Frequently asked questions
Cancel Resumemedia: The Right Way
How to cancel Resumemedia in south africa and protect your money
Why you might want to cancel Resumemedia
Resumemedia is an online CV and resume-building platform that helps job seekers create professional application materials using templates, formatting tools, and optional writing assistance. The service operates on both free and paid subscription models, with premium tiers unlocking advanced templates, AI-powered writing suggestions, and expedited support.
You may decide to cancel for legitimate reasons: your job search has concluded, you have found better value with a competitor, or the platform simply does not align with your needs. Whatever your motivation, understanding your cancellation rights and the correct procedure protects your bank account and your time. Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process with legal precision and practical clarity.
What Resumemedia offers and who uses it
Resumemedia delivers customizable resume templates, a guided CV builder, multiple export formats (PDF and Word), and optional expert editing. Premium subscribers access exclusive templates, advanced writing assistance powered by artificial intelligence, and priority customer support. Job seekers, career changers, and professionals refreshing their credentials typically use this service.
Common reasons to cancel Resumemedia
You may cancel once you have secured employment, discovered that automatic renewal charged you unexpectedly, or realized that competitor services better suit your requirements. Some users cancel because they completed their CV and no longer require ongoing access. Others discontinue after their initial subscription term expires because the service fails to deliver the promised value or features.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South Africa's legal framework for consumer protection is robust and places clear obligations on subscription services like Resumemedia. Understanding these rights empowers you to cancel with confidence and pursue refunds if necessary.
What the consumer protection act (2008) guarantees you
The Consumer Protection Act (2008) is the primary legislation governing all consumer transactions in South Africa, including digital subscriptions. This Act requires that Resumemedia displays all terms, pricing, and cancellation conditions clearly and fairly before you pay. You hold the right to cancel without penalty if the service fails to deliver advertised features, or if cancellation terms are hidden, vague, or unreasonably restrictive.
Furthermore, Section 47 of the Consumer Protection Act protects you against direct marketing and automatic renewal traps. If Resumemedia continues charging you after you have cancelled, that constitutes an unauthorized transaction. You can dispute this charge with your bank and demand a full refund without penalty.
Your legal position: You are a consumer with full statutory protection. Resumemedia must honor your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5 to 10 working days), cease charging you immediately upon cancellation, and confirm cancellation in writing via email. If the company refuses or delays, you have legal recourse.
Where to escalate if Resumemedia refuses your cancellation
If Resumemedia ignores your cancellation request, denies a legitimate refund, or continues to charge you after you have terminated your subscription, escalate your complaint to the National Consumer Commission (NCC). The NCC is the statutory authority responsible for enforcing the Consumer Protection Act and investigating complaints against service providers.
You can file a complaint on the NCC website (www.ncc.org.za) or contact their hotline. The Commission has legal authority to investigate, compel Resumemedia to comply with the Act, and impose penalties if the company is found in breach. Importantly, escalating to the NCC costs you nothing and does not require legal representation.
Alternatively, your bank or credit card issuer offers chargeback protection. If you report the disputed charge as unauthorized, most South African financial institutions can reverse it within 120 days of the transaction date. This provides a secondary remedy if Resumemedia refuses to process your refund voluntarily.
How to cancel Resumemedia if you subscribed directly on their website
Direct subscriptions made through the Resumemedia website are the easiest to cancel because you control the process entirely through your account settings. Follow these steps precisely to ensure your cancellation is processed and recorded.
Step one: log in to your Resumemedia account
- Open a web browser and navigate to the Resumemedia website.
- Use your personal computer, tablet, or smartphone.
- Click the "Sign In" or "Log In" button, typically located at the top right of the homepage.
- Enter the email address associated with your subscription.
- Enter your password.
- If you have forgotten your password, select "Forgot Password," check your email inbox, and follow the reset link.
- Once logged in successfully, you will see your account dashboard or homepage.
Step two: navigate to your account billing or subscription settings
- Look for a menu option labeled "Account," "Settings," "Profile," or "Billing."
- This is often located in the top navigation bar or in a dropdown menu under your name or profile icon.
- Click on "Subscription," "Plans," "Billing," or "Payment Methods."
- You may see multiple tabs; select the one that shows your active subscription details.
- Your current plan and renewal date should now be visible on screen.
Step three: locate your active subscription and select the cancel option
- Find your active subscription listed under your current plan.
- It will display the plan name, the amount charged, and the date it next renews.
