Cancel ResumeHelp: Your Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel ResumeHelp: protect your money with south africa's consumer rights
Why you might cancel ResumeHelp and what you need to know
ResumeHelp is an online subscription service that provides resume templates, formatting tools, and optional professional editing to help you build a competitive CV. You gain access to a library of editable templates and formatting suggestions during your paid subscription period. Many South African users sign up expecting immediate results, but some discover the service doesn't match their needs, industry requirements, or budget after the trial phase ends.
Your decision to cancel is valid whether you have completed your resume, found better value elsewhere, or simply want to stop recurring charges from your bank account. At Yafee, we understand that subscriptions often trap users into auto-renewal cycles without clear cancellation paths, so we have created this guide to help you cancel ResumeHelp with confidence and protect your money. We have helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations in South Africa, and this guide follows the same proven framework.
Common reasons south african users cancel ResumeHelp
The most common reasons we hear from South African consumers include unexpected auto-renewal charges, difficulty locating the cancellation button on the website, and better value found with competitors. Some users complete their resume within days and no longer need ongoing access. Others discover the templates do not suit their industry or experience level. Understanding your reason helps you decide whether to cancel immediately or downgrade your plan instead.
When you must cancel to avoid the next charge
ResumeHelp operates on auto-renewal billing, which means your subscription automatically renews at the end of each paid period unless you cancel. The timing of your cancellation matters: you typically have until your next renewal date to stop charges. Yafee recommends cancelling within 14 days of your initial purchase if you want a full refund, and at least one week before your renewal date to avoid unexpected deductions from your account.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South Africa's Consumer Protection Act (CPA), No. 68 of 2008, gives you specific protections when dealing with subscription services and online retailers. You have the right to cancel within 14 calendar days of purchase without penalty, and the company must process your cancellation request and confirm it in writing within a reasonable timeframe.
Your legal position: the 14-day cooling-off period
The CPA's section 16 establishes your 14-day cancellation window as your strongest legal protection. If you cancel within this period and request a refund, ResumeHelp must return your money in full unless they can prove you have consumed the service materially beyond what was necessary to test it. Email remains your best evidence: send your cancellation request to their support address and retain all confirmations. Yafee strongly encourages you to document everything in writing so you have clear evidence if a dispute arises later.
The National Consumer Commission (NCC) enforces the CPA on your behalf. If ResumeHelp refuses your cancellation or refund request, you can escalate the matter to the NCC or your provincial consumer protection office at no cost.
Refunds and protections after 14 days
After 14 days, the CPA still protects you if ResumeHelp breaches its agreement. For example, if the service does not work as described, if templates are missing, or if the company misrepresents features, you retain the right to cancel and request a refund for the unused portion of your subscription. The company cannot hide behind a "no refunds after 14 days" clause if they have failed to deliver what they promised.
If the company refuses your cancellation or refund request, escalate to the NCC immediately. Keep records of all support emails, payment confirmations, and screenshots of the service issues before pursuing escalation. The NCC has the power to compel refunds and impose penalties on non-compliant businesses.
Subscription pricing in south african rands
ResumeHelp pricing in South African rands (ZAR) varies depending on current exchange rates and promotional offers at the time you sign up. The table below shows typical pricing converted from USD; your actual charges depend on your payment method and currency settings during checkout.
| Plan type | Typical USD price | ZAR equivalent (approximate) | Renewal cycle | Cancellation deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-day trial pass | US$2.90 (introductory) | R50-R55 | Auto-renews every 4 weeks at US$24.90 | Cancel by day 14 for full refund |
| Monthly plan | US$24.90 | R435-R450 | Renews monthly | 7 days before renewal |
| Quarterly plan | US$59.70 | R1,040-R1,070 | Renews every 3 months | 14 days before renewal |
| Annual plan | US$99.90 | R1,740-R1,800 | Renews annually | 30 days before renewal |
Note: ZAR amounts are approximate and fluctuate daily with exchange rates. Check your bank statement or credit card bill for your exact charge. If you notice a charge in a currency you did not authorize (such as USD), contact ResumeHelp support and request a refund for unauthorized currency conversion fees.
Step-by-step cancellation instructions for ResumeHelp
Follow these steps to cancel your ResumeHelp subscription and stop recurring charges. Your exact cancellation method depends on how you signed up: directly on the website, via app store, or through a third-party payment platform.
Cancelling via the ResumeHelp website
- Log in to your ResumeHelp account using your email and password.
- Visit resumehelp.com and click "Sign In" in the top right corner.
- Enter your registered email address and password.

