I've used Adobe products for years and decided to try out their Creative Cloud service and paid a monthly fee for the service for over year.
I then contact them to cancel the subscription (since I only used the service on 3 different occassions) and Suraj keeps telling me that I'm locked into an annual contract and have to either pay a cancellation fee or continue paying the monthly subscription fee for another 8 months and then contact them to cancel.
I explained to Suraj, that I did not authorize anyone to automatically renew any subscriptions especially for a service that I don't own or use.
He tried to tell me that I received an email stating that my subscription was being automatically renewed. I explained to Suraj that I don't recall ever receiving that email and even if they did send that email, it does not give them the right to automatically renew the subscription and continue taking money out of my account without me personally approving it.
Suraj kept insisting that I have to keep the subscription payments made until the end of the contract. I had to kindly inform Suraj that I'll be calling my banks risk department in the morning to file chargebacks for four months of unauthorized charges and that my bank will make sure the monthly deductions are stopped.
This is not how you do business with people that you consider your customers. This is a perfect example of a bad business practice and I highly recommend that no one deals with Adobe Creative Cloud unless you are prepared to be taken to the cleaners and have your money robbed from under your nose while Adobe thinks it's a good business practice.
Shame on you Adobe Creative Cloud! You've lost a long-time customer and you will have credit card chargebacks filed against your operation.
Anyone who is dealing with this same situation just needs to simply call your bank and file a chargeback for unauthorized recurring charges.
After my computer re-booted, I was told that an update for adobe was available. I clicked the button, and another textbox displayed that not only was I downloading the adobe update, but my computer was being infected with McAfee software (a 2nd installation), therefore, I aborted the "update" installations.
Not only do I consider this consumer issue unethical, it should be illegal for a software company to foist another companies product on consumers without their permission.
I've loved the Adobe product for years. I subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud over one year ago. Unfortunately, I called in October of 2014 to let them know I wanted to cancel my membership. I was informed that my commitment was an annual one (although I was uninformed of this when I signed up).
I was then "given" two months free membership for staying with the plan through the end of the year i.e. free January and February of this year.
I contacted Adobe today to cancel my membership and was informed that I would have to pay a $250.00 cancellation fee since the annual membership automatically renews.
Again I was not informed of this.
I told them that they could cancel my membership without a fee or they would hear from my attorney. I was then told that my membership was cancelled without a fee.
I believe that the way this was handled in all instances was meant to keep me "on the hook" and that I was deliberately deceived by Adobe.
I will never buy another Adobe product again as a result of the way that I was treated.
I strongly suggest that you be very careful with these people. They aren't to be trusted.
Adobe has cheated their loyal ColdFusion clients by removing full support for ColdFusion in their Dreamweaver Application and moving it to CF Builder. The problem here is that CF Builder is not offered in their Creative Cloud Subscriptions. It has to be purchased separately. What baffles me is Dreamweaver was originally developed as an application for ColdFusion Developers/Designers. First by Allaire, then Macromedia and finally purchased by Adobe who has slowly sucked the CF Soul out of the product. It is also unconscionable that Adobe would NOT include CF Builder in the Creative Cloud Subscription, especially since pulling full support of ColdFusion from Dreamweaver. I will be cancelling my CC subscription as well as voicing my disillusionment with Adobe with regards to their blatant disregard for their customers and ColdFusion Developers. I encourage all who feel like me to post to as many forums as you can until Adobe listens and does what is right.
Adobe is resorting to a SCAM strategy to stay alive!
I purchased this service from Adobe in May 2013 and quickly realized it was not going to provide the solution I had a need for. Cancellation of a service with Adobe is a challenge, it is designed to be time consuming, difficult and frustrating. This appears to be the chosen retention strategy for Adobe.
The first support chat I had with an Adobe rep resulted in the rep telling me that she was not able to cancel my account as something was wrong with their system. I had encountered this issue when attempting to cancel the account by following the instructions posted in the Adobe Support Knowledgebase as well so I agreed to wait 2-3 days for an email from Adobe confirming my account cancellation. I waited 5 days and heard nothing from them.
The second support chat resulted in the rep cancelling my account and adding a request for a partial refund since I was unable to cancel my account. I was told to wait 2-3 days. I requested the phone support number so I could speak to someone about this and was told that Adobe does not have a phone support line. More than a week later, no word from Adobe.

Phone support has thus far used the same tactic as chat,. Get the customer off the phone and then close the case.
It is now May 18th, 2014 and I was last told to expect a call from Adobe on Monday the 19th.
I will update this when they again fail to follow thru.

Phone support has thus far used the same tactic as chat,. Get the customer off the phone and then close the case.
It is now May 18th, 2014 and I was last told to expect a call from Adobe on Monday the 19th.
I will update this when they again fail to follow thru.
