    All you can try is the contact via the app in Play store .

    https://play.google.com/store

    Check the click through for details as well as hidden charges or upfront charges .


    How old is your son .

    You can buy a Google Play Gift card to use .
    That has a limit of whatever you choose .
    Sold at many outlets supermarkets etc .

    Delete a Card

    Sign in to your account at https://wallet.google.com/manage.
    Click Payment methods along the left side of the page.
    Click delete next to the card information that you'd like to remove.
    Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j
  • I'm sure you need a card to use Google Play in general, but I may be wrong. While some apps charge you money to buy them there are also a lot of "free" apps that will charge for purchases made within them. Perhaps this concept should maybe be explained to your son to prevent something like this happening again. What did he get for the £40?
