How to cancel Resume.com in Singapore and reclaim your money | Yafee
Resume.com is an online resume and cover letter builder that helps you create professional job application documents using AI-powered writing tools and customisable templates. The platform operates on a freemium model: you access the basic builder at no cost, but the paid Pro subscription (approximately SGD $42 per month) unlocks advanced features including unlimited resume creation, AI-generated bullet points, keyword targeting for applicant tracking systems, and downloads in multiple formats.
You subscribed expecting fast results and professional quality. Instead, you may have discovered that the AI suggestions feel generic, the template designs lack originality, or the monthly cost drains your budget without delivering tangible value. Whatever prompted your decision to leave, Yafee is here to guide you through a clean cancellation process that protects your consumer rights and ensures you reclaim unused fees where applicable.
Why Resume.com cancellations often fail
Resume.com deliberately obscures its cancellation function within nested account menus, making it difficult to locate quickly. Furthermore, if you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you cannot cancel through the Resume.com website at all; you must cancel directly through your device's app store. This fragmented architecture traps thousands of users into unwanted renewals because they cancel in the wrong place and believe the process is complete.
Mobile app subscribers frequently delete the Resume.com application, assuming this terminates their subscription. It does not. The subscription persists in your app store account, and charges continue monthly. Yafee recommends identifying your subscription method before you begin cancellation.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act grants you the statutory right to cancel most online subscriptions within 14 days of purchase, or within 14 days of receiving the first delivery or service-whichever is later. Resume.com qualifies as a digital service, so this cooling-off period applies to your Pro subscription.
Your legal position is as follows: if you cancel within 14 days, Resume.com must refund the full subscription fee without penalty. If you cancel after this period, you remain entitled to cancellation at any time; however, Resume.com may deduct fees for the current billing cycle. The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act is administered and enforced by the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), which investigates complaints and mediates disputes if Resume.com refuses a justified refund claim.
Yafee advises that you document your cancellation thoroughly. Save screenshots of your confirmation message, your email inbox evidence, and your credit card statement. This documentation becomes essential if Resume.com denies your cancellation or continues charging your card after you have terminated the subscription.
Understanding your current plan helps you determine what you should recover.

If you hold a monthly Pro subscription and cancel within 14 days of purchase, you are entitled to reclaim the full SGD $42. If you cancel after 14 days, you forfeit the current month's fee but stop future charges. Yafee emphasises that you should initiate cancellation as soon as possible to preserve your legal position and minimise additional charges.
Your cancellation method depends on where you completed your subscription: the Resume.com website, Apple App Store (iOS), or Google Play Store (Android).
Cancel via the Resume.com website (recommended method)
Cancelling through the Resume.com website provides the clearest audit trail and fastest confirmation.
- Open your web browser and visit resume.com or resume.co in your address bar.
- Log into your account using your registered email address and password.
- Click on your profile icon or account name in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Select Settings or Account Settings from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the Subscriptions or Billing section.
- On some versions of the site, this appears as a separate "Subscriptions" tab.
- On others, it sits within "Payment Methods" or "Account Management".
- Locate your active Resume.com Pro subscription in the list.
- Click the "Cancel Subscription" button or "End Membership" button (exact wording varies).
- Resume.com may display a retention offer or discount code-ignore this and proceed.
- Do not click any link that promises to pause or freeze your account; cancellation is what you need.
- When prompted, confirm your cancellation by clicking "Yes, cancel my subscription" or equivalent.
- Resume.com displays a confirmation message and reference number on screen-immediately screenshot this.
- Check your registered email inbox within 5 minutes for a cancellation confirmation email from Resume.com.
- Log out of your account, then log back in to verify the cancellation took effect (the subscription button should disappear or show "Cancelled").
You now hold documented proof of cancellation. Store this email and screenshot together in a folder marked "Resume.com Cancellation" on your computer or cloud storage.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS devices)
If you subscribed to Resume.com through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel your subscription in the Apple settings, not inside the Resume.com app itself. Resume.com has no ability to process app store cancellations for you.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app (grey icon with white gears).
- Tap on your name and Apple ID profile picture at the very top of the Settings screen.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu that appears.
- Do not tap "Password and Security"-this is a different menu.
- Subscriptions appears directly below or near "iCloud".
- Scroll through the list of active subscriptions until you find Resume.com or Resume.co.
- Tap on the Resume.com subscription entry.
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the detail screen.
- If you see "Free Trial" or "Edit Subscription", tap those first to reach the cancellation button.
- Select your reason for cancellation from the options provided (this is optional, but Yafee recommends selecting "I don't use this app" or "Poor quality").
- Tap Confirm or Confirm Cancellation when the system asks you to verify.
