Mrs H: Yes, give me the name of the person who will contact me

Mrs H: You don't have automated email for that... That's a pretty big fail...

Mrs H: At least give me the name of the relevant department...

S: Its the higher level.

Mrs H: HIGHER LEVEL? Sounds like something out of Monty Python...

S: Mrs H,  I understand your concern, however the relevant department is the next higher level of support once we forward this complaint they will work on the case and get back to you with the resolution.

Mrs H: How do I know this?

S: You will  be able to locate the case number under your Adobe account , once we end the chat.

Mrs H: Please give me a name

Mrs H: Or another contact email

S: I am sorry we do not have email facility.

Mrs H: So I am just expected to wait around 'cause you say you'll get back to me.

S: The senior level representative will contact you via email with the resolution.

Mrs H: Please can you direct me to your complaints dept.

S: The senior level is the offline support.

S: We will only be able to forward this complaint to see what best can be done for you.

Mrs H: OK. Just so you're clear. My complaint is not with you. It's with Adobe's overall inertia and unresponsiveness.

S: I will now forward this complaint to the relevant department.

Mrs H: Please do. And good luck, S.

S: Is there anything else I can help you with?

Mrs H: Not today.

S: Thank you for contacting Adobe.  We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!

This forum is regularly checked by Adobe staff, so there is a good chance that someone may look into this.  But most likely after the weekend is over in the US.

I'm having a really similar issue. Why are they so difficult to contact? I am just trying to discuss a case with them which would lead to probably thousands of pounds worth of business for them, and I can't get anyone to speak to me about it! I've tried email, online chat, even PMing a staff member via the forums - they either ignore it or miss the point, and NOW my emails are bouncing back from the address adobecustomerservice@adobe.com. The online rep today said the reason for this was that I was sending the emails from an IE browser - even though they had been fine from that browser before! Words are startignt o fail me, frankly...
