Adobe Stock Contributor Account Deactivated - Waiting 52 Days for a Response

Hello everyone,

My Adobe Stock contributor account was deactivated, and I submitted the appeal form. I later received Case Number: 00511411.

It has now been 52 days, and although I have sent polite follow-up emails, I have not yet received a final update.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? If any Adobe Community Expert or moderator can provide guidance or check whether my case is still under review, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.

    Investigations can take weeks or even months, depending on the number of investigations ahead of yours. You have a case number. It’s highly recommended that you do not attempt to contact Adobe again asking for a follow up, as this can create additional case numbers and impede their investigation. You’ve done all you can do at this point.

    It's very unfortunate that Adobe deactivate accounts without giving any oppertunity to rectify any issue.On 12th June I made a payout request and after 3/4 days my account deactivated.Raised complaint on contact form,but till date no response from Adobe except a token number.I worked hard to generate around 6600 images on my contributor account and now not able to understand what to do.They should settle the payment before deactivating any account.

    As per the contributor agreement that you signed, Adobe reserves the right to disable accounts for any reason without notice. You apparently have a case number and your only option at this time is to wait for Adobe to complete their investigation. Unfortunately, this can take weeks or even months, depending on the number of investigations ahead of yours.

    Sadly, there’s no way to expedite an internal investigation.  It must go through many paces before completion. 

    Just be patient and work on other things. Submit content to other outlets if you wish.

    Thank you for your response. I appreciate the clarification. I have only one case number and have been replying to the same email thread rather than creating new cases. I understand that investigations can take time, so I will wait patiently for the final decision. Thank you
