    he lent it to you as he trusted you,
    To go Thailand with my boyfriend.

    Its only £15 he can take that loss, as for the other phone things get lost why can't he see that

    so why not pay for thailand yourself out of your own money and not the proceeds from selling phones that dont belong to you

    you could have sorted this out by agreeing to pay your sisters bf back,

    what does you sister think of this,

    Why on earth would the dozy bint do that, her sister will soon have a new [STRIKE]mug[/STRIKE] boyfriend who is legally obliged to bail out KMC and contribute towards their holiday.

    The mind boggles as to what sort of guy the father would approve of as a suitable husband to the less evil of his off spring

    Your story is full of holes and inconsistencies. You are a student and don't have the money - but you sold a Blackberry to help save up for a trip to Thailand. You say he's a nice guy then that you think your sister should split up with him. You lie to him:
    I told him I posted it back to him but really I sold it.


    And your parents are making your sister side with you otherwise she can never, ever enter the family home again? He sounds like a nice guy who tried to help you out. You were irresponsible, you've lied to him, and behaved fraudulently and are refusing to compensate him. So now you and your parents are turning against him and using your sister as a weapon.

    Sounds like he's better off not being a part of your family. Your poor sister.

    If I may imagine the other side...

    I kindly registered my girlfriend's sister's phone on my insurance and when it broke she said she would pay the excess if I would claim.
    She asked for an upgrade but the insurance would only give out the same model as the broken one (not under my control).
    She then refused to pay the excess where she said she would as she hadn't got the upgrade she wanted - so I asked for the phone back and she claimed it got lost in the post - I am pretty sure she is lying and has sold it or kept it. This annoys me but I can let it go.
    Now she has 'lost' the phone I lent her. Well, this is the final straw as I can't be sure she hasn't sold this one too. She owes me a phone or the money over time to learn to be an adult and accept responsibility for her actions. It is far larger than any present I would usually give her anyway- a decades worth of both Christmas and birthdays.
    Now she is refusing to even pay for the lost phone little by little - apparently I am expected to pay for her holiday to Thailand and this is more important than family relationships. She says I could get a replacement phone much cheaper, why doesn't she offer to buy me the same model phone so cheaply and give that to me? Or offer me whatever snazzy new phone she has and use a basic £20 model herself? Or grovel and see if I will go back to my original kind offer to pay it off bit by bit.

    Had the whole of their cash in his care.
