Updated February 2026 • 4 min read

Cancel Immediately

1. Go to resume-now.com/app/account
2. Sign in → My Account
3. Click Cancel subscription or Cancel plan
4. They'll show discount offers — click through all of them
5. Confirm cancellation and screenshot the confirmation

Before You Cancel: Download Your Resume

Resume-Now may delete or restrict access to your resume after cancellation. Download it as PDF immediately.

1. Open your resume in the editor
2. Click Download → Choose PDF
3. Also download as DOCX (Word) for future editing
4. Save both files to your computer

If the Website Won't Let You Cancel

Some users report the cancel button not working or being hidden. Try these:

• Email: support@resume-now.com — subject "CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION IMMEDIATELY"
• Phone: 1-866-236-1290
• Bank/credit card: Call your bank and block future charges from Resume-Now
• Replace card: If all else fails, request a new card number from your bank

How the Trap Works

1. You search "free resume builder" on Google
2. Resume-Now appears with "free" templates
3. You build your resume (free so far)
4. To download it, they require a $2.85 "14-day access" payment
5. You enter your card, thinking it's a one-time charge
6. 14 days later: $23.95/month starts charging automatically
7. Many people don't notice for 2-3 months ($72+ wasted)

Get a Refund

• Contact them: Call 1-866-236-1290 or email — request refund for all months charged after the trial
• Dispute with your bank: File a chargeback for unauthorized recurring charges. Banks side with consumers on subscription trap disputes.
• File BBB complaint: Resume-Now (parent: Bold LLC) has an F rating with BBB — a formal complaint often gets refunds processed
• FTC complaint: Report at reportfraud.ftc.gov
