Charged After Cancelling My Free Trial – Refund Request

I cancelled my Adobe Illustrator free trial before the trial period ended, and I even received a cancellation confirmation email (screenshot attached). However, despite this cancellation, my account was charged on 4 September.

 

Could you please help me resolve this issue and get a refund?

I have proof of the cancellation email, so I believe this payment was made in error.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

 

Best regards,

Hi ertu?rul_m._1083,

Thank you for reaching out.

I’ve reviewed your account and can confirm that you currently have an active subscription to Adobe Illustrator, which is why you’ve been charged. It looks like you successfully cancelled the trial for Adobe Stock, but the Illustrator plan remains active.

If you no longer wish to continue with the Illustrator plan, you can cancel it at any time via your Adobe account. Please note that if you're cancelling before the end of your annual commitment, an early termination fee (ETF) may apply.

For more details, you can refer to this article: https://adobe.ly/3HHOcS8

Let me know if you need help with the cancellation process or have any other questions.

Best regards,
Shivangi

if you cancelled witin the cancellation period, refunds require up to 14 days.

 

make sure you're aware of the cancellation terms by selecting your plan type (at the top of the page here), https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/creative-cloud-subscription-terms.html

Was this an Illustrator single-app trial? Your screenshot only mentions Adobe Stock, which is a separate license.

In your initial post you stated that you cancelled your Adobe Illustrator free trial?
