How to cancel Cover Letter Now and stop recurring PHP charges before your next billing cycle
What Cover Letter Now is and why cancellation matters
Cover Letter Now is a subscription service that generates professional cover letters using artificial intelligence, provides downloadable templates, and stores your job application documents in cloud storage. You pay for access to unlimited letter generation, PDF and Word file exports, saved drafts, and customer support across multiple subscription tiers.
The service operates on automatic renewal billing, which means your payment processes repeatedly at your chosen interval unless you actively submit a cancellation request. Many users in the Philippines sign up to create a single cover letter for an urgent job application, then discover weeks later that the service has charged them multiple times while unused. Understanding your cancellation options now protects you from unexpected charges to your payment method.
Why you might need to cancel
You may have completed your job search and no longer need the service. Your budget may have shifted, or you may have found a free alternative that serves your needs better. The weekly billing cycle on the Starter plan can accumulate costs quickly if you do not use the platform regularly. Yafee recommends reviewing your active subscriptions every month to identify services that no longer align with your goals.
Pricing structure and billing cycles explained
Cover Letter Now charges customers in Philippine pesos across three main subscription options, each with a different billing frequency and cost structure. Understanding your specific plan is essential before you cancel, because the refund eligibility and cancellation process may vary depending on whether you subscribed to a weekly, monthly, or annual billing cycle.

The Starter weekly plan renews every 7 days, meaning you will be charged every single week until you formally cancel. The monthly Pro plan renews on the same calendar date each month. The annual Pro plan charges once per year on your subscription anniversary. If you selected weekly billing without realizing the frequency, you face multiple small charges that accumulate rapidly.
Your legal position under philippine consumer law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) establishes your rights when cancelling subscription services and protects you against unfair billing practices and hidden charges.
What philippine consumer law requires from Cover Letter Now
Under Republic Act No. 7394, Cover Letter Now must clearly disclose the cancellation method, the refund period, the billing frequency, and any commitment terms before you complete your purchase. If the company's terms are unclear, buried in dense fine print, or materially different from what you were told during signup, you have legal standing to dispute charges and demand a refund.
Philippine law explicitly grants you the right to cancel a subscription without penalty and to receive a refund for services you did not receive, did not authorize, or were charged for beyond your agreement. If Cover Letter Now continues charging your payment method after you submit a valid cancellation request, that constitutes an unauthorized charge, which you can dispute through your bank and report to consumer protection authorities.
Your legal position
If you cancel Cover Letter Now and the company continues to charge you, you have the right to file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Complaints Center, which handles subscription disputes across the Philippines. Yafee advises documenting every cancellation attempt, every charge that occurs after your cancellation request, and all communication with the company, because this evidence strengthens your case if escalation becomes necessary.
You may also dispute unauthorized charges directly with your bank or payment provider, requesting a chargeback for transactions that occurred after your cancellation date. The DTI Consumer Complaints Center will investigate your complaint at no cost to you and can compel the company to issue a refund if they find the charges were improper.
Cancellation methods and step-by-step instructions
Cover Letter Now specifies that cancellation requests must be submitted to the company's postal address as listed in the Terms of Use and customer contact information section.
Step 1: locate your account details and billing information
Log into your Cover Letter Now account and navigate to your settings or account management section. Note your subscription plan name, your billing date, and the amount charged each cycle. Take a screenshot of your account dashboard showing your active subscription status, because you will need this evidence if you later dispute a charge or file a complaint with the DTI.
Step 2: download all your documents before cancelling
Cover Letter Now's terms of service do not clearly guarantee your access to saved cover letters, resumes, and other documents after cancellation ends. You may lose access to your document library immediately upon cancellation, so export every file you created and may need in the future. Download your letters as PDF files and Word documents, then save them to your computer hard drive or personal cloud storage you control. This step protects your work and ensures you retain copies regardless of what happens to the company's servers.
Step 3: prepare a formal cancellation letter
Write a clear cancellation request letter that includes your full name, your account email address, your subscription plan name, your billing date, and a direct statement that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately. State the date you are submitting the request. Request written confirmation of cancellation from the company. Use formal business language and keep the letter brief and factual.
Example structure:
- Your full name and account email address
- The date you are submitting the request
- "I am writing to formally cancel my [Plan Name] subscription effective immediately."
- Your subscription start date and current billing date
- "Please confirm this cancellation in writing and cease all future charges to my account."
- Your preferred contact email for the company's response
Step 4: submit your cancellation request to the company's postal address
The Cover Letter Now Terms of Use specifies that cancellation requests must be mailed to the company's postal address listed in their customer contact information section. Yafee recommends sending your cancellation letter via registered mail with return receipt, because this method creates a paper trail showing when the company received your request. Retain the mail tracking number and the signed return receipt, because these documents prove timely delivery if the company later claims they never received your cancellation request.
- Locate the official company postal address from Cover Letter Now's Terms of Use or contact information page
- Print your cancellation letter
- Place the letter in an envelope addressed to the company's postal address
- Visit your nearest post office and request registered mail with return receipt (kilalang serbisyo na may patunay ng pagkakarating)
- Pay the registered mail fee and obtain your mail tracking number
- Store the tracking number and return receipt in a safe location with copies of your cancellation letter
Step 5: monitor your account and verify cancellation
After you submit your cancellation request, wait 5 to 7 business days for the company to process it and send written confirmation. Log into your account regularly and check that your subscription status shows "cancelled" or "inactive." Do not assume cancellation is complete until you receive written confirmation from Cover Letter Now and your account dashboard reflects the change.
Watch your bank or payment card statements closely for the next two to three billing cycles. If Cover Letter Now charges you after your cancellation date, document those charges immediately and retain the evidence.
