Frequently asked questions
Cancel Resume Now: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Resume Now in south africa and stop automatic charges
What Resume Now is and why cancellation matters
Resume Now is a subscription-based platform that helps you create professional resumes and cover letters using AI-powered templates and guided editing tools. You pay upfront for access to premium features including unlimited AI suggestions, exclusive templates and advanced editing functionality. The service operates on automatic renewal, meaning your subscription renews weekly, monthly or yearly unless you actively cancel before your next billing date.
Many South Africans subscribe to Resume Now during active job searches, then forget to cancel once they've secured employment or completed their application materials. This oversight results in recurring charges to your payment method long after the service has served its purpose. Under South African consumer law, you have the right to cancel any subscription and, in certain circumstances, claim a refund for charges you did not authorise. Yafee specialises in helping consumers understand and exercise these rights.
When Resume Now makes sense and when it doesn't
Resume Now appeals to job seekers, career changers and professionals refreshing their CVs during active hiring periods. The service delivers genuine value while you actively need professional resume content. However, once your job search concludes or you've moved past the application phase, the recurring weekly, monthly or yearly charges become an unnecessary expense draining your bank account.
Common reasons South Africans cancel Resume Now include completing their resume, finding employment, dissatisfaction with template quality, discovering free alternatives like Canva or Microsoft Word, or simply wanting to reduce subscription fatigue. If any of these apply to you, cancellation protects your finances.
How automatic renewal works with Resume Now
Resume Now applies charges directly to your payment method on a fixed schedule. Weekly plans renew every 7 days, monthly plans every 30 days and yearly plans every 365 days. The company renews your subscription automatically unless you submit a cancellation request before your renewal date. This automatic renewal model means delays in cancellation cost you money immediately, with your next charge arriving within days.
Resume Now pricing, plans and what you currently pay
Understanding your exact subscription cost helps you calculate how much money you save by cancelling today rather than allowing charges to continue through your next renewal cycle.
Current subscription plans in south african rand
| Plan name | Cost (ZAR) | Renewal cycle | Annual cost | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro Weekly (intro) | R99.99 | Every 7 days | R5,199.48 | Short-term users |
| Pro Monthly | R149.99 | Every 30 days | R1,799.88 | Standard job seekers |
| Pro Yearly | R499.99 | Every 365 days | R499.99 | Career professionals |
Prices shown reflect current listings for South Africa and may vary depending on your payment method, regional promotions or app store currency fluctuations. Contact Resume Now support directly to confirm the exact amount your account was charged.
Why the weekly plan costs significantly more annually
The Pro Weekly plan, marketed as an introductory offer, costs R99.99 every 7 days. Over a year, this amounts to R5,199.48, making it more than 10 times more expensive than the yearly plan at R499.99. This pricing structure deliberately encourages customers to upgrade to monthly or annual plans, but many users forget to cancel entirely. If you subscribed on the weekly plan, cancelling immediately protects you from escalating costs.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South African consumer protection law grants you specific rights when dealing with subscription services like Resume Now, and Yafee recommends you understand these fully before proceeding with cancellation.
What the consumer protection act says about subscriptions
The National Consumer Commission (NCC), South Africa's primary consumer protection authority, enforces the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008. This legislation establishes that suppliers must provide clear information about subscription terms, renewal dates and cancellation procedures before you commit to payment. Crucially, the Act requires that cancellation be "as easy as subscription" - meaning Resume Now cannot impose barriers that make cancelling harder than signing up.
If Resume Now charges you without your explicit consent, charges after you've cancelled, or fails to provide a clear cancellation mechanism, you have grounds to lodge a complaint with the NCC and request a refund. The company must also provide your information in a format that allows you to transfer your data if you choose.
Your legal position on refunds and chargebacks
You have the right to request a refund for charges applied after your cancellation request is submitted, provided you can demonstrate proof of cancellation. If Resume Now refuses a legitimate refund claim, you can escalate to the NCC or your bank. Your bank can issue a chargeback (reversal) if you report unauthorised or disputed charges within 3 months of the transaction date. Many South African banks, including Standard Bank, Absa, FNB and Nedbank, support this dispute resolution process at no cost to you.
How to cancel Resume Now: step-by-step procedures
Resume Now offers cancellation through multiple channels, and Yafee recommends you use the method that provides the clearest proof of cancellation for your records.
Cancel through the mobile app (iOS or android)
If you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel your subscription through that platform, not directly with Resume Now.
