Signed on for a 7 day trial but was immediately charged the subscription fee.

Signed on for a 7day trial a couple of weeks ago (~Monday 13th June) of Adobe Acrobat Premium (Monthly). Was immediately billed the subscription fee.

 

The LiveChat that I had with Adobe Customer Support let me know that I needed to contact Google for a refund of the subscription fee.

 

I contacted Google however unfortunately, they are not providing a refund, regardless of the screenshot I provided with subtext showing that I wouldn't be charged until the 7day trial period ends. They contacted me before the trial period was meant to end.

 

In response to my review, I was recommend to contact the Adobe Support Community.

 

Please let me know if further information or screenshots are required.

 

Many thanks

@sophie25487059dq5y Hi,

 

Sorry for the trouble. 

 

Getting charged on the first day of subscribing can be due to two reasons:

1. You have availed the free trial any time prior;

2. You chose to go with the monthly model of subscription. [7-day free trial is only available on a yearly subscription].

 

I suggest you contact your store operator to start the refund process.

 

Please refer to the below link to learn more about cancellation, refund and start the refund process:

Manage subscriptions — Acrobat for iOS Help (adobe.com)

Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support

 

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Souvik.

Hello Leo,

 

I hope you are doing well. I am sorry for your experience with Acrobat Reader Mobile subscription charges.

 

Acrobat Premium is a mobile-based subscription, and any issues related to cancellation and payments should be generally done through the store from where the subscription was purchased. 

 

You were charged because the 7-day free trial you are referring to is only available if you opt-in for the yearly membership and not with monthly.

 

As you mentioned that you contacted our support, you might have a case ID with you for it. Can you please share the details over a private message so I can check further?

When I was charged for 9 months after finishing my trial period I phoned Adobe up, and told them it was illegal in the UK to use this procedure without giving fair warning to the customer. I also reported it to my bank, and I immediately received a refund of the full amount.
