Hi I'm having trouble downloading and updating my apps due to billing issues I had a previous debit card and it won't let me do anything with my apple store because it's declined even though I deleted the card permanently from my account but it's still here and not letting me do anything

- "You might need to have a payment method on file, even if the app that you want to download is free." If you have something else on your account that requires a payment method, such as a subscription, and your current payment method is not working then Apple won't let you download even free things until you fix the payment method. This is explained in this document, 'If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store' - https://support.apple.com/HT203005

- If you are updating an old card and have ongoing subscriptions you may need to first add the new card and make it the primary payment method before deleting the old card.
