They will take you to court. When you lose, they will order you to pay. When you do not pay, they will garnish your wages. You would end up paying, the original debt, plus all of the legal fees and fines.
This is not something that gets sent to a debt collector who will call you a bunch of times before selling your debt to someone else.
The company will pay it, then it will sue the father for the non-work related charges. Maybe Google will cave and dismiss most or all of the charges. But if they do not, the company most certainly will not eat it and be satisfied. Losing his job would be the least of his worries. They will eventually petition to have the court collect the money via force (garnishment). Trust me, either way, you’d end up paying at least some amount.
Well…perhaps YouTube’s TOS means you agree to pay such fees, if the father signed the kid up and agreed to them. And a court always has discretion, even if the default is to pay your own fees.

Then court it is. The debt isn’t in the father’s name. The company would have to sue for it.
My credit card can only go to like $5000. Anything extra is the company’s negligence.

I don’t know if it’s for sure thing that the company would pay, honestly, either.
It could possibly just get stuck in accounts payable.
LOL
What does “get stuck in accounts payable” mean?
If you have a debt of $100k, and you don’t pay, eventually the court takes all your money and all your stuff.
A lot of companies just end up not paying. See Trump’s companies for an example.
Do you know how credit cards work by chance
Contract law isn’t usually loser pays.
I don’t understand what you are trying to say.
They’re trying to say that losing a contract dispute doesn’t make you liable for ‘all’ of the legal fees, just your own.
In some situations the plaintiff can also have the defendant be required to pay their legal fees, this just isn’t one of them.

That’s fair, you’re right that there’s more nuance to it and it may be as you say. I just wanted to provide a layman’s explanation for future readers.
