How do I get out paying the cancellation fee?

[andrewz78245600]

I have been paying for Adobe Creative Suites for over three years. Now they say I have to pay a cancellation fee? This isn't fair and I'm not getting anywhere. Can anyone help?

If you did not close your account before the renewal date, your original contract remains in force... meaning a fee to cancel early

Yeah it's dawned on me that I've been screwed! I thought it only applied to the first year. Thanks for taking the time!

Nobody here can help you. Those are the terms you agreed to.  You needed to cancel in the 12 month to avoid cancellation fees.   HINT:  You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.   If you're really really nice to the agent, maybe you can persuade them to waive a portion of your cancellation fees.  It never hurts to ask.

Sad to see this thread. These cancellation fees are a scam, with the typical sugar coating of Adobes "professional" mannerisms.

@maxiem3110 

why did you think your monthly cost was lower than the monthly subscription?

If you are willing to pay more, SOME programs are available Monthly https://community.adobe.com/t5/Get-Started/Being-charged-for-a-full-year-when-i-m-on-month-to-month/... - links and pictures
