laws and can order refunds on your behalf.
Escalation step 4: small claims court
If the amount in dispute is below RM 10,000, you can file a claim in the Small Claims Court (now integrated into the civil court system). You do not need a lawyer for small claims in Malaysia. This option is more time-consuming but may be necessary if ResumeCoach owes you a significant refund or has charged you multiple unauthorised times.
Frequently asked questions and final advice
Yafee's consumer cancellation service has helped thousands of users in Malaysia resolve billing disputes and successfully unsubscribe from services like ResumeCoach. The key is acting quickly, documenting everything, and knowing your legal rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
If you follow the step-by-step procedure above and take screenshots at every stage, you will have the evidence needed to dispute any unauthorised charge or escalate a complaint to FOMCA. Remember: the 28-day billing cycle means your cancellation deadline arrives sooner than you might expect. Set a reminder on your phone for 48 hours before your next billing date to ensure you cancel in time.
Yafee recommends you contact ResumeCoach directly via email ([email protected]) or phone (+1 (844) 333-0735) if the in-account cancellation fails. Be specific, be persistent, and be polite, but do not accept vague reassurances. Yafee has designed this guide to give you the confidence and knowledge to cancel ResumeCoach without confusion or additional charges. Your consumer rights are enforceable, and authorities like FOMCA and the MDTCA exist to protect you if the company refuses to cooperate.
