I did the free trial for adobe stock and I remember cancelling my account the same day, only to find, by suprise, 4 months later, that I was being charged for it !!! then I went to cancel and I discovered I had to pay a fee of 160 euros in orther to do so !!!!!!! what is this ? there is no indication along the way that this might be the case and since when this is even a legal practice ? I gave no consent to this. I'm a student and adobe stock is super expensive, anually is even more than my abonment for the suite !!!! there is no way I can afford to pay a fee for cancelling a service I was already paying, I payd already more than 100 euros and now I should pay another 160, for which reason ????
I would like to have this fee cancelled and the money reimbursed !

Let me first correct some false information from your post: when you took the test subscription, you accepted the terms and conditions and in those terms and conditions, you find the cancellation terms. They state, if you cancel your annual subscription early, you have to pay 50% of the remaining due.
Also, waiting 4 months into your paid subscription to see that you getting charged, does not speak for your finance management. Just as a good hint: check your accounts regularly. You need, to be credible, react as soon as an unexpected charge occurs. 4 months after the chatge is definitly too late.
If you cancelled, you will have gotten an e-mail with the cancel confirmation. With that confirmation at hand, contact Adobe customer care.

hello my friend abambo,
just to reply to your bitter "correction" :
As soon as I contacted adobe client service I have been totally reimbursed for what I have been charged as, and here I state what they have told me, " the ad isn't clear and many have been misleaded by the wording and we are reinbursing everyone who asks as a company policy".
About the cancelling fee let me tell you it doesn't comply to consumer protection laws.
Plus about my finance managent comment that you just couldn't share your unsolicited opinion I can tell you I have several bank accounts as I travel a lot and the account plus email I was being charged they were old accounts that I don't have easy access to.
You can look for similar threads and hundreds of people have been mislead by this, but if you really enjoy loosing your time to do bitter comments on students to defend a multi billion dollar business go on.
Hope you find some peace and me I'll try to manage my finances better to be more like the great abambo here.

If you didn't consume the subscription, I know that Adobe's custom is to refund users. I just do not know, how long into the subscription they go. I see that Adobe is handling this very loose in favour of the customer, which is fine for me.
I can see how people can be caught in a narrative, where they see free, and I saw recently, that Adobe changed the screens recently, let's how that works out. That Adobe reimbursed you is great, but that does change nothing to the fact that you clicked also "I accept" and that Adobe sends you a clear e-mail with what you took as a subscription. So it's not all black and white. You should read the terms and conditions and cancellation terms at the moment of signature. Online contracts give you a possibility to change your mind for some limited time. Use that, when you regret the initial impulse. Sales over the counter do not have those (legal) possibilities.
About the cancelling fee let me tell you it doesn't comply to consumer protection laws.

Which consumer laws? You took a contract for one year, and you are breaching this contract by early termination. Yo did not take the monthly contract, which is more expensive. Indeed, Adobe could also say, that early cancellation is not possible, and that you need to wait until the end of the year. I'm not dicussing here, however, Adobe's choices. I'm persuaded, however that at least for the first year, the early termination fee is legal. I'm, however, not a lawyer.
Plus about my finance managent comment that you just couldn't share your unsolicited opinion I can tell you I have several bank accounts as I travel a lot and the account plus email I was being charged they were old accounts that I don't have easy access to.

I have access to all of my accounts, even when traveling. The only ones that I don't have access too, are tose that I cancelled. My personal view to credit card accounts is, that I need to monitor those especially vigorously, because there is a possibility of fraud. I configured my credit cards in that sense. In any case, if you have fraudulent charges on your credit cards, complaining after 4 months will not help you getting a refund. The bank will simply tell you that the claim is issued too late. Check your credit card conditions.
You can look for similar threads and hundreds of people have been mislead by this, but if you really enjoy loosing your time to do bitter comments on students to defend a multi billion dollar business go on.

Having people complaining about something does not mean that they are right. And you won't see the thousands of users that are happy with this, they don't complain.
I would tell the same thing to my daughter, who is a student too, and needs to manage her subscriptions too. At least I'm happy, that I did not lose my time by providing the correct tip to contact customer care on this issue. Being a multi-billion company, means being very successful at what they are doing, so they have a huge customer base, that is quite happy with the service they are providing.
Have a nice day and great continuation of your studies.

Hello,
I see you still have quite a lot of time in your hands to loose, I don't. Please stop harassing people with unsolicited personal judgements, I'm not the only one that had this problem and everyone got reimbursed.
Please stop wasting my time and yours, I really hope you find something more fulfilling to do, maybe spend some time with your daughter.
You can reply as much as you want, this is my last message.
