There is a $31.49 charge on my credit card, but I don't remember purchasing any Adobe products and my account page does not list me as having any regular payments. I would like to not incur this charge. Please help.

If you're certain nobody in your household ordered a Creative Cloud product or service, contact your bank immediately.  Your card may have been compromised without your knowledge.  Adobe cannot help you because they are victims, too.  The bank will ask you to sign some legal papers to file a fraud complaint before cancelling your current card and sending you a new one.

As Above! 

 

If "YOU" did not subscribe to or for a one time fee buy any Adobe product and no one else in your household uses your credit card then you need to take this up with your bank and or credit card company.

 

Someone has stolen your CC number and used it to subscribe to something from Adobe. This is not an Adobe problem. This is a problem with your CC number being used without your knowledge or authorization.

 

Best of luck to you.

Actually it may well be an adobe problem- I am a longtime subscriber to creative cloud and in January, for reasons unknown, Adobe began billing me for a 2nd account.  It took me a couple months to notice it but when i called,they found the problem and rectified it immediately.  They refunded every cent of the second account without a fight, which leads me to believe I'm not the only one this happemed to.    

 

My case is different than the OP's but it shows that Adobe does make 'mistakes'.   Its nice that the didnt try to screw me, after they tried scrtew me, though.
