Charged Twice Because Two Accounts Exist — Why Duplicate Accounts Cause Double Billing

2월 12, 2026 by dodonestory

You checked your bank statement.

The same service charged you twice.

At first, it looked like a billing error.

But support said both charges were valid.

This usually means two separate accounts exist under your identity.

How Double Billing Happens

  • You signed up using email first
  • Later, you logged in via Google / Apple
  • The system created a second account
  • Each account holds its own subscription

Because billing is account-based, both accounts can be charged independently.


Common Signs of Duplicate Billing Accounts

  • Two invoices with different account IDs
  • Subscriptions visible in only one login method
  • Different signup dates in account settings
  • Support confirms two active profiles

This confirms the issue is duplication — not payment failure.


How to Stop the Double Charges

  • Identify both accounts via login methods
  • Cancel subscription on the unused account
  • Request account merge if supported
  • Remove stored payment methods from duplicates

Do not rely on app deletion — billing continues server-side.


Can You Get a Refund?

  • Possible if duplication was unintentional
  • Depends on platform refund policy
  • Proof of duplicate ownership helps approval

Contact support before disputing via bank.

Chargebacks may suspend both accounts.
