Can I get fined £200,000/£300,000? (Law, Fruad)

[Noni]

Ok, this is not for homework if your wondering.

I'm calling up orange to cancel my sisters contract which is under my DADS name.

My dad is in the same room.

Im calling up and they ask, are you *dads name*, because 3 people are talking to me at once I say "yes". Then they ask like "whats your date of birth" and whatever and I hesistate, then they say "I dont think you are *insert name* sir".

I hang up in hesistation and thats it.

If I impersonate my father, with him not wanting to press charges and it was a mistake, can I be found liable?

Will orange chase this up?

I know I made a mistake, but my sister was moaning and my dad was being lazy.

Ive just had a huge argument with my dad over this thing, can someone set it straight?

I know this seems so stupid to argue over, but my family is stupid like that. and for ONCE I would like to give them facts.

What am I liable under and what are the maximum charges? I would go and look but right now I need to cook some dinner, and I really want to get it sorted ASAP.

You'll be fine
Lets just leave it at that

Mate, you might as well pull up a chair next to Saddam.

[BUFF]

so Orange don't think that you are your father, so who do they think you are then?
Could they prove it?

Go cook dinner

[Noni]

Well my dad was arguing that they record EVERY phonecall. And im like no, they record some for training perposes, otherwise they would tell you.

Im sorry this may seem nothing to you lot but I really want to show that I know something. anyhelp would be really, really appriciated.

and the prawns and cocanut milk with spices are simmering nicely

[johnny02004976]

for all they know you may have been disconnected

[dave87]

Nah, they're not going to fine you. The only reason you could get fined is if you made changes to the contract without authorisation.

[Whiternoise]

Mate, you might as well pull up a chair next to Saddam.

ROFL

[Hans Voralberg]

You havent even cancel the contract yet have you ? I dont see any reason why they would bother to go chase you up and sue you. Belive me they arent that free. Go cook dinner

[kempez]

They won' fine you but they may hunt you down and then dissect you're still-alive body

[charleski]

They insist on talking to the person named on the contract for their own protection as much as anything else. If they recorded the call, all they got was someone phoning from the house where your Dad lives saying he's your Dad - not much to go on there .

If your Dad's too lazy to phone them, just print out a letter canceling the contract and get him to sign it.

[kickstart 1]

Tell your sister to tell your dad to get off his backside .oops he doesnt even need to do that , surely he's not to lazy to hold a phone?

[XA04]

I would of thought that even if they would want to take it further (which is unlikely) they would need your dad to press charges against you.. or something like that anyway.
So unless Orange hate your guts and so does your dad - your ok
