Question

To the staff of Adobe, since this is your new contact form

Dear madam and sir at Adobe,

We presented a valid student ID. But we are shocked to find that you have been charging us the full price for many months. We expect a refund for what you have overcharged. It is the subscription of our 12year-old son who makes stop motion comics in his spare time AND hardly uses the software. He is the only person who uses the software. Please wire the full refund ASAP. And answer this, please: WHY DO I HAVE TO DISCUSS THIS IN PUBLIC?!?! It is outrageous and unprofessional and truly shocking that you do not to provide contact forms and that you - persistently! - reroute me to a public forum for a personal payment question when your help desk is constantly closed. I - am - so - angry

Regards

1. Only a parent or guardian can legally order for an under age child.  12 is not old enough to consent to subscription terms.  As the adult, it's your responsibility to check your credit card bills every month or review your online statements 24/7 to ensure you're being charged the correct amount.

2. The introductory 60% student discount rate is contingent upon you meeting the student eligibility requirements.  If student status was never verified, or the subscription lapsed for lack of payment, that might explain why you didn't get the discount.  

 

3. Adobe does not conduct business by email.  Secure online chat is available in English 24/7.  Log-in to your account with a good desktop browser like Chrome or Firefox that accepts cookies and doesn't have script blockers.

3. Failing that, pick up the phone M-F during normal business hours in your region.

Hope that helps.

I have done that approximately a dozen times from different tabs/topics and keep getting rerouted. For households with people who work during the week I fully expect to be provided with a contact form that I can send off even in non-business hours. It is nauseating chuzpah on your part to block me out and reroute me because it is a Sunday.