- If you cannot find these options, scroll to the footer and look for "Account" or "Billing".
- Locate your active subscription plan and click "Manage Subscription" or "Cancel Plan".
- This option usually appears under a section labelled "Current Plan" or "Active Subscriptions".
- You may see a renewal date displayed; note this date for your records.
- Select your reason for cancellation from the dropdown menu.
- Common options include "Found a better service", "No longer need the service", or "Too expensive".

- Save this document to your computer or phone as proof.
- Forward the confirmation email to yourself with the subject line "ResumeHelp cancellation proof" for easy retrieval later.
Cancelling if you subscribed via apple app store or google play
- Open the Apple App Store or Google Play Store app on your device.
- On iPhone: tap the profile icon in the bottom right, then select "Subscriptions".
- On Android: tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), then select "Subscriptions".
- Find ResumeHelp in your list of active subscriptions.
- You will see the renewal date and the next charge amount listed.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage" and then "Cancel".
- The app store will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation.
- Provide feedback if prompted; this helps Yafee and other consumer advocates track company practices.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page.
- This serves as proof if you need to dispute a charge later.
Cancelling if you subscribed via PayPal or credit card payment processor
- Log in to your PayPal account (or the payment processor's website if you used a different service).
- Navigate to the "Subscriptions" or "Recurring Payments" section.
- On PayPal, this appears under Settings > Payments > Manage Automatic Payments.
- Find ResumeHelp in your list of active subscriptions and select it.
- You will see the amount, renewal date, and cancellation options.
- Click "Cancel" and confirm your decision.
- The payment processor will stop future charges immediately.

