[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 381724, member: 1991"] That is how it is for us in Australia, DaisyFace, so I presume it is for you guys too. It would just be too easy to go on a spending spree yourselves then try to get out of the expense by claiming your wayward teen got their hands on your card and spent it. If you want the credit card company to not bill you, they need to be sure you're not just stringing them along. Let's say your kid goes on a spree and buys a big screen TV, maybe buys other stuff you can use for the house which you actually get to enjoy - but you want to get out of it for free. Blaming the kid would be a good way, and would be used a lot, if there were no consequences and if it worked. So really, it stands to reason that if you did not authorise the expenditure and you want to be rescued from what your kid has done, you have to be prepared to drop them in it. Just as if the neighbourhood car burglar broke in and stole your jewellery. You would need to file a police report in order to claim on your contents insurance. In the same way, the credit card company has to file their own insurance claim and for this, it generally requires a police report. It's why a lot of parents don't dob their kids in, but quietly pay the bills. Until it gets too much. Marg [/QUOTE]
