in Credit cards
I signed up to itunes and reg my capital one card. I also had a £10 itunes voucher which I added. I have only watched a free film so my purchase history shows no chargeable downloads but they have charged cc £1.58?? I view it as fraud and have emailed them.
Anyone else known?

Slightly off topic but still on topic sort of
.
Itunes(APPLE)were found guilty of overcharging people from the UK compared to those in Europe by the EU government.£0-79p per song here, £0-69 p per song in Belgium etc, given that they were told to cut their prices to UK !!!!!! have they INCREASED some prices to £0-99P per song, any ideas anyone???????0 -
i've just had the same problem.
i've used a newly registered credit card with iTunes (O2 Money) and bought a £0.59 app. However, they took £1.58 plus £1.58 plus £1.00 from the card £4.16 in total). There's no £0.59 showing.
the iTunes account says £0.59.
O2 Money say it's not their problem, call iTunes.
what's happening here?0 -
iTunes and o2 money combined is weird!!!
£1.58 test purchase @ the registration of your card.
The o2 money purchase texts messages amounts are often different (higher) I.e 32p v £1.00 and £1.89 v £2.36. AND
Some purchases are not text @ the time and can take 2 weeks to
appear.
I could go overdrawn!!!!
Wonder what is going on???0