- Look for a button or link labeled "Cancel," "Cancel Subscription," "Downgrade," or "Manage Plan."
- Click this button immediately.
- Resumemedia may display a retention message or offer a discount to keep you subscribed.
- You are not obligated to accept any offer or discount. Select "Continue to Cancellation" or the equivalent button to proceed.
Step four: confirm your cancellation and save your confirmation
- Resumemedia will ask you to confirm that you wish to cancel.
- Select "Confirm Cancellation," "Yes, Cancel My Subscription," or the equivalent confirmation button.
- The website will display a cancellation confirmation message on screen.
- Take a screenshot of this confirmation immediately and save it to your computer or phone.
- Note the date, time, and any cancellation reference number shown.
- Check your email inbox within 10 minutes for a confirmation email from Resumemedia.
- If no email arrives, check your spam or junk folder.
- If you receive no confirmation email within one hour, contact Resumemedia support immediately (see the escalation section below).
How to cancel Resumemedia if you subscribed through a third-party platform
Some users subscribe to Resumemedia through app stores, payment platforms, or resellers rather than directly on the Resumemedia website. If this applies to you, you must cancel through the platform where you originally made the purchase, not through Resumemedia itself.
If you subscribed through the apple app store (iOS)
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner.
- Tap "Subscriptions."
- You will see a list of all active and inactive subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find "Resumemedia" in the list and tap it.
- The subscription details and renewal date will appear.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" or "Edit."
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation and save it.
If you subscribed through google play store (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Manage subscriptions" or "Payments and subscriptions."
- Tap "Manage subscriptions."
- Find "Resumemedia" in your active subscriptions and tap it.
- The next billing date and plan details will be displayed.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm when prompted.
- Screenshot the confirmation immediately.
If you subscribed through a credit card or payment gateway
- Contact Resumemedia support directly via email or the contact form on their website.
- Provide your full name, email address, and the email address associated with your subscription.
- Explicitly request cancellation of your subscription and state that no further charges should be made.
- Ask for a written cancellation confirmation via email.
- If Resumemedia does not respond within 5 working days, escalate your cancellation request to your bank or card issuer.
- Contact your bank's customer service line and report the charge as unauthorized.
- Provide copies of your cancellation request email and any response from Resumemedia.
- Your bank can freeze future payments and issue a refund.
What happens after you cancel Resumemedia
Cancellation does not happen instantaneously. Understanding the post-cancellation timeline protects you from unexpected charges and helps you identify problems early. Yafee recommends monitoring your bank account closely for the next billing cycle after cancellation.
Your access after cancellation
Resumemedia typically allows you to access your account and download your resume until the end of your current billing period. After that date, your premium features will be deactivated, and you will be demoted to the free tier (if available) or lose access entirely. You retain the right to download your documents in full before access expires.
Timeline for stopping charges
Resumemedia should process your cancellation and cease all charges immediately. However, if you cancelled mid-cycle, you may not receive a prorated refund for unused days unless the service terms explicitly guarantee one. Check your cancellation confirmation email for the exact end date of your access.
Monitor your bank statement or credit card activity for the next 10 to 15 days. If Resumemedia charges you again after your cancellation date, this is a breach of the Consumer Protection Act, and you have grounds to dispute the charge and demand a full refund.
Pursuing a refund if Resumemedia continues charging you
If you cancelled successfully but Resumemedia has charged you again, you have the legal right to recover that money. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, unauthorized charges are recoverable without question.
Step one: contact Resumemedia and demand a refund in writing
- Send a written email to Resumemedia support.
- Include your full name, email address, phone number, and account details.
- State clearly that you cancelled your subscription on [specific date] and provide your cancellation confirmation reference number.
- Explain that Resumemedia has charged you again on [charge date] and demand a full refund within 5 working days.
- Attach screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and the disputed charge.
- Keep a copy of this email for your records.
- If Resumemedia does not respond within 5 working days, proceed to step two.
Step two: dispute the charge with your bank
- Log in to your online banking portal or mobile app and navigate to your account statements.
- Locate the disputed Resumemedia charge.
- Select the transaction and choose "Dispute," "Report Unauthorized," or "Request Chargeback."
- The exact wording depends on your bank's interface.
- Provide your cancellation confirmation email and any written correspondence with Resumemedia as supporting evidence.
- Explain that you cancelled your subscription and did not authorize this charge.
- Submit the dispute and wait for your bank's investigation (typically 10 to 30 days).
