Double-charged, 3 support tickets in and still trying to get refund, please help!

Could someone point me towards an Adobe support manager/supervisor with an email address? I believe the support chat employees may be causing more issues than resolution in my case.
My issue: On 12/26/12, attempting to reactivate an existing subscription, I was double-charged and ended up with two active subscriptions (the re-activated one and a new one). I have spent the last 3 weeks attempting to get this corrected to one active subscription and the second charge refunded, and it appears that on 1/03/12 I received an email saying that I was being refunded, but a couple weeks later I still see no funds in my bank account.
What should I do? I feel like I'm on this wild and crazy goose chase to get my $80.46 back. Every time I open a support ticket (I'm on my third one right now) I end up calmed by statements of 'I truly understand your problem' and then no follow up or resolution, the support technicians don't seem to comprehend me, leaving me very confused and frustrated, it's a mess!
The last person (a couple hours ago) said he couldn't help me and that he would escalate the issue - At this point, would I be best off to ask my bank if they can cancel one of the two charges? I'm digging around for a support email, in an attempt to circumvent the live chat technicians and get to someone who will understand me, but I can't find any way to get support from Adobe outside of that horrible live chat system.
I just sent the following complaint through the BBB:
When I re-activated my Creative Cloud subscription on 12/26 I ended up with two charges on my credit card and two active subscriptions. I needed 1 active Creative Cloud subscription, but ended up with 2. Since then, I have opened 3 support tickets to fix this, and the whole ordeal has turned into a nightmare.
- The first ticket was opened the very next morning explaining the problem and requesting the the duplicate charge to be cancelled.
- The second ticket was opened another day later to ask when the refund would come through and to let them know I was concerned that my account showed both subscriptions still active. I was shocked when the agent said that there was no refund pending, and that I had to specifically state to her that 'I would like a refund' in order to receive one. Even after this, I don't believe she ever put in a refund request because that ticket auto-closed itself and I STILL had two active subscriptions showing in my account.
- The third support ticket was opened today, 3 weeks later. This time the support employee said he cannot help, seemed very confused, said the product had been returned, that a refund CANNOT be issued, and that he would have to escalate the issue. The first and third people I talked to did not seem to comprehend me very well, and I almost wonder if the first or second person made a mistake somewhere that lead to all of this confusion.
I am frustrated, don't know what to do, and have ended up paying for two subscriptions this month, one of which was not used, intended, or needed. I received an email on the third saying that funds had been released, and that it may take 5 days to receive them, but I never received any funds back in my account. The support employees I talk to barely seem to comprehend me and don't have any follow through. I don't know where to go from here. I would like to walk away with one active subscription and one refund for the second one that I was mistakenly charged for, promptly cancelled, and never received a refund for.
I'm not certain why this has become such a complicated matter. Please, help! There is currently one open support ticket regarding this case, but I am sending this email (also sending to the BBB) because I do not feel that support employee understood my issue or what I'm going through.
Thank you,
Order History: [removed, shows home address] - shows 2 subscriptions for the Creative Cloud ordered on 12/26. This was supposed to be 1 subscription re-activated. I ended up with the existing subscription re-activated and a NEW subscription activated.

Someone will be contacting you shortly to help get things sorted out.

  • HT1420 I have the new version of the macbook pro and I cannot find authorize this computer anywhere on itunes. I have read the directions multiple times and still cannot find it. Please help!

    I have the newer version of the macbook pro and I have read the directions on how to authorize your computer to let you download previous song purchases from icloud onto your laptop, but I cannot find where it says "authorize this computer" at all. I have looked for it everywhere and still cannot find it. Please help!

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • My iphone 5 is no longer charging with new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help.

    My iphone 5 is no longer charging with a new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help. It just started happening this week and I have tried everything. Is this a software / driver problem?  We all know the battery doesn't last a full day if you "use" your phone like a normal person. I am very frustrated! My daughters iphone 5 started doing this a few days later than mine as well.

    Not much help I'm afraid but I use my iPhone 5 like a 'normal' person and it's battery almost all day. Perhaps there's a hardware fault somewhere? Have you tried the usual reset and restore?

  • My photoshop elements keeps quitting and won't open. I have removed and reinstalled and still the same?? Please help??

    Please state the version of your PSE and also tell us what is your operating system.

  • My Iphone 5 wont turn on, so the battery/screen/charger/LEDpanel have been replaced and still it wont turn on. HELP?

    My iPhone 5 randomly turned off, so I thought it needed charging. It still didn't turn on which then lead to me replacing the charger. After this didn't work I got the screen, LED panel and battery replaced. The phone still wont turn on
    So now after paying for all this, it makes me feel like the iPhone was just a waste of money, if anyone has experienced anything similar.. PLEASE HELP?