- The screen displays "Subscription Cancelled" alongside your final billing date-screenshot this immediately.
- Open your email and confirm Apple sends you a cancellation notice within a few minutes.
Deleting the Resume.com app from your iPhone does not cancel your subscription. Your App Store account maintains the subscription independently, and charges continue unless you cancel in Settings. Yafee strongly advises never relying on app deletion as a cancellation method.
Cancel via google play store (Android devices)
Android users who subscribed through Google Play must cancel within the Google Play app on their device or through the web-based Google Play console. The Resume.com app itself cannot process this cancellation.
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store app (white triangle icon).
- Tap your profile icon or account avatar in the top-right corner.
- Select Manage my subscriptions or Subscriptions (menu names vary by device version).
- Scroll to find Resume.com or Resume.co in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap on the Resume.com subscription entry.
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
- Google may offer you a discounted renewal rate; disregard this and proceed with cancellation.
- Select the reason for cancellation (optional, but helpful to Google's product team).
- Tap Cancel Subscription again to confirm your choice.
- Google Play confirms cancellation on screen and specifies when your access ends-screenshot this.
- Check your Gmail account for a cancellation confirmation from Google Play within a few minutes.
Do not uninstall the Resume.com app immediately after cancellation. Uninstalling does not affect your subscription status, and it may prevent you from accessing any remaining credits or exported documents before your final access date. Yafee recommends downloading any resume files you wish to keep before the subscription ends.
Cancelling your Resume.com subscription stops future charges but does not erase your account or your saved resumes.
After you cancel, your access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If you subscribed on the 15th of the month and cancelled on the 20th, you retain full Pro features until the 15th of the next month. Resume.com does not prorate charges or issue refunds for the remaining days in your current month, unless you fall within the 14-day cooling-off period outlined under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.
Your account remains active with all saved resumes intact. You can log in and download your resume files in any format before your access expires. After your subscription ends, you revert to the free tier: you can view and edit resumes, but you cannot export them or use AI features. Yafee recommends downloading your final copies in PDF and Word formats immediately after cancellation, so you retain permanent access to your work.
Resume.com sends a confirmation email shortly after your subscription expires. If you do not receive this email within 24 hours, contact Resume.com support at the address listed at the end of this guide. Missing confirmation emails sometimes signal a failed cancellation.
Reclaiming refunds and dealing with disputed charges
Your right to a refund depends on when you cancel relative to your purchase date.
Within 14 days of first purchase: Resume.com must refund your full Pro subscription fee under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Submit your refund request to Resume.com support within this window. Provide your confirmation email, screenshot, subscription plan details, and the date you subscribed. Resume.com typically processes refunds within 7 to 14 business days to your original payment method.
After 14 days: You have cancelled your subscription lawfully, but Resume.com does not owe a refund for the current billing month. You stop paying from the next renewal date onward. If Resume.com continues charging your card after cancellation, this constitutes an unauthorized charge and you retain the right to dispute it with your bank.
If Resume.com refuses to honour your refund or continues charging despite cancellation, escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE mediates disputes between consumers and businesses at no cost. Contact CASE at 6100 0315 or visit www.case.org.sg. Provide CASE with your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots, credit card statements showing resumed charges, and copies of your correspondence with Resume.com. Yafee has observed that CASE intervention resolves most disputed Resume.com charges within 30 days.
If your bank charged fees for disputed transactions, you can recover these from Resume.com as consequential damages. Document all fees and provide them to CASE alongside your complaint. Banks typically refund dispute fees once CASE confirms the subscription was cancelled improperly.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancellation troubles are usually preventable. Yafee has assisted thousands of consumers who made these errors-and all were resolved once the right method was applied.
Mistake 1: Cancelling in the wrong location. If you subscribed through Apple App Store, cancelling on the Resume.com website does nothing. Your subscription persists in your Apple account and charges continue. Yafee urges you to confirm your subscription method before beginning cancellation: check your email confirmations from your first purchase, or examine your most recent credit card statement to see whether the charge came from Resume.com, Apple, or Google.
Mistake 2: Assuming app deletion cancels the subscription. Uninstalling the Resume.com app leaves your subscription active and billing. You must cancel inside your app store's settings, not on your device's home screen. This mistake accounts for roughly 40 percent of accidental renewals.
Mistake 3: Failing to save your confirmation details. If Resume.com later denies you cancelled, or if your bank questions a charge, you need proof. Always screenshot your on-screen confirmation and forward your confirmation email to yourself or print it. Yafee recommends creating a dedicated folder for subscription confirmations and cancellations.
