Presumably companies can't enforce debts against children [who are under the age of criminal liability, which is under-10 in UK].

I knew that in Germany contracts with minors are voidable. After some checking they apparently are voidable in the U.S. as well:
> Contracts with minors are voidable at the minor's discretion but exceptions exist, such as contracts for necessities (e.g., food, health, and transportation).
