Verified ReviewerResolved: AVOID: DECEPTIVE BILLING
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund.
The charges were unexpected and unauthorized, and attempts to resolve the issue with customer service were met with unsatisfactory responses.
It appears that LiveCareer has a pattern of misleading customers about the costs associated with their services, as evidenced by numerous reviews describing similar billing issues and difficulties in canceling subscriptions. I strongly caution others to avoid this service due to their lack of transparency and poor customer service.

I had cancelled an order on 12-28-23 I did get a confirmation number and today I get a call from my bank saying there is an unauthorized charge trying to be made to my account. I called live careers and was told that I authorized the charge.
I told them they illegally reopened an account that was closed and are trying to charge my card. The representative was extremely rude unprofessional I would not ever recommend them

Verified BuyerSCAMMERS
I recently noticed a recurring bill of over $34, which I did not authorize or subscribe to.To provide some context, I made a one-time purchase from livecareer platform for $2 to create a one time resume and did not consent to saving my card information for future transactions, especially not for automatic payment removal. Unfortunately, I have not used any additional services or incurred any charges beyond the initial purchase,but still got debitted for 34.93 , SCAMMERS!
- Filed a case and only got half of my money back
- Thieves no other names

User's recommendation: DONT USE LIVECAREER
You all are really lazy to read, I have checked the Live Career website using a VPN, to make them think I am in different countries and I could find out in all cases it states that´s not a one time payment, I actually could not find any one time payment option, the 2.95 option it´s a 14 days trial that clearly says that you should cancel inside the first 14 days in order to avoid any other charge. You deserve that lose because of your laziness.

DO NOT SIGN UP ON LIVECAREER
I recently signed up on this website, LiveCareer, and I am really frustrated! Foremost, the customer service is to beg for.
With a deadline to submit my cover letter for a Masters Degree program, I failed to download the cover letter on one page. I revised the cover letter, meaning I counted the number of words that appeared on the second page, edited the original letter by removing the same amount of words in hope that I would eventually get the letter on to one page to no avail. I re-edited the letter again and again, loosing almost two times the amount of words that were on my original letter and kept on getting two pages. So I decided to change the cover letter to a different version and same results.
After wasting almost two days, I eventually gave up.
But Oops now I can't get them to delete my mode of payment off their website even though I have made it clear, I am not interested nor will I ever be interested in their services ever again.
Websites are hacked all the time, and I don't want my credit card staying on sites that I no longer have use for. What will it take for these people to delete my account and payment information off their site?

Verified ReviewerNegative Stars If I Could
I got charged $23.95 as a surprise. Looking back, I probably should've read the fine print, so that's on me.
It's what happened afterward that was the issue. I emailed for days asking for a refund and nobody responded to me over email. I finally went to the chat, but they took FOREVER to respond. And then...When I said that I could not afford the service and that I needed a refund, they said "I think you need a new job, then.
You can use our service for a reduced price". Are you kidding me? I don't have the money now! What makes you think I'll keep paying for your crap service.
You don't answer emails and now you tell me I need a new job? And what do you think I was trying to do? I told them I'd call instead because honestly? Is it really acceptable to talk to people like that?
When I called, I ended up getting the refund (bless!) but not before the representative tried to sell me a discounted price maybe 10 times. He was very persistent. He was nice, don't get me wrong. But I said no a lot.
Definitely call if you want things settled, though.
The guy was nice, just, again, very persistent. With all of that, it feels a lot like a scam.

I tried to cancel my trial subscription multiple times but it was simply impossible to do on their website. No matter what I did it remained active. I contacted customer support a few times, and they promised me to issue a full refund, but every time I asked about some case confirmation number they just ended the chat.
