    Thread summary

    A user was charged after cancelling a free trial on June 4 and receiving an email confirmation. The user asked for an immediate refund and said the charge came from an auto-renewal rather than a new subscription they chose to start. The user also said no email had arrived about a new subscription, and asked for the account to be deleted.

    Suggestions shared by other participants

    • Jeff_A_Wright (Community Manager): Confirmed that the original trial subscription had been cancelled, and explained that a new subscription started on June 12, which was the source of the charge.
    • Manan Joshi: Advised that refunds are automatic and can take up to 14 days to process after a successful cancellation. This was pointed to Adobe’s month-to-month plan terms.

    Suggested solutions by Adobe

    1. Check which plans are active. Sign in to your Adobe account, open Plans, and confirm whether any plan other than your cancelled trial is still active. Each plan has to be cancelled separately, and you should receive a confirmation email for each one. Cancel your Adobe trial or subscription
    2. Cancel the newer subscription and check refund eligibility. For most plans, cancelling within 14 days of the initial purchase gives you a full refund. As Manan Joshi noted, the refund is processed automatically, so allow up to 14 days for it to reach your account. Understand Adobe’s subscription terms and refund policies
    3. Identify the charge. Use the Adobe Charge Finder and enter your payment details exactly as they appear on your bank or card statement. New transactions can take up to 48 hours to appear in the system. Identify your Adobe charge

    Hello, I have been trying to post a similar comment to the one above, as I am currently experiencing the same issue, however, it is not letting me.

    I have just been charged £29.96 even though I cancelled my subscription before my free trial ended. I started the free trial on October 1st and cancelled it on October 1st and have an email confirmation of this cancellation. Please can this amount be refunded immediately as I cancelled the subscription during the free trial so I should not have been charged.

    Thanks for posting to this public discussion forum, ​@Darren Sealy.

     

    I am sorry for any confusion you have encountered in managing your subscriptions.

     

    I can confirm that you did cancel your previous subscription, but you then started a new subscription on June 12th, which is the charge that you incurred.

     

    Please see https://helpx.adobe.com/account/individual/subscriptions-and-plans/renewals-and-cancellations/cancel-adobe-subscription.html for information on how to cancel your new subscription.

     

    As suggested by ​@Manan Joshi, refunds are automatic and will take up to 14 days. Please see https://helpx.adobe.com/account/individual/terms-policies-and-regulations/adobe-subscription-terms.html#month-to-month for more information.

     

    Please update this discussion thread if you have any additional questions, ​@Darren Sealy.

    Ok thank you but I did not choose to start a new subscription this was an auto renewal which is quite misleading and I should not have to pay for this as I cancelled my trial and received that email, however I did not receive an email about this supposed new subscription. Can you have this payment refunded asap please and my account deleted in full from Adobe

    there shouldn’t be an auto-renewal AFTER you cancelled.  could something else have occurred?

    Refunds are automatically processed. You have to wait for it to process once the cancellation is done successfully.

    Refunds are automatic and take around 2 weeks to reflect back in the account
