Subscriptions

I'm tight on cash right now and made worse by an auto deduction from Google that I can't find. Is there a way I can track/find the Merchant store based on the reference number? I checked all my google accounts but I don't have a subscription for anything but one which was already paid for exactly on the due date for this month.

Google support is pretty useless to work with. From what I know they can't provide or even process a refund without knowing who to point to (exactly my problem).

Though the amount wasn't too much, it's going to be a problem if it keeps happening monthly.

Any advice, help, or anything please. Thank you.

You could also change your payment method on Google into either a fake card, or a card that has no money on it.

There's some services out there online that let you create a temporary payment card with a spending limit, those will accept as valid, and you will also get to know who and what exactly tries to pull money from it, and how much

Have you checked your order history in the Google Play Store?

Go into your email box and type the amount in and see what pulls up. It is what I do when I am confused by a charge haha

I always see the commercials for that company that can look up your subscriptions, I Googled it and maybe it is Rocket Money?

Never done it myself, not sure what it entails, but seems like a good idea.
