Hello again ~ I see…this is also in the article that you first came from…*If you sent money to the wrong person, ask them to send the money back. If the other person hasn't accepted the payment, you can cancel the payment until they accept it. If the person doesn't accept the payment within 7 days, the money automatically returns to you.


So if you can’t accept the money for whatever reason it will go back to the person that sent it. You may want to contact the person who sent the money and pass this information along.You can go to lower left and click on Support or contact Apple here for further assistance…


Contact Apple for support and service


Good luck.

Hello ~ Take a look at this helpful information by clicking on the following link…


Apple Cash - Apple*


*With Apple Cash Family, you can set up Apple Cash for members in your Family Sharing group who are under age 18. Once it’s set up, they can send, spend, and receive money using Apple Cash. You can receive notifications when they make a transaction, limit the people they can send money to, and even lock their account.


So with that being said it can be done in Family Sharing…not on your own if you are not 18. Also if you are a member of Family Sharing your organizer can lock Apple Cash.This is from the article you came from…


If you can't send or receive money with Apple Cash - Apple Support*


*If you're under 18 years old and part of Apple Cash Family

The family organizer might have locked your Apple Cash account or placed restrictions on who you can send money to.


You may need to check with them if this is the case.
