This account belongs to Meir, 78 years old, whom 2 years ago pressed the "free trial" button on adobe pro. Sure, it's his own responsibility for pressing it, but then he never used the product as he is unable to actually understand the basics of using a computer.

This is his son.
A year ago I helped my dad, contacted adobe support about the issue, getting no help which made us cancel the plan with paying the cancellation charge, just to finish this. This is still kind of our responsibillity as we did buy the plan, but I would have hoped for understanding.
But, even though we finished the support call, allegedly cancelling the plan and paying the fee, the plan apparently never stopped, and was auto renewed.
I spoke with support today, only to get abruptly shut out of the converstaion by the support.
My dad can't read emails and can't use the account, we just want to finish this, and get a refund for the time the subscribtion was active even after we cancelled it + a refund for the cancellation fee we payed.
Outragious honestly.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

contact adobe support as the plan owner.  ie, you'll need to sign in with the subscription holder adobe id and have payment information.

 

make sure you're aware of the cancellation terms by selecting your plan type (at the top of the page here), https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/creative-cloud-subscription-terms.html

for info on how to cancel your subscription, this page describes the few steps involved, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html

if you want to cancel but are unable to follow the steps described in the "how to cancel page", contact adobe support.

there are 2 ways to contact adobe; chat and twitter (now x):

chat:
use a browser that allows popups and cookies, and click here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human.

twitter/x:
tweet @AdobeCare

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.

Live update - The second support came to chat just to ask for a moment to go through everything, and then left chat.
Third time is the charm? idk
