Question

A Solution should be provided for cross-border disputes

I’m honestly frustrated and disappointed with this experience.
 

I cancelled my subscription within 14 days and requested a refund and was informed that it was successfully processed. I received the confirmation email, the receipt, and the credit memo. On paper, everything shows that the refund has been completed.
 

However, because this is an international transaction and my bank is a Nigerian institution, my bank requires a proper traceable reference (a network-level refund code) to locate the funds.

I have explained this multiple times, yet I keep receiving the same response, that the refund has been processed and no additional information can be provided.

I have even been told directly that there is nothing more they can share.

 

So I have to ask:

Is this really how customers are treated?
 

If a refund has been processed, why is it so difficult to provide the necessary trace reference that allows a bank to actually confirm and credit the funds?
 

Why is it easy to debit a customer, but so difficult to properly support them when it comes to refunds?
 

Is it not possible to escalate this to a Payments or Finance team that can provide the correct settlement reference?
 

At this point, I regret subscribing and I would not recommend this service based on my experience.
 

I am not asking for anything unreasonable. I am simply asking for the correct information needed for my bank to trace and confirm the refund.
 

I would appreciate a proper escalation and a real resolution instead of repeated generic responses.

You have to get ARN or trace numbers directly from Adobe.

This user-to-user community can’t help you with that.

 

Good luck.

I have reached out and they keep giving me the genreic response of “All informations have been sent in the refund letters”
At this point I am tired and I really regret subscribing to Adobe

Thank you for posting to this public discussion forum, Anointing.


I am sorry for any frustrations you have encountered with ending your subscriptions, and that you did not find more value in our services.


All refunds issued occur within 14 days. I see that you already have an active support case from today. Please use the steps listed at https://adobe.ly/4tO8Xy9 if you have any additional questions or concerns regarding your active support case ADB-45154073-L8V9.


For more information on the cancellation and refund process for monthly subscriptions, see https://adobe.ly/4tP6S4X.


I know this can be a frustrating situation, Anointing. It is not possible to expedite the refund process, but you can request any information that is available about your refund in your active support case. The information available will depend upon the financial institutions involved.


Please update this public discussion thread if you have any additional questions, Anointing. ^JW

Thank you for your response.
 

I would like to clarify that my concern is not about the refund timeline.
 

I have already received confirmation that the refunds were processed, along with the receipt and credit memo.
 

The issue is that my bank is unable to locate the funds because this is an international transaction, and they require a network-level trace reference (such as ARN/MIR/RRN or equivalent) to reconcile the refund.
 

The Order IDs and refund transaction IDs provided are not sufficient for bank-level tracing.
 

I already have an active support case (ADB-45154073-L8V9), but so far I have only received repeated confirmation that the refund was processed, without the required traceable reference.
 

Please can this case be escalated to the Payments/Finance team to retrieve the settlement trace reference needed by my bank?
 

This is the only information required to resolve the issue on the bank’s end.
 

Thank you.
