I received a two month free for Premier Pro CC coupon with a Seagate drive I bought. So I signed up. Just short of two months I canceled it. Now I am billed $99. Just got of a chat with support and they said they would escalate the case but no refund yet. Are you kidding me? What an I missing? Help please. I'm about ready to go file a small claims case tomorrow. Just disappointed in Adobe right now.

If this is the wrong section someone please direct me to the correct place

So just an update for anyone interested. I received an email yesterday saying the case has been closed and a refund will be issued in 3 to 5 days. So 5 business days to decide to give me back money i never agreed to give them. While I'm glade this is resolved, we now live in a world of one click shopping and if a retailer makes a mistake it takes two departments and 5 days to refund the money. I see this trend all over with e commerce. Many on line retailers and removed the "cancel order" from the shopping cart as they realize people compare prices. So this is not just about Adobe. So buyer beware. As far as the Adobe CC, I wish I had the net profits to afford it but it just doesn't make good business sense right now. Maybe as my business grows.    


Hello Patrick,

I also share - in general - Ned's rule to first ask Contact Customer Care and if "open" I had the best experiences by using chat. BUT because of your vain attempts I decided to advise you to ask one of these helpful Adobe staff members. In Germany it usually goes this way: go to the smith, and not to the little smith.

I am having the exact same issue, this is absurd. I downloaded a free trial of premier months ago, then just checked my bank statements and I noticed $29 being taken out of my account each month from adobe. They had just automatically put me on a paid plan without me ever asking for it or without ever telling me. I did not want a paid plan?? I just downloaded a free trial!!
I went to cancel the paid plan and it said i would have to pay an additional $59 to cancel it because I would be 'terminating the plan early'.

There is now over $200 that has been taken out of my account. I have never even used premier after that one night I downloaded the free trial.
I have tried speaking with the chat support bots but they are not helping. Could someone please help me here?

>without me ever asking for it or without ever telling me

 

When you give your credit card number to any company that means you will be charged if you do not cancel in time
