How can I cancel my new subscription?

Hello,

About 12–13 days ago, I started a 7-day free trial of an Adobe plan (“Annual plan, paid monthly”). Unfortunately, I forgot to cancel the trial before it ended. After the trial expired, Adobe tried to charge my account, but the payment did not go through because there were not enough funds.

I was unaware that a charge would be made automatically after the free trial ended. Right now, I’m unable to cancel the plan from my account settings because it says I need an active subscription — but I would like to avoid the payment being processed or the subscription being activated.

I also haven’t used any Adobe products or services since the free trial ended. Could you please help me cancel this plan and make sure no charges are made to my account?
I understand there might be a cancellation fee for annual plans, but I would really like to avoid that if possible. I also understand there is a 14-day refund policy, so if the payment has already gone through, I would appreciate your help in getting a refund.

Thank you very much for your help and understanding.

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 

 

for info on how to cancel your subscription, this page describes the few steps involved, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html

 

if you want to cancel but are unable to follow the steps described in the "how to cancel page", you probably have a payment error that you need to repair before cancellation is allowed, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/kb/fix-failed-missed-payment.html

​@gupta shivangi Hello I have a similar situation. I need help canceling my subscription for Order #AE06620800632CZA under my account (<Removed by Moderator>).

​My 7-day free trial ended, but the payment failed due to insufficient funds in my account. I was unaware the subscription would convert automatically, and I haven't used any Adobe services since the trial ended. please assist

​I don't have funds to pay for the plan or any cancellation fees. Could you please cancel this plan manually from your end and clear any outstanding billing attempts on my account?

Hello,

Today I received an email about my failed payment to adobe, I started a free trial of an Adobe plan (“Annual plan, paid monthly”) and it ended yesterday. Unfortunately, I forgot to cancel the trial before it ended. After the trial expired, Adobe tried to charge my account, but the payment did not go through because there were not enough funds on my Gcash.

I was unaware that a charge would be made automatically after the free trial ended. Right now, I’m unable to cancel the plan from my account settings because it says I need an active subscription — but I would like to avoid the payment being processed or the subscription being activated.

I also haven’t used any Adobe products or services since the free trial ended. Could you please help me cancel this plan and make sure no charges are made to my account?

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

Hi, I also forgot to cancel my 7-day free trial of an Adobe plan. I paid for two months your subscription. I don’t need any more this software. Can you please cancel my further subscription. 

Thank you very much for your help.

If properly cancelled, refunds are issued within 14 days.

 

See here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/creative-cloud-subscription-terms.html

and here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html

 

You need to have a valid form of payment before you can cancel a subscription and get a refund.

Hi @marek_7344,

We appreciate you reaching out. Adobe offers full refund if the subscription is cancelled within first 14 days(including trial). I can confirm that you have already cancelled your plan. 

Let me know if you have any questions.
