So basically, my friend just told me that he just received a bill from a phone that he lost after a night out we had just over a month ago (but we actually concluded that a girl he took home that night stole it when she fled the morning after, as he had it coming home)
This bill is £11,600.
He has rang up whatever network it was and they have basically said; and because he never reported it stolen, that he 'has to pay it.' Naturally, I'd think these sort of companies would demand money wherever they can in a situation like this, but I'm sure if you fight it instead of rolling over the damage can be controlled. He also said when he asked 'is there anything that can be done?', that they couldn't speak to him about it entirely since his name/bank account isn't on the bill. and stated once more that 'he has to pay it'.
Can anyone help on this one? £11,600 is a lot of dolla.
Remember, this is in the UK.
Cheers!
