Illegal and unauthorized charges

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Cancelled trial but charged after cancellation.
  • - Support refused removal, offered refunds instead; charge pending via Apple.

I had ordered an app with a 7-day free trial. It wasn't what I wanted, so I immediately canceled the subscription the same day.

Yet, 4 days after canceling and 3 days before the free trial was over, they tried to charge me anyway. I have called them multiple times and asked for them to remove the charge from my account as it was unauthorized and an illegal charge, and they tell me (basically, too bad) that they can't remove it even though I know they can, as they've done it before. But they tell me it's a one-time thing and can't do it again.

Instead, they keep telling me that I can pay it and request a refund and that it might hopefully get refunded. I don't understand why I should have to pay the charge and then wait 3-10 business days to hopefully get refunded when the charge should have never taken place to begin with.

Because it is on my account as a pending charge and since it's through Apple, I can't do anything with my phone. I can't download any apps, nor can I update them. I have my work app on my phone which needs updating, so therefore I can't even use my work app. So now I have to pay it or continue to lose money since I can't use my app to work.

I sent an email to the CEO with no response, and customer support is no support at all.

I tell them I want to speak to a manager and get told they will just decline talking to me as we've already told you multiple times we can't remove it. They told me to contact the app developer; I did that and they are no help because it's through the Apple platform, so they said they can't do anything on their end. Even Apple told me to contact them as they would need to be the only ones who could remove the pending charge. I've been dealing with the crap and BS runarounds for a month now and still no help or changes.

I hate Apple and I am looking into getting my Android back and never doing business with these lying, stealing con artists ever again.

Apple buyers beware that if you get an app on a free trial and cancel it, you will still most likely get charged anyway, and you have no choice but to pay it or not be able to get new or update apps. Apple sucks, and I may be contacting an attorney and suing them for lost wages and theft, as like I said, the charge is illegal and was not authorized due to the fact I canceled it with 6 more days remaining of a free trial.

And every time I've tried to contact them about this issue, they are also very rude and try to rush me off the phone, basically ignoring how I feel or the fact I say it's an unauthorized charge so it needs to be removed. They come back with, 'well, if there's nothing else I can help you with, I will end this conversation' and just change the subject or hang up/ end the call or chat on me.

They can take their 'I'm so sorry for the inconvenience; I know this is frustrating or not the answer you want to hear' and shove it.

Like, please, you don't care about how I feel or the fact that you guys are literally trying to steal my money for an app I canceled, therefore making any charges unauthorized, which is illegal. All you care about is getting me off the phone.

Loss:
$50
Cons:
  • Do not care about their customers
  • Illegally charge for cancelled apps

Preferred solution: I just want the unauthorized charge removed

User's recommendation: Beware they try to illegally charge for apps you have cancelled and then will not fix it or make it right even though they are in the wrong

I feel like instead of really being loyal to their customers and support they put bandages on what they pretend like they’re helping you with.

This iPad in which Ive since 2021 it has had to be replaced three times and I really feel like they did not send me back the original one they more or less downgraded it each time they had to replace it and when I called again just a week ago about this new sort of iPad they sent me and told him what was the problem. They take it over.

They check it out but no solution so I told them I will be contacting him again on Monday, but I waited till Tuesday about the situation. The iPad is slow the iPad overheats sometime it doesnt even come on and I just feel like Im tired of this knowing they got plenty of money. All they gotta do is give you a much better iPad.

I dont think it would break their pockets at all and this is support. *** had to deal with over and over again, I paid for my warranty never miss a beat so I need some solutions.

User's recommendation: Really check out the support team ahead of time that you’re gonna be dealing with and if Apple will also support you in issues with their products, how much do they stand behind them?

Wrong transactions made from my account

Accidentally signed up for the apps that I didn't need and I didn't know how to cancel them, so later I discovered that I had to cancel these applications. The Apple company charged me the sum of $100 something dollars. Now I am trying to get a refund. I made big mistakes several times but didn't use these apps and programs.

