For nearly a month now, £5.49 has been taken out of my account like every week and I don’t know where it is coming from. I’ve checked my subscriptions and they are all inactive. I try to refund it and it doesn’t show. Someone help me I’ve checked everywhere and I can’t find where this is coming from.

Tap on Report a problem on the invoice.


Or try to ->  Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple.

Hello yocruzzz,


Everything should be listed here - reportaproblem.apple.com.


Are you the organizer of a Family Share with Payment Sharing enabled? If so, is someone else in your Family Share buying something? When Purchase Sharing is enabled, all purchases made by anyone in the Family Share group go to the shared default payment method (which by default is the organizer's default payment method for their Apple ID).


When visiting reportaproblem.apple.com, if you're the organizer, you should see an Apple ID section where you can see what other members are buying. Verify no one has a weekly subscription for £5.49.


Follow this to request refund - Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support.
