Cancelled subscription is still charged and somehow reactivated without consent

Dear Adobe,

You indicated that my subscription was cancelled on 8/16/2018 yet I am still being billed in September and the subscription is still running when i logged into the account. Please explain what the hell is happening here? I want my subscription cancelled and I don’t want to be charged for a subscription that I am no longer using for more than 1 year! This is the 2nd time your guys have told me that they have assisted to cancel my subscription yet money is still being deducted from my account. Do i have to change my credit card just so you guys cannot charge me anymore? I am really enraged about this.

Please solve this issue. I’ve been paying hundreds of dollars for a subscription that was supposedly already cancelled and I don’t want to continue paying for a cancelled subscription!

Regards,

Zawiyah

I have had this issue twice now! They waited a year to start charging me again and I never got an email so it has been about 8 months. Originally, I was able to get a partial refund. Now, the chat help assistant is saying there's no record of those charges or the case I had opened. Once he got my account info (incl some of my card number to "locate the issue") he cut the chat. I hopped right back on with another agent who will hopefully be able to help me. I just gave him the same info so if he cuts the chat like the ohter guy then I am going to FLIP and see what action I can take, incl report fraud. 

 

Unbelievably unethical.

 

Adobe is a great service but this is a S. C. A. M. I will find literally any other alternative than deal with Adobe again.

@Alison29628043ropb 

 

before you do that, contact adobe support so you can get the erroneous charges rescinded.  there are 2 ways to contact adobe; chat and twitter:

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:
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. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam, https://community.adobe.com/t5/using-the-community-discussions/staying-safe-in-the-adobe-support-community/td-p/12919684/redirect_from_archived_page/true

Oh I apologize, the other reply I left was to myself, hadn't seen your response!

 

I am on the official Adobe virtual assistant. Two agents have closed the chat after I gave them the account info they needed to get more info on the charges and waited 10+ mins each time for them to get back to me. I am on with a third person now who so far has been much more helpful.

 

They were able to offer me a "good will" refund for 3 mo out of the TEN MONTHS of charges. Not ideal but its at least some sort of result. 

 

After my issue is resolved i am removing all banking connections from my Adobe account. I am taking NO more chances.
