Lost Access to Adobe Account but Still Being Charged, no recovery options

Hey all, 

I need help canceling my subscription because I’ve lost access to the email account associated with my Adobe account. The email address was created to test out the free trial, and I forgot the password. Unfortunately, I didn’t set up phone or email recovery options for the Gmail account, so I can’t recover it and log in to manage the subscription. However i have access to the paypal account to which I charged it to, however I was logged out of creative cloud before I could cancel.

 

Here are the transaction details for verification purposes:

  • Seller Name: Adobe Systems Pty Ltd
  • Payment Method: Debit Card (last four digits: ****)
  • Amount Charged: $43.97 AUD
  • Date of Charge: 11 December 2024
  • Transaction ID: 2G94***********
  • Invoice ID: BL29*********

Please assist me in canceling my subscription to prevent further charges. I am happy to provide any additional details required to verify my ownership of the account.

 

Thank you for your help!

I have experienced a similar issue. My bank account is still charged even though my plan has been inactive for 2-3 months at least. I can't contact anybody to solve this issue (I would have to start another pro plan), the Virtual assistant is not helpful at all. Please contact me on my e-mail or here. Thank you in advance!
