Impossible to cancel my account

I find this an absolute stain on Adobe. 
 

never have I come across a company that makes it impossible to cancel a subscription, I have recently run into a crisis and can’t afford the subscription, yet Adobe makes it impossible to cancel. 
 

im reporting them to the ACCC.

 

this is so so wrong.

    Hi @sincere_socialite1900,

    We understand that you’d like to cancel your subscription. After checking your account, we can see that your Creative Cloud Pro subscription is currently in a past-due status due to an outstanding payment.

    Once the outstanding payment is resolved, you should be able to proceed with the cancellation.

    You can follow the cancellation steps here: Cancel Adobe trial or subscription. [https://he...ption.html]

    You can also review the cancellation terms for your plan here: Cancellation details for common Adobe plans.

    We hope this helps clarify the next steps. Please feel free to reach out to us here in the community if you need any further assistance.

    I just cancelled my card with my bank and got a new card - that was the only way around it. 
     

    Adobe should not be allowed to operate the way that they do.

    Click on Manage Plan for more options. 

    NOTE: You must have an active payment card on file to cancel. 

    Early termination fees may apply.  See screenshot below.
