Always asks for verification to download free apps

Help..I have an IPad 3G IOS 8.4 and lately When I have an update or want to download a free app. It tells me " Verification Required"

WHich in turn prompts to the credit card info.. Why is this doing this... It wasn't like this before..Every week I have to go purchase a prepaid Visa just to get my updates which should be free...I don't know what to do..

Otherwise, you could try creating a new Apple ID that does not have a payment method associated with it.

The instructions for how to do that are here:

Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…
