Three days after downloading Photoshop/Premiere, suddenly got stuck in trial mode

I downloaded and purchased photoshop and premiere on January 8. Yesterday I was logged off from Creative Cloud, had to change password then got stuck in trial mode ever since. In plans page:
https://account.adobe.com/plans 
I get the message "You have no plans"... However, I have bank statements that prove a purchase was made for monthly subscriptions. What happened and who can I contact?

if you're certain that you're using the correct adobe id (=email) to check your account, contact adobe support. 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:

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

below are solutions some users reported:

 

if those all fail, change your cc language. eg, try international english - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-trial-mode.html

 

if that fails, change the install location

Unfortuntately, this doesn't seem to be a windows issue. If I login on my adobe account, I am seeing no active plans. Subscription simply disappered (although software I downloaded AFTER i paid subscription)...

Looking backwards, I started subscription and downloaded software on January 6 (Saturday), used Photoshop and Premiere each day until January 9 then on January 10 subscription vanished (along with what I paid for).

Bank statements show that it started processing payments on 8 (Monday), but money were transfered on 10 (Wednesday). Maybe this is why I got into trial mode? Is there a financial department to settle the issue?
