I ordered the Adobo Photo Plan subscription mentioned on this forum on 11/29. I received confirmation. On 12/11, having not received any activation codes, I had a chat with a Lenovo rep. He told me waiting for Adobe to provide more activation codes. On 11/12, I received an email from Lenovo saying my order was cancelled at my request (which I did not request). I am not the only person this has happened to. What recourse do we have? Misrepresenting the reason for the cancellation is, I suppose, technically fraud.

Did you ask the rep at Lenovo? What was their response to the cancellation? I'm assuming that there must have been some type of promotion for a lower cost else, why not just get it from Adobe.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

The offer appeared in CPW as the lowest price seen in 2 years. Lenovo charged my credit card (thus establishing a contract). They are falsifying the record by claiming I cancelled the order.

Are they refusing to reinstate?

If it were me, and I wanted to understand all of the real reasons behind why they cancelled my order, and then why they misrepresented the reason for cancellation, I would call them again and have a chat with someone a bit higher up.

In the past, when I have really wanted to know all of the real reasons behind something, I usually have at least a modicum of success if I pester the vendor via phone calls over and over again. . Eventually they realize it will be easier to explain all of the real reasons than it will be to give you some made-up answer or tell you that someone else will call you back.

Customer Support reps hate it when you ask for a supervisor, because their supervisor is not happy with them when they aren't able to handle the call on their own. . They are trained to get you to be okay with not talking with a supervisor. . But if you insist, repeatedly, then at most places they eventually do have to connect you with a supervisor.

Here are some of Lenovo's phone numbers (you obviously already have at least one of these):

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

I tried calling the CS number. There was a 45 minute wait. I pressed the button for call-back. I never got a call. When I went on Chat, I started at position 156. But at least I could do other things on my computer while I waited. I will try chat again.

If you used a credit card, talk to your card issuer.

Have they refunded your credit card"?
