How to cancel my Adobe Stock subscription without a fee?

[Narcoboat]

Hello,

I had a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud so I could use Adobe apps for my school projects. I was going to cancel my plan but then noticed this entire time, I was being billed for Adobe Stocks but never knew. I've actually never used Stocks which is why I didn't know I was being charged for it. I want to cancel my subscription but the fee is more expensive than the Creative Cloud cancellation fee. I'd understand the fee for the Creative Cloud cancellation, but I find it unfair to be charged for cancelling a plan I never even knew I had and never used. Is there any way to cancel this plan without having to pay this huge fee?

I'm always surprised to hear about Adobe subscribers who report that they didn't know they were getting charged for something for months. It's much easier to negotiate an early cancellation of an accidental, unwanted subscription if you catch it after the first month's charge to your credit card. Nevertheless, you will have to contact Adobe directly and explain your situation and your request. Cancelling can't be done here in this forum..

You have taken the subscription in addition to your Creative Cloud subscription, by ticking the small button for the additional “30-day-free stock subscription”. What you did not read, was that it would convert into an annual subscription after the free month. Those conditions are with the subscription conditions that you said, you would accept, and they were sent to you with an e-mail confirming the subscription and the terms and conditions.

The early cancellation terms say that you need to pay half of the remaining due for not fulfilling your annual contract.

That's for the facts. The solution to this will be contacting Adobe customer support. If you haven't used the stock subscription, I suppose they let you negotiate favourable terms to ending this. You need to try. Good luck.
