Adobe says that I have no plan, and yet I'm still being charged for a plan and I can't cancel it.

In February I signed up for the student plan for the entire Adobe Creative Suite. I was set to graduate in May but due to Covid I ended up deciding to stay for another semester. I just went to go start on some projects for the upcoming semester and my Creative Cloud says that I don't have a plan, and my account online says the same thing. However, I'm still being charged $21.59 by Adobe monthly. I can't cancel this fee because on my account it says I don't have a plan. I never cancelled the plan. Plus, I have no idea how long I've been being charged for this without having access to the programs since I haven't needed to use them since May. I can't contact support about this because it says that my school has an administrator who contacts Adobe for me but we absolutely do not have one of those. I was going to keep the subscription until I was completely done with school but now I would rather just get my money back and find an alternative because the fact that I'm unable to contact anyone about this is rediculous. Is there any way I can get into contact with someone to cancel this fee being charged to me? Thank you in advance.

For future reference, you need sign in as personal account, not school account. I signed up with .edu and automatically logged in using school account and saw nothing under plans.

I'm having the same exact problem right now, I'm on hold talking to customer service. I had to cancel my debit card because of this and I thought the problem was solved but now they're charging my NEW card. Apparently the bank is still linked and they're charing me for adobe STOCK $30, so it won't even show up in subscriptions in the adobe menu. I'm trying to get a refund.

I have been trying for about 500 years to cancel my monthly subscription. I finally was able to reach a live person on this number 800-915-9428. This was the FOURTH number I was given by a chat agent when all the other numbers either hung up on me, or only sent me to the same account page that says I do not have a plan. Do NOT accept the option to receive a text. Just click 1 for each menu option and then you finally reach a live person. I was FINALLY able to get my subscription cancelled. Good luck!

Hey, did you ever get this fixed? A friend of mine is having the same issue and adobe supports been dodging her for months. I'm convinced it's fraud from either an outside source or directly from adobe, but they're clammed up about it.

I can't open chat because it says I need to "contact my system administrator"
