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.

    Hello, I also have this exact problem word for word. I do not want to pay for a service I only used once for a college application. Please give me my refund. I do not want you to explain the 14 days refund from initial subscription because like some other people here, we are charged after cancelling or forgot to cancel it — and we barely use the service!

     

    I have cancelled my plan but I still have to pay the few months I didn't even use the app.

    Hello! I have been a user for a while but not actively utilizing subscription and intended to cancel before this cycle—the renewal was forgotten and my account is overdrafted. I got a successful cancellation just now but it would be immensely helpful to also receive a refund. Please let me know if this is possible—I have been a customer for a while, it is just no longer viable for me at this time. Thank you for considering.

    So I only need to hit the cancel section right? because I dont see any refund function to process. The refund is automatically processed if I cancel the plan within 14 days, isnt it?

    Nobody on this forum, not even Adobe employees, can do that.

    You will have to contact Adobe support via chat or social media.

    Hi ​@user1992,

    I confirm that a refund has been issued by Adobe yesterday after you cancelled your plan. It usually takes 12-14 days for the refund to process.

    Let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Hi I signed up for a trial service and was automatically billed the past 2-3 months for two services in which I had cancelled. I’m requesting a refund as it was extremely difficult to verify the cancellation and the services were not used at all

    check your account, https://account.adobe.com

     

    does it show any subscriptions (eg, ai for acrobat)?

     

    and what type of subscription(s) (monthly, annual paid monthly etc) did you have?

    Hi,

    I signed up for a 1 month -subscription and after I accidentally made the payment for the Adobe Express preset by mistake. I kindly request a refund if possible. I can provide the payment receipt. a free trial and instead lost money I cannot afford to lose. I am requesting a full refund immediately, I am disabled and really need the money back I have not used adobe even during the trial so may I please get my money back. Please do not ignore this.Thank you
