tthe AppStore is requiring to verify payment. For free apps! When I attempt to, my cards are denied. Why do I need to do this? How can I stop this process? I'm not making purchases.
iPhone 5c
I'm not sure why Apple verified this as it does not reflect its security practices at all. To the contrary, Apple allows anyone to add someone else's closed credit card to their account and make thousands in purchases, even for in store pick up by appointing themself as the 3rd party. Even worse, Apple allows the unauthorized purchaser to add items in store to the credit card, with a completely different name, Apple ID, phone number and address and bills the cardholder for those purchases too.
I can post my credit card support document if this sounds crazy, but it is unfortunately all true.
Well I though I had - two things were removed - the numbers to leave last for digits of car and the security code - everything else is there. Can't help but feel apple will have retained that data in there system. It don't feel right to me...
It is right. That is how Apple protects cardholders from unauthorized use. In your scenario, Apple performed perfectly. Allowing free downloads is a settings option. However, you should be able to always produce your form of payment upon request. That is simple.
A level 8 should know that is a violation of Apple's merchant agreement with the cardholder and a violation of Apple's own Terms. The fact that they made me pay them cash after admitting fault to my card issuer and refunding Discover falls into the coercive debt collection category and may violate money laundering laws.
1. You did not post the link to the info I requested.
2. I have absolutely no clue what a "stolen merchandise card" is. I also fail to see the significance of gift cards.
3. Level anything notwithstanding, we are all other users here. We do not work for Apple and are not privy to Apple's merchant agreement - a cardholder's agreement is with the card issuing company such as American Express, Visa, etc., not with Apple.
3. Your other accusations are inappropriate here. These are technical support forums. Hence, I will not comment further.
Your request was absurd as obv a receipt will have no meaning towards you. I'm sorry you are not privy to information that is publicly available. Merchant agreements are certainly available. You asked me a silly question- obv apple's rules do not permit what occurred in my case. I'm sorry that was confusing to you.
I know you do not work Apple. That's how obv. This is a community forum for customers to share experiences. I recently had a very costly and expensive one due to Apple security and a thief. Apple is aware of the situation and we are working on it. Calling another consumer's experience inflammatory, or whatever you said, is bizarre since you have no horse in the race. It is humorous to me that a neutral, fact based account of a recent Apple security breach would make you hysterical and angry.
If you did not create an Apple ID in the exact manner which is required for not using a credit card, you will have to enter a credit card now. That is simply how the process works. You can always remove the card after you get the cards verified. This is what you should have done.
After the the card is verified, you should be able to remove it and then just use iTunes gift cards or download free content.
Change or remove your Apple ID payment information in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
You should take a look at this one too.
MY credit card must have been verified because I used it but it ran out of money it was one of those mastercards gift card and obviously it is being denied and I can't remove it How can I remove it plz help
Did you follow these steps exactly as written here? If you did follow them, what happened when you tried this?
Use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you change your payment method to a credit card, the iTunes Store places a temporary authorization hold on your credit card to verify your updated account information.

Stolen merchandise card closed 9 days earlier, yet Los Gatos is handing out gift cards like candy.
Yes, I see you violated Sect (2)(1)(2), (2) and (3) in
submissions.
When I go to the App Store I'm required to verify payment, on fre apps but my credit card is being denied. Why do I need a credit card and how can I avoid this?
