So on the one that you changed go into iTunes, go to the iTunes Store, login to your changed account and click on your purchase history.
If it does not show a purchase history, notify the people at the iTunes Store:

How do I keep getting charged for free apps

Hi I keep getting charged for downloading free game apps for my son. Why is this
I've been charged about £33.00 now for all different games that are ment to be free

It sounds like your son made in app purchases. These are very common with free games.
The games themselves are free, but the app developers offer in app purchases in order to add enhancements or add levels, and things like that. Stay away from those "free" games or read the app description carefully. The prices for in app purchases are listed on the left side of the app description page under the app icon.
You can turn off in app purchases in Settings>General>Restrictions. Or you can instruct your son to not make any purchases without your knowledge. In all fairness to your son .. Since I have no idea how old he is .... He may not even realize that he did make purchases .... Except for the fact that you have to enter your Apple ID password in order to make those purchases.

mi ipod touch app store keeps sending me to the billing information for free apps

You get a receipt for everything, free or not. Check the receipts and see what they say; I'll wager that they'll show no charge.
As to credit card verification, that's normal whenever you have a credit card entered. Apple, due to the increased problems with fraud, is requiring more regular verification of cards, even if you're not purchasing anything with a cost associated. If it's saying that your security code is wrong and you're sure you're entering it in correctly, make sure that the name and address information match the same information on your credit card statement exactly. Any difference can cause such a rejection.
Regards.

HT3702 Itunes charged for free app download (Update).

Itunes charged for free app download (Update). No clue why this happened. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem?

If you mean the temporary store holding charge, as described on the page that you posted from, then that is only temporary, it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
That 'charge' is made each time that you change your card details to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account.
If you mean a 'proper' charge, and it appears on your purchase history and on your credit card, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I keep getting charged for free games

I am always trying to get charged for free games??

Are you asking this because your Apple ID password is requested before downloading the free game?
Downloading any app requires the password. Also required is a payment method filed with Apple. For free apps, games included, you will not be charged.

Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store?

In case we need to create free issues or even apps for iPad (from a non-profit organization), what will the incurred costs be through the whole process?
i.e. From the time of development of issues and the app in which the issues may work - is there any registration or license fees involved, till it reaches all customers - provided the package is for free?
Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store for iOS apps for iPad?

You must pay the USD$99 fee to join the Individual Developer Program.
After that, there is no fee to put free apps into the iOS App Store.

Charged for free apps?

Hi I just got a blackberry curve and was just wondering, if I download free apps, will I still get charged for data or anything? I'm with Koodo and on my plan I have unlimited facebook, bbm, twitter, etc. but nothing for web browsing or anything like that so I just want to make sure I don't get charged for it

If you're not paying for a data plan you'll probably get charged for data not included in the plan you have.
So, be careful.

I think I'm being charged for free apps?

Hi...I'm wondering, if there is any such thing as someone being charged to for free apps? I've been looking at my banking statements for the past few months & it looks like I'm being charged for apps that I downloaded for free. I recently lost my credit card & had to get a new one. When, I changed my credit card information on Itunes, that's when I noticed I was being charged. I often download music on Itunes & upload my magazines to my Ipad,but these aren't only things I'm being charged for. Most of the apps I download are the free ones. It makes me not want to update my apps, because I know I'm charged. Please help me!

I have solved the problem I was showing negative balance in my bank so iTunes needs to verify my account by taking £1.00 every app.

TS1424 Charged for free app

On 06/08/12 I was charged for an app that had said free (the app is accoustic ruler.) what is going on apple?

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. Did you make an in-app purchase in it, or did you add/amend your credit card details on your account ? If you changed your card details then is it $1 - if so then it's probably a holding charge which should disappear with a few days.
I can only see an Acoustic Ruler Pro which is a paid-for app (?)

IOS6 still asks for password for free App updates

I thought free App updates are supposed to install without requiring my app store password to be re-entered, yet my iPad 2 still asks me for it each time. (my iPhone 4 is fine, free updates install without asking for my password). What am I missing here? Is there some weird hidden away setting I need to configure on my iPad?
Thx

My iPad 3 running iOS 6 doesn't ask me for a password if I update Apps.
I don't think that I have any weird setting set.
