    Surely the only solution to this mess is for you to go to court and put your case before the judge. It would make a most satisfying afternoon in court for most parties, especially any observers.

    I, for one, would relish the opportunity to see justice served and this nasty man get what he deserves. Kmc, please do let us know when/if this makes it to court. You could have a posse of MSE "supporters" there to bear witness.

    Why was the contract in your sister's name? Is it because you have a poor credit rating due to not paying monies owed previously?

    The BF will soon be your Sis's family, when they marry. Will it be okay for her to take his side then?

    Will you still go to the wedding?
    Are you a bridesmaid?
    Will you find it in you to swallow your offended pride and turn up for the free booze n food at the reception?
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    He should just be the nice guy he is and not demand repayment.

    What about you being the nice person and starting by paying back the £15 excess which he is out of pocket by and talking about getting him a replacement phone he is happy with. If you had been nice to him from the start and paid what you said it is more likely he would be (and maybe still will be) nicer about the second phone and accept a lesser model.

    I think he should grow up and drop it.

    As for growing up! Grown ups should acknowledge when they are at fault and try to work towards a solution.

    The thread reminds me of that thread that was started a few months ago where the daughter refused to pay more rent to her mum, the 2 OP's sound as though they are both 17/18 year olds

    What thread was that!?

    It was in the Marriages and Relationships forum - 23 year old (I think) who felt her mum was 'scamming' her for asking for money towards rent and bills when the mum lost her job. The OP in this case didn't think she had any responsibility (whilst living at home, for free!) to pay towards rent or bills because it was her mum's mortgage, not hers! She thought her mum was scamming her by asking for something in the region of £200 a month. Mum had lost her job and was struggling, and was feeding two adult kids at home!! :eek:

    It wasn't enough that the poster felt she had no responsibility, she actually thought she was being scammed!!

    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".

    OMG :eek: How rude!
    A friend of mine and her sister live at home with their mother and she lost her job and found it hard to find others, so they had been paying off the mortage and bills themselves from the age of 18, now the mother is in work they can split it between them, but not only does the mother feel bad about it, the kids refuse their mother to pay them back - decent people :)
    :beer: Thank you to everyone! :beer:

    explain it to me then, She should side with her family whats wrong with that?


    Why should she side with someone who is a lying, deceitful, morally bankrupt idiot, just because she's unfortunate enough to share the same genes as you?

    You lost one phone that didn't belong to you and sold another. Selling goods that don't belong to you is known as resetting. resetting stolen goods.

    If you had any moral compass, you'd pony up the cash you owe, or at the very least (as you think he's wanting more than you think it's worth) LEGALLY source an identical phone and give that back to him instead.

    Oh what a giggle.....unfortunately though, there are people who do actually think like this!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
