Hi I recently moved from the UK and my card from there is no longer on use. But everytime I try to change my region or put a new billing card it’s refusing me to do that. I’m really getting frustrated because now I can’t download new apps.

Note: Phone Calls are Currently a Wait:
Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, phone calls are taking a lot longer than usual. So, take this up with Apple, despite how long it may take to get on the phone. But, that makes sense because with many out of work, and many home from school, phone calls will likely take a while to go through — so, just stay on the line. Ask the Apple Rep — they’ll see this and will run you through the fix :)
