Question

Adobe's lack of customer service.

I have zero avenue to complain about this issue so I'm posting here as the only way for me to have any input at all.  Although now I think I may write an old fashioned snail mail letter as well.  In any case here's my story.

 

I have Stage IV rectal cancer and have been in and out of the hospital and undergoing chemo multiple times.  As a result some of life's more minor issues that I should have kept abreast of fell through the proverbial cracks.  The good news is that after 2 years of treatment I am cancer free and considered to be in remission.

 

My issue with Adobe surrounds a subscription that I found I've been paying for the last 2 years.  I'm certain there was some paperwork I filled out that had a PDF that pushed me over to some trial agreement that turned into a fulltime subscription but the fact is Adobe charged me over $500 in total over the last two years when I only used the product once and I have zero method for contacting Adobe customer support because they make it virtually impossible to complain.

 

I will never again pay for an Adobe service or software, but for sure I will spend the rest of my life sharing my experience with as many folks as I can and encourage people to use alternatives to Adobe products whenever possible.

 

Shame on you Adobe.  Shame.

For anyone else reading this
Please read everything so you know what you are doing BEFORE you buy a subscription... the link below has the information you need
.
If you buy a HIGHER COST Monthly subscription you may cancel at any time without a fee... when you buy an Annual subscription with Monthly payments, and you do not cancel in NO MORE than 14 days from the start of your subscription, you pay 1/2 of the remaining time if you cancel early... you also need to keep track of your annual renewal date, so you may cancel after your 12th payment, before your subscription renews and you start a new one year subscription
