Unrecognized person in control of family plan

I just got notified of unauthorized purchases on my account (good thing my credit card info had expired). I went to my account and noticed someone I don't recognize on the Family Sharing. Here is the text showing on my account: "The payment method for your Family is managed by *********." I do not know this person and this is obviously a hack. Both on my iPhone and Mac the Family Sharing is not enabled. Has anyone had this happen to them? I have changed my password but I don't want to keep this person on any Family Sharing.

I have tried your suggestions and when I go to:

  • On an iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap Family.
  • On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click iCloud, then click Manage Family.

The Family share is dimmed out so I am NOT a part of a Family sharing group.

I also have changed my passwords and setup additional security options, but that does not solve the fact that this person has me on their family plan. This is NO ONE I know. I have checked with all my family and friends.

I want this person removed from any association from my account. None of the material on this site tells me how to remove someone.
