Q: Someone who put a phone on my account refused to pay her part of the bill and has left me with an over $400 bill!
She sent me texts complaining about not having money and needing a phone so I offered to help and she said she would pay her half of the bill then went to Verizon and bought a new phone with me there. Then lost her phone and went and bought another brand new iPhone and raised the bill to well over $400 dollars and only paid one month on it then refused to return my calls and texts about the bill and blocked me on all social media.

A:
Treat this as a valuable life lesson. Cut off that phone, asap.
Then, if you have the time, sue her in small claims court.
A: While you have a claim against her in small claims, as to Verizon you have to pay the bill.
