Canceled my account with old billing info; can't get Adobe to charge the right info

[eabarth]

My credit card was compromised recently, and I knew I wouldn't have a new card by the time Adobe was going to charge me for the next month of my subscription. Plus, considering I didn't really use it that much, I decided to cancel my Adobe CC account.

What I didn't realize is that Adobe charges an early-cancellation fee, and I only learned this once I got the first email about my payment not working (not working because Adobe still has my old, canceled credit card number). The problem is, when I go to change my payment method, I'm not allowed to, because I don't have an active Adobe CC subscription. There's no link to edit payment info if you don't have a current subscription.

I spoke to customer service via the live chat about this (I have the full transcripts), and I was eventually directed to a link where I could change my billing info. I put in my new payment info and thought everything was fine, but then I got another failed payment email a couple of days later. I spoke to customer service once again, and went through the same process. It doesn't seem to be working—I'm still getting failed payment notifications.

At one point, I received an email from one of the customer service reps saying this: "Edward, this is to inform you that we are unable to charge the early termination fee due to the error on your card. Hence, as one time exception we'll not charge the early termination fee." However, I just got my FOURTH failed payment email.

I really don't know what's left to do. Customer service seems unable to help me, and they're sending me mixed messages (failed payment vs. "we're not going to charge you"). What do I do?

i sent a message to adobe staff.  only adobe employees can help you.

you will NOT be contacted via skype unless a scammer tries to contact you, so do not respond to anyone claiming to be from adobe and using skype.

Thank you for this information. Something similar happens to me, they keep charging me when I already canceled the subscription.

And when I talk to someone through the chat on the page, they ask me for the first 6 digits and the last 4 digits of my credit card. Is it normal for them to ask for that?

Hi eabarth,

The cancellation fee was declined as the credit card is declined, the CC is terminated. Unfortunately, it can not be restarted, please make a new purchase.

In case you want any assistance in placing the new order, please let me know here or personal message.

Regards

I tried to pay the cancellation fee by contacting customer service two times and going to a link they provided where I could put in new credit card information. I put in my new, working credit card number on two occasions, and yet Adobe is still trying to charge my old credit card number, so I keep getting failed payment emails. I want to pay the fee and cancel my subscription. Believe it or not, I still want to pay the cancellation fee even though your customer service representative told me the fee would be waived, just so that I don't have to deal with this any longer. But Adobe is not letting me pay the fee. I've never had such a hard time giving a company my money.

No, I do not want to start a new subscription. Forcing me to start a new subscription and making me pay for another year of a product I do not want is not a solution to my problem.
