Steps
- Identify the billing system first. If the receipt is from Apple, use reportaproblem.apple.com and choose Request a refund. If it is from Google Play, use Google Play's refund flow or the purchase history tied to the same Google Account.
- Write a short timeline: purchase time, when you noticed the problem, whether you canceled, whether coins or episodes were delivered, and every later charge. Keep the timeline factual and use local dates.
- Attach proof that connects the payment to the app account: store receipt, order ID, bank descriptor, app account email or user ID, coin balance before/after, locked episode screen, error message, and support thread.
- For Google Play, distinguish accidental purchases by someone using your account from purchases you did not make. Google says unknown unauthorized Google Play charges should be reported within 120 days.
- For a credit card dispute in the United States, contact the card issuer quickly and send a written billing error notice within 60 calendar days after the statement with the charge was sent, as CFPB and FTC explain.
- Avoid mixing requests. Ask for one outcome per message: refund, stop renewal, restore coins, unlock episodes, or explain the charge. If rejected, reply with the missing evidence rather than starting a new thread.
