Catalogue

Barbandmick1

My daughter runs a catalogue .a so called friend had a phone from it costing £1000 ..and now is refusing to pay .the catalogue company are saying this is now my daughters debt as she brought the phone under her own account but it was under the customers name and address.. my daughter can’t afford to pay this

If it was purchased under your daughter's account she has an agreement with the catalogue company to pay for the phone.

Her friend then has an agreement to pay your daughter for the phone. 

So your daughter will have to pay the catalogue for the phone and then send a letter before action in the post to her friends address, followed by small claims to reclaim the money her friend owes.

Hopefully your daughter has something (texts, emails, social media messages) stating the agreement to buy the phone so the friend can't turn around and say it was a gift.

Exactly as above.  It's your daughter's debt to pay and then her responsibility to try and recover the money from her friend.

Best bet in this instance would be to check the contract. Both to see if it makes clear she's liable and also to review whether it might amount ot a contract of employment
