Question

Unapproved renewal and no answer from Adobe Live Chat

This is outrageous! I have been going through my accounts for the year with my partner and found that my Adobe Creative Cloud was renewed without my consent on 25/01/2019. I understood last year when I made the original purchase that the product was charged on a monthly basis for a year without the ability to cancel without being charged, which I was happy with despite not using the product for the past 6 months. However now when I try to cancel this product I am told I would have to pay a £54.89 cancellation fee, despite never approving a renewal! This is completely unethical and borderline criminal. My attempts to resolve this have led to me waiting on Live Chat for an hour and a half with no response:

How this is a fair approach to business I do not know. I must admit prior to this experience I never would have thought that Adobe was open to this kind of behaviour and I will be raising a complaint - IF I CAN GET THROUGH TO ANYONE!!

From reading other posts I have seen that on rare occassions staff may at least read the posts made here - If I am fortunate enough to get a response here I would like the following:

1) An immediate cancellation of my creative cloud subscription

2) The removal of my card details from your database

3) The deletion of my account

4) A refund of £9.98 for the unapproved monthly payment taken from my account on 25/01/2019

After settling this dispute I will never be using any Adobe product again - Having used many of your products over the past several years I cannot trust a company that treats its customers with such a level of distain.

Did your terms and conditions say it would stop after a year? That would be unusual. Mind clearly stated it would auto renew. So no approval wiuld be needed for Mine.

what an a**..
NORMAL "non knee deep tech people" PEOPLE.. do not assume auto-renewal NOR do they read the too many pages of the contract. They assume they'd have to elect to renew..since that's how the world works outside of software corporate bean counting minds.
..
'get a grip and be nicer to people. ..AKA: You completely ignored his/her points... it's almost like you're an Apple forum person... you know, mental and unable to think properly.

Also, think about this.. "Jive Help" .. it is "Jive" .. Adobe has been JIVE since SAAS started.
