    Yepp but because I posted another question relating to the theft of some money via bank card, some idiots decided to refer to this in try and indicate my son was/is responsible.

    Yepp, maybe I was being naive. My son didn't intend to lose the phone nor did he intend to be made redundant at 19 years of age. Had he kept his job he would have maintained the payments. Sadly, unlike some, we wouldn't welcome the opportunity to appear on Jeremy Kyle :)

    Didnt have to get an expensive phone though

    But he clearly did intend to commit fraud by applying in your name, and he did intend to stop paying for the phone once he lost it. Neither of those actions were accidental. I can understand why as a parent you were prepared to take the rap for him, even with the very serious implications for your own credit history, but defending his actions as somehow unintentional seems to be devotion beyond the call of duty.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Don't forget there's the issue of the money that's gone missing form the OP's account.
