Can’t cancel free trial

I had a 7-day free trial of Photoshop in my personal Adobe account, and am being given the option to extend it another week or cancel it. When I try to do either, be it in my laptop or phone web browsers, I get an error message that pops up in red and says, “an error occurred. Please try again”. So now I’m going to be charged for a year of Adobe against my will because it won’t let me cancel. I would’ve liked another week on my trial but it gives the same error for that too. 
 

I’ve tried using a different browser, incognito mode, clearing cache, and nothing works. I’ve been asking and trying all day and I don’t want to be charged

    use a mobile phone’s update (non-opera) browser with wifi disabled

     

    if that fails and you subscribed via a mobile app store, contact the app store.

     

    if it fails and you subscribed via adobe.com, use the adobe chat to reach an agent.

    Had someone chat with me and cancel it- thank you! Made it just in time
     

    The fact that I was unable to cancel it on my own despite trying multiple times on different browsers and devices is absolutely insane. I’m so glad I’m cutting the Adobe cord- their programs are great but are not worth the subscription model, compulsory Creative Cloud bloatware, and hassle just to cancel a free trial. Thank goodness there are loads of one-time payment animation programs available. Ugh, I’m so glad to be rid of this Adobe albatross around my neck

    you’re welcome, but sorry you had a bad experience, but from my perspective all free trials should be checked carefully.  i’ve found some are easier (than adobe) to cancel but not all.  and some (like my cable company come-ons) i’m just too suspicious to try.
