[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 252462, member: 1233"] Sadly, because phone contracts ARE sold on a commission basis, there ARE people like this "manager" who go around the rules so that they can get the $$$ for the sale. I know my nephew had an issue with a store employee who was doing this. They ended up with a substantial # of contracts that were un-enforceable because this person lied and skipped things that were required. Often a manager can override certain things. So I can totally believe that a manager would give a phone to almost anyone. I am sad that some people in business are unscrupulous, but it does happen. I was at a mall with Jessie and a guy in one of the kiosks selling phones tried to get my 13yo daughter to sign up for phone service of her own, telling her it was perfectly legal, she could sign and get a free blackberry. He KNEW she was 13yo because sh TOLD him. I was a little ways away looking at a nearby kiosk and they caught my attention. I overheard EVERYTHING, including him pretending to check her credit. When he brought out the paperwork I stepped in and stopped it. All along Jess was saying she didn't need or want a new phone, though it was a nice one. She said she had no job and no income because she was not old enough to get a job. The man told her it was no problem, she could just get her "Daddy" to pay for it. The salesman was VERY pushy. At NO time did Jess say she wanted a phone. She was approached by HIM as she stood about 3 feet away from me. She did say the phones were nice. She ALSO said NO every time he asked her a question. So I can believe that Nomad's difficult child was mislead or buffaloed into this contract. And I can see asking the company to void or reduce the contract. If the phone co won't adjust things, difficult child and Nomad should go to a credit counsellor and have THEM negotiate with the phone co. Often this can help. [/QUOTE]
