Forgot to cancel during the trial

[Yingying35387877kzbw]

Hi team, I have been charged for 2 months service fee after the trial, i subscribed the trial in the beginning of Jan and forgot to cancel it, and i literally haven't been using it as you can see that i didn't even log into the account. Today when i tried to cancel the subscription, i was told that not only there's no refund, but also i will be charged for an early cancellation fee of CAD $129.95! And it's the first time i realized it's a yearly plan that charged by month, clearly their terms were not clear enough and no warning about the cancellation fee. It's like robbing money from your pocket, this is hard to accept, and i found nowhere custormer support that i can make a call or send an email to, what kind of company Adobe is??? Really astonished and disappointed.

When you 'click to agree' to the subscription terms while buying a subscription, that means that you really do need to read BEFORE you enter your credit card number to buy a subscription
-LONG discussion here, with link to Nancy O'Shea 'arrows' in subscription information
-And difference between actual Monthly and Annual paid Monthly

Thanks for your reply, the link is helpful with live chat, and the representative is patient, though he couldn't cancel the subscription for me, he tried to help me lower the bill and explained clearly about the terms. When i first subscribed for the free trial, the terms were not clear enough and hard to notice about the "tricks" - the annual commitment and the early cancellation fee etc. I found out many others encounter the same situation, it's just a shame for a big company to make money out of this.

It is a big problem... and undermines company reputation. If not made clearer and easier to cancel, I suggest publicizing the problem.

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 2 ways to contact adobe; chat and twitter (now x):

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.

twitter/x:
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.

Adobe doesn't monitor whether you used the software.

Use the link provided by John T Smith and plead your case.  They are usually receptive to polite requests.

Thank you, yes it's helpful.
