I just starting getting this error late at night. I had just bought 2 new games that were only about 6 bucks in total and then when i tried to make a third purchase this error popped up. My debit card has about $500 in it and yet this error happened. Anyone still having this issue? I need a fix soon or I will get pissed off very quickly

The only way to fix this is to call google support. They do a one time fix. It does not last. Managed to get one payment through after they said they fixed it. Noe im stuck with the same problem ad before.

The same thing occurred to me yesterday. Had to finally call their support and after 1 hour on the line, they removed the error from my account. But one purchase later and it's back again! More and more people will have to keep complaining to google until they finally fix their crap.

I read about this one, Google says that you should cover some steps to troubleshoot

Hi,
Some of the complainants who got in touch with support shared that it happened because their accounts were suspended. Thereafter, support unflagged their account, but that offered only a temporary relief. After making a payment or two the problem/error bounced back again.

Google made aware
Looking at the proliferation of reports, one of the Google forum Top Contributors escalated the matter, soon after which came a response from a Google employee. They suggested the affected users to troubleshoot, informing that the error is related to rejected transactions.

Here’s what they said:

This DF-BA-PDRC-14 error message is related to rejected transactions. Please try the troubleshooting steps below if you are experiencing this issue.

I made a new account to try and see if it's affecting new accounts as well as select other accounts. Using a $10 gift card I was able to buy 2 apps under $1 and a .99 cent in app purchase, but wasn't able to purchase anything larger without the message "An error occurred. please try again. [DF-BA-PDRC-14] ". This is a terribly inconvenient bug in the play store that basically locks people out of their Google balance and from purchasing things on sale or in apps during events, and needs to be sorted out the sooner the better.
