I have a “ There’s a Billing problem” whenever I download apps

So I’ve been having this issue for YEARS. I get an error saying “there’s a billing issue” and when I fix it… it waits for a. Few seconds and TAKES ME BACK SAYING THE SAME THING. Help me please

I've also been having an issue saying “there’s an active subscription” BUT WHEN I CHECK THERE IS NO ACTIVE SUBCRITION and NEITHER HAVE I BEEN GETTING CHARGED!! What is this?? I can’t download apps nor update for them.

there’s a app I payed for and I can’t even update it because of this glitch.

AND ALSO WHEN I REMOVE THE INVALID CARD, THE APP WONT STOP ADDING IT BACK!!

Yes I pressed continue, and updated everything , but it just puts me back to the “billing error” issue to type it all over again.

I’ve done most of these methods and they are NOT helpful, I removed and then added a new payment method and then I check later the payment method giving me issues has been added back??

Tap Continue and sign in to view ‘your’ billing information.

Sign in to your Apple ID account page and edit / update your Apple ID details -> https://appleid.apple.com

On the Sidebar click Payment methods -> then tap Payments Methods and tap Manage payment method.

See also the following Apple articles:

Resolve a problem with your payment method

If your payment method has expired, declined or failed, or a message says "There is a Billing Problem with a Previous Purchase"

Remove a payment method from your Apple ID

If you can't remove a payment method

If you have subscriptions like iCloud+, have an unpaid balance, or you use purchase sharing, you must keep at least one payment method on file.

Do you have a subscription? You can cancel iCloud+ and cancel other subscriptions from Apple. When your subscription period is over, remove your payment method.
If you're in a Family Sharing group and you use purchase sharing, the family organizer must have a payment method on file. If you're the family organizer, turn off purchase sharing, then remove the payment method.
If you have an unpaid balance, you might not be able to remove a payment method. Instead, change your payment method.
👉 If you still can't remove a payment method, contact Apple Support.

Just let us edit the payment details. I've been resetting the password on all of my apple devices and now to top it off I can't get my password to work on my watch b/c it has a special character. Cool. Thanks Apple. /s
