How to stop apple.com bill pay to stop taking large amounts out of my account with out my permission or purchase!

All these expensive subscriptions keep getting paid with my debit card but I didn’t buy them use them or even know what they are. No one else uses my phone so I believe it’s apple. The first one was $99.99!! And there is also a charge for $14.03

Hello,


The support article "If you see 'apple.com/bill' on your billing statement" explains how you can check your purchase history, cancel subscriptions, request refunds, and track possible sources of unrecognized Apple charges you may see on a bill. These may be purchases by family members if you are an organizer of a Family Sharing group, or possibly a second Apple ID you use. The article also provides a specific link for contacting Apple if you cannot trace the source of charges. Click on this link to read this article --> https://support.apple.com/HT201382


Other possibilities to consider (not all may apply in your situation):

- Small amounts of ~$1 may be an authorization hold that will be refunded (pending charge -> https://support.apple.com/HT201292 ).

- Purchases can be made with your ID if your Apple ID is compromised (what to do -> https://support.apple.com/HT204145 ) or somebody else has access to your device (require purchase password --> https://support.apple.com/HT204030 ).

- If you only see a charge in emails that are not official Apple receipts, it is likely phishing attempts ( https://support.apple.com/HT204759 ).

- If you are absolutely certain neither you, nor Apple, nor a Family Sharing member can account for a charge and it ONLY appears on a bill for a charge card you alone control, you may have been the victim of card fraud. Contact your financial institution.


If a purchase is listed in your purchase history and you want to ask for a refund, read this document about how to 'Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple' --> https://support.apple.com/HT204084


or click on this link to proceed directly to 'Report a Problem' for requesting a refund --> https://reportaproblem.apple.com/?s=6


Realize Apple's terms of purchase for most countries are effectively, "All Transactions are final" (check terms at: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html ). Apple does refund on a case by case basis, but they can also refuse.
