Does anyone know why when I try to contact support with chat the question does not send/the start chat button is broken?

This topic has been closed for replies.

Well bottom line is that they are ending Business Catalyst and Muse so we might as well just let it go.

What the HECK is happening with you LIVE CHAT, ADOBE?????? I have been trying to reach a live person for hours. I have tried different browsers, disabled ad blockers, enabled pop-ups, but no luck. I keep being charged for a subscription I didn't subscribe to. THIS SUCKS. This is being done on purpose, so that we keep paying you more and more!!!

Hi there,

Happy to help!

We have checked your account and we see that you do not have any active subscription that needs to be cancelled under the email address associated with the community.

Please log in to the Adobe account and you should be able to see all the active plans.

https://account.adobe.com/

For future reference, please follow the link below which has the steps on how to cancel a subscription.

Since, this is a community forum, we are happy to share the link that can help you to connect with the Adobe Customer support via chat.

If you are not able to get to the chat window, then disable your adblockers, firewall, enable cookies/scripts on your browser. If it still fails then change your browser/machine/network.

Please do not share any personal/confidential information like email ID, bank details, etc here. This is a public forum.

Hope the information was helpful to you. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Sincerely,

Rashmi Swain

I am so fed up with trying to reach the support to get my money back that was charged for the 2nd time, even though there are no active subsciption. THIS SUCKS.

I have tried different browsers and devices, with disabled adblockers and enabled cookies/scripts. Why the heck make it so complicated to access a live chat, I haven't seen anything like this anywhere else!!!

the browser used is the most important factor.

there are 3 ways to contact adobe; chat, phone 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.

phone:
https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

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

I have the same issue, customer service is absolutely ridiculous. A list that NEVER reflects the screw ups and no way to get to chat to actually get help. Can we just contact someone to FIX these screw ups with the jerk arounds! For what we are paying that option should be available.! Please tell me exactly what I am paying for again!

Same issue here, crazy that such a company

A: Has a chat function that is so broken.
B: Doesn't allow you to make some basic changes to your account without having to try and talk to a support person.

The fact that this is ongoing for 3-4 years speaks volumes about how Adobe feels about its customers.

So... 3 years later, and here I ended up on this thread searching for the exact same reason, and exact same problem. Still. Three years later.

I have a credit card that had to be changed. Thus, payment failed. I can't update the credit card info with the new info because the account page button to save those changes Does. Not. Work.

No telephone number to be found, of course, to call about this.

Chat is presented as the ONLY option to get actual help from an ACTUAL human being.

Chat? DOES. NOT. WORK.

And yes. I've tried all of this from multiple browsers. No dice.

It's 2017. How am I supposed to update the payment info if I can't use the account manager, and can't GET HELP to update it???

Very frustrated here.

I wanted to add (since the "Actions" in the lower left corner ALSO doesn't work) -- that I see the problem was still existent in 2016, so please strike my initial "three years later" from the prior post, as I stand corrected that it was still a recent issue in 2016.

Either way. I can't update my payment info to pay the monthly sub, and I can't GET HELP to update it, either, so basically I'm up a creek without a paddle here and extremely frustrated with the entire website AND this whole mess.

This is why most companies have TELEPHONE numbers for billing help.

Sigh.

And, update. I finally managed to find a phone number. After multiple Google searches. (Hint : I should NOT have to go crawling all over the web to find a phone number.)

So. No need to respond to my prior posts. But you need to either give us a phone number in a readily accessible location to deal with these sorts of problems, or else your company needs to actually FIX their chat help. As it stands right now, the option displays that chat help is your only option, but there is nothing to click on. No link, no way to load it, nothing. You might as well post a sign on our account that says "So sorry, we can't be bothered to actually talk to the people we expect to give us money."

My case is closed because I dug through the web for a TELEPHONE number. Please fix your website so that the Contact/Help options actually can be USED. I am extremely annoyed. This is very unprofessional, and there is absolutely NO excuse for it.

Thank you. Hopefully I don't ever need actual HELP with anything from Adobe again.

Just wait for some 5-10 minutes and chat will start to work

Same here. Chat is listed as the only way to get support from Adobe, yet it is completely non-functional. And this topic has had repeated users complaining about this for 3 years? Adobe, are you serious about this? My agency just signed me up for a "VIP" program creative cloud license. Yet the support I need has to do with how I enter a serial number purchased from a third party to get access to the programs.....and I can't access you because my only means of support is diabled or dysfunctional for the last 3 years.

Is this a sad comedy or what???! How did others get this working, or did they just give up on every being supported by Adobe?

I'm sitting here waiting, immensley unimpressed that chat seems to be available for any option except when I select " cancel a plan ". Conspiracy theories aside, its not the first time I've had " difficulties , getting through to Adobe when I'm about to give them less money.

I think your products rock. I really do. I will be going back to CC - but set up for my current location.

Your customer experience, however, is a disgrace.

Platitudes and community managers are not the way to resolve these issues.

Hi Ben, would you mind sharing the URL and the approximate time you tried the Chat option? Additionally, were you able to click on the Chat button, fill in the issue summary, and then waited for an agent? Or, was the Chat button itself not available?
