I got a charge from Apple but I do not have any Apple Products

What the heck is this charge on my Credit Union Savings Account for Apple and I DON'T HAVE AN APPLE DEVICE. I HAVE AN ANDROID!

It means your credit card has been compromised and crooks are charging you for nothing under Apple's name. You need to call your credit card issuer and have the charge reversed, and the credit card replaced with a new number.

As Apple did not make the charges, they will have no record of the transactions. As Kurt wisely advises, only your card issuer can fix it.