- This ensures their records match your cancellation and prevents disputes.
- Include your order number and the date you cancelled with the payment processor.
Cancelling by email if website access fails
- Compose an email to ResumeHelp support at their primary support address.
- Use a clear subject line: "Request to cancel my ResumeHelp subscription".
- Include the following information in your email:
- Your full name and registered email address.
- Your account order number (if available from your confirmation email or invoice).
- Your subscription plan type (e.g. monthly, quarterly, annual).
- Your next renewal date.
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my ResumeHelp subscription. Please confirm cancellation within 48 hours."
- Send the email and retain the receipt confirmation.
- Outlook and Gmail automatically timestamp sent emails; this timestamp is your proof of cancellation request.
- Expect a response within 24 to 48 hours confirming cancellation.
- If you receive no response within 48 hours, follow up with a second email referencing the first.
- If cancellation is still refused, escalate to the National Consumer Commission (see section below).
Refunds and what happens after cancellation
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and whether you fall within South Africa's legal cooling-off period. Yafee has helped consumers recover thousands of rands in unauthorized charges by understanding these rules clearly.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 calendar days of your initial purchase, you are entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act section 16. ResumeHelp must process your refund within 15 business days of receiving your cancellation request. Your money should appear back in your bank account or on your credit card within 3 to 5 business days after ResumeHelp processes the refund.
Refunds after 14 days
After the 14-day cooling-off period, ResumeHelp is not legally required to offer a refund for the current billing cycle. However, you remain entitled to cancel your subscription to prevent future charges. If you have used the service significantly during your billing period, you may not qualify for a pro-rata refund. Request a refund in writing nonetheless; Yafee recommends this approach because some companies honour partial refunds as a gesture of goodwill.
What to do if your refund does not arrive
If your refund has not appeared in your account within 20 business days of cancellation, follow these steps:
- Contact ResumeHelp support with your cancellation confirmation number and ask for a refund status update. Provide a clear deadline: "I require a status update within 48 hours."
- If ResumeHelp does not respond or refuses the refund, contact your bank or credit card issuer and file a chargeback claim. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
- If the chargeback is declined, escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission with copies of all emails, payment statements, and cancellation confirmations.
After cancellation: access and ongoing charges
Once you cancel, your access to ResumeHelp typically ends immediately or on your next renewal date, depending on the company's policy. You will receive a cancellation confirmation email stating your final access date. Your bank account will no longer receive recurring charges after this date. Verify your bank statement 1 to 2 weeks after cancellation to confirm no additional charges appear.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription is straightforward, but a few critical errors can derail your cancellation or prevent you from recovering your money. Yafee encourages you to read this section carefully so you avoid these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: cancelling with the payment processor but not notifying ResumeHelp
If you cancel with your bank, PayPal, or app store but do not formally notify ResumeHelp, the company may dispute the chargeback or claim you did not give proper notice. Always cancel directly with ResumeHelp first, or send a follow-up email to their support address confirming your cancellation. This creates a paper trail that protects you if a dispute arises.
Mistake 2: not documenting your cancellation in writing
Cancellations made by phone call or live chat are difficult to prove later. Always request a cancellation confirmation email or take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation page. Without written proof, you have no evidence if ResumeHelp continues to charge you or if your refund claim is disputed.
Mistake 3: missing your cancellation deadline
If you cancel one day after your renewal date, you have already been charged for the next billing cycle. Mark your renewal date in your phone calendar and set a reminder 7 days before that date. This buffer ensures you cancel before charges hit your account, not after.
Mistake 4: assuming silence means cancellation
If ResumeHelp does not respond to your cancellation email within 48 hours, do not assume your cancellation went through. Follow up with a second email and escalate to your bank or the payment processor if no response arrives within 72 hours. Silence is not confirmation; you need explicit written acknowledgement.
Escalation: what to do if ResumeHelp refuses to cancel
If ResumeHelp ignores your cancellation request, continues to charge your account after you cancel, or refuses to process a refund you are entitled to under the Consumer Protection Act, you have legal recourse. Yafee recommends following this escalation path in order.
Step 1: formal written demand to ResumeHelp
Send a formal cancellation demand email to ResumeHelp support with the subject line "Final cancellation demand and refund request under South African law". Include the following:
- Your full name, email address, and account number.
- The date you originally purchased the subscription.
- The dates of any previous cancellation requests you submitted.
- The amount charged and the next scheduled renewal date.
- A clear statement: "I demand cancellation of my ResumeHelp subscription effective immediately and a full refund of all charges within 15 days, in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act section 16. If this demand is not met, I will escalate this matter to the National Consumer Commission and pursue legal action."
Keep a copy of this email for your records. Do not send this as a threat; send it as a factual legal notice.
Step 2: escalate to the national consumer commission (NCC)
If ResumeHelp does not respond within 15 business days or refuses your refund request, file a complaint with the National Consumer Commission. You can lodge a complaint online at ncc.org.za, by phone at +27 012 428 8000, or by post at the NCC's offices in Pretoria. The NCC will investigate your complaint at no cost and has the power to compel ResumeHelp to refund your money and pay penalties for non-compliance.
Provide the NCC with:
- Copies of all emails to and from ResumeHelp support.
- Screenshots of your account showing the subscription and renewal dates.
- Bank or credit card statements showing the charges.
- Copies of your formal cancellation demands.
Step 3: file a chargeback with your bank
If the NCC's investigation does not resolve your case within 60 days, or if ResumeHelp is unresponsive, contact your bank and file a chargeback (also called a dispute claim). Provide your bank with your NCC complaint number and all supporting documentation. Your bank will reverse the charges and recover your money. Yafee recommends pursuing the NCC route first because chargebacks can damage your banking relationship, but they remain a valid last resort.
Comparison: ResumeHelp versus similar services
If you are considering alternatives to ResumeHelp, the table below compares common features, pricing, and cancellation policies. This comparison helps you decide whether to cancel or switch to a better option.
| Service | Monthly ZAR | Cancellation method | Refund policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| ResumeHelp | R435-R450 | Website or email | 14 days full refund |
| Canva Pro (CV templates) | R89-R120 | Website subscription settings | 14 days full refund |
| LinkedIn Premium | R149-R199 | Website account settings | Cancels immediately, no refund after trial |
| CV Genius (South Africa) | R299-R399 | Email support | 30 days money-back guarantee |
Before you cancel, consider whether downgrading to a lower-tier plan might suit your needs better. Some services offer quarterly or annual plans at lower monthly rates, which can provide better value if you plan to use the service long-term.

ResumeHelp contact addresses
ResumeHelp is registered in Bermuda and processes subscription cancellations and refund requests through their main support team. Send your cancellation requests and disputes to their primary support email address listed on their website under "Contact Us". For legal notices or arbitration opt-out requests, you may send formal correspondence to their registered office address in Bermuda (typically listed in their Terms of Service).

Yafee has supported consumers through NCC complaints and found that providing thorough documentation speeds up investigation and increases the likelihood of a favourable outcome.