    Obviously i would not know about your mate, likely he us doing his best.
    Apple might not sell parts, try getting bits for a Sinclair C5. but many still run around including two of mine.
    many genuine repair guys buy old even, faulty, broken even brand new phones just for bits, many sold on auction sites, the seller likely putting the funds back into a new or working second hand unit.
    guys, its a bit off knocking them without knowing the individual first and at least thinking first.
    Your handset suddenly stopped, don't mean the whole brand or model range is rubbish, kack happens when you have high volume items with millions of transistors inside, just take one. It might have got, condensation - even in your pocket unless you don't sweat (look at the detectors), dropped hard causing a fracture, dropping soft finished it off and now its failed. All conjecture so best shot is wait for the appointment, get advice and have it checked out.
    At least Apple have these help centres.

  • Charging not supported with this accessory. Multiple cables...please help

    A couple weeks ago I started occasionally getting a "Charging is not supported with this accessory" error when my phone was plugged in to my wall, and car charger. Then, it would randomly start popping up when it wasn't even plugged in to anything... it got worse and now it won't even charge. It just pops on and off like I'm plugging and unplugging the cable. So I decided to restore the iphone and update again, to wipe everything off. During the restore it got to clear the software, but every time before it can finish installing everything back the iphone comes "unplugged" and now I can't even use the phone because it's stuck in recovery mode and just says to plug it into itunes. I've tried 3 different cables, and tried doing this about 6 times now. Please help, I'm at a loss... I even cleaned the port where it connects and everything. It's an iphone 4 with ATT, and I've had it for about a year...

    I tried that earlier today
    I just cleaned it again for about an hour with the toothbrush. It got almost all the way done restoring and then said an unknown error occured and the iphone shut back off. Sigh

  • HT201210 ive tried all of this many times now and it went through a restore once but my iPod still said i needed to hook up to iTunes (you know the screen showing a power cord and the iTunes icon) ive tried and tried but still can't get it PLEASE HELP ASA

    I've have done all of the tips Apple has suggested and have tried many times to restore it but it still won't work.  IThe first time it went through the whole process and it seemed like it worked but it still showed the Screen that has a iPod power cord that has an arrow pointing to the iTunes thumbnail.  And now i thought well maybe it is restored i just need to sync it to Itunes but no my computer said that i encountered a problem my iPod and that i need to restore it so I tried.  And at the end of the first step, the Verifying Software step, it said that the device "iPod" could not be found, so Itried it again and again but it still came up with the same results so I'm screwed so if you can could you please help me i really need after a disabled iPod for about 2 to 3 months now.  So if you could please help i would appreciate it alot. THANK YOU.

    - Reboot the computer, try another USB port and try anohter cable.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restore.

  • Artwork in Itunes: I still don't get it - please help me peach!

    The response and the links provided by 'wrongway peachfuzz' instruct me to change artwork in itunes using 'get info' and artwork appears correctly when I follow instructions. But when I subscribe from another mac, the artwork does not appear.
    I have read the response often sent by 'wrongway peachfuzz' at least dozen times. His instructions don't even require me to log in. If changing it in 'get info' would work, couldn't spammers change the artwork on every podcast to a picture of george bush or some ad for refinancing?
    Subscribers won't 'get info' to see the correct artwork. I want subscribers to be able to see my artwork in their 'album' view or their 'cover flow' view.
    Thanks for your previous responses, but I need more help!
    J

    Hey, sorry to leave ya hangin', but it was a long weekend . . .
    Anyway -
    I think I see your point of confusion here: you were trying to change the artwork from your page in the iTunes Store, correct? (Hence: . . .+instructions don't even require me to log in+. . .) My friend, this is not done from your iTunes Store listing, okay? The steps that I have laid out in previous posts are done way before your podcast ever shows up in the store.
    Let's walk through it step by step:
    1. You record a podcast onto your computer.
    2. You edit the audio for speaking errors, format the bit rate, etc.
    }}}}Right now, your podcast is just a file, sitting on your computer. It hasn't hit the web yet, and you *have not* updated your XML file.{{{{
    3. You take the file that is sitting on your hard drive, and drag it into iTunes.
    4. You follow the steps for changing artwork that I have given previously.
    5. You upload your podcast file to a server where people can download it.
    6. You update your podcast feed/XML.
    See, the thing is, *no one* can change the files from the Store. That is how no spammers are able to access anything. The changes are made to the file before you upload it. And thus, when people download your file, they are getting your podcast and +the artwork that you attached to your podcast+.
    Hope this clears things up for you -- let me know if it doesn't.
    Peach
    P.S. Peach is not a "he."

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if it that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear and it will boot up.
    If that doesn’t fix it then have you got a different cable, and possibly charger, that you could try ?

    I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    Hi troy157,
    I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
    The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
    If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:

    Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
    1. Update your device software
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Check for app updates
    Ensure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
    Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
    Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
    Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the application and then download it again.
    Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