- Your bank will contact Resumemedia to request evidence that you authorized the charge.
- If Resumemedia cannot provide proof of authorization after cancellation, your bank will reverse the charge and refund your money.
Step three: escalate to the national consumer commission if your bank refuses
- If your bank declines your chargeback request or if Resumemedia disputes it successfully, file a formal complaint with the National Consumer Commission.
- Visit www.ncc.org.za and navigate to "File a Complaint."
- Complete the online complaint form with details of your subscription, cancellation, and the disputed charge.
- Attach all supporting documents: cancellation confirmation, dispute email to Resumemedia, and bank statements.
- The NCC will investigate and contact Resumemedia on your behalf.
- This process is free and does not require legal representation.
- The NCC has authority to compel Resumemedia to refund you and to impose penalties on the company for breaching the Consumer Protection Act.
Pricing table: Resumemedia subscription tiers in south africa
Understanding the pricing structure helps you evaluate whether Resumemedia delivers value and whether cancellation is the right choice for your budget.
| Plan | Monthly cost (ZAR) | Key features | Renewal | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free tier | R0 | Basic templates, CV builder, PDF download | No renewal | Budget-conscious users |
| Premium monthly | R79-R129 | Advanced templates, AI writing, priority support | Monthly | Active job seekers needing quick access |
| Premium annual | R799-R999 (billed once) | All premium features, best value | 12 months | Long-term career planners |
| Premium plus | R189-R249 | Expert CV review, interview coaching, job alerts | Monthly or annual | Career changers and professionals |
Prices vary depending on promotional offers and your location within South Africa. Always verify current pricing on the Resumemedia website before subscribing. Yafee strongly recommends reviewing your billing statement to confirm which tier you are paying for before initiating cancellation.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Resumemedia
Cancellation can feel stressful, but knowing the pitfalls in advance means you will cancel cleanly, protect your money, and avoid unnecessary complications. Yafee has identified the mistakes that cost customers time and money.
Mistake one: assuming you have cancelled because your access is disabled
Do not confuse losing access to your premium account with successful cancellation. Resumemedia may disable your premium features at the end of your billing cycle, but this does not automatically cancel your subscription or stop future charges. You must explicitly request cancellation in writing and receive a confirmation email. Without written confirmation, you remain liable for renewal charges.
Mistake two: not downloading your resume before the access deadline
After cancellation, your account will remain active until the end of your current billing period, but access may be limited. Download all your resumes, CVs, and documents immediately after cancelling. Export them in multiple formats (PDF, Word, plain text) and save them to your computer or cloud storage. This prevents data loss and allows you to use your resume with other platforms without re-entry.
Mistake three: cancelling through the app when you subscribed via the website
If you subscribed directly on the Resumemedia website, you must cancel through the website account settings, not through a mobile app. Conversely, if you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through that platform, not the website. Cancelling through the wrong channel often fails to process, and charges continue. Always cancel through the same platform where you originally subscribed.
Mistake four: failing to keep proof of cancellation
Screenshot your cancellation confirmation immediately and save the confirmation email from Resumemedia. This evidence is essential if you later dispute a charge or file a complaint with the NCC. Without proof, your bank or the NCC cannot investigate effectively, and you may struggle to recover unauthorized charges.
Mistake five: ignoring charges after cancellation
If you notice that Resumemedia has charged you after your cancellation date, act immediately. Contact Resumemedia in writing, dispute the charge with your bank, and escalate to the NCC if necessary. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to reverse the transaction. South African banks typically allow chargebacks within 120 days; after that window, recovery becomes substantially more difficult.
Common reasons to keep Resumemedia versus reasons to cancel
This comparison table helps you determine whether Resumemedia is worth the ongoing cost or whether cancellation aligns with your current needs.
| Reason to keep | Reason to cancel | Yafee recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| You are actively job hunting and benefit from templates and AI assistance | You have secured employment and no longer need CV updates | Cancel after job offer confirmed |
| You regularly update your resume for multiple job applications | You completed your CV weeks ago and have not used the service since | Cancel and switch to free tier or competitor |
| Premium features (AI writing, expert review) have measurably improved your application success rate | You are unhappy with template quality or writing suggestions are generic and unhelpful | Cancel and evaluate alternatives |
| The cost per use is under R50 and you use the service monthly | You have not logged in within 90 days or have forgotten you are subscribed | Cancel immediately to recover funds |
