How to cancel Perfect Resume and recover your subscription fees in singapore
Why Perfect Resume subscribers decide to cancel
Perfect Resume is a subscription-based resume and cover letter creation platform designed to help job seekers build professional application documents. The service provides customizable templates, real-time editing assistance, and guided workflows accessed through their website or mobile applications on iOS and Android. You may have signed up through their main website, the Apple App Store, or Google Play, and each method carries different cancellation procedures.
Many users cancel after completing their resume, discovering free alternatives, or encountering unexpected recurring charges on their bank statements. Yafee recognises that subscription cancellations should be transparent and straightforward, which is why we've mapped every cancellation route and potential billing trap for Singapore users like you.
The most common reasons to cancel
You might cancel because you've finished your resume and no longer need the platform. Others cancel after realising they prefer to build their resume independently without premium templates. Some subscribers discover that renewal charges appeared without clear advance notice, triggering immediate cancellation requests. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to walk you through the process without unnecessary delays or confusion.
Understanding Perfect resume's billing structure
Perfect Resume operates a dual-billing model that directly affects how you cancel. If you subscribed directly through perfectresume.com, your credit card or linked payment method receives charges. If you downloaded the app and subscribed through Apple or Google, those platforms handle your billing entirely. This split creates confusion at cancellation time, so your first critical action is identifying exactly where your subscription lives.
Your legal position under singapore consumer law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act provides statutory protections when you purchase services, but digital products receive fewer protections than physical goods. This section explains what rights you have and how to enforce them if Perfect Resume refuses to cancel.
Digital services and cooling-off rights in singapore
Singapore does not mandate a statutory 14-day cancellation window for digital subscriptions, unlike the European Union or Australia. However, Perfect Resume voluntarily offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on initial Premium Access purchases made directly through their website. This guarantee is contractually binding and represents your primary legal protection window during the first two weeks of subscription.
After the 14-day window closes, your cancellation rights depend on the terms and conditions you accepted at signup. Yafee recommends reviewing the service agreement on your account page to confirm whether cancellation is available on demand or only at the end of your current billing cycle.
Protection against unauthorised and unfair billing practices
If Perfect Resume charges you without your consent, fails to process a cancellation you requested, or continues billing after you cancelled, the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act provides recourse. The Act prohibits unfair trading practices, including misleading billing information and failure to honour cancellation requests within a reasonable timeframe.
Your legal position strengthens if you document every action: cancellation confirmations, email receipts, bank statements showing charges, and screenshots of account settings. If Perfect Resume refuses to refund unauthorised charges, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), which investigates disputes and may mediate settlement. You also retain the right to initiate a chargeback through your bank if charges persist after cancellation.
Yafee advises retaining all documentation for at least 12 months following cancellation, as disputes may take time to resolve.
Cancelling Perfect Resume via their website
Direct web cancellation is the fastest method if you signed up through perfectresume.com. This section provides exact steps to prevent missing confirmation emails or incomplete cancellations.
Step one: log into your account
Open perfectresume.com and enter your email address and password in the login fields. If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page and follow the email reset instructions. Ensure you complete the reset before proceeding, as you must access your account settings to cancel.
Step two: navigate to account and subscription settings
Once logged in, locate your account menu, typically found in the top-right corner of the screen next to your profile picture or initials. Click this menu and select "Account Settings," "My Account," or "Profile Settings." Look for tabs or links labelled "Subscription," "Billing," "Membership," or "Plans." Click the relevant option to view your active subscription details.
Step three: select the cancel or manage subscription option
On the subscription page, you'll see your current plan name, renewal date, and billing amount. Locate a button or link labeled "Cancel Subscription," "Manage Subscription," "Pause Subscription," or "Edit Plan." Click this option immediately. Do not close the page or navigate away until you see a cancellation confirmation screen.
Step four: complete the cancellation process and confirm
Perfect Resume may present a reasons survey asking why you're cancelling. This is optional; you may skip it or complete it depending on your preference. After the survey, the system will display a cancellation confirmation with a reference number. Screenshot this page or write down the reference number, then check your email inbox and spam folder within five minutes for a cancellation confirmation email from Perfect Resume.
Step five: verify cancellation and check your next billing date
Log back into your Perfect Resume account within 24 hours to confirm your subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive." Check that the renewal date no longer appears. If your account still shows an active subscription, repeat steps two through four or contact Perfect Resume support immediately with your cancellation reference number.
