I've been quite ill following surgery and been bed bound for a week. Ds went away to his dads on Friday. I looked on my iPad today and found in banking 3 transactions I didn't recognise. Totalling £68. It had sent my cc over its limit. I immediately paid the £68 so card wasn't over limit and found out after several phone calls to banks and Microsoft. As stated x box live on each transaction. To cut a long story short I have found with help of my ex h and current h that ds has stolen 3 credit cards and taken money to the total of £204 to my knowledge. We believe that is all. It has sent 2 cards over the limit. Meaning my experience report will be affected and I will incur additional charges.
I don't know if this is a one off. Or whether its been ongoing for some time. I'm so disappointed and furious. I don't know how he thought he'd get away with this.
I'm most annoyed about my experience report as we are trying to get a mortgage and I'm so careful not to damage my credit rating by always making payments in good time and never going over limits.
So my first thought is the x box will be sold and any games to go towards the cost. He is at his dads until Friday and Xbox already confiscated. And then a boring summer of jobs but is this going to make him resort to stealing again?
What else do I do and what on earth do I say lying and stealing are pretty major in my book. He claims he got the idea from dss but we checked dss Xbox and no sign of the same thing.
