So, Merry Christmas to me - we found out yesterday that Dave's 19yo son has a **$3,000** cell phone bill - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:11 67
- Oh man -- nm - ty97 Dec 27, 07:41
- I know that feeling all to well andie. - groiny Dec 27, 07:20
- So at 19 he was able to get a phone and a credit card without a co-signer? - CovingtonCat Dec 27, 06:32 4
  - I had a credit card at 18. I bought my first VCR with it! -- nm - David Dec 27, 06:34 2
    - me too. it only had a $500 limit on it though. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:34 1
      - Anyone remember W.T. Grant? That was my first card. Got a TV with it. I think the limit was $250. -- nm - CovingtonCat Dec 27, 06:38
  - nope, it's all on him. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:32
- [deleted]
- Yikes -- nm - JaxSean Dec 27, 06:26
- Whoa. -- nm - kelly Dec 27, 06:19
- ooof. - znufrii Dec 27, 06:17 54
  - oh, he has a job. but, it pays so little and he has an apartment, it will take forever. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:17 53
    - (we aren't bailing him out though - we are giving him zero gifts for Christmas and a cheque for the equivalent amount. Made out to the cell company.) -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:20 50
      - does he have a plan for paying the rest and/or dealing with the credit card yet? -- nm - Diva Dec 27, 06:22 46
        
        we made him call, they want it paid in full (with current charges kept up to date) by Feb 12th. - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:26 45
        
        He's not the first kid who picked the wrong plan and racked up a bill. I didn't even think plans let you have a smart phone without a data plan. - TFox Dec 27, 07:51 8
        
        You can get plans here without data (clearly) but that means you have to be just a tiny bit responsible about how you use your phone. - Shaun Dec 27, 08:10 2
        
        Or always use wi-fi, correct? -- nm - mara Dec 27, 08:13 1
        
        Indeed! :) -- nm - Shaun Dec 27, 08:14
        
        yeah, I would not want to kill his credit for the next 7 years due to this. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 27, 07:57
        
        think of the collection agency hell he would go through if he walked away. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 07:53 3
        
        I know, but I doubt it would come to that, because most people who make this mistake can't/won't pay it. - TFox Dec 27, 08:01 2
        
        it would be worth a shot to at least attempt this, I agree. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 27, 08:07 1
        
        we told him to call and negotiate and he got nowhere, we will have to try, but we need to actually see a bill to do so. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 08:08
        
        Out of curiosity...or what? What if he doesn't pay it in full by Feb 12? - Jim Dec 27, 07:10 10
        
        they'll cut him off if he doesn't pay i expect. then he'll get stuck buying out his contract on top of it. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 07:11 9
        
        Jesus...he has a $3000 bill and he still has service?!?! I kinda assumed that it was already shut off. Good lord. -- nm - Jim Dec 27, 07:15 2
        
        "keep texting, lil buddy!" nm -- nm - groiny Dec 27, 08:10
        
        nope. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 07:20
        
        Sounds about right. (He should also change his plan (if he can) so he doesn't rack up more.) -- nm - JaxSean Dec 27, 07:12
        
        yup, plus probably report him to a collection agency -- nm - decline Dec 27, 07:12 4
        
        or a credit reporting agency at least -- nm - znufrii Dec 27, 07:30
        
        Nah...not if he's paying a decent amount every month. No one wants to hand over free money to an agency. -- nm - Jim Dec 27, 07:16
        
        That was my introduction to the real world. Credit card and student loans went into default. - JaxSean Dec 27, 07:13 1
        
        ooof. -- nm - znufrii Dec 27, 07:14
        
        6 months? An extra $500 a month? If he is that tight on cash, that will be very difficult. -- nm - Spawn Dec 27, 07:07 2
        
        oh it will be very very difficult, but he *can* do it. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 07:08 1
        
        (also, his cheque from us will be $500, so, slightly less) -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 07:09
        
        Of course she would not let him move in with Dave. - Spawn Dec 27, 06:57 3
        
        this is true, but dumb - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:58 2
        
        Not a matter of her needing the money as much as she wanted him to pay... - Jim Dec 27, 07:03 1
        
        *ding* - Spawn Dec 27, 07:05
        
        wow. that's...wow. - Diva Dec 27, 06:31 17
        
        next time your family tells you you ruined christmas tell them this story for perspective. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:35 16
        
        I'm not *really* laughing about that, but it made me chuckle. Like, in comeraderie. - landbeck Dec 27, 07:15 14
        
        whoa, sorry you have had to deal with this. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 27, 07:31
        
        how is he doing? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 07:25 3
        
        Stable. Living in a "Sobriety House" and looking for work. He came over on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. - landbeck Dec 27, 07:29 2
        
        best wishes for his continued well being and improvement. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 08:00
        
        hope things continue to improve, i can't imagine how stressful that all is. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 07:35

        I have never thought of comparing kids & pets - but you are right about it in your im. -- nm - DJenBro Dec 27, 09:06

      - smart move. -- nm - znufrii Dec 27, 06:21 2
        
        it makes a dent, but not a huge one. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:21 1
        
        is he able to make his minimum payments at least, so he's not racking up late charges every month, to boot? -- nm - znufrii Dec 27, 06:22
    - ah - znufrii Dec 27, 06:20 1
      - your IM - yes, yes she is. -- nm - Winter Wonderlandie Dec 27, 06:20