Cancelling Perfect Resume via apple app store
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store (iOS devices), Apple manages your billing and subscription renewal. You must cancel through Apple's system, not through the Perfect Resume app itself, to prevent continued charges.
Cancelling on iPhone or iPad
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen.
- If you haven't set up an Apple ID, create one before proceeding.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the menu (you may need to scroll down to find it).
- If Subscriptions does not appear, navigate to "Media and Purchases" first, then tap "Subscriptions."
- Find Perfect Resume in the subscriptions list and tap it.
- If multiple subscriptions exist, scroll to locate Perfect Resume specifically.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit Subscription" and then select the "Cancel" option.
- Apple will ask you to confirm the cancellation; select "Confirm" to finalise.
- Check your email for an Apple confirmation message within minutes.
- Keep this confirmation for your records in case of future billing disputes.
Cancelling on mac
On macOS, open the App Store, click your account icon in the top-right corner, select "Account Settings," then click "Manage" next to Subscriptions. Find Perfect Resume, click "Edit," and select "Cancel Subscription." Confirm your cancellation when prompted and check your email for a confirmation receipt from Apple.
Cancelling Perfect Resume via google play store
If you subscribed through Google Play (Android devices), Google processes your billing and must process your cancellation. Follow these steps to cancel through Google's platform.
Cancelling on android devices
- Open the Google Play app on your Android device and tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
- If you don't see a profile icon, ensure you're using the latest version of Google Play.
- Select "Manage my subscriptions" or "Payments and subscriptions" from the menu.
- Exact wording varies by device; look for subscription-related options.
- Find Perfect Resume in your active subscriptions list and tap it.
- If Perfect Resume does not appear, scroll down to view all active subscriptions.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm your cancellation request.
- Google may display a reason survey; you may skip this or complete it.
- Wait for a confirmation email from Google Play within one hour.
- Retain this email as proof of cancellation for dispute resolution if needed.
Cancelling via google play website
You can also cancel on a computer by visiting play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions, logging in with your Google account, selecting Perfect Resume, and clicking "Cancel subscription." Google will confirm immediately and send a confirmation email within minutes.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on your subscription age and cancellation method. This section explains what refunds you can claim and how long processing takes.
Refund eligibility within the 14-day guarantee period
If you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase through perfectresume.com, you qualify for Perfect Resume's voluntary money-back guarantee. Contact Perfect Resume support with your cancellation confirmation and original purchase receipt to request a refund. Yafee recommends submitting this request within 21 days of purchase to allow Perfect Resume processing time. Refunds typically process within 5 to 10 business days, though bank processing may add an additional 2 to 3 business days before the credit appears in your account.
Refunds beyond the 14-day period
After the 14-day window closes, refunds depend on Perfect Resume's terms and whether your subscription renewed without your consent. If you cancel mid-billing cycle, you typically forfeit the unused portion unless Perfect Resume offers partial prorated refunds (they do not, based on standard terms). If you were charged without authorisation or after requesting cancellation, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer.
What happens to your account after cancellation
Once cancelled, your access to premium features ends on the renewal date shown at cancellation. You lose access to downloadable templates, editing tools, and cover letter builders. Your resume data may remain in your account for a limited period, but Yafee recommends downloading your completed resume as a PDF before cancellation finalises. Check your email for any final download links Perfect Resume provides.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancelling a subscription should be straightforward, but small errors can delay the process or leave you at risk of unwanted charges. This section highlights the traps Yafee sees subscribers fall into.
Mistake one: cancelling only the app without cancelling the subscription
Deleting the Perfect Resume app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your billing continues because Perfect Resume charges through Apple or Google, not through the app. You must follow the app store cancellation steps outlined above to stop charges. Yafee strongly advises treating app deletion and subscription cancellation as separate actions.
Mistake two: missing your cancellation confirmation email
Confirmation emails sometimes land in spam or promotions folders, and you may assume cancellation failed if you don't receive a visible notification. Check your spam and all email folders within 24 hours of cancellation. If no email arrives, log into your Perfect Resume account directly to verify cancellation status. A missing email is not proof of failed cancellation; account status is the authority.
