Apple ID

I can’t download apps or update the apps on my Apple ID. Anytime I try to, it keeps saying “There’s a payment problem with a family members previous purchase” or it just redirects me to my own payment info. Anytime I had a card, it declines it. I’ve added over 5 different cards. Yet it’s still the same. How I can I go about it?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

Apple payment issues So recently my card was used for fraud some how. And this issue just stated happening right after I got my new card. I added my new card to my wallet and it was working fine. I am in a shared family plan with my parents and brother for Apple Music etc. every time I go into the AppStore to download an app or update and app, I get a error message saying “There is a billing problem with a family member's previous purchase. Ask the family organizer to update their billing information.” Does anyone or has anyone had this problem? If so how can I fix it.

Can’t add card to Apple ID payment method I recently had to cancel my debit card due to fraudulent activity and finally received my new one. When I went to update my payment information so that I could download apps again it would not let me add, remove, or edit my payment information. It let me add the new card to my Apple wallet but not my id. I added a family members card to see if it just needed to pay for a outstanding debt and it work, as it it charged that card 99 cents for something and finally let me remove my old card, but it still won’t let me add my new card or remove my family members card. Is there anything else I can do