- Open the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your device
- Navigate to your account or subscriptions section
- Apple users: Tap your profile icon, select "Subscriptions", then find Resume Now
- Android users: Open the menu, select "Subscriptions", then locate Resume Now
- Select Resume Now from your active subscriptions list
- Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription"
- Confirm cancellation by selecting the final confirmation button
- Screenshot the confirmation page immediately for your records
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation notice from the app store within 24 hours
Cancel directly through Resume now's website
If you subscribed directly on the Resume Now website using a credit card or bank transfer, you must cancel through their website account settings.
- Visit the Resume Now website and log into your account
- Navigate to account settings or subscription management (usually found under "My Account" or "Billing")
- Locate your active subscription and select "Cancel subscription"
- Complete any cancellation survey or reason selection prompts
- Confirm your cancellation request on the final page
- Save and screenshot the confirmation message with the date and cancellation reference number
- Request a confirmation email from Resume Now support if none arrives within 24 hours
Cancel via email to Resume Now support
If you cannot access your account or prefer written documentation, email cancellation provides a paper trail.
- Draft an email to Resume Now support containing:
- Your full name
- Your account email address
- Your subscription plan (weekly, monthly or yearly)
- Your current billing date
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Resume Now subscription effective immediately"
- Send the email using "read receipt" or "delivery confirmation" enabled
- Save the sent email, delivery confirmation and any reply from Resume Now
- Follow up with a second email if you receive no response within 5 business days
Cancel via your bank if Resume Now refuses
If Resume Now fails to cancel your subscription or continues charging after you've requested cancellation, contact your bank directly to dispute the charges.
- Contact your bank's customer service (Nedbank, FNB, Standard Bank or Absa)
- Report the unauthorised or disputed charges to the fraud or disputes team
- Provide proof of your cancellation request (screenshots, emails or app store confirmation)
- Request a chargeback for all charges applied after your cancellation date
- Your bank will investigate within 10 to 30 business days and either reverse the charges or explain why they cannot
What happens after you cancel Resume Now
Cancellation does not end immediately; understanding the timeline protects you from unexpected final charges and helps you verify successful termination.
Your access and billing timeline post-cancellation
Once you submit a cancellation request, Resume Now typically allows you to retain access to premium features until the end of your current billing cycle. This means a cancellation request submitted on day 1 of your 30-day monthly subscription does not cut you off immediately; you retain access through day 30. However, you will not be charged when your subscription renews on day 31.
A final charge may appear on your account if you cancel mid-cycle with certain payment methods. This is normal and reflects the prorated portion of your subscription through the renewal date. Verify this charge against your cancellation date; if you were charged after cancellation was confirmed, contact Resume Now or your bank to dispute it.
Monitor your bank account and billing statements
Check your bank statement or credit card transactions for 10 days after your cancellation date to ensure no further charges appear. If Resume Now continues to charge you after confirmed cancellation, Yafee recommends you gather evidence and escalate immediately.
Request data and verify account deletion
Under the Consumer Protection Act, Resume Now must provide your personal data in a transferable format if you request it. Email support and ask for all your resume drafts, personal information and usage data within 5 business days. Request deletion of your account 30 days after cancellation if you do not plan to use the service again.
How to claim a refund from Resume Now
Cancellation and refunds operate on different legal grounds; understanding this distinction ensures you pursue the correct remedy for your situation.
Refund eligibility under consumer law
You have grounds to request a refund if Resume Now charged you after you submitted a cancellation request, if you did not authorise the original charge, or if the service did not match the description provided at purchase. The NCC recognises that "cooling-off" rights apply to distance contracts (online subscriptions) for 14 days from purchase, but this right expires if you've actively used the service during the trial period.
Refunds for charges after cancellation are not discretionary; they are your legal entitlement under the Consumer Protection Act. Yafee emphasises that Resume Now cannot withhold these refunds or require you to cancel through an obscure process.
Step-by-step refund request process
- Gather evidence including your cancellation confirmation, bank statements showing disputed charges and any correspondence with Resume Now
- Email Resume Now support requesting a refund for charges applied after your cancellation date
- Cite the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 and explain the specific charges you dispute
- Provide a deadline for response (10 business days)
- If Resume Now refuses or ignores your request, lodge a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission
- Include your NCC reference number in any follow-up communication with Resume Now
- If the NCC investigation does not resolve the dispute, contact your bank to initiate a chargeback for the disputed amount
Escalating to the national consumer commission
The NCC accepts complaints from consumers who believe a supplier has violated the Consumer Protection Act. Submit your complaint online at www.ncc.org.za or by post to their Pretoria office. Include all evidence of the disputed charges and your cancellation request. The NCC investigates at no cost to you and can order Resume Now to refund your money plus interest.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Resume Now
Cancellation is straightforward, but small errors can complicate refund claims, which is why Yafee highlights these pitfalls before you proceed.