Mistake three: cancelling one day before your renewal date
If you cancel the day before your subscription renews, Perfect Resume may still charge you for the next cycle because the renewal triggers before your cancellation fully processes. Cancel as early as possible in your billing cycle if you want to avoid the next charge. Many users find success cancelling immediately after the previous renewal date.
Mistake four: relying on customer service promises without written confirmation
If a Perfect Resume customer service representative verbally promises a refund or says "we'll cancel for you," request written confirmation via email. Verbal promises are difficult to prove if disputes arise. Always obtain email confirmations from support with reference numbers and cancellation details.
Pricing and subscription plans you're leaving
Understanding Perfect Resume's pricing structure clarifies what you're cancelling and helps identify refund eligibility. The table below outlines the primary plans available in Singapore.
| Plan name |
Monthly cost (SGD) |
Billing cycle |
Key features |
| Premium Access (annual) |
$9.99 per month (billed $119.88/year) |
12 months |
Unlimited resume and cover letter downloads, all templates, priority support |
| Premium Access (monthly) |
$14.99 |
1 month (renews monthly) |
Same as annual, higher per-month cost |
| Free tier |
$0 |
N/A (no renewal) |
Basic resume builder, limited templates, no downloads |
| Three-month plan |
$29.97 total ($9.99/month) |
3 months |
Same as Premium Access, shorter commitment |
If you subscribed to Premium Access on an annual plan, your upfront cost is $119.88 SGD. Cancellation within 14 days qualifies you for a full refund under the money-back guarantee. After 14 days, Perfect Resume typically does not offer prorated refunds, meaning you forfeit the unused months if you cancel mid-year. Yafee recommends reviewing your original invoice to confirm your plan type and purchase date before requesting a refund.
Timeline: when your cancellation takes effect
Cancellation timing varies by platform and requires clear understanding to avoid surprise charges. The timeline below shows when your access ends and when billing stops.
Website cancellations (perfectresume.com)
Your cancellation takes effect immediately after you confirm the request. Your account status changes to "Cancelled" within one hour. However, your access to premium features continues until your current billing cycle ends on the renewal date displayed at cancellation. No charges occur after that renewal date. For example, if your renewal date is 25 March 2024 and you cancel on 10 March, you retain premium access until 25 March, then billing stops.
Apple app store cancellations
Apple processes cancellations within one hour of submission. Your access ends on the last day of your current billing cycle. Apple sends a confirmation email listing your final access date. No further charges appear after that date.
Google play cancellations
Google typically processes cancellations within four hours. Your premium access ends on your renewal date. Google confirms the cancellation and final access date via email.
If Perfect Resume refuses to cancel or continues billing
If you've followed all steps and Perfect Resume continues charging you or refuses to cancel, escalation routes exist to recover your money and resolve the dispute. This section explains your enforcement options under Singapore law.
Step one: contact Perfect Resume support directly
Email [email protected] (or the support email on their website) with your cancellation reference number, account email, and dates of unauthorised charges. Request written confirmation of cancellation within 5 business days. Attach screenshots of your account showing the cancellation request and bank statements showing continued charges. Give Perfect Resume a reasonable opportunity to respond; many disputes resolve at this stage once the company reviews your evidence.
Step two: dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer
Contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback or reversal for charges that continued after cancellation or for unauthorised subscriptions. Provide your bank with Perfect Resume's refusal to cancel, your cancellation confirmations, and evidence of continued charges. Most banks accept chargebacks for unauthorised recurring subscriptions and process reversals within 30 to 60 days. Your bank may temporarily credit your account while investigating.
Step three: lodge a complaint with the consumers association of singapore (CASE)
If Perfect Resume refuses a refund and your bank's chargeback process stalls, file a formal complaint with CASE. You can lodge complaints online at case.org.sg or by visiting their office. CASE investigates disputes between consumers and traders, mediates settlements, and reports traders who engage in unfair practices. Yafee advises gathering all documentation before filing: cancellation confirmations, support emails, bank statements, and screenshots of your account status. CASE does not charge a filing fee for complaints.
Step four: report the trader to the consumers association of singapore
If Perfect Resume engages in a pattern of refusing cancellations or unauthorised billing, you can report the issue directly to CASE's enforcement division. CASE may investigate and take regulatory action if the company violates the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. Your complaint contributes to a record that protects other Singapore consumers.
