I have 2 mobile contracts on April and because one phone is broken, I have to put sim card in my wallet.After 10 days, when my phone was ok, I could not find my sim card, so I immediately reported to Orange, but the operator told me that my bill was over 1500 pounds already. I was shocked and explained to him that I did not make any of those international phone calls at all, but he insisted that terms and conditions said I was responsible for all the calls before I reported. Another day luckily I found out 2 local numbers the thief called on the bill, so I was told the name and address of the thief and I immediately reported to the police. At the moment Police is still in the progress of investigating, but Orange had passed my account to Debt Collection Agency who is forcing me to pay otherwise a Country Court Claim will be sent to me. I feel so unfair, How can I afford this big amount which I did not use at all? What will happen if I go to Court and lose the case?

If you do go to court and lose, they should order that you only have to pay an amount you can afford over a period of time. You could make arrangements with Orange to pay an acceptable amount until the issue is resolved and avoid going to court.

You will have to pay this. The onus was on YOU to maintain the security of that sim card. Its highly unlikely that you would be able to prove that someone else used it for a length of time.
