child spending money on playstation.

missym00

Hi my 8 year old son has spent £245 in 3 hours on my brother-in-law's credit card, which we didn't know that his details were on the system. Can I get a refund for him or do I have to pay. Please help. Thanks

Sounds like you BIL problem and not yours. Silly fool for leaving them live in the system.

That's what we think to be honest plus the brother in law never put a password against his details.

I don't think BIL should have to password protect his own machine.
Who was supervising the child?


I think you should pay, not the BILs fault is it.

I agree. Its your child, so your responsibility to pay.

Its our playstation, we didn't know he put his details on. We dont put our credit card details on for this exact reason.

You wont be able to get a refund. Looks like you'll have to pay your brother on law.

Ha ha, some posters do jump to conclusions without knowing the facts . . .

Why? Seems he was very careless with his CC . . .

It's your BIL's problem. He put details on your machine without your knowledge or permission.

As your BIL has chosen to put his cc details on your equipment then I think it is up to him to pay the bill as I'm sure it states in the terms and conditions of the card that it is the owner of the card to ensure details kept safe.

I guess if you wanted to be kind you could go halves. It to be honest don't see why you should as the reason you purposely don't add your details to the machine is so your child doesn't spend especially as he was too lazy to add a password.

Does the child not understand that you do not spend someone else's money without asking? The person that spent the money should be paying the bill, it should be taken from his pocket money until paid off.
