My payment is not being authorized by Adobe

Hello!

I am unable to subscrube for Adobe's products because my payment is not being accepted by Adobe.

There is only one method to pay in my country (Bulgaria) and it is through credit or debit card.

I tried more than 10 times now, using different cards with even different Banks but every time I get the same error:

"Incorrect billing info

We are unable to approve your transaction at this time.

There are a number of reasons for order failure, among them errors in the payment information, or billing address, or an inaccurate email address. If you have verified your information and are still unable to place your order, please contact Customer Service and order by phone. Call +44 203 0277 764."

I even tried the credit card my brother uses to pay his membership without any problems every month (I really hope I would bot jynx it not I have written it) and I got the same result. I have tried to make a payment on May, 1st, 4th, 8th and today - June 4th without success. I checked my payment details and I can see that the payment is being registered at my bank but the sum is not authorized (confirmed) on Adobe's end. Also, I have spoken with different operators in Adobe's chat support platform, explaining what the problem is. I've been redirected from Department to Department without any resolvement being offered.

I also checked with my local distrubotrs but was told that they are not offering the subscription I want to make.

I would very much like to buy a subscription for InDesign, so please someone help me!

    Well, this is primarily a user-to-user Forum – so we here don't really have the power to help you, other than to say to make sure and confirm that your address (and country) is correct & consistent between your payment provider and your Adobe account:

     

    https://account.adobe.com/communication

     

    You can also possibly try to use PayPal to purchase your subscription, if offered by Adobe in your region.

     

    But otherwise, the only folks who have the ability to work on account payment issues is Adobe Customer Care themselves – please contact them directly:

    Sorry we can't be of more help to you here!

    Think the problem might be that I'm currently in Colombia, but my PayPal and Adobe accounts are all UK-based. I need to use Illustrator straight away for some work I have to do this week.

      I'm having the same issue in the USA.

       

      I've tried subscribing to Adobe CC using 5 different accounts and 6 different cards, as well as three different computers both Mac and PC, but I receive the same error: 

       

      "We are unable to approve your transaction at this time.

      There are a number of reasons for order failure, among them errors in the payment information, or billing address, or an inaccurate email address.

      Searching through different forums, it seems like only 3 people in the world have this issue so I'm a little confused.

       

      This error occurs when I try to sign up for any Adobe CC subscription, such as All Apps, or just signing up for a single product like Adobe Spark.

       

      I've tried contacting adobe support through chat and phone but I just keep getting transferred, I'm sure because it's an annoying issue to fix. Who knows. 

       

      I also have two Macs where I had Adobe CC installed, but it keeps saying it needs to be repaired. Even after uninstalling and reformatting my computer (or trying the repair), I can't even open it without saying Adobe CC needs to be repaired.

       

      No idea what's going on.
