Question

Still paying subscription

I cancelled my subscription before the 7 day trial finished. However, Adobe started to take payment. I rang through to the Help Centre and was assured that my cancellation was accepted and I would be refunded the money I was owed. Two months later, Adobe are still taking monthly payments. Clearly doing this through the help centre is not the answer. Suggestions please?

    Hello I've come back to the community because I really have no idea where else to go. I cancelled my subscription before the 7 day trial finished. However, Adobe started to take payment. I rang the Help Centre and was assured that my cancellation was accepted and I would be refunded the money I was owed. Two months later, Adobe were still taking monthly payments.

     

    I was helpfully sent to the account payment & plan thread where I was put in touch with an individual. They sent me one private mesaage but never responded again despite several attempts. And now I have been charged again! They know I am no longer subscribed because I am regularly sent an email from creative cloud asking me to reconsider and sign up to their subscription.

     

    So far Adobe have overcharged me by $500.

     

    Any ideas? Thanks D

    Dave, I am very sorry that you continue to encounter problems with your membership. I reviewed the account you used to post to these public discussions forums. Still, there continues to be no activity, including memberships assigned to the e-mail address you are using to post to this public discussion forum.

     

    As suggested by LinSims and Manan, your best option is to begin a secure chat session at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen while signed in under the account associated with the membership you are trying to take action on.  If you find the chat window is unavailable, then please use a different device.

     

    If you continue to encounter problems, please update this public forum discussion with a recent case number. In addition, you can use the process listed in https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/customer-support-portal.html to locate and update any recent support cases.

    Thanks,

    I have tried to have a "chat" but each time I am told there is no
    subscription linked to my email. I have tried logging in from other email
    addresses but still no joy.

    Do you have a case number from one of these interactions, Dave?

    Hi there,

     

    I dont see any subscription under the email ID that your are using with the forums. Are you using a different email address? 

    In case you have been charged please get in touch with support using the link shared above. 

     

    Thanks

    I am being charged £12.64 per month Acropro subs on the id <email removed>

    I am being charged a further £49.94 per month Creative Cloud. This is either with the ID <email removed> or  <email removed>

    In both cases I cancelled the trials within 7 days (probably less than that, maybe three days?)

    When I rang to complain that payments were being taken from my account they were stopped (June), but they started up again and were taken in July and August.

    I'm removing your email addresses as Adobe prefers that personally identifying information not be posted in public. Send @Kanikas a direct message with them. You can do that by clicking the little envelope at the top right.

    Hello @Dave C58,

    I am afraid this can only be resolved by the Adobe employees and they don't hang out on these forums quite often. You will have to try the chat option to move ahead. To contact support, login to your account and navigate to the URL below. Make sure that the browser has cookies enabled, and all script blockers are disabled.

    Thanks Manan,

    I don't have an account to log into! I cancelled my subscription before the
    7 days free trial was over.

    Cancellation does not delete your account. By account I mean the AdobeID on which you had used the trial of the application. It will have the purchase and cancellation history of all the transactions.
