I Think I Bought Smething I Shouldn't Have!!!
13/F
So I play pokemon a lot and over the summer I bought a Ninetendo 3ds (bought with cash). For Christmas, my mom bought me Pokemon Y for my 3ds. There's this thing you can use to transfer pokemon from older games and it said that there was a 30 day free trial do I downloaded it, but my friend said (after I downloaded it)that you have to pay $5 PER YEAR. I don't know what to do it was supposed to be free. and the $5 is I think charged to a credit card and I don't have one. I'm scared to tell my mom because we wouldn't be able to afford if the $5 was taken from her credit card we're not well off. I need help I don't know what to do if I have to pay later I dont have money

I love the pokemon games! I've played the pokemon "x" game ever since I got it for Christmas. I also got the pokemon bank and don't worry, the free trial is well... free! A page comes up saying that your pass has expired right when you download it. In the app, at the top of the lower screen it says how many days you have left on your pass; it should say "28 days left" or something like that.
Don't worry. it won't automatically charge your moms credit card without asking.
After the 30 days is up, watch for any kind of message and read through it before accepting. This might be asking you to renew your subscription.
Also, talk to your mom about any extra charges on her credit card. If for some reason the card was charged for the pokemon bank, your mom will understand. You can ask your mom how you can make up the money or do some extra chores around the house top make up for the mistake. I promise you that she will understand.
I hope this helps! (:

If the free trial asked for credit card info before they would send it and you didn't provide it, and they required it to allow the download,then you would not have been able to download it. If the credit card info. was asked for and you did not fill it in, but they still allowed you to download something for free, then no one will be charging your parents card because they need a card number to do so.
If you filled in a spot on a form on-line, using moms or dads credit card, taking it from their wallet without permission to put the numbers in the form online...then yes you have a problem.
$5. dollars once a year may not be that big a deal, $5. a month may have more impact. However, it was not your choice to make if it is their money or their credit info you are giving out. ONe has to be very careful in todays world about giving out credit information or any other personal information since there are many crooks out there waiting to use the information to steal a persons identity, wipe out their accounts, resulting in bills not paid and bad credit. It may be just $5. but its the principle behind this. You must tell your parents and expect them to be very angry if you used their credit card information on line. If you did not use it but got the free download, you may want to show the parents what you did on the pc, what the offer was, have them read it so they can explain it to you. These are important things to begin to learn now so that once you are an adult and have your own bank account, you don't get suckered in on ads for things that seem free but aren't and have some catch.
