Subscription scam?

[Federica0101]

Hello, back in June I activated the free trial for Acrobat Pro DC. When it was time to end my subscription I couldn't access my account. I waited and tried to get in contact with the customer service but I discovered that I had to actually call a number because I live in Italy. I stalled, I just couldn't believe there wasn't any other way to talk to them. Finally, I received an email informing me that since the payment had failed multiple times my subscribtion would be canceled. Just what I wanted! Now, after 5 months almost I managed to access my account only to discover that the subscription is still there. It simply says that my plan has expired and that in order to reactivate it I need to update my payment info. Now, does this mean they are secretly charging me with every month I have not payed since the free trial? 

All this seems very odd to me. I never received any further solicitation nor a confirmation of the cancelation. Can somebody help, please? I have read the terms of use and it doesn't say anywhere that I can be charged for the unpaid monthly subscription. If I reactivated it, will I be charged 1 month or 5 months? 

I find it very questionable to ask for my credit card info for a 7 days trial and not even bother to offer a more accessible and trackable customer service. The e-mail, which seemed very clear, was not clear at all. How does "cancelled" mean "suspended until you come back with the money?"

Here is the contract you agreed to when you started - https://www.adobe.com/legal/subscription-terms.html

>call a number because I live in Italy. I stalled

Since you did not cancel, I think you will have to pay what you owe to start again

But... I don't work for Adobe

" If you have not provided us a backup payment method(s) and you fail to provide payment, or if all payment methods in your account fail, we may suspend your subscription."

They basically repeat the same thing over and over without being specific. What if I am not interested and I neber update my account because I have no need to do so? It doesn't say that the payment is estinguished but I have a mail that proves such possibility. Why didn't they send me a confirmation though? I did not expect such a well known company to be sneaky like this. And yeah, the card I initially paid with got blocked because I was a victim of a fraud and a scam by another company. Yesterday I saw they have a partnership with Adobe...imagine my concern.