I am sorry!

Sincerely yours, Vasiliy Vysochin

Trade in

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Trade-in value dropped from $305 to $77; I provided proof of no damage and requested contact; offer not accepted and phone returned.
Apple - Trade in
Updated by user Jun 03, 2026

The gentleman I spoke with was wonderful but did not solve the problem.

Original review Jun 02, 2026

In a nutshell, Apple received trade-in, then sent an email informing me the value has changed from $305 to $77 due to one camera lens not working. I made 2 calls to follow up and tell them I have proof of no damage!

Please provide a link or someone to talk to to settle this matter.

I was informed I could not accept the offer and they would return the phone to me. They were not prepared, it seems, to let me show proof.

Loss:
$305
Pros:
  • Customer service are always nice to deal with
Cons:
  • Have to make many calls not good with follow up

Preferred solution: That I could show proof I have.It is their word against mine otherwise. Want the correct value of the phone for trade in.

User's recommendation: Make sure you take photos of everything and hope for the best

Hello Apple Support, I’m trying to...

Hello Apple Support,

I'm trying to purchase an Apple Watch using my Apple Account balance (about $300), but I keep getting an error saying my credit card has been declined.

The card on my account currently has no funds, but I was expecting to use my Apple Account balance for the purchase. I tried checking out on both the Apple Store app and website, but the payment still fails.

Can you please help me understand:

Why my Apple Account balance is not being applied to the purchase

How I can complete the order using my balance

What I need to fix on my account to successfully checkout

Thank you for your help.

Preferred solution: Just what to be able to use my gift card to buy my stuff normally without issues

Apple owes me a new phone

AI Highlights
  • - Phone overheated; cameras damaged in transit.
  • - 5 witnesses say cameras were damaged in transit.
  • - Since May, issues persist; I seek a replacement.

I went to Apple because my iPhone needed to be repaired because the battery was getting hot, and so they sent it out to be repaired. Prior to my phone being in shipment, they said they ran diagnostics and said everything was fine.

I was like, 'You don't believe me?' So I had them send it to get repaired to the repair people, and while being shipped, my cameras got broken. I have five witnesses saying that my cameras, when I got the pictures, were not like my grandma's on the back of my phone. They broke my cameras on the back of my phone, so now that my cameras are broken via Apple, they don't work very well anymore. I've been fighting with Apple since May because my phone started acting up after I got it back, and the problems kept persisting.

I've been fighting, like I said, since May for my phone to be repaired and stuff like that. I was told by one of the guys that if I had any problems, it was headquarters in California. The president of Apple told me that if I have any problems with my phone when I get it back from shipment, to call. I've had nothing but problems since I got it back, and none of them were caused by me.

About three weeks ago, my phone wasn't even hot; my whole screen flickered. Before I sent it out to be repaired, it never did that, and now it's doing it. It happened twice about three weeks ago: one day it happened, and the next day it happened again.

Now my phone is not acting right since my whole screen flickered twice, and like I said, it hasn't done that before I had it sent out to be repaired the first time. So Apple basically broke my phone, and they owe me a phone.

Pros:
  • I like the iphones
Cons:
  • But apple repair people suck because they like to break peoples phones

Preferred solution: My phone replaced because apple is the one who broke it

User's recommendation: Never send your phone to be repaired

I would just like to start by saying that I have never been a true Apple believer until April 14. Unfortunately, on this day, my home was lost due to a house fire. I was convinced that my phone, iPods, and iPad were completely lost. To our surprise and the fire department's surprise, the Apple equipment mentioned above was found with scorch marks. This message is being written with the new iPhone 17. I have a photo where the phone was located; the phone is not shown in the photo.

I want to add that all the equipment didn’t just go through the fire, but also through the water hoses of the fire department.

This phone was my only lifeline to my family, and I want to say thank you for your product.

P.S. The *** was at the same charging station.

Pros:
  • Survived a five alarm fire
