Apple took $49 out of my account and refused to give me a refund. I desperately need this money for my medical treatment. It was charged for the Muse app, despite the fact that I canceled the trial subscription straight away! What can I do to return my money now?

Original Title: Apple took my money!!

First did you follow the correct procedure to cancel the subscription and you cancelled it more than 24 hours before the deadline? See how to actually cancel a subscription, which if not followed, you may not have cancelled the subscription as it should have been done --> Cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support

Next, this is a user to user only forum, not Apple Support. If you have requested a refund and were refused, no one on this user only forum can do anything about being refused a refund. This link explains how to ask for a refund, but understand only Apple can approve a refund --> Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support

Hello~ At this point …having been denied a refund you can contact Apple…

Contact Apple Support - Apple Support

Remember refunds are never guaranteed.
