I tried countless times to cancel my subscription during the free trial period and could not. The <Removed by Moderator>verification page always failed. I tried several different browsers, PCs, and different days, and it was always the same. They were making it seem as if they were making the process impossible on purpose. Every time, I would start a chat to try and cancel the subscription, and they would bounce me from person to person until the chat eventually disconnected on its own in some way or another, or they would wait you out until you had to leave. When I made an email complaint after the fact about my frustrations, they extended me three months of free service; I never asked for that, and as I already detailed, I tried to cancel during the original free trial. Today when trying to cancel before the "three free months ended, they told me that I would be billed some ridiculous charge because I went past my free trial, and as per the terms and conditions, that meant that I agreed that if I canceled early that I would pay the fee. These are such unbelievably predatory and underhanded methods by Adobe. I told them that I still wanted to cancel and that I would dispute the charge with my credit card company if they tried to bill me a cancellation fee. They kept bouncing me around again until the chat magically disconnected with the third tier of person I was bounced to. I'm going to share this with as many places as I can; it's truly outrageous. Attached are the transcripts from some of the chats which I transferred to Word.

make sure you're aware of the cancellation terms by selecting your plan type (at the top of the page here), https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/creative-cloud-subscription-terms.html
for info on how to cancel your subscription, this page describes the few steps involved, https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html
if you want to cancel but are unable to follow the steps described in the "how to cancel page", 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:
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-com...

These options do not work, because it takes me to the same splash page that does not load, please just cancel my account, for gods sake.

no one can cancel your account for you. you have to do that yourself. instructions are in my previous message.

Hi Tahmeed,
As suggested by @Jeff A Wright please respond to the email sent by Adobe. We will not be able to cancel your account at our end , only support can.
Regards
Kanika

Have you managed to get this resolved? I've had pretty much the same experience (unable to cancel, 3 month offer which takes you out of cancellation period which is a shady tactic) and can't seem to speak to anyone directly either?

Thank you for that info.
I had seen this from your earlier response to the original query.
The chat feature so far has not connected despite waiting 30+ mins on 3 separate occasions.
I have had an email from
customercare-support@adobe.com... so you know if this is a legit source?
Thanks again
Joe

that address is an adobe address, but they won't respond if you're initiating contact. just make sure, if you're replying to a contact initiated by you, that you copy and paste that address into the to field. ie, don't click a link and expect the message to go to adobe.
and i don't know why you're having trouble with chat and i'm pretty sure you typed "agent" into the chat field and then started your wait, but just to make sure i'm mentioning it here.

Ok thank you, you have been a real help 👍
I'm going to try the chat again... I'm sure I typed "agent" but then again I might not have so I'll give that another shot
Cheers
