I am not interested in a subscription with Adobe I cancelled it and it is asking for fees which I can't afford to pay

Where can I go to cancel the subscription for Adobe I didn't sign up for it

    Thank you for posting, ​@Vibrant_member844f.

     

    I am sorry for the frustration and concern this situation has caused. I can understand how upsetting it would be to believe you had canceled your subscriptions, only to keep receiving payment requests and to be uncertain about what is still active.

     

    I reviewed the account and found that two separate subscriptions were purchased on September 26. The Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant Plus subscription has already been canceled. However, the Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription remains active and is currently past due.

     

    Because the Acrobat Pro subscription is past due, the payment issue must be resolved before any changes can be made to the subscription, including canceling the current commitment.

     

    Please review and update your payment information, then try canceling the Acrobat Pro subscription again:

    SOLUTION TO CANCEL WITHOUT PAYING THE YEARLY FEE PENALTY: In “manage account” change your plan to any other plan (it doesn’t matter which but good to choose the cheapest one available just in case). The window to cancel the plan for free (14 days) is reset as this change of plan is treated as a new subscription/contract agreement, and you can just immediately cancel the new plan for free. You will even get money back from what was already charged from your previous subscription.

     Hi ​@defaultn1t02op1yddk ,

    We just want to add an important clarification for anyone who may come across this post.

    While Adobe allows eligible customers to change their plans, the official documentation does not indicate that changing a plan resets the 14-day cancellation/refund period. Adobe's cancellation terms refer to 14 days from the initial purchase, and cancellation charges may apply after that period depending on the type of subscription.

    Additionally, when a plan is changed, Adobe states that the previous plan is cancelled and a refund may be provided where applicable, rather than guaranteeing a refund of previous payments.
    For this reason, we wouldn't recommend using a plan change as a method to avoid an applicable cancellation fee.

    Please refer to these articles for clarity:

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

    Let us know if you have any additional questions.

    If you used a trial and didn’t cancel in time, it would have automatically become a subscription.

    If properly cancelled, refunds are issued within 14 days.

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

    If they are asking for fees, I suspect the person went beyond the allowed cancelation timeframe. Now they are being asked to pay 50% of the remaining balance. 

    Perhaps Vibrant can clarify.
