Hello Guys, Had this problem for over a month now and tried at least 7 different payment methods. Was able to resolve by updating my payment details using a dollar debit card on my apple ID, sending a mail to devprograms@apple.com and asking that they charge my account in that order. I got a response in about 2 to 3 days and was told not to retry the transaction and that i would be contacted by a support staff. I must say the support staff (Stephanie) assigned to me was a joy to work with and she got it resolved less than 24 hours of contacting me. My account has now been restored. Guys please try this method. I understand the frustration we are all feeling. from Nigeria.
