Question Posted Monday December 29 2008, 11:52 pm

My 16 year old son ran up his dad's cell phone bill to $6,000!!! He was downloading you tube videos. Is there anyway his dad can get out of this because my son is a minor? He needs his cell phone for his business. Please help!!!

Hmm.

Legally, you're probably screwed. Your contract is going to make charges your sole responsibility. Basically, your husband is responsible because he allowed your son to have access to the account.

First advice is speak to an attourney. I believe that if the charges were by a minor under 14 it would be more easily contestable. But don't quote me on that.

Go meet with an attourney ASAP.

But there is a very good chance that your son just stuck his father with a 6 grand debt that you won't be able to shake. Cell phone contracts are worded to put situations like this in favor of the company.