Mistake 1: cancelling only within the app, not the app store
If you subscribed via iOS or Android, you must cancel through the app store, not through Resume Now's app or website. Cancelling only within the Resume Now app does not stop the app store from renewing your subscription. Always use the app store's subscription management page to ensure the system recognises your cancellation.
Mistake 2: failing to save cancellation proof
Screenshot every confirmation page, email and reference number you receive. If you need to dispute charges later, your bank or the NCC will ask for evidence that you requested cancellation. Verbal cancellations or discussions with support staff are insufficient; written proof is essential.
Mistake 3: cancelling on day 29 of a 30-day cycle and expecting immediate refund
Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund for the current billing cycle you've already paid for. You stop future charges, but you lose access to the service at the end of your current cycle. Plan your cancellation with this timing in mind if refund eligibility matters to you.
Mistake 4: not verifying cancellation with your payment method
Some users receive app store cancellation confirmations but later discover their bank still charges them because the payment method linking failed. Verify cancellation directly with your bank or payment provider 5 days after cancellation. If charges continue, you have evidence of negligence and grounds for a chargeback.
Mistake 5: giving up after Resume now's first refusal
Resume Now may initially deny your refund request, citing terms and conditions. This does not override your consumer rights. Escalate to the NCC immediately; the company's refusal is often a negotiation tactic, not a final decision. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions and recover funds by persisting through formal complaint channels.
After cancellation: what to do next
Cancellation concludes one chapter, but protecting yourself and exploring alternatives ensures you don't repeat this expense.
Free and low-cost resume alternatives
Before resuming paid subscriptions, explore these South African-friendly options that cost nothing or significantly less than Resume Now.
| Service | Cost | Key advantage | Subscription model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canva | Free + Premium | Drag-and-drop simplicity, templates for CVs | Optional monthly/yearly |
| Microsoft Word | Free via Microsoft 365 | Professional templates, no AI needed | None required |
| Google Docs | Free | Cloud storage, shareable, no subscriptions | None required |
| LinkedIn Resume | Free | Integrated with job applications | None required |
Set reminders to prevent recurring expense mistakes
Add a calendar reminder 7 days before any paid subscription renewal date. This practice prevents the same situation from recurring with Resume Now or any other service. Many South Africans find themselves trapped in subscription cycles simply because they forget renewal dates; a simple phone alert solves this permanently.
Review your other subscriptions
Use this cancellation exercise as an opportunity to audit all your active subscriptions. List every service you pay for monthly or yearly (streaming, software, fitness apps, professional services) and evaluate whether each provides genuine value. You may discover other unnecessary subscriptions draining your account. Yafee encourages this holistic approach to personal finance management.
Contact Resume Now for cancellation and disputes
If you require direct contact information for formal complaints or cancellation requests, use these official addresses and channels.
Resume Now primary contact details
Email support: Submit cancellation and refund requests to Resume Now's support email (typically [email protected] or [email protected]; verify current address on their website).
Mailing address (for formal consumer notices): Resume Now maintains offices in Bermuda as its corporate headquarters, with digital services accessible globally. For South African consumer notices under the Consumer Protection Act, address correspondence to their registered agent or principal place of business if operating in South Africa, or use certified email delivery with read receipt confirmation.
Alternative dispute resolution: If Resume Now operates under VerySmart (parent company), escalate unresolved disputes through their internal complaint process before involving the NCC.
National consumer commission contact for complaints
Website: www.ncc.org.za
Online complaints form: Submit formal complaints via their dedicated consumer portal.
Physical address: The National Consumer Commission, Pretoria, South Africa (verify current office location on their website).

Key takeaways and your next steps
Resume Now's automatic renewal model makes cancellation essential as soon as the service no longer serves your needs. You hold specific legal rights under the Consumer Protection Act to cancel easily, claim refunds for unauthorised post-cancellation charges, and escalate to the NCC if Resume Now refuses compliance. Cancel immediately through your app store (if applicable) or directly via their website, save all confirmation documentation, and monitor your bank account for 10 days post-cancellation to ensure charges cease.
If you encounter resistance or continue to be charged after cancellation, your bank and the NCC provide free dispute resolution channels. Yafee specialises in helping South African consumers navigate these exact scenarios, and has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions, recover funds and understand their rights. Take action today, protect your finances, and explore the free alternatives listed above to build your next professional resume without recurring charges.
