Subscription

I subscribed to what I thought was a 7 day free trial on May 12($29.99 after it ends), only for there to be an immediate charge attempt on my locked card and a full month of the subscription.. even though I never paid for anything. ‘Cancelling’ the subscription didn’t help, and I can’t get a refund since I never paid any money. The billing problem has left me unable to update or redownload apps. Should I just pay the $30 and apply for a refund, or there something I could to solve this?

The system will want you to properly pay for the item and then request a refund.


Confirm you have canceled any subscription automatic renewal (if you simply delete an app this does not cancel subscriptions):


Review the information in this support article by clicking on the link to learn how to cancel a subscription from Apple. ➔ If you want to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support

• "If you signed up for a free or discounted trial subscription and you don't want to renew it, cancel it at least 24 hours before the trial ends."

• An existing subscription will normally continue until the end of its term and may then renew automatically. Stopping automatic renewal is effectively canceling it. "If you don’t see Cancel Subscription, then the subscription is already canceled and won't renew." The "Expires" date means the current subscription will just run until then.

• Read the article to see what to do about subscriptions that do not appear in your list. If you still can't find a subscription, contact Apple Support using the link at the end of the support article.

• Canceling a subscription does not automatically start a refund.
