Boy, 11, racks up £1,000 bill on mother's debit card playing XBox online

The kid looks like an obnoxious little shit, too.

Fuck them both. As if you wouldn't know how to read at eleven.

That being said, the Xbox billing system is, indeed, absolute fucking shit.

 

I totally agree. It's incredible how pathetic people can be these days.

It seems like no one wants to take responsibility for their actions. It's always someone else's fault.

 

Well, I can only say this. Another reason, why my future kids will have "loser consoles" (I say that VERY lightly) instead of "pay per month for some shit". Cause to me, it would be a LOT better for my future kids to understand, that you pay ONCE, and then you are enjoying the game and its FREE downloadable contents, in comparison to the bullshit so many people are doing with XBOX and all that jazz.

 

Looking at that kid, this probably isn't the first time in his life he's going to ring up a huge bill for 'online entertainment'..... /bitchiness

 

I like the way the Daily Mail failed to blot out his Xbox Live gamertag.

Prepare for backlash.

 

I couldn't find it whatsoever! I got Br3ndanJ0rd4n but it doesn't seem to be right.

 

Agreed, also if you are going to get your kids a console that connects to the internet and the HAS the ability to BUY anything, regardless if you are a gamer or not, you have to lock the console in some fashion . . . period.

What? doing construction work?:shrug:

Jokes aside, nope, you need beer goggles to tap that...

 

The mom should of unticked the fucking "save details" on the card. Or fucking read the Terms, don't bitch now..

 

Better than that, other articles say she created a Facebook page! Here's her reply:

Err, surely authorised means they had consent?!

 

I can't find it for the life of me but on that article in the comments section she blatantly gets shown how wrong she is and just carries on about her way.

 

I'm surprised no-one has picked up on this little gem from the BBC website report:

"It was just me wanting to get all this stuff which other people have which I don't have and I was getting jealous," he said.

Well fuck my tits. If that's all the justification he needs to essentially steal the best part of £1100 Christ help him in later life.I can just imagine the conversation in the custody suite: ''I'm sorry officer, I didn't mean to beat and rape that woman but my friend had her so why shouldn't I?''

Scum kid and piss-poor parenting, what a winning combination...

 

Spoiled brat chances his arm and racks up money on his XBLA account - That his mother set up with her credit card.

So she sets up a credit card-linked account for an eleven year old to use. WTF did she expect to happen?? and why is she complaining to MS when it's her fault?

Morons.

 

She said:

"People will say 'how did you not notice?', but my laptop, which I use for online banking, has been broken since July and I was mostly dealing with all the letters about direct debits bouncing to check my statements. I had just put it all down to the recession and rising costs of petrol and food.

dealing with debits bouncing and it didn't occur to her to check her balance? Also a bit fishy that she rings her bank only when she couldn't pay her mobile bill.....and not all the other previously bounced debits.

From here: http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway_messenger/news/2011/february/7/xbox_bill.aspx

And she pimps the fact it is on TV news in the comment section.

Given that apparently she has paid it off (and presumably all the other bounced debits and associated charges she mentions) a cynical person might say it was paid for by interviews....
