How to resolve Visa card verification failure for Apple Account debt settlement?

I had a debt on my apple account. Couple of days ago I tried settling the outstanding debt using my Visa card but the security verification keep failing. I’ve contacted my bank but it’s not working. I can download apple support for help. All attempts have failed. Any help please?
