App Store Payment

I was trying to reinstall an app that I had played before and it was trying to make me pay for something and kept telling me that my payment method had failed. It doesn’t try to make me pay or verify when I download a game I haven’t played. Just the ones I have played before. It’s getting really frustrating.
