Complain About Adobe - File a Complaint Today

Best ways to complain to Adobe

Getting a response can feel like a lifetime. Here's a realistic breakdown.

🔍 Tips to Get a Quicker Response from a Complaint

• Call early: Try calling right when their phone lines open to avoid the midday rush.
• Use the chat, then escalate: Start with chat to get a case number. If it goes nowhere, use that case number when you call or post on social media.
• Have everything ready: Your Adobe ID, invoice numbers, and screenshots. Don't give them an excuse to put you on hold.

How to Escalate Your Complaint

If Adobe support is giving you the runaround, it's time to escalate. Your best bet in the US is filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). It's a formal process where the BBB acts as a mediator. Adobe has a public profile there and is generally motivated to resolve complaints to maintain their rating. Just be aware, the BBB process works, but prepare to wait. It can take a few weeks to get a resolution, and Adobe might need a reminder or two before they respond to the BBB inquiry. You typically need to show you've tried to resolve it with Adobe first, so keep records of your chats or calls.

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Billing Error on Account [[Your Adobe ID]]

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing again to resolve an incorrect charge on my account. Despite contacting support on [[Date of first contact]], the issue of being overcharged [[$Amount]] on [[Date of charge]] remains unresolved. My case number is [[Your Case Number, if you have one]].

Frankly, the amount of time I've had to spend on this is incredibly frustrating. I was on the annual plan, paid monthly, and was charged an early termination fee even though I believe I completed my contract term. This feels like a deceptive practice.

To resolve this, I require you to issue a full refund of the [[$Amount]] cancellation fee immediately. Please process this and send a written confirmation to this email address within 3 business days.

If I do not receive a satisfactory response by then, my next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau and initiate a chargeback with my credit card provider.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved

• Ask for a supervisor immediately. If the first-level support agent is just reading from a script, politely but firmly ask to speak with a manager or supervisor who has the authority to solve your problem.
• Use the phrase "early termination fee". When dealing with cancellation issues, using their specific terminology shows you know what you're talking about and can cut through the initial confusion.
• Request a transcript. At the end of a live chat, always ask for a copy of the transcript to be emailed to you. This is your proof of what was said and promised.
• Try the forums. One user on Reddit mentioned they got a solution from an Adobe Community Professional on the official forums after support chat failed them twice. It's worth a shot.

Tired of navigating Adobe's support maze just to be hit with a massive cancellation fee? Sound familiar? It's a common story on Reddit and the BBB. Users are fed up with spending hours in chat queues only to be told they're locked into a yearly contract they didn't even realize they signed up for. It's exhausting.
