    It is VERY UNLIKELY that you will receive your order, because the credit check will show no record of you on the electoral register.

    I have told my parents about the problem. I have also decided to rip up and bin my top up card so I wont be tempted to do anything like this again. Thank you for helping me realise the seriousness of the matter.

    Ryanski,

    Well done for telling your parents about the problem.
    You have just learned an important lesson about credit and money and I am sure that you will not be so silly again.

    Don't be too hard on yourself though. You have to learn about money at some stage and 14 seems as good an age as any. The top-up credit card scheme has limits in place to stop you from getting into serious debt, so if you think you can trust yourself to be more sensible next time - why not keep the card?

    Just think very carefully before you buy and why not discuss your plans with your parents before you commit yourself?

    Take care,

    well done for telling your parents i did look into what i said it cant be transfered to your parents but the law now give the rights to companys that they can hold the debt until you are old enough to repay it which would mean a v large debt to start of your adult life with im sure you dont want that
