problem updating billing info for iCloud storage

Apple has sent for the 3rd time this month saying I have a billing problem for iCloud storage and asking me to update the billing information. I have done this several times. It then says: 'a family member has already purchased this subscription. You get it for free.' but then sends another email days later asking for payment again but refusing it. That message also says something about new EU law meaning the bank has to validate in some way - but my bank doesn't know what they're talking about. Help please - I don't want to lose all my photos. They are not showing that they've taken the payment for September - they did in July and August.

I was not but have now established it. I managed to re install my iCloud storage on my phone - wouldn't work on computer. Have added my husband to family. He paid a few weeks ago and is now having similar problems to mine - so hopefully now all sorted. Apple seems a bit muddled on this. I'm now abroad for a month so won't be able to respond. Many thanks for the support.
