I Want A Refund On Adobe Subscription

I never thought I would have to use a messaging board to try and connect with someone who can actually help me. Anyways back in October I subscribed to Adobes 7-day free trial to edit a document for a scholarship. The day of, I cancelled that subscription so I would not be charged. A couple months later I look at my billing history on my credit card and see I have been charged $19.99. Apparently I have been getting charged for the past few months AFTER I canceled my 7-day free trial. This is absurd and I want a refund of the times I've been billed AND my subscription cancelled without the cancellation fee. I am a college student and am barely scraping by. The last thing I need is hundreds of dollars from my bank account gone over a program I used once. I find it very slimy for this company to do this and not even send an email letting me know that I am being billed, I am very unhappy about this.

    If this has happened to you, don’t worry! Here’s what you can do next:

    1. Self-cancel via Adobe Account:

    • Go to Adobe Account.
    • Navigate to Plans > Manage Plan.
    • Select Cancel Plan and follow the prompts.

    2. Check Subscription Terms and Adobe's refund policy:

    • Adobe offers a 14-day full refund window from the beginning of the subscription trial.
    • After 14 days, the subscription continues until the end of the billing cycle, and refunds are not guaranteed.

    3. Check for Confirmation:

    • Always verify cancellation by checking your email or Adobe account for confirmation.

    Please I'm requesting for a refund. They deducted from my account for annual subscription but which is highly costly. I cancelled the subscription immediately I received the alert but wasn't refunded.

     

    Please help me.

     

    I'll be glad if Adobe see to this, please!

    p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam
