Living @ home and hating it

Good luck with the £67. It's all psychologicial but it means so much doesn't it!

Thanks Kerry and Little Boots, it would be great to see it under £2k !!

Had my mobile direct debit come out today. (usually £90 per month including £45 for ex-partner)

Anyway they debited nearly £108. I logged into my mobile account to see that my ex has made a few long calls to a couple of 0845/0870 type numbers. Having googled these numbers I see that they relate to utility companies etc

I am guessing that the ex has a new flat away from the parents/ lovenest.

Can you get the phone blocked?

I am not sure. This is the first time the bill has been over the £45 contract cost. I might get a mutual friend to have a word. I do not want to get into an argument as we have a lot of mutual friends and have kept things pleasant so far.

I was told I could phone Orange and report the phone "lost" and the replacement SIM would be sent to me. He would keep the Iphone but would have to get a SIM from somewhere and I would simply pay off the remaining months of the contract. Think I might get the mutual friend to explain this possibility to him.

That's rubbish about the phonebill . Why doesn't he pay it?

Well he has never been all that great with money. I bought it in my name as his finances were a little chaotic and I thought we were in love. It is pretty much my responsibility as it is in my name.

I have not really spoken to him about it since I found out he had found someone else and was leaving. We have simply exchanged pleasantries at social events. Lesson learned.

It's horrible isn't it, I have a c card with exs debt on it but he pays it thankfully

Why don't you phone the provider and ask them to drop it to the lowest tariff and put a block on it going over. By all means let him know that's your plan but it's not up for discussion unless he pays I'd say.

I would tell him before I did anything as his mum is ill and I would hate to have it cut right off. I think I need to stop him running up a bill every month though both for financial and personal reasons. (it makes me MAD!!)

There's nothing stopping him picking up a payg sim, there's lots of good deals out there with free calls/texts etc
Hope I'm not sounding too harsh, I know how hard it is to stop caring
