I got my switch card around 4 months ago when I was just 16. You are not meant to have one of these cards until you are 18, but they let me have one. It is one of my biggest ever mistakes. I am now £20 in debt, because of a transaction my step-sister made using my card to top up my mobile phone. I could not cancel the order, and there was nothing stopping the transaction going through, although there was no money in my account!. The switch service is accepted in almost every shop in the UK, but nowhere else. I wish I could just chop up the card, but it has had its good uses. It allows me to pay for things instantlly, like concert tickets. DONT GET ONE AT 16 is all I have to say, Big mistake unless you are good with your money.

Sorry you're in debt, but I don't really think the Switch card is to blame....
