If you're only seeing this on a financial statement, check you haven't subscribed to the same service twice, once through Apple and a second time directly with the service provider. E.g., Join Apple Music on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC - Subscribe to Apple Music - Apple Support - "Make sure to join Apple Music through either Apple or your mobile phone service provider, so that you're not charged by both."


It is also possible in some places to subscribe once through Apple and a second time directly with a third party, see: About purchases not billed through the App Store or Apple In-App Purchase - Apple Support i. For this you need to work directly with the vendor, not Apple.


Click on this link to read what to do "If you see ‘itunes.com/bill‘ or an unfamiliar charge on your bank, credit card, or debit statement" --> If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement - Apple Support Note, if you are a Family Sharing organizer, purchases or subscriptions made by another family member may be charged to your card but will not appear under your purchase history or subscriptions. Ask family members about those or check the email receipts Apple sends you for any purchase charged to your Apple Account.


If you need further assistance contact Apple.
