How to Cancel LiveCareer Subscription in 2026
LiveCareer charges ~$19.95/month after a "free trial" that silently converts to a subscription. This is one of the most common complaint patterns on resume builder sites — you built one resume and forgot to cancel.
⚠️ Download First: Log in and download your resume, cover letters, and any other documents as PDF or Word files before canceling. They become inaccessible after cancellation.
Cancel Online
- Go to livecareer.com and sign in
- Click your account name (top right)
- Go to "Account Settings"
- Find the "Subscription" section
- Click "Cancel subscription"
- Decline retention offers and confirm
Cancel by Phone
If you can't find the cancel button online (some users report it's hidden):
- Call 1-855-213-0348
- Request immediate cancellation and a refund for the most recent charge
- Ask for email confirmation
Get a Refund
Refund options:
- Within 14 days: LiveCareer should refund per their terms
- After 14 days: Call and be persistent — many users report getting refunds by escalating
- Credit card dispute: If they refuse, file a chargeback with your bank. Describe it as "trial that converted without clear consent"
The Trial Trap Pattern
Here's how LiveCareer (and similar sites) gets you:
- You search "free resume builder" and find LiveCareer
- You build your resume for free
- To download it, you need to enter payment info for a "trial"
- Trial auto-converts to $19.95/month after 14 days
- You forget about it. They keep charging.

🔴 Avoid These Too: Resume Genius, MyPerfectResume, Zety, and Resume-Now use the exact same trial-to-subscription model as LiveCareer. Some are even owned by the same parent company (Bold/Talent Inc). Always use truly free tools instead.
