Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast KIP. This morning,
I got a phone call very early from my youngest son,
who has been living in America and Canada. How long
have you been away.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Buddy combined? I think it's what nine months? And I
think I less than February?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Are you still?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Are you still with your girlfriend? There?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I am, she's right next to me.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Nice little Isabella, Isabella?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Okay, Pipes. You started the conversation at three point thirty
this morning by going, Mum, I've got an adult question.
And I think my response was how much money do
you owe?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Buddy? So?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
What happened? When was this in Canada or America? Where's
this question?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
He's a Canadian thing that is now accumulated?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Okay, what do you do?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I didn't pay a phone bill is now continued to
get larger and larger.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
How much was it originally?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I want to say it.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
With sixty dollars Canadians, right, that's okay, that's not so bad.
And then but what's it? What's it turned into?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Okay, so it's turned into four hundred and fifty now,
I think?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And are you asking your mum if you can just
ignore it? They hope that it goes away.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
That's correct, and I don't know what to do about it.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
So are you planning on having going back to Canada?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I don't know. I haven't been in Canada for six
months now, so I ended Canada. I had They given
me a month of data and I was like, hang on,
I haven't paid this. I'm just not going to pay it.
So then it kind of spiraled into a thing. So
they have no access to any of my things and
(01:48):
they can't directly charge me money, but.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
They know who you are. They've got all your details.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They have like my account that they have set up
through them, but I don't know how much details they
have in mine, Like they don't have enough to immediately
take money off me.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
I know that that's an interesting one.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Okay, what do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Did you talk to them about just paying their original
sixty and then leaving you alone?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
So that's what happened is they send me an email
and they said this is going to get sent off
to a debt collector in five days. Before the five days,
we can wipe ninety percent of it. And you just
paid ten percent of it. So I was like, fine, whatever,
I'll just do it. Yeah, then have a message and
was like, can I do this? They were like, in
order to do this, you have to set up an
(02:30):
account for six months, paying monthly for six months, which
is sixty dollars a month for six months the thrend
and sixty dollars plus the forty dollars fee, which is
again four hundred dollars. So I'm not going to be
in Canada. Why do I need six months worth of
data yet I'm not going to use So I'm not
doing that.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Man, I don't know, and I don't know what the
deal is between America and Canada. I feel like they
would definitely be sharing information.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
We are both.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, My problem is that there's nothing connecting me to it.
And the account that I have and paid it with
was a debit card, which I'm pulling the money out
of in cancing. Anyway, because I'm not going back to Canada.
Speaker 3 (03:12):

Speaker 2 (03:15):

a three hundred and seventy eight euro speeding fine waiting
for me in Italy.

It's the same deal, but I don't plan to ever
go back to Italy?
Speaker 2 (03:33):

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Just roll the dice, mate, you'll be right. Except what
does Isabella say?

Oh, I'm so paranoid about it.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I'm like, you're going to try to buy a car
like ten years from now and you're credit to be ruined.
