Not mine but this is actually what I did too.
I said I plan to charge back on my credit card. They threatened that if I did that, they can’t promise my account wouldnt be flagged.
I said “bet” and they removed the cancellation fee and cancelled the service.
It’s been roughly 8 years since I las paid for an Adobe subscription. The subscription period was over and yet they renewed it unilaterally. A whole year nonetheless.I called my bank, explained the situation, alleged scam and asked for a refund and to forever block any attempt from Adobe to charge my credit card. No only the agreed right away (which actually surprised me). They said that they have received a lot of similar request from other customers, all coming from Adobe.
