Microsoft agree to reverse the charges

Well done them for making up for your son's misuse of your credit card.

but Tesco.... guess what... INCREASED THE LIMIT

You can refuse an increased limt, of even ask for it to be reduced.

issued another card (to try and give me control of the account again)

excellent, that's what you wanted them to do.

but NO WAY WILL REQUEST CHARGE REVERSAL FROM Microsoft.

Why should they? Microsoft have sorted the situation out so Tesco are no longer liable. The CC company should only be liable when all approaches to the retailer have failed.

If you don't like holding an investment that is exposed to that risk then I suggest you sell your shares.

Good luck trying to get money back from a bank when you have been grossly negligent in allowing a 12 year old access to your credit card, you might as well write the pin number on the back.

I really am not that much interested in the petty fogging legalities of an over governed country.
However I am seriously worried about the future for your young man, who does not seem to understand the difference between right and wrong.

I will leave it there as I obviously don't personally know anything about the lad, but I do speak as a "taxi" driver who was once upon a time part of a team that had to ferry pupils back and forward to the modern equivalent of an approved school. I would definitely subscribe to the idea that 15 year boys are a bit like dogs: there are no bad dogs only bad owners..
