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.
