The worst customer service I've ever had

[Kenneth35406327qgkx]

I'll include step by step screenshots of the chat session I had with the most unhelpful and useless customer service team I've ever had, and I've had to deal with CenturyLink support before:

Is this indicative of what Customer Service for Adobe is usually like?  I'm seeing posts on the forums all about this, and I'm wondering if I just need to ask here or through social media to get a problem solved, since both times I've contacted Adobe Support they've been incredibly unhelpful.

Hi @Kenneth35406327qgkx,

Except that the agent left the conversation quite appruptly which may also be communication issues, I think that the customer service was quite good. You are asking for support for an account where you do not provide the credentials and you are not proving any proof that you are entitled to the access.. 

You should try to reactivate the e-mails of the people and attack the issue from there. I would absolutely be horrified if any clown (not to take personally) coming along could get access to my company's account, just by claiming some knowledge of my company.

BTW: you posted in the stock forum. Except if your quest is with Adobe stock, you posted in the wong forum. There is no indication, that your issue is with stock.

I can move your post to the forum you think that your issue belongs.

(and before you blame Adobe: I do not work for Adobe. Adobe would have answered differently.)

Yeah Adobe wouldn’t have answered at all.

I only posted in the wrong forum because it’s impossible to navigate around the site in general and the design is completely antithetical to getting help or any information whatsoever.

To answer your concern, yes I understand wanting to qualify making sure someone has access to the account legitimately is a concern.  However, there was no attempt to do this by any of the reps I spoke to, in fact they completely ignored that this was the request I was making.  All they wanted to do was to pass me on to someone else as soon as they had the slightest indication that they could get me off the radar.

If you think the customer service was “quite good” that says more about the baseline you set for what I only loosely call “service”, and how much trust anyone can give to yet another of their few venues for actual help.

No, they would have answered in a less harsh way.

You did not answer my question, which may be one of your troubles. If I read the message correctly, your question is about a Teams or an Enterprise subscription. I will move your request there.

I think you do the customer service wrong. I have read your transcript now on my desktop. (Did you know that you can ask for a transcript? That would have spared me to through your graphics, which gets tiny on my iPad.)

So, you have a Teams or Enterprise subscription, which has been bought through a reseller. Your reseller needs to tell you the “contract owner”. That person needs to log in to the admin console and has to add you as an administrator. If that person is no more with your company, reactivate their e-mail and ask for a password reset for that account. The second agent also suggested that the reseller could be able to reassign a new contract owner.

If that does not work, you could always reactivate the second person's e-mail, resetting the password and try to log in. That would provide you with access to the admin console as administrator. Create your ID as an admin. From there, you will have to contact Adobe again and ask for a transfer of the contract owner to your account.

Change the primary admin of your Teams account

Thank you for moving to the correct forum.

So you admit you defended their Customer Service without reading the interactions, then blamed me for not doing something that the site doesn't even provide information about, expecting me to know it just because.  I don't have time to become an expert in Adobe Support before having a simple question answered, and the implication that I should have to is completely asinine.

Also apologies for not quoting your reply, I tried to do it but again, the interface is completely antithetical to being intuitive and I couldn't figure out how to do so, and I'm not willing to put in 20 minutes to do it since, again, the answer is not listed in any convenient place.

Also to reiterate, if you think I did customer service wrong, your baseline for customer service is what in competent industries would be considered "hostile".  Just something to think about in your interactions.  I also plan on moving my users away from Adobe as soon as possible because of the complete impossibility to get support during an emergency.

As mentioned in the notes, I contacted the reseller, and they told me there's nothing they can do, since while he can add licensing to an account, the account in question has already been set up for administrative access in the past.   I also contacted the site administrator and they said there's nothing they can do about it either.

I have already reset the password, that attempt is useless because it redirects me to a Google sign in, and when I enter the username and password there, I get the error message listed, that it doesn't have licensing permissions.
