Sister abusing Netflix Account

101 replies

I don't think I am but shouty sister is making me doubt myself.

DP has a Netflix account. He uses it to watch stuff during his lunch break and at home. I use his account for binge watching at home. All good. DS came to stay for a while and used our Netflix account when she was staying with us. Since moving out she had continued to watch and download stuff on our account. No one was particularly bothered by this, as the only time I use the account is to stream stuff at home.

Now holidays have arrived. I went to download a few episodes of something to watch on the plane and it says there are too many devices being used. I text sister to ask her to delete her downloads and she said she would. 2 weeks later, she still hasn't done it.

We're now due to go on holiday - train this time and we have the same problem. I phoned DS to remind her to delete all the downloads and her response was "but I'm flying to Canada on Monday! What am I supposed to watch?" I suggested that she get her own account, at which she wailed and nashed her teeth saying "you don't pay for the account so you have to right to order me to delete downloads.

Spoke to DP and he has deleted her device off the account and changed the password. Since then I've been getting abusive text messages from her. So, I'm really not being unreasonable am I?

DS is 32, so not some stroppy teenager.

I have not responded to any of her texts. She's been looking for an argument all week, so much so that I said to DP, a few days ago, that she was trying to bait me and provoke a reaction from me Hmm

I'm not sure what tier of subscription DP has but his laptop, his iPad, my iPad, DS's iPad and the TV at home were on the account. It would seem that our download limit was to 3 devices - DP's 2 devices and DS's.

As I said, password changed and her device knocked off of the account. I'll not see her before she goes to Canada. Hopefully she'll have cooled off by the time she returns.