Refund eligibility and recovery of disputed charges
Your right to a refund depends on when you cancel relative to your billing cycle and whether you have used the service substantially.
Refund policy for Cover Letter Now
Cover Letter Now does not advertise a formal money-back guarantee on their website or terms of service. However, Republic Act No. 7394 entitles you to recover charges for services you did not authorize or did not receive. If you cancel within days of signing up and before using the service, you have strong grounds to request a refund of your most recent charge. If the company refuses, you can dispute the charge through your payment provider or file a complaint with the DTI Consumer Complaints Center.
Charges that occur after you submit a valid cancellation request are unauthorized under Philippine law, and you may request a full refund of those post-cancellation charges. If Cover Letter Now will not refund them voluntarily, initiate a chargeback through your bank or file a complaint with the DTI, which will investigate at no cost to you.
How to request a refund
If you qualify for a refund, contact Cover Letter Now in writing using the same registered mail method you used to cancel. State the amount you are requesting, the date of the charge, and the reason you believe the charge is unauthorized or the service was not delivered. Yafee recommends submitting this request within 30 days of the charge you are disputing, because many payment providers have time limits on chargeback claims.
If the company does not respond or refuses to refund you within 14 days, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry Consumer Complaints Center online at dti.gov.ph or visit your regional DTI office. Provide copies of your cancellation request, the company's response (or lack thereof), screenshots of charges on your statement, and your formal refund request letter.
What happens to your documents and account after cancellation
The practical implications of cancellation extend beyond simply stopping charges; you need to understand what becomes of your saved work.
Document access after your subscription ends
Cover Letter Now does not explicitly guarantee your access to saved cover letters and resumes after cancellation. The company may immediately disable your account access, delete your document library, or retain your files for a limited grace period. Before you cancel, export and download every cover letter, resume, and job application document you created on the platform. Save these files to your personal computer or cloud storage such as Google Drive or Dropbox, which you control directly.
Do not rely on Cover Letter Now's servers to store your documents permanently. Treat the cancellation date as your deadline to retrieve all saved work from the platform.
Account closure and data retention
After cancellation, your account will transition to an inactive or closed status. Cover Letter Now may retain some of your personal data for legal or accounting purposes, in compliance with Philippine data privacy law. However, you retain the right to request deletion of your personal information under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) if the company no longer has a lawful basis to hold your data after you cancel.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
The cancellation process is straightforward if you follow a careful plan, and understanding these common pitfalls will help you stay protected.
Mistake 1: assuming your subscription is cancelled without written confirmation
Many users believe their subscription is cancelled simply because they no longer use the service or because they assumed clicking a "delete account" button would also cancel billing. Cover Letter Now may deactivate your account dashboard but continue charging your payment method if you did not submit a formal cancellation request. Never assume cancellation is complete until you receive written confirmation from the company and your account status changes to show "cancelled."
Mistake 2: failing to document your cancellation request
If you send a cancellation request without proof of delivery, the company can later claim they never received it and continue charging you for months. Use registered mail with return receipt so you have objective evidence that Cover Letter Now received your request on a specific date. Keep copies of your cancellation letter, the mail tracking number, and the signed return receipt in a safe location for at least one year.
Mistake 3: not monitoring your account after cancellation
Do not assume Cover Letter Now will automatically stop charging you on the first try. Log into your account regularly for the next two to three billing cycles and check your bank statements to verify no new charges have appeared. If the company processes a charge after your cancellation date, you have a dispute case to file with your payment provider or the DTI.
Mistake 4: discarding your documents without backup
Once your account is cancelled, you may lose permanent access to any files stored on Cover Letter Now's platform. If you do not download and save your cover letters before cancelling, they may be deleted or become inaccessible. Yafee strongly recommends exporting all documents to your computer or personal cloud storage as your final step before requesting cancellation.
Comparison of cancellation timelines and billing cycles
Your subscription plan type directly affects how long you must wait for your cancellation to take effect and when your final charge will appear on your statement.
| Plan type |

Varies by refund eligibility |
If you are subscribed to the Starter weekly plan and cancel today, you will likely incur one final charge at the end of the current week before cancellation becomes effective. If you are on the monthly Pro plan, expect one final charge at the end of your billing month. If you are on the annual plan and cancel early, your refund eligibility depends on the company's stated policy and your timing relative to the original purchase date.
How to file a complaint with the department of trade and industry if Cover Letter Now refuses to cancel
If Cover Letter Now ignores your cancellation request, continues charging you after cancellation, or refuses to refund disputed charges, the DTI Consumer Complaints Center provides a free escalation mechanism.
Filing a formal DTI complaint
Visit the Department of Trade and Industry website at dti.gov.ph and navigate to the Consumer Complaints Center section. File a formal complaint online or visit your regional DTI office in person. You will need to provide your full name, contact information, your account details with Cover Letter Now, a detailed explanation of the dispute, and supporting evidence including your cancellation request letter, the company's response, screenshots of disputed charges on your statement, and any other correspondence.
The DTI will assign your complaint a case number and investigate Cover Letter Now's conduct. If the DTI finds the company violated your consumer rights under Republic Act No. 7394, they can compel Cover Letter Now to issue a refund and may impose penalties on the company. The DTI process is free and does not require you to hire an attorney.
Disputing charges through your bank
Simultaneously, you may initiate a chargeback dispute directly with your bank or payment card issuer. Contact your bank's customer service and explain that you cancelled your subscription but Cover Letter Now continued charging you without authorization. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation request, your account statements showing the disputed charges, and the cancellation date. Your bank will investigate and may reverse the charges within 60 to 90 days.
Yafee recommends pursuing both the DTI complaint and the chargeback simultaneously, because they work through different systems and offer overlapping protection.
