it also said to have "different ages for different services" so the fact you have a debit/credit card to pay is more than enough to prove you at least 16.

this will be interesting to watch i just wish i weren't caught in the net.

That's never been true in the UK? You don't have to be 16 to get a debit card, and having one isn't proof of any age. (For example, Barclays gave me my first debit card when I was 13, many years ago.)
There are debit cards in the UK marketed for down to 6 years old. Granted the accounts are linked to a parent.
