Someone else’s Apple Card and billing info stuck in Apple Pay

I created my Apple Account years ago on a borrowed iPhone. Since then, an Apple Card that belongs to that person has been stuck in AutoFill and cannot be deleted.


Also, when I use Apple Pay online, that person’s name and billing address sometimes appear even though those details are not saved in Contacts, Wallet settings, or the card’s billing address.


If I add my own billing info, mine shows correctly, but if I remove it, the other person’s info comes back.


Apple Support could not remove the card, and I’m currently waiting for Apple’s Privacy Team.


Has anyone had something similar and actually managed to fix it?

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 27

Hi, I think it's an Apple Account provisioning issue that will require Apple Support/engineering to reset your account. It's very rare but I have seen persistent user information become attached to an account. Borrowing a device is never a good idea. I suspect even erasing the iPhone will have no impact because the information is associated with your Apple Account and not the device. Good luck with your mission and if you have a chance pleas let the community how it is ultimately resolved.

Correct, I have never had an Apple Card account. The Apple Card shown there belongs to the previous owner of an iPhone that was lent to me temporarily when I created my Apple Account.


When I tap the arrow, it shows that card’s saved details, not an Apple Card account belonging to me. The card is expired and there is no option that allows me to remove it. It also appears on my iPad signed into the same Apple Account.

That makes sense. However, this AutoFill entry first appeared on an iPhone 12 mini that was lent to me, and later appeared on my current iPhone 16 Pro and iPad. I’ve also already removed that old iPhone 12 mini from the list of devices associated with my Apple Account. Because of that, I suspect the entry may be syncing through my Apple Account rather than coming from one specific device. For now, I think I’ll wait to see what Apple’s Privacy Team says before resetting both devices.
