Cooling-off period (14-day right to cancel)

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 you have a 14-day cancellation period for distance contracts. If you cancel within 14 days you are entitled to a refund of payments made for the service unless you gave express consent for immediate supply of digital content and accepted loss of the right to cancel. Reimbursement should be made within 14 days of being informed of the cancellation. See the Regulations 2013.

Price increase

If ResumeNerd increases the price for future renewals and that constitutes a contract variation, you are entitled to cancel if the variation materially disadvantages you. To cancel for this reason, send the price increase notice and a cancellation request; keep the notice and your sent message as proof. Applicable law: Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Consumer Rights Act 2015 protections on unfair contract terms.

Death of the subscriber

To cancel in the event of the account holder's death, provide a copy of the death certificate and a written request from the executor or administrator to [email protected] or by post to the Cardiff address. ResumeNerd's specific procedure is not published; include proof documents when contacting support.

Moving / relocation

Moving country alone is not an automatic legal right to cancel unless the contract specifically limits service to certain territories. ResumeNerd does not publish a territory-based cancellation rule. To request cancellation due to relocation, send proof of new address and a written request to [email protected].

Legitimate grounds and accepted reasons

ResumeNerd has no public, exhaustive list of accepted legitimate grounds. Use documented proof (emails, screenshots, bank statements or the death certificate) to support your request. Where digital content has been supplied and you gave express consent to start the service, the right to cancel may be lost under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

End of commitment

If you are on a monthly plan you can request cancellation and it will prevent further renewals. Keep the cancellation confirmation email as proof of termination. Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill until the date of termination.

Before you cancel: how to negotiate

Research does not identify specific retention offers that ResumeNerd publicly provides. If you want to attempt retention, call 844-363-0076 during listed hours or email [email protected] and ask for any available discounts or plan downgrades. Sample ask: request a one-off price adjustment or a pause of the subscription and request written confirmation. If the agent offers a retention discount, request the exact new monthly amount and an effective date in writing.

What cancelling saves you - annual cost math

Use real plan prices published for the UK market to compute yearly savings.

Monthly Subscription example: £19.95 x 12 = £239.40 per year.

Quarterly Plan example: £39.95 per quarter. Annual cost = £39.95 x 4 = £159.80 per year.

14-Day Trial example: one-time fee £1.95 for the trial period; if not cancelled it converts to the monthly plan rate.

Cheapest real alternative from research: PurpleCV at £50 (one-off CV service). Yearly comparison example if you switch from ResumeNerd monthly to PurpleCV one-off:

ResumeNerd monthly cost: £19.95 x 12 = £239.40 per year.

PurpleCV one-off cost: £50.00 one year cost.

Yearly saving by switching = £239.40 - £50.00 = £189.40.

Key UK consumer laws

Two primary protections apply: the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The Regulations 2013 give a 14-day cooling-off right for online contracts and require reimbursement within 14 days of cancellation. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill and protects against unfair contract terms.

Auto-renewal and hard-to-cancel subscriptions

The Competition and Markets Authority treats hard-to-cancel subscriptions and unclear auto-renewal terms as potential unfair practices. If you cannot cancel or the company charges you despite cancellation, gather evidence and escalate.

How to escalate

1. Complain to ResumeNerd first by email to [email protected] or by post to Crown Way, CF14 3UZ Cardiff, United Kingdom. 2. If unresolved, get advice from Citizens Advice and, where relevant, raise a payment dispute with your card issuer or request a chargeback. 3. For qualifying card transactions use Section 75 (if payment over £100 and under applicable rules) through the card provider. 4. If you suspect unfair contract terms or poor practices, report to the CMA. For the 2013 Regulations text see legislation.gov.uk.

Keep proof and check billing

Keep the cancellation confirmation email and any cancellation number. Check your bank statement for any further charges during the next billing cycle and compare with the cancellation date to confirm no additional renewals were applied.

Access to files and re-activation

If you downloaded your resume before cancelling, keep the files backed up locally. ResumeNerd's published information does not specify how long accounts or data remain after cancellation. If you want to re-activate, sign in to your account and follow the subscription process or contact [email protected] for reactivation details.

Requesting a refund

ResumeNerd states refunds are not guaranteed; any approved refund will be credited to the original payment method. If you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period and did not consent to immediate supply of digital content, you may be entitled to a refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. To request a refund, send your cancellation confirmation and a refund request to [email protected] and keep records of all correspondence.

Use this checklist after you cancel to protect your money and evidence.

• Save the cancellation confirmation email and cancellation number.
• Take screenshots of the Manage Account page showing the cancellation status.
• Check your bank or card statement for any charges in the 30 days following cancellation.
• If you were charged after cancellation, email [email protected] with copies of your cancellation evidence and request a refund.
• If you used a trial, confirm the trial charge amount (for example, £1.95) and the date it was charged.
• If no satisfactory response in 14 days, contact Citizens Advice and consider a chargeback with your card issuer.
• If you send a postal cancellation, keep the recorded delivery receipt as proof of posting and delivery.