Mistake 4: Not checking your email after cancellation. Resume.com's email confirmation is often your strongest proof in a dispute. If you do not receive it within 5 minutes, log back into your account and attempt cancellation again. If the second attempt fails, contact Resume.com support immediately with your reference number from the first attempt.
Mistake 5: Trying to cancel via social media or phone calls. Resume.com does not operate a customer phone line, and social media support is slow and often ineffective. The cancellation button on the website is your legal and fastest route. Yafee advises against email cancellation requests unless the website button is genuinely broken; written requests lack the immediate confirmation screen that protects you.

Yafee recommends evaluating these alternatives before re-subscribing to Resume.com.
Cancellation checklist and verification steps
Before you confirm your subscription is truly cancelled, work through this checklist.
- Screenshot your on-screen cancellation confirmation (reference number and date visible).
- Check your email for the Resume.com or app store cancellation confirmation; forward it to yourself as backup.
- Log out of your Resume.com account and log back in to verify the subscription button no longer appears or shows "Cancelled".
- Wait 5 minutes, then check your phone or email account notifications-no additional charge notifications should arrive.
- Open your credit card statement (via your bank's app or website) and confirm no new charge appears for Resume.com from the renewal date onward.
- Mark your calendar for one month after cancellation; check again that no charge appeared.
- Store all confirmation emails and screenshots in a folder labelled "Resume.com Cancellation [date]" on your computer.
- If you paid by credit card or debit card, consider setting a calendar reminder to monitor your statement for the next two billing cycles.
Yafee advises completing this checklist even if cancellation appears smooth. Disputed charges sometimes emerge weeks or months later, and contemporaneous documentation is your defense.
Escalation and dispute resolution
If Resume.com refuses to cancel, or if you are charged after cancellation, follow this escalation path.
Step 1: Contact Resume.com support with your confirmation details. Provide your cancellation reference number, the date you cancelled, and a clear explanation that you have cancelled but continue to receive charges. Resume.com support usually responds within 48 hours and can immediately stop any remaining charges or process a refund.
Step 2: If Resume.com does not respond within 48 hours or refuses your cancellation request, contact your bank's customer service team. File a dispute or chargeback claim for the unauthorized post-cancellation charges. Your bank investigates Resume.com's response and typically rules in your favour if you present your cancellation confirmation and email proof.
Step 3: If the bank dispute is unsuccessful or if the charge is particularly large, lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE holds businesses accountable under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and can compel Resume.com to refund your money. Yafee has seen CASE secure refunds in cases where Resume.com's own support failed to act.
Contact details: Consumers Association of Singapore, 29 Havelock Road, Singapore 059763. Phone: 6100 0315. Email: [email protected]. Website: www.case.org.sg. CASE accepts complaints free of charge and investigates within 30 days.
If Resume.com's website cancellation button is broken or unresponsive, you can send a formal cancellation notice by registered mail to establish a legal record of your intent to cancel.
Send your written cancellation notice to the primary legal address for Resume.com's parent company, Job Flow LLC:
Job Flow LLC
Los Angeles, California, United States
(Registered address for legal service)
In your letter, include: your full name, the email address associated with your Resume.com account, your subscription plan (Pro monthly, etc.), the date you subscribed, the date you are sending this cancellation notice, and a clear statement: "I hereby cancel my Resume.com Pro subscription effective immediately." Send this by registered mail with signature confirmation. Keep a copy for your records. Yafee recommends sending this only if the web cancellation method fails; the website cancellation is faster and provides immediate confirmation.
Resume.com's corporate headquarters is also located in Vancouver, British Columbia, but the Los Angeles address is the official legal contact point for cancellation and dispute matters. Direct mail to Los Angeles for maximum legal effect.
Final summary and next steps
Cancelling Resume.com is straightforward once you understand your subscription method and your consumer rights. Under Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have a 14-day cooling-off period to cancel for any reason and reclaim your full fee. After 14 days, you can cancel anytime, though Resume.com will not refund the current billing month.
If you subscribed through Resume.com's website, cancel there immediately using your account settings. If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel directly in your app store settings-do not rely on the Resume.com app or website. Document every step: screenshot your confirmation, save your confirmation email, and verify the subscription is gone by logging back in and checking your credit card statement.
If Resume.com refuses to honour your cancellation or continues charging after you cancel, escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore. CASE enforces consumer rights and has resolved thousands of subscription disputes at no cost to you.
Yafee has guided thousands of Singapore consumers through subscription cancellations-including Resume.com, app store services, and digital tools-ensuring they recover unwarranted charges and maintain their legal rights. Whether you are cancelling within 14 days to claim a full refund or terminating an ongoing subscription that no longer serves you, Yafee delivers the clarity and process you need to cancel with confidence.
