Review Account Details and Contact Adobe Support
Verify your billing status and submit a refund request directly to Adobe customer care.
Unexpected charges during a trial typically result from a system processing error or eligibility issues (such as previously using a trial on the same account). Contacting Adobe directly is the fastest way to resolve this.
Log into your Adobe account on a web browser and navigate to 'Plans and payment' > 'Plans' to verify the status of your subscription and confirm the cancellation.
Go to the 'Billing history' section to locate the exact R$124.90 charge and download the invoice or receipt for your records.
Navigate to the Adobe Help Center, click on 'Contact Us' at the bottom right, and open a live chat. Explain that you were charged during your 7-day free trial despite canceling and request a full refund.
Dispute the Charge with Your Payment Provider
If Adobe support is unable or unwilling to process the refund, escalate the matter to your bank or credit card issuer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was I charged for an Adobe free trial?
You might have been charged if you or someone using your payment method previously claimed a free trial, rendering you ineligible. Alternatively, it could be a temporary authorization hold by your bank to verify the card, which will eventually drop off.
How long does an Adobe refund take to process?
Once Adobe approves the refund, it typically takes 5 to 7 business days for the funds to appear back on your credit card or bank statement, depending on your financial institution.
Can I get a refund if I forgot to cancel my Adobe trial on time?
Yes, Adobe generally offers a full refund if you cancel your subscription within 14 days of your initial order, even if the 7-day free trial period has already ended.
