Charged after canceling trial - no active subscription showing

Hi everyone,

I’m a bit confused with my situation and hoping someone here might have gone through something similar.

I signed up for a free trial recently and canceled it before the trial period ended (at least I’m pretty sure I did it on time). However, I’ve now been charged, and when I check my Adobe account, I don’t see any active subscription listed.

What makes it more confusing is that there’s nothing in my billing history that clearly explains this charge. It just appears on my bank statement.

Has anyone experienced something like this? Is it possible that the subscription is tied to a different account or email, or maybe processed through a third party like Apple/Google?

Any advice on what to check next or how to resolve this would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance

    I’ve seen a couple of situations where the subscription was still tied to an older Adobe account or an email used years ago, so nothing appeared under the current login even though the bank charge was real.

    This Adobe page about finding the correct account might help narrow it down:

    Also worth checking whether the payment was processed through Apple, Google Play, or PayPal since those sometimes don’t immediately show up in the regular Adobe billing section
