I cannot remove update or download free apps because it keeps saying there is a billing problem with a previous purchase. It is driving me crazy!

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

It sounds like there is an issue with your payment method. If the support article doesn't help you resolve it, you could try to contact Apple. Go to the GetSupport page, click on View Your Products, then click on App Store.
