If you dig deep enough, you will find on the adobe web site, customer service with "contact us, real help with real people". That's not true.

It's a bot. They have been charging me twice for a year for my monthly subscription.

no help anywhere. My company is now scratching them off a short list for magneto enterprise platform we were considering, because their customer service is so pathetic.

Cancellation/ Adobe scammed me

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have had adobe for a while and haven't had the time to call. When I did call the support number, I was under the impression this problem would be solved.

But it wasn't. When i got my subscription I was under the impression that I would only be paying 20$ for a school promo and at the time I couldn't cancel it because paying 100+ is out of the question for a college student. Now ismgine my surprise and disgust to find out Adobe has been charging me 50+$ for something I didn't want nor sign up for in the first place- I signed ip for 20$, not 50. After the support number assured me I wouldn't need to be paying as much anymore, i found out they lied again.

I was told I wouldn't have to pay it anymore and then I see the charge to my account.

It's ridiculous to lie to people about what they're paying for, and how it'll be fixed when it's not. Adobe is a stealing, cheat that has no business advertising to college students.

Cancel subscription

Adobe - Cancel subscription

My school job is offering this free of charge. I don't need to buy it on a personal basis.

I want the Adobe Acrobat Reader subscription canceled today, July 29, 2024, so I will not be charged. I do not wish to continue my services with Adobe. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Sincerely, Audra C. Milgrim.

No need for a resolve.

Original review Jun 23, 2024
Most of the bad reviews for Adobe are from users who did not cancel, but pretended to cancel and then claimed that Adobe took money from their account without authorization. I too took a free trial.

They sent me an email detailing the conditions:
-Type of subscription: annual, paid monthly
-When to pay
-Cancellation terms.
There was no fine print; everything was in a readable, normal font size.
When I cancelled, I received another email with a cancellation confirmation. There were no problems with that.
I know that some users, when cancelling via customer service, get offered free extensions of three months for not cancelling. If you accept that, you accepted an extension instead of a cancellation.

You need to know what to do.
The only real drawback is that you can't cancel at the end of your subscription. You need to put a reminder for your end of subscription in your calendar.

Pros:
  • Photoshop elements and premiere elements for consumer use
  • Non profits get student or teacher prices
  • Professional products for professional use
Cons:
  • Quite expensive for consumers just doing that as a hobby

Preferred solution: Nothing, I’m fully satisfied

User's recommendation: Read the terms of cancellation for any subscription you take.

Resolved: Double billing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Adobe Pro has denied me access to my account, citing failed payment, yet they have been successfully billing two different credit cards $28.85 for seven months. Six Adobe reps discontinued chats and phone calls, and every Adobe email has been rejected, leaving their fraudulent practices unchecked. Unless I provide another credit card, I cannot access my account or saved Adobe PDFs.

Very bad service support. It says must call within published business hours which are 7/24.

Cannot get through to cancel trial to adobe. Even though I downloaded the latest version from YOUR site.

The Canadian government rollable form would not download and said I required the current software version, which I thought I had. A waste of my time and I never got the form.

User's recommendation: Use a different product. This is advertised as the tool from the government and does not work.

I had various accounts that I'd forgotten about that amounted to a lot of charges over time.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was honestly surprised and delighted when the woman I spoke to at Adobe spent a lot of time looking up accounts I mentioned to her both in the UK and the USA. By the end of the lengthy phone call she succeeded in canceling all of those accounts, and not only did that but agreed to reimburse me totally for all of the payments since those accounts started.

I'm definitely forgetful and get easily confused due to my health condition but in the end it was my fault. She did it all anyway and all charges are in the process of being returned to my bank.

Needless to say- I cried!

Value of services and UNAUTHORIZED charges

Adobe is not what it used to be. They've started adding more and more features to make up for the absurd amount of money they charge.

It's completely uncalled for, and the money they charge isn't even worth what we get.

I signed up for a FREE week subscription, so I could make a logo, and turns out I couldn't access my creative cloud after all. So I immediately cancelled. Due to so many fraudulent practices out there these days, I took a screenshot for insurance. Turns out, after the week was up, my card was attempted to be charged for $97.19.

And they still show my account as due.

Adobe has fallen off, in a big way.

No customer service to help, too much on their menu, charging way too much and unauthorized charges. If there was something less than 1 star, I'd give it.
