Why does Apple keep charging me for money and keep making me have debt over and over again

Why is it that when Apple charges you for something they take more money than asked for and if you can’t pay it, you develop a debt with them and have to continue paying each time you add a card to your payments? Probably the worst thing about having an Apple product is the Apple debt. I would like to have the same amount as debt as a five-year college student. Please and thank you.

You don't incur debt unless you sign up for subscriptions or purchase products in the App Store. That debt needs to be paid for and does not go away by simply removing a card from your account. For subscriptions, they need to be cancelled. If charges occurred to do fraud, they need to be resolved. You do not say how these charges happened, but only you can control what debt you incur.

Same with me. For the last three weeks I have made about 10 purchases through Apple Pay on iPhone and each time I’ve had to pay an extra 10.99 because Apple put a charge on my card and I don’t know how to make this quit. It happens with every single purchase. It’s absolutely draining my money and I cannot make it stop

I remember it started because I bought something and my cashapp card was locked

Apple went ahead and bought it, and put my ios account on hold until i paid it. And since then it occurs every single time I make a payment.

This is ridiculous and I can’t have this happen

I can’t switch to a new Apple ID because all of the data that I have paid for is on here for years. That would be a horrible horrible thing.

I really need this @Apple
